French artist Bastien Vives has taken the cast of the Street Fighter series and reworked them. Most of them are now a different gender. Others are the same gender, they’re just…looking at the world in a new way. Guile, for example, is now a lady with a much more fashionable haircut. Dee Jay is also…

One Valid Excuse For Sucking At Fighting Games
Do you suck at fighting games? So does Kotaku commenter Masterage, but he actually has a valid excuse. Feel free to borrow it! I love fighters, but they don’t love me.

The Most Disgusting Version Of Doom You’ll Ever See
This stop-motion video starts off innocently enough, but soon the cute Street Fighter homage and sneaker-based racing give way to a version of id Software’s classic Doom made entirely out of raw meat.

Come And Play, Everything’s A-KO
Street Fighter and Sesame Street? Mario and Sesame Street worked just fine, so sure, why the hell not. These Sesame Street x Street Fighter designs are available on redbubble, where you can get them as shirts, hoodies or, if you’re a little short on cash, $2.50 stickers.

The Marvel Vs. Capcom 3 models were in fine form last week during Capcom’s Fight Club in Atlanta, Georgia, which I missed due to being deathly ill. See more of what I didn’t see at Capcom Unity Gameface is a photographic celebration of the people who make, play and love video games.

Lovely Blanka, Meter Maid
You really don’t want to let the meter expire in a town where they employ World Warriors as meter maids. The constant fighting has to come to an end sometime, and then what will Street Fighter’s World Warriors do? Dorkly’s idea is solid enough, though most municipalities would rather lose a buck or two in…

This Street Fighter IV Combo Pays 40 Cents Per Input
Executing a 125-input combo in Street Fighter IV seems like a challenge that should pay more than $50. Nonetheless, it’s out there, and if you can do it, a legal tender picture of Ulysses S. Grant is yours. This combo spans 125 button inputs, 126 hits and 661 damage. Reproduce it by hand – without…

Street Fighter vs The Simpsons
Dean Fraser’s Springfield Punx website – where the artist renders celebrities and famous characters as if they’d appeared in The Simpsons – has long been a favourite internet time-waster. Especially now there’s game characters on it. We’re surprised it’s taken Dean this long to start on the world of video games, but we’re not complaining,…

Mario vs. Ken: Round 2
In round one of Machnima’s imagined crossover throwdown, Mario got the better of Ken. Now it’s time for round two. If this is anything like exhibition tennis, Mario tanks the second set, and they fight it out for keeps in round three. But throwing Luigi into that behind-the-back hadouken is a nice touch. Mario vs.…
