China Gets Its First Female Street Fighter Champ

China Gets Its First Female Street Fighter Champ

Xiao Zhao became her country's first female Street Fighter champion after coming out on top at a Super Street Fighter IV: AE v2012 tournament. Playing as Dhalsim, she defeated her competition at the Nanning Mario Arcade Center in Guangxi last month.

Her prize? Besides self-satisfaction and that large cardboard cutout, Xiao Zhao was awarded an iPhone 4S. Congrats to her!
