It’s Street Fighter Plus Horse Racing

Oh, plus sumo wrestling. But since E. Honda is already a Street Fighter character, that’s not as unusual as hadokening from a moving horse. To promote the upcoming Japan Cup, the Japan Racing Association has teamed up with Capcom for a horse racing game with SF characters and real sumo wrestlers. It’s a rhythm game…

The Perfect Street Fighter Soundtrack

So, that definitive Street Fighter soundtrack we wrote about a few weeks ago is now out. I’ve been listening to it all weekend, and it’s fantastic. Available digitally, as a CD box set or an LP box set, there are 46 tracks in all. What makes this “definitive” is that the tracks are all lifted…

Goofy Dad Recreates Street Fighter’s Victory Poses

It’s not the sweet-as-pie recreations themselves that get me. It’s the thought of how much practice must have gone into a video like this. The hours, days, weeks spent leaping and thrusting and combing his hair just to get it this right. If it all seems a bit familiar, that’s because Nick Luciano managed to…

Ronda Rousey Is No Match for Holly Holm in Modded Street Fighter, Either

The Street Fighter version of the Ronda Rousey/Holly Holm fight isn’t quite as bloody as the real thing. Still really quick, though.

Examining The Career Of A Pro Street Fighter Legend

Darryl Lewis didn’t know what to expect when he first entered into the Super Street Fighter 2 competition at EVO in 2010. It was (and still is) the world’s largest fighting game tournament, and Lewis, who was 21, had only ever played in one other tournament. When Lewis—now best known in the fighting game community…

Street Fighter Character’s Motivational Speeches Are Hype As Hell 

R. Mika really knows how to get people pumped, let me tell you. Earlier this year, we wrote about R. Mika’s special V-Skill ability, which allows her to become so powerful, she can almost one-hit-kill her enemies—provided, of course, that she can finish the entirety of her speech beforehand. It looked really rad! That’s not…

Giant Street Fighter Graffiti Covers Tokyo Building

Graffiti artist CASE (from German crew Maclaim) is famous for covering buildings in enormous, life-like images. This E. Honda he did last week in Japan is no exception. Done near the Tennōzu Isle Station in Shinagawa, Tokyo it’s around twelve stories high, and because of its size/prominence there’s a ton of cool progress shots of…

Street Fighter EX Character Gets A Badass Tribute Video

It’s an awesome combo video with a twist: Street Fighter veteran Desk used Street Fighter IV’s Mexican luchador El Fuerte and one of the game’s new horror costumes to recreate the goofy fan favorite from the EX series. He even remixed Skullomania’s theme to make it perfect. To contact the author of this post, write…

Street Fighter Replaces Giant Jesus Statue With… Soccer Trophy?

Cristo Redentor, the giant statue of Jesus that towers above the city of Rio de Janeiro, is one of the world’s great landmarks. It won’t be appearing in Street Fighter V, though, after Capcom decided to swap it out and replace it with…a monstrous replica of what sure looks like the FIFA World Cup trophy.…

Looks Like This Is a Brand New Street Fighter V Character

This is Laura. Apparently! We had never seen her until Japanese game site Famitsu, it seems, accidentally leaked the character today. On Famitsu.com, it looks like the Laura screens were mixed in with the announcement images of Zangief, whose return was officially announced today. The Laura screens (for example, here, here, and here, apparently) have…

Ronda Rousey, Kicking Floyd Mayweather’s Butt In Modded Street Fighter

Ronda Rousey and Floyd Mayweather may never wind up trading blows in real life. But, now we know who’d win if they were Street Fighter characters. YouTuber Richie Branson modded the PC version of Street Fighter IV so that he could make Balrog and Cammy resemble the UFC superstar and the dude she’s talked mad…

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…
