That Madcatz ad will never not be awesome. It's like the FGC version of a sportscenter ad. If they made a whole series of them where it's just stuff like Combofiend and Justin Wong having coffee while Bison teleports into the break room, takes a snack, then teleports out.

I really hope they go with this sort of idea. I cannot get tired of watching that ad. They did something similar with SC2 and the EG guys, it would work even better with SF/MvC.

Haunts is the main man behind IPlayWinner, which Team Spooky is partnered with and works together with a lot. I don't think Spooky will be that hurt that a corporate suit said someone else was the best streamer around because Spooky's never been about impressing those types anyways.

Do people not like HD Remix or does it just not fit well in tournaments where ST is basically a given? I would seriously rather watch back to back HD Remix and ST matches if it meant there was no time left for SFxT.

No one likes HDR better than regular ST. Except maybe David Sirlin.

Usually a tournament like this would be played on arcade ST hardware, but Capcom's doing classic mode in HDR presumably to promote the game.

Didn't they just say they're not using HDR for the finals but some other version that was on Dreamcast?

Edit: I don't know the loving difference so maybe its some sort of internal version you can pick I dunno.

Either way I guess. I guess I just totally misunderstood what HDR was. I thought the new sprites were drawn in such a way that they could perfectly port HF and ST to HDR and just have like a Sirlin Edition on top of that as a seperate mode but I guess not?

Edit: wait a minute of course they can. The only thing that matters are the hitboxes. I guess old sprites are just there for posterity.

To clear this up:

HDR is a whole new game.

You can choose to play Classic/ST mode in the game, which is meant to just be ST, but it is based on the Dreamcast port of ST which has some minute differences from the arcade version. People generally prefer the real arcade version, but you take what you can get.

The characters have different properties for their moves. Usually the older chars have better advantages on normal moves instead of having super meters.
