276-Hit Combo In Street Fighter IV
Above is the culmination of a 276-hit, 1076-damage combo in Street Fighter. Watch video of the combo below: Chun Li’s infinites are a perfect place to start but there’s one major problem. As they only work against crouching characters, after the opponent is stunned (and they reset into standing) you won’t be able to use…

Street Fighter‘s Guile Wasn’t Really In The Military
Pete Holmes has pointed out several issues with the tactics other Street Fighter characters use, but there was no need to even go that far with one look at Guile’s military qualifications. One might wonder what war Guile could have fought in, and the answer is apparently “he didn’t.” I went to double check this…

A Street Fighter Series That Might Not Suck
Aside from a few decent anime movies, Street Fighter’s theatrical history is one to forget. Good thing this isn’t a movie, then. Street Fighter: Assassin’s Fist is an upcoming webseries that’ll run on Machinima, which is a “coming of age” story about Ryu and Ken. Sure, there’s a certain degree of corny you can’t escape…

Someone Wrote A Book About Street Fighter‘s Greatest Match

In the decade since Daigo Umehara and Justin Wong met in a fateful match of Street Fighter III: Third Strike, EVO Moment 37 has become the stuff of legend. Now there’s a book about it.

Street Fighter‘s Ken Cut From The Tournament For Obvious Reasons
With Ryu making the roster despite serious translation issues, there’s absolutely no use for Ken in Pete Holmes’ Street Fighter tournament. Dhalsim‘s out. Vega is out. Chun-Li has been creeped on and asked to put on pants. So far this is looking like a very Ryu-centric tournament Pete Holmes is putting together. I’m having a…

Mike Tyson Finally Meets Street Fighter, Punches Dudes In The Face
Considering he had a character in the game – Balrog – based on him, it’s a wonder it’s taken someone this long to bring the worlds of Mike Tyson and Street Fighter together. It takes a while to warm up, but once he really starts swinging, it really gets going. Balrog Highlight (Mike Tyson Street…

Street Fighter II Characters Are Very Sorry for Screwing Up
What did Ryu do? Why is he grovelling? Because of a new series of collectible figurines. As noted by Twitter user Bruce Hsiang, the series is called “Dogeza Strap” (土下座ストラップ), and the straps are for your smartphone or portable game devices. “Dogeza” (土下座) is a type of bowing that’s typically reserved for bowing before incredibly…

Street Fighter‘s Dhalsim Should Lose Those Baby Skulls
In the real world, Dhalsim would have been arrested a long time ago with those skulls around his neck, as the latest Pete Holmes ‘Red Tape’ sketch points out. I hope there’ll be a video with a raging Blanka, because so far these sketches put every single Street Fighter character to shame. Street Fighter Red…

Seven Things You Might Not Know About Street Fighter
Now that we know who the final character in the upcoming Ultra Street Fighter IV is, it seems like a great time to look back on the franchise. Since the franchise is almost 27 years old (!), there’s a ton of trivia to reminisce about. This video by DYKGaming is jam packed with all sorts…
