Player rebuilds Street Fighter II in HD with Claude: $3,000 of tokens, 3 weeks

A competitive Street Fighter player spent three weeks building an HD version of Street Fighter II using Claude as the main dev tool, now 90% done. Unlike official HD remixes, it runs on the original ROM, preserving original mechanics, timing, glitches and tricks. Claude handled nearly all programming (analyzing the game, modifying the emulator, writing and debugging code); ChatGPT was used separately for HD graphics and research. Estimated token cost: $3,000+.
