    "Violent Ken" was named after his brainwashed version in the SF2 movie where he was super aggressive. CAPCOM never named him it was actually an SNK game that he appeared first, as they were inspired by The SF2 animated Movie. He was also insanely popular amongst fans in MUGEN in the mid 2000s

    If Capcom really wanted to justify that price point, Evil Ryu and Violent Ken was not the way to go. They wanted to add Shoto Characters, then Dan and Sakura should have been the "new" fighters. They have their own stages and theme songs, the Shoto animations are tweakable, and they are fan favorites. After all, Capcom was willing to tap into the CPS2 Engine code to tweak Evil Ryu and Violent Ken to fit inside Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo for Ultra Street Fighter 2, why stop there?

    One thing that always looks odd in the HD remix and Ultra is that while the artwork is painstakingly redrawn in high resolution and characters look gorgeous, they still move as in the old game. That might be a plus because gameplay will be more similar to the original SF2, but I think the quality of sprites make the choppy animation stand out (animation of SF2 was stellar when it was released, of course)

    Ultra Street Fighter 2 is probably my favourite iteration, due to a number of reasons:
    1. The CPU A.I is not insanely hard like the US version of Super Turbo. The difficulty settings are what you get. If you want added tougher challenge, it’s there.
    2. You can use the classic colours with Super Combos (I.e Ryu with white gi, red headband with Shinkuu Hadouken) ST you couldn’t do that unless you either use hacks.
    3. Akuma is readily selectable as well as Shin Akuma and finally you also have Evil Ryu and Violent Ken.
    4. The ‘lite’ control setting makes super combos much easier to pull off for different characters. Guile’s double flash for example and Evil Ryu and Akuma’s raging demon. It’s very tricky to execute

    So much of this is wrong.
    SF4 was in development before the pitch for HD Remix. It's possible the success of the sloppy HF port on XBL encouraged them to make a new title, but it seems like SF4 was in the planning stages even before then.
    HD Remix was largely a pitch from Backbone (likely with pressing by Sirlin) based on the large success of HF for XBL and Puzzle Fighter HD Remix. Capcom never took the initiative for the HD Remix project, although they tried to take credit for it after it blew up in popularity.

    My initial issue with Ultra SF2 (as you mentioned) was that it felt overpriced at the time (for what you were getting) and took advantage of the Switch launch; where owners of the console were desperately looking for any good games and variety. I bought it digitally on it's initial launch, but I wanted at least a SF Collection for the Switch launch (which in typical Capcom fashion; we got a year later on all platforms). It also didn't help that Capcom seemed to heavily imply that if this game didn't sell well; Switch owners would not likely get any more Capcom support as a whole (which really rubbed consumers the wrong way). ....
    However, in retrospect; this version of SF 2 is the best and most well tweaked out of all the SF 2 games (specifically when playing with the classic graphics and music). It is much more forgiving in doing the moves, there are actually a bit more frames of animations, the timing of movements, jumps, spacing and just about every aspect of the core game itself; is very refined. Even the Netcode is pretty good compared to that found in the collection that came a year later! I did not notice all this at first, but only after I started playing it again later that year; it was a night and day difference. Still wished they added a true and rebalanced widescreen more (like it is when using the new graphics option) but this game really is a gem; despite the circumstances. It really is my favorite version (the classic mode specifically, the new default mode is good, but entirely different in it's balancing than the classic mode).

