Spawn and Heihachi Going Multi-Platform for SC2HD!

With all this excitement over Spawn, it seems that people haven't noticed that according to some of these screenshots, INFERNO will now be playable as well. I've actually suspected this since the reveal trailer because it showcased Inferno there as well, and I found it odd to show the boss character in a reveal trailer like that. The trailer also showed Inferno's stage among a quick slideshow of the stages, so that will probably be selectable now too.

Inferno being playable will be interesting for a few reasons:

Firstly, Inferno has a couple of unique moves regardless of which style he uses (in SC1 the input for them was A8 and B8). His unique moves were shown in the trailer so he will probably still have them.

The second thing is, unlike Charade, Inferno uses 3 styles per round because he switches styles everytime 1/3 of his health bar gets depleted. This means that combos done on him that take more than 1/3 health will automatically get dropped in order for Inferno to do his weapon switch animation. I can imagine this will cause some people to bitch and moan about their combos being dropped, and may even unfortunately cause a tournament ban debate. However, there is no confirmation that he will retain this property as a selectable character, it may just be something that he does when you fight him in arcade mode.

Lastly, while Spawn/Necrid/Heihachi will never be mimicked due to guest status, it will be interesting if they also have Inferno mimic Lizardman/Assassin/Berserker since Charade did not. Or even Charade for that matter.
