Sir, Your Street Fighter Collection Is An Inspiration To Us All

I love people who only collect one type of video game. Just collecting games doesn’t have quiet the same dash of mad obsessiveness as someone who specialises in a single series.

Show Us Your Favorite Fighting Game Ultras and Supers

One thing I can’t help but admire about fighting games is how well the genre uses moves and kinetics for characterization: sure, not every game has a fantastic story attached to it, but that doesn’t mean a fighting game can’t have well-defined, unique characters, you know? You don’t need hours of exposition to understand characters…

Chun Li from Street Fighter Is Jealous. Of Everyone.

Take an assortment of cheesy embarrassment videos from all over the internet. Add in the blistering attacks of Street Fighter’s Chun Li. Stir well. Laugh heartily.

Homeless Man Is A Walking Street Fighter Wiki

Meet Emanuel. This homeless gentleman is going to talk about one thing today: Street Fighter Art director Ken Lin filmed this interview back in 2010, but recently located it on a hard drive.

An Outstanding All-Vocal Cover Of Ken’s Theme From Street Fighter II

I always did think Ken was the coolest. Sure, Ryu is the iconic Street Fighter character. But Ken wore RED, man. This new video from Smooth McGroove is just as smooth, groovy, beardy and cat-adjacent as his past stuff. I could listen to this dude sing all day.

Street Fighter Player Wins Great Match at EVO With Unpopular Character

In a sea of Akumas and fireballs during this year’s EVO, any change-up in character selection was welcome.

Thank god it did, because Infiltration pulling out Hakan to go up…

The Coolest Exclusive Goodies Of Comic-Con 2013

Completely arbitrary headline alert! This is a list of what I think are the hottest, mostly video game-themed toys and books of next week’s San Diego Comic-Con, based on years spent developing tastes and whims specifically geared towards making me spend entirely too much money on colorful pieces of plastic. There are so many excellent…

Blanka Is A Troll

Goddammit, Blanka. Look at him go on his public rampages, totally unapologetically. Causing all sorts of havoc! I’m definitely the sort of person to laugh at this kind of slapstick humor, but it’s even more golden with Blanka involved.
