Behind-the-Scenes: Rebalancing Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix (part 6, Cammy)

February 28th, 2008 Seth Killian

This is part six in an extended series of articles from David Sirlin, detailing the changes we’ve made to the rebalanced mode of the new Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix project. The previous 5 articles can be found here. This week’s article focuses on our beret-wearing sexpot, Cammy.

In a nutshell, this revised Cammy finally lets you do everything you always wanted to do–and you may even win a match now and again! The new Cammy is a ton of fun and will hooligan roll her way right into your heart. Read on for the changes:

Return of Ace Attorney Producer’s Giant Blog!

February 7th, 2008 Seth Killian

Another gigantic (really!) blog entry from Ace Attorney producer, Minae Matsukawa.  Head over to the Ace Attorney site and click on the “Dev Blog” tab for the latest installment, intriguingly titld “Native Hunter.”  Matsukawa-san recounts the genesis of the series’ unique approach to voice acting, the Apollo Justice translator, and the glorious rise to the top of known Capcom neer-do-wells including Ben Judd (bully) and David Crislip (whose epidermis is totally showing).  Sample quote:

That’s when Mr. Yamazaki, the planner in charge of voice recording, came up to me and said, “Hey, we can be like a bunch of Monster Hunters!  We should hunt down and capture some native English speakers.  Then we can take their voices as trophies!!”  (“Monster Hunter” was pretty popular within our company at the time.)

Zow!   PS- yes I realize that’s Phoenix and not Apollo.  I just like the picture.
