10 Years Ago Today, One of Video Games’ Most Amazing Feats Happened
Evo Moment 37 happened a decade ago. That means we’re all older and, hopefully, wiser. The Daigo Parry hasn’t aged at all, though. It’s still one of the most incredible showcases of skill ever seen in video games. When Daigo Umehara’s Ken deflected more than a dozen rapid-fire attacks from Justin Wong’s Chun Li in…

Happy Fiftieth, Ryu!
They grow up so fast, don’t they? Street Fighter characters, that is. One day, they’re just a bunch of pixels in your favorite arcade game. Next thing you know, they’re being cast in live-action dramas including one regrettable movie with Jean-Claude Van Damme Sigh. Enjoy middle age, Ryu. It’s pretty damn impressive if you’ve been…

Link Retires From Adventuring, Takes Up…Wrestling
Oakland’s Hoodslam indie wrestling events, which we’ve actually covered before, outdid themselves over the weekend with theatrically combative tributes to not just Street Fighter, but Zelda as well.

Why Street Fighter Is More Than Just A Game
More Than A Game is a documentary that was a long time in the making. It chronicles the lead-up to (and events of) EVo 2011, and features interviews with some of the scene’s biggest names. It’s a good watch for fighting game fans, yeah, but also for anyone else, because it gets under the skin…

Organizing A Real-Life Street Fighter Tournament Would Be Painful
M. Bison, the host of Street Fighter’s fighting tournament has to realize that destroying Mercedes S-Class cars and temples full of elephants would be a bit expensive, even for a would-be world dictator.
