Street Fighter II & IV: sick combos & Seth in action

Street Fighter II & IV: sick combos & Seth in action

What I would estimate is one of the most hyped series' right now, Street Fighter, has many fans excited for what's to come. First we have the classic Street Fighter II being revamped for PSN and XBL in the form of Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix, and then of course, there's Street Fighter IV. The former is due out sometime this month, while the latter is coming in February, and later in 2009 for the PC.

So, if you're keen to feed your own excitement, first up we have a combo video for SSF II THDR (even the acryonym is tiring), which shows some of the more impossible things which can be done in the game. It's the kind of thing where if you haven't been playing Street Fighter every other day since grade school, you feel like crap after watching it. It isn't in HD, apparently, but you take what you can get:

Next up is one for Street Fighter IV, where we see the boss character Seth in action at last. Known as "The Puppet Master" (snicker), he is the CEO of S.I.N., the weapons division of Shadaloo. Seth's body has been modified using advanced technology, and his Special Moves are techniques used by other characters (standard fighting game fare). If you ask me, his super move is about the weirdest and cheesiest thing I've seen in a fighting game, but other than that he looks great and so does the game. Check him out:
