Capcom Comments on Guile Character Concerns

Backlash leads to Street Fighter II HD Remix alterations.

By Andrew Hayward, 06/22/2007

As it has done for the past few weeks, Capcom posted new character sketches from the forthcoming Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix on Monday. Though we saw a handful of mixed responses to Udon's new design in the comments section of our news story, the original post on the Capcom Digital blog was bombarded with more than 100 responses, many of them negative.

Another post was added to the blog today, this time with a message from Producer Rey Jimenez about the backlash and what they plan to do about it:

"Well it was a pretty rough week for Guile. Reaction to his new artwork ranged pretty widely. Thanks for all the feedback. We are definitely listening. I won't go into specifics, but we are considering revising some of his look based on the reactions I've been reading on the blog and many of the boards I keep up with."

Jimenez noted that not every suggestion could be taken into consideration, but said that the game is "coming along marvelously." Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix is expected via the Xbox Live Arcade and PlayStation Store later this year. We'll continue to bring the art updates as long as you promise to keep (creatively) criticizing them.