    After sitting on this a little longer, I had to add this…
    I cannot officially verify this, but based on experiences in actively being in parts of creative media projects, I’ve always had this take on the naming.
    The narrative of the naming “Violent Ken” rather than “Evil Ken”, Evil Ryu was already well established after being made official with the fact he became a player character in official SF game titles. Evil Ryu even has a fully fleshed background, and with the fact Satsui No Hado has a dark side, makes the “Evil” name more of a fit to add on to Ryu, as he has to accept into its evil intent.
    Being that names already was in issue in their earlier issues, being the original 4 bosses in swapping for regional differences, it has to be sure it will fit and stand for times to come.
    Now with the fact Capcom has never integrated an evil version of Ken, the games that same “Violent Ken” is without of a doubt based on the mind control of the movie, and SNK was well versed with that much of the title, and being they have the relationship with capcom, they got to have creative freedom to naming him how they want for that version.
    Going “Evil” on the naming for Ken didn’t seem to have a good fit, as his transformation was not induced to accepting into the darkness of the Satsui No Hado, but rather forcing his Psycho Energy into him, and gaining access to controlling him how his wanted, in which, he wanted a very strong fighting mind puppet. He knew how strong Ken was, and was hoping him to take down Ryu being that they are the best of sparring partners with history.
    Making Ken go overdrive with no mind control for himself would make him a pretty “violent” man….
    That’s just my take I’ve always had.

    Capcom didnt even know that the head of the SF2 team was working on the championship edition so can't say they had anything to do with that. Plus those upgrades were for arcades and ported to home consoles as unenviability to give the home audience to own the arcade versions they loved. If they didn't keep updating the game back in the day the game would of failed in the arcade the home market wasn't the driving force at that time...

    I personally love Ultra Street Fighter II. In my opinion it is the best version of SFII as it’s really well balanced. Throws used to do stupid amounts of damage in SFII iterations until this one came out. Also I affectionately call the Way of the Hadou mode Virtual Ryu mode. Also in my opinion the graphics for “Virtual Ryu” look a bit more like SFIV when it comes to Ryu himself.

    I actually found USF2 to be my favorite version of the game. It added some content and modes I wish was in more games.
    But I can understand why people don't like the game. It's a rather pricey port, I feel the price was made because of the art gallery.
    As said gallery is basically pages from one of capcoms most expensive art books that can be bought at the same price.

    I have no problems with the same game being released on multiple systems. I don't particularly want to be locked down into have to buy system X to play game Y, although for first or second party developed games I can understand. But I don't think third parties should be locked down to a particular system. Imagine if Squaresoft were allowed to release their Final Fantasy or Mana series on the Sega Genesis in addition to the SNES. Even though my loyalty was to Nintendo back in the day, I could have had more of an appreciation for the Genesis if I could see those games on it. I did have a lot of respect for it seeing the SF2 games on it. Shame on you Nintendo for locking Capcom into an exclusive on the first release of SF2. Oh well, at least Capcom had the wisdom to work around that by releasing slightly different versions with the following iterations on the SNES and Genesis so not to break any legal contracts with Nintendo (as far as I understand).

    I do have most of many games over different consoles through out the years, I enjoy them nostalgically but I've always noticed that
    Capcom would make "just another Street Fighter" game & always seemed to get away with selling them under the guise of a "Capcom VS
    /Battle Royale" tittle which you'll think Capcom should diverse the line-up immensely. This leads to whether Capcom own the rights to
    the games/characters or are the owned by different companies. When it's Street Figher related we all know part of the hymn sheet to sing
    from, when Capcom related mix it up more.

    What Capcom don't understand is that some of us old-retro players have had enough of being bumped, paying for old games (we have bought multiple times) for new/high prices. Why would we want to purchase old roms again and again, just on a new system? As said in the video, the update of x2 characters being slighlty changed in their move-set is not enough, I mean, you can get that for free (if you know where to look) by going on MAME and playing SF2 Rainbow Edition, now thats ah hell of ah good game, including all the other modded games in the Alpha series.
    The video is right, Capcom is so lazy. Take SFA3 for example, on the PS1, you got a mode called 'World Tour Mode' to gain perks and mod your fighter, that was an amazing addition to the game, even the franchise, putting more creative control in the players hands. I have never seen this mode return in any SFA3 reboot and each reboot the character selection is like the most basic version, never adding the secret characters. Its sad. OK for this new SF on the Switch they added x2 against 1 fights which I think I first saw in SFA1, but they could be doing alot more with this old title. Its almost as if you have to wait on the fans to create a fun modded version of a game rather than the developers themselves. Its not as if the feedback isn't there. Sad times.
