[Some Stupid Japanese Name]

Haven't played Remix yet, but if all they did was remake sprites, how could it animate worse than the original?

[Yoshi]

It animates exactly the same as the original, which was by design to keep the timing intact.

In theory, it's the same, sure. Except consistency in the artwork is lacking and to me what used to animate well enough looks like a jerky mess.

Barring the online glitches, HD remix is possibly the only fighter you need to play besides 3S and the forthcoming ST4

KOF '98 UM, MOTW and Last Blade 2 say you can fuck off.

I'm so glad to be hearing more people say this. I've been saying it all along, though I have to concede that it looks much better on my monitor than it did in stills. As much of a laugh as the old sprites are scaled up and blurry as shit, it's depressing to watch them animate and see how much better they look as a whole. The inconsistency between frames, the outright poor art... it's a total mess.

People are just bitter that a 3D Street Fighter looks better than their precious sprites.

Its got all the same frames, sure - but it doesnt animate as well. We already discussed this months ago, and they didnt fix it since then. I booted up SSF2T on 2DF for a while the other day and it really is noticable, if youre into that sorta thing.
