And you succeeded!
I think Sirlin’s work in rebalancing Puzzle Fighter HD is underappreciated. IMO he was successful in making the game more than a Ken/Donovan game, and I liked how he changed Chun-Li and Akuma into high-risk/high-reward characters. I’m confident that his balance changes in SFHD will help compress the tiers without breaking the game.
His Yomi card game is also very good. I really hope Capcom licenses the Street Fighter characters for the game so that he’ll be able to ride the Street Fighter 4 hype wave and get people to play and appreciate his game.
My kitten got ran over and killed one day.
David Sirlin looked upon it and wept, his tears bringing new life into the flattened husk. I thanked him repeatably and then we played Street Fighter. It was the best birthday ever.

I hope this game never comes out, and it ends up being one big practical joke.
Or it comes out and sirlin didn’t make any of the changes he said he did, He just applied the code from street fighter : Rainbow

I agree pfhd went under appreciated but donovan is still gay though he did a phenomenal balancing job, you should hit me up for some games sometime.
I can’t wait to beat on the yomi card game.
<3 sirlin, sucks about yomi not getting approved by Capcom.
“…even though its a great hardship for me to own a book with Jesus in the title (I prefer books with Dawkins on the cover)” - david sirlin
ahahahahahahaha he is such a stereotype and he doesn’t even know it
You misunderstand.
Sirlin prefers books with Darryl Dawkins on the cover. Like this one .
Every time Sirlin plays ST, an angel has an orgasm.
I heard the only reason David Sirlin walks our Earth was because he balanced Life and God got pissed at the nerf.
David sirlin remixed chuck.

Me too, but the future projects aren’t looking too likely atm
sirlin:
Besides various production duties, here is what I did on CCC2.
–Wrote about half the questions for the new Quiz&Dragons (Capcom staff wrote most of the rest)
–Wrote the tips for Street Fighter
–Picked out the unlockable art for Street Fighter and the order the art is shown in
–Produced 3 tutorial videos about how to play Street Fighter
–Contributed some of the physical objects that we photographed and used in the UI
–Made sure the button config screen was the kind where you highlight the function, then press the button. I wish we could have supported changing both controllers at once, but there was no time. Tried to implement “tournament pause” but had trouble with console manufacturer approvals.
–Wrote a spec (in English, not programming) for how we might be able to add a Versus mode to the game using some tricks, and how that mode should work.
–Wrote a spec (in English, not programming) for how a very basic training mode could work, if we could find some trick to implement it.
It was used the year after it came out, SFHD was announced shortly after, the attention turned to it with the assumption that it would be out in time for last year’s evo.
