If The Street Fighter Cast Was Gender-Swapped…

Take the Street Fighter crew, and flip the genders around. What do you get? Badassery, that’s what.

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.

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.

In an interview with VG247, Capcom producer Tomoaki Ayano explained that making each numeric entry in the Street Fighter series takes a long time.
