We Can Only Hope Next-Gen Street Fighter Looks This Good

Loraine Howard III doesn’t just have the best name of any artist we’ve featured here on our concept art spotlight, he also has some of the most impressive 3D work, headlined by the incredible Balrog you see up top. If next-gen pants don’t look that good I’ll be very disappointed. Loraine has previously worked with…

Now THIS is How You Celebrate a Game’s Anniversary

It’s been really disappointing in the last few years watching companies like Nintendo do so little to really commemorate significant anniversaries in the life of beloved game franchises. Mario got a tiny little extras disc while Zelda got even less. Capcom, though, seem to know what long-time fans are looking for with their anniversaries, that…

Chun-Li: Who Wore It Best?

As far as video game characters get, few are as iconic as Street Fighter‘s Chun-Li. She’s not only a player favorite, but also a fan one. Many a cosplayer has donned her qipao. But who wore it best? Let’s find out. In the above gallery, there’s a smattering of Chun-Li cosplay. It’s a small sampling.…

Announcing Street Fighter II: Hyper Portal Gun Edition

As a rule, Portal guns don’t make everything better. But they can certainly liven up a round of Street Fighter II. Poor Blanka. Super Street Fighter II with a Portal Gun [YouTube, via Gamefreaks]

Capcom Tries to Fix Street Fighter X Tekken, Breaks it Instead

In updating the console versions of Street Fighter X Tekken to fix a few bugs, Capcom has accidentally introduced a new one, which completely breaks the game. Whoops. Anyone updating to 1.04 and using Rolento’s knife to attack a projectile will find that the results are not exactly desirable, in that it locks the game…

A Time-Lapsed Look At One Lovely Street Fighter Mural

Check out this pretty video of a few artists painting a giant Street Fighter mural at their local sushi shop. It’s neat how a wall can transform from a bunch of amorphous smudges to one hell of a drawing. Street Fighter Mural in Time Lapse [YouTube]

The Dorkly Weekly: Video Game Real Estate Agents Have it Rough

Filled with rusty meet hooks, jumping snakes, and the odd retractable bridge over a pit of bubbling lava, video game real estate isn’t exactly burning up the market. Well, in some cases it is, but only literally. Bowser’s castle from Super Mario Bros. isn’t a safe place to raise a family, but a good real…

My, Chun-Li, You Look Different

This isn’t the Chun-Li I remember! But it doesn’t matter much because look how awesome that animation is. I can watch her loop around for that hit too many times than is normal. Or at least until I fall over from dizziness. That, or someone yells at me to go back to work and stop…

Quality Time With The Classic Video Game Characters You’d Switch Teams For

Yesterday on #Speakup, commenter chadoban asked which video game characters we’d all go gay (or straight) for.

Place them on your desktop,…

Ask For Baby Hadouken GIF, And Ye Shall Receive

The video we posted of a cute, giggling baby getting knocked out by his father’s hadouken was too adorable to not get the GIF treatment. You can thank our own Chris Person for the GIF creation. And now you can watch the baby fall over from a Street Fighter move on loop.

Guns, Pretty Ladies & Street Fighters

Artist Arnold Tsang worked on APB before it died and was unceremoniously brought back. He’s also, as Capcom fans may soon recognise, part of the Udon crew, who are unrelenting in their ability to release coffee table books full of awesome Street Fighter art. Right now, he’s working at Blizzard. And right now, we’re going…

In Defense of the Infinite Combo, Which Only Ruins Street Fighter Matches Sometimes

If I were to punch you in the stomach and you could punch me back, we’d call that a fair fight. (No offense, but hopefully I’d win.) If I could punch you again and again a dozen or more times in a row and you couldn’t stop me—you literally could not raise your hands to…

The Cutest Street Fighter Tournament Ever

Forget all the competitive, professional tournaments. This is the tournament I want to watch.

Japanese Porn Is Overdosing on Video Games and Anime

If something exists, then, yes, there is a dirty movie of it. Video games and anime exist, so, yes, there are dirty movies of them. Japan just seems to have more of them. Sure, the West has its own video game porn parodies. Blue movie versions of World of Warcraft, Left 4 Dead, and Tomb…

When You Devote Yourself to Chun-Li

Music has its Elvis impersonators, but video games? Video games have cosplayers, but there’s a difference in the nuance. “Cosplay” implies an element of play—as though you are going from outfit to outfit. Not this lady. This lady is Elin Kuzunoha, and while she’s cosplayed as characters from One Piece and Final Fantasy, there is…
