The new Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix has been, from the start, a project developed for hardcore fans of Street Fighter by hardcore fans of Street Fighter. I’ve been so proud to see Capcom welcome so much participation from the fighting game community into their development processes. In the past, I’ve mocked them for doing so, listening to the majority of the community…even though the majority are idiots.

Over in the Shoryuken forums, David Sirlin has posted this message, addressing the masses regarding the victory quotes of previous releases of the Street Fighter II games. Apparently the development team needs help retrieving the original quotes (which I find odd that Capcom wouldn’t have available for them in some kind of knowledge base). What makes it challenging is that there are slightly different versions depending on which port (arcade, SNES, etc.) and the Game Boy Advance version had a whole new set.

The cool thing is that David Sirlin has offered the community the chance to come up with some new quotes, though he makes no promise that any of them will make it into the final cut. Time to flex your creative muscle, folks! So far, my personal favorite (and I’ll paraphrase here) comes from the guy who runs the Street Fighter Blog, who assigns Balrog to end his fights with, “Get lost before I chew off your ear!” How perfect is that?
