Capcom Announces Hyper Street Fighter II X

Thanks to ShackNews for pointing out Capcom's announcement of Hyper Street Fighter II X for PlayStation 2, which is due out this December in Japan, and will be properly showcased at the Tokyo Game Show later this month. Since Capcom are celebrating the 15th anniversary of the Street Fighter series, it's likely the game will sport a best-of character roster - although, as ShackNews notes, "...you gotta admire Capcom's ability to create ever-more-ridiculous Street Fighter names (although personally, my favorite is still Street Fighter EX 2 + Alpha)." While awaiting the official unveiling, you can check out the original series via classic RePlay arcade magazine scans from SNK-Capcom.com.

Favorite SF Name

[Mitaphane]

My personal favorite name was "Street Fighter: The Movie: The Game." As a game it was horrible but the there was something so funny about it's genesis: They took a good fighting game, turned it into a shitty movie, then turned it into a more shitty game based on said movie about game.

It amazing how ludricious CAPCOM has gotten with all it's incarnations of Street Fighter. I tried searching gamefaqs.com for "street fighter" to see how many games there have been but there were over 50 hits. Does anyone know how many has there been?

And of course the oblibligatory crazy amalgamation of the street fighter games:
