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…

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…

Who Should Have Been Street Fighter’s Latest Character?
You can’t please everyone, especially on the internet, so the people at OutsideXbox have offered up 9 suggestions for characters that should have been the latest addition to Ultra Street Fighter IV, instead of “Cammy with a mask”.

The Newest Street Fighter Character Is…
The fifth and final new fighter to be added to the upcoming Ultra Street Fighter IV will be Decapre. She’s new, while also being not new. It’s weird. She’s not a new character, having first appeared briefly in Street Fighter Alpha 3 as an NPC (which you can see in the intro to the video…

Interviewing Chun-Li is Awkward
Criticising Chun-Li’s outfit is probably not the way one should start an interview with her. But here’s Pete Holmes, making every possible mistake in the next installment of his Street Fighter series. He’s lucky he got away with it without getting Lightning kicked in the face. And that his subject wasn’t Cammy. Street Fighter Red…

Vega From Street Fighter is Useless Without His Claw
Pete Holmes is back with his latest series, portraying characters from Street Fighter as complete idiots, and this time it’s Vega’s turn. I didn’t know he was such a cry-baby! Street Fighter Red Tape: Vega [Pete Holmes, YouTube] To contact the author of this post, write to: [email protected]

Does Your Insurance Cover Street Fighter Characters?
I’ll tell you what. When I park my car, the thing I fear most isn’t theft, careless drives, or hazardous weather. It’s Ryu. Courtesy of Kotaku reader Kazegami_1, this commercial for Anadolu Sigorta, one of Turkey’s largest insurance companies, shows the iconic fighting game character making quick work of a sedan in a real-life bonus…

Street Fighter‘s Ryu Has No Idea What He’s Saying
Now that he’s finished harassing the X-Men, Pete Holmes takes his one-man battle against fictional characters to the streets. What does the Ryu say? Fans of Capcom’s storied fighting franchise will no doubt have used Google — as I just did — to figure out that Ryu is saying something along the lines of “Tatsumaki…

Classic Video Games as Romance Novels
The fine folks over at Shutterstock and illustrator Echo Chernik teamed up for Valentine’s Day, and imagined what romantic pulp fiction would look like with video game characters. Here’s The Legend of Zelda, Street Fighter, Super Mario, Pac Man and A**hole dog from Duck Hunt, appearing in a romantic novel for the first time. Head…

Kotaku EastCat Heads Make Gay Anime Love Scene Hilarious
Late last year, the people over at Manga Entertainment started putting out a series of animated shorts where they take a clip of an anime and replace the characters’ heads (and sometimes bodies) with those of cats.
