Capcom's Christian Svensson answered some questions on the Ask Capcom Forum at Capcom Unity.  One question was about the potential for a re-release of Street Fighter 3: Third Strike for current consoles.  Another question was about Avatar items/unlocks for Super Street Fighter 4. Here are the questions and replies:

Question:

How would i get ahold of Yoshinori Ono to ask him, beg him, shine his shoes for life, for a arcade perfect, downloadable version of 3rd strike for the Playstation 3 and xbox 360.

This is very important to me, as well as other players across the world, alot of people don't know or realize that there are 3 games that carried the street fighter franchise. Super Turbo, Marvel vs Capcom 2, and Street Fighter 3: 3rd Strike.

Two of the three afore mentioned titles have had HD make overs, i'm not even asking for that, i just want a arcade perfect port don't need to waste time making new graphics just make sure that everything is the same hit boxes frame data and the game runs at a smooth 60fps.

Sven:

It's not up to Ono-san so you'd be asking the wrong person.

The Capcom USA board would make that decision and such a project is more likely to be championed in our office rather than Japan given recent history (the two other projects you mentioned were championed by me specifically and produced in our our office).

Unfortunately, there's nothing new to discuss on that front at the moment.

Question:

Since Street Fighter IV didn't release any Xbox Live Avatar Items or etc, is there any plans for Super Street Fighter IV to have Avatar Items/ Awards / Rewards?

Sven:

We've got some surprises in store with regard to SF avatar gear. Stay tuned.
