Akira Nishitani recently started a Twitter account, though instead a heavily-filtered brunch photos 'n duck-faced mirror portraits, the Street Fighter 2 director has been doling out little-known details on the seminal fighter's creation.

For instance, did ye know that the periodic red hadoukens in Street Fighter 2 be not glitches, but instead easter eggs that became wildly popular among fans? Or that each pugilist be originally supposed t' feature positional damaging - kicking someone in the head would do more damage than kicking them in the leg - but that the feature be cut because the game just refused t' recognize hitboxes properly?

me favorite bit a trivia be the controversy over Chun Li's leggings. The development team be okay with Chun Li's borderline-equine thighs, but the tights covering them be a massive point a contention. According t' Nishitani, they had t' be redrawn from scratch three times before Capcom finally agreed t' the outfit.
