All men may be created equal, maybe, but all Street Fighter IV characters? Nunh unh. No fighting game can ever have totally balanced characters, and Street Fighter IV is no exception. So who owns/sucks? Let’s. Find. Out. Before we start, though, a little house-keeping. We saw one of these charts last year, yes, but that…
Arcade sticks are a necessity for proper fighting action on a console, but you know what? Arcade sticks are expensive. Now Tupperware, it’s a lot easier to get your hands on some Tupperware. And once you’ve got hold of some, get hold of some arcade stick components (OK, that last bit’s probably a bit harder)…
Most of you reading this are not DJs. Those who are, this is for you, because Capcom have just released the The Street Fighter II Turbo Battle Vinyl. What it isn’t: a spoken-word version of the Raul Julia/Kylie Minogue movie. What it is: a record that, on side A, has a ton of Street Fighter…
We’ve seen this statue of Street Fighter Cammy before — it’s old. But we haven’t seen what this amazing statue is able to do. That’s new. This figure was released way, way back in 2005. And it’s taken four years for someone to point out this AMAZINGLY creepy floating Cammy head. Don’t close your eyes.…
Like the look of those Capcom pre-paid debit cards? You may want to take a finer look at the small print before you go rushing in and sign up for one. Sure, it’d be neat to whip out a card with Ryu or Chris Redfield’s mug on it while haggling over the counter at your…
Many games have left their mark on popular culture as a whole, but few have left one quite like Street Fighter has. Which is probably why the series is getting its own art exhibition. Put on by, yes, Capcom, the exhibition – called Jab Strong Fierce – will feature dozens of artists, appearing both individuals…
The latest Street Fighter movie sucks. No doubt about it. But do you think Capcom give a damn about the quality of the movie? They might, but they care more about the money. Speaking with GameDaily, Capcom PR man Chris Kramer says in response to haters of the current Chun-Li flick: Critics were unkind to…
Well, you can. It’s up for sale/auction on eBay right now, looks amazing and best of all, all proceeds go to charity. If you were at the Street Fighter IV launch party in LA a few weeks back, you will have seen this cabinet – designed by the creative hivemind at Meat Bun – looking…
Ashcraft has seen the new Street Fighter movie, The Legend of Chun-Li. Didn’t like it much. But what do film critics think of the flick, starring Kristin Kreuk, Chris Klein & Michael Clarke Duncan? They are, unsurprisingly, not fans. The film currently has a Metacritic rating of 21 (out of a possible 100), while even…
Well, actress Kristen Kreuk wasn’t hired to do Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li for her gaming skills, but for her acting. Shocking, we know. “I’ve only played Street Fighter once,” she told The Japan Times. “Growing up, I did watch my friends play it.” Instead, she based her interpretation of the character on what…
With two games released since Christmas, Street Fighter is on fire. The kids at SOTA toys have probably taken it a bit too far, though, with this burning Ken statue. Not only does it look like he’s wearing a fluffy, fire-coloured mink coat, but he also looks like a 12 year-old girl wearing a moppish…
You got issues with Street Fighter IV? Backbone’s David Sirlin – one of the designers who worked on Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix – got issues with Street Fighter IV. Writing on his own blog, Sirlin takes objection to everyone banging on and on about how easy and accessible Street Fighter IV is:…
://capcom-unity.com/s-kill/blog/2009/02/25/sfiv_alt_costumes_beauty_pack_is_out_now&feature=player_embedded If you’re bored with Street Fighter IV already, Capcom are on hand to ensure that, for 300 MS Points, you can squeeze a few more minutes out of it. Looking at Cammy’s ass. Yes, the Femme Fatale pack is now ready for download (on 360, with PS3 sure to follow on Thursday), and includes…
This weekend, Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li opens in movie theaters. This calls for a Japanese pop group to dress up like Chun-Li! Ten members of 48 member idol group AKB48 showed up at a Tokyo press event today dressed up in Chun-Li garb and wearing shiny black tights. For those keeping score: The…
Britain’s Zak Bennett entered the record books last week, setting a Guinness World Records…record for most consecutive wins in Street Fighter IV. And it sounds like it took him all day to do it. Bennett’s first attempt at the record – which we guess is new for the book’s gamers edition, since no mention of…
Mostly-impressive press release from Capcom Japan just arrived. Street Fighter IV is out, and they’re excited to let us know that they’ve shipped two million copies of the game. That doesn’t mean two million copies have been sold through to a customer, it just means two million copies have been shipped from Capcom’s warehouses. Though…
Street Fighter is fun, economics, not fun. But turning Street Fighter into Wall Street Fighter? With M. Lynch vs Fannie Mae? Bravo, CBFresh, you’ve somehow pulled this off.
Do you still hold high hopes for the Street Fighter movie? Really? This might dash them a touch. Turns out the movie won’t be screened for film critics. Which is rarely a good thing. Rather than open the film up for a potential savaging from reviewers, Fox have decided that critics can get in line…
Europe, your long wait is OVER. After languishing on the sidelines for what must have felt like an eternity, Capcom have finally announced that Street Fighter II HD will be out on PS3 this week. So come February 19 – which by the time you’re reading this, is probably today – you can get your…
Kristin Kreuk is playing Chun-Li in the upcoming Street Fighter movie. With the movie nearing release, she’s stuck on promotional press junkets. Today, she speaks with Famitsu about the difference between her and Chun-Li. “I think the most obvious differences lie in the physical appearance of the character”, she says in a video interview (link…
