Street Fighter

When Street Fighter IV was released in 2008, it hit arcades first. Today at the Tokyo Game Show, Capcom told Kotaku that there are currently no plans for an arcade version for Street Fighter V. Even in Japan.

More Street Fighter V Beards, Capcom. Do It. 

There’s Ryu, and there’s Hot Ryu. The bearded Street Fighter character elicited quite a reaction with his grizzled chin. And don’t be surprised if there are more bearded SFV characters on the way. Today at the Tokyo Game Show, Capcom’s Matt Dahlgren told Kotaku that Ryu’s beard does factor into Street Fighter V’s story. But…

Street Fighter V‘s Latest Character Has an Annoying Laugh

Well, she’s always had an annoying laugh. Go figure. The latest fighter to enter the SFV fray is Karin, who made her playable debut in Street Fighter Alpha 3. Boy, she has an irritating laugh. (Like this!) In the above clip, you can see her beat the tar out of Rashid. And then, laugh. Ha.…

A Quick Look at Rashid, Street Fighter V‘s All-New Middle Eastern Character 

Street Fighter V’s already added a bunch of new ideas, features and redesigns to the next chapter of the fighting game franchise. But Capcom’s not done.

Street Fighter V’s Wrestler Has An Amazing Ability

R. Mika has a few work out tips for you. They’re pretty good! They also turn her into an absolute monster. When R. Mika was originally announced, the Capcom detailed her special “Mic Performance” V-Skill—she basically pulls out a microphone and gives you a little motivational speech. It’s a skill that beefs up her throws.…

After Complaints, Street Fighter‘s Cammy Looks Kinda Different

When Cammy was first shown in Street Fighter V, people online in Japan were not happy with the character’s appearance. Now, they are. As website Hachima Kikou noted at the time, Cammy’s SFV character design was called “exceedingly ugly” online in Japan. Sporting more angular features, the character did appear different from her Street Fighter…

Street Fighter V’s Bearded Ryu Is The Hottest Ryu

Well hello there, rugged Ryu. Did you lose your razor blade? I don’t mind. What you’re seeing above is not Joe Manganiello, contrary to what it may seem. Actually, it’s the special Gamestop “Battle Costume” pre-order skin for Street Fighter V. Here’s another look: Normally, we’re pretty wary of posting about pre-order incentives, but this…

R. Mika And Her Ridiculous Outfit Join Street Fighter V

Here’s a strange one: R. Mika, a wrestler who first appeared in Street Fighter Alpha 3, is joining the cast of the newest Street Fighter game, impractical costume and all. She looks fun to play—check out those wrestling moves—but this is an odd choice given Mika’s lack of pedigree. Cool throwback, though! Says Capcom: As…

Street Fighter Player Knocked Out By Booger

Birdie, from Street Fighter V, has an idle animation where he picks his nose and flicks a booger at his opponent. Which is cute, but the thing is, it also does a teeny bit of damage when it hits. As EventHubs reports, this is rarely if ever a big deal, just a fun piece of…

Street Fighter V “Stress Tests” Starting Today

Street Fighter V tried to have a beta test.It didn’t work, though hey, that’s what beta tests are for. To ensure that they run one that does work, Capcom is taking it a little easier this time, and starting today they’ll be rolling out “a series of region specific stress tests” The first is in…

The Manliest Chun-Li Of All

Ladybeard—who is onto a very good thing in Japan as a cosplayer, pin-up model, wrestler, and metal singer—was at Comiket this year, absolutely killing it as…Chun-Li. Brian posted a single shot of himin his roundup, but I thought he deserved his own showcase, since he not only posted a bunch of studio photographs in the…

Vega Gets a Shirt in Street Fighter V

A few weeks ago, Street Fighter’s Ken character got a new look. This time, it’s Vega’s turn. Goodbye, pectoral muscles. Hello, frilly pirate shirt. You can see the newest look for the Spanish martial artist in the video above, where he’s sparring against new character Necalli

Street Fighter V Beta Postponed Until…It Actually Works

Hope you weren’t super turbo excited for the Street Fighter V beta over the weekend, because the thing was a complete clusterfuck. So much so that the whole thing was called off, and won’t be back until “the experience is going to be a positive one for players.” The announcement was made in a very…

The Street Fighter V Beta Is Back Online If You’re Incredibly Lucky

Back online briefly last night after launch problems brought it down, Capcom’s beta test for Street Fighter V is up and running for those lucky enough to get online past an assortment of numbered errors.

Jamie Lee Curtis And Family Went To EVO In Street Fighter Disguises

Attending the annual fighting tournament as part of a graduation trip for son Thomas, actress Jamie Lee Curtis donned the claws and mask of Street Fighter’s Vega to remain incognito in the crowd.

Street Fighter V Will Be A Constantly-Evolving Fighting Platform

The days of Super/Ultra/Hyper editions may be over.
