by Richard Mitchell { Nov 12th 2008 at 3:00PM }

We're so sorry, other game trailers, but your day has come. "Starry Night?" Bested. "Mad World?" Beaten. What game managed to beat some of the best game trailers ever created? You're going to be surprised, but it's Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix. We absolutely will not spoil it for you, so your just going to have to watch. We suggest that you do so right now. And remember, sweep the leg.

Lest you don't get the reference, you can find a helpful video after the break.

I gotta wax off after that.

whookid @ Nov 12th 2008 3:09PM

Are you friggin kidding me? Is that actually the trailer for this game...

Hold on.. I think i'm dying. No. Just my soul laughing.

Disastor @ Nov 12th 2008 3:10PM

Yeah.. Get him a body bag!!

holmes @ Nov 12th 2008 3:14PM

god damn, i wish this game was out now. i've been holding off on my XBLA purchases for this title.

Martin @ Nov 12th 2008 3:21PM

seriously when i heard the karate kid montage song i thought... really? but then after seeing the classic remade... i almost shed a tear... i cant wait for it!!

apa @ Nov 12th 2008 3:21PM

I need a joystick for this... anyone recommend one?

The Hori arcade stick is the only way to go on Xbox 360. They're a little hard to find, but fry's almost always has them in stock:

It's built with arcade parts, has a steel base, and very solid feel overall... I wasn't too fond of the shorter-style joystick at first, but it's actually pretty awesome.

EPIC

dunnypop @ Nov 12th 2008 3:41PM

ya that kinda sold me.
I suck at SF2, but I remember wasting atleast $1000 in the arcade playing this.

refinedsugar @ Nov 12th 2008 3:42PM

You lured me onto the hype train and I should have gotten off at the first stop. Not the best trailer ever. Sorry.

meatee @ Nov 12th 2008 8:49PM

Apparently you hate my childhood.

mrpeatie @ Nov 12th 2008 3:44PM

Still can't believe they are remaking the Karate Kid already. The shameless, hollywood remake machine marches on. Will Smith's son is going to be playing Daniel LaRusso...

D dogg @ Nov 12th 2008 4:05PM

While off topic, I COMPLETELY AGREE.

Stop f**king with classics Hollywood!!!!!!

Dadidito @ Nov 12th 2008 3:47PM

Most likely getting the game... but cheesy (the trailer NOT the game) doesnt do it justice enough. Jeeze. I remember when I used to look forward to japanese trailers..... pity.

D dogg @ Nov 12th 2008 4:08PM

I remember when the Japanese used to barely acknowledge Western civilization let alone our culture.

Sure am glad things change because after 15 years of dealing with everything Japan being effeminate, I don't know how much longer I could put up with the same ole same ole.

joeybeast @ Nov 12th 2008 3:58PM

Did they announce the price yet?
I have a feeling it'll be more than 800 points.

ryan @ Nov 12th 2008 3:58PM

Macaroni and Cheese?!?! Hey, you know what I like!!!

Chance Morgan @ Nov 12th 2008 4:06PM

Did I just get rickrolled 2.0?

Cyber-Tyrant @ Nov 12th 2008 5:45PM

Bison: YES!!! YES!!!

Jaleel @ Nov 12th 2008 6:42PM

I figure the author is having a bit of fun saying it's the best trailer ever. The capcom intro was fantastic...fooled me into seeing the rest.

AoE @ Nov 12th 2008 8:18PM

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and guess that Karate Kid was a bit before your time?

Jaleel @ Nov 12th 2008 8:31PM

I think you misunderstood...I meant the capcom intro when the logo appears and Ryo says "Hadouken." It just looked and sounded cool. I saw Karate Kid in the movies when it came out, if that helps you.

dylan @ Nov 12th 2008 8:22PM

I can't wait for 2023 when this game is finally released...

Abe Froman @ Nov 13th 2008 5:50AM

Seriously? Best ever? I actually had pretty high expectations based on the content of the post but that was seriously disappointing.

Boff @ Nov 13th 2008 6:54AM

Have to agree with Abe, you set me up for a fall there X3F.

The trailer was good, but not good enough! If they'd had a bit at the end where Ryu hurts his leg and Goku comes to help him THEN I would have laughed!

Mmmmmmm Elizabeth Shue.

I hope I don't get flamed for this but, I don't like the 360 D-Pad, can't really get comfortable on an arcade stick in my house (gotta be standing up, in the back of a shady store, with a machine that the quarters only work in one slot and the other slot "eats" them)

What I'd REALLY like to do is hook up a Sega or even a PS2/3 controller to the 360. I think the PS2/3 Dpad is pretty adequate for fighting games. Anyone know if that's possible?
