Blanka Frolics With Livestock In Flock

In case wrangling livestock with a UFO wasn’t enough reason to buy Capcom’s Flock, how about a cameo by everyone’s favorite green-skinned electrified Street Fighter? In this cross-over to end all cross-overs, Blanka makes a special appearance in the UFO livestock puzzler Flock, doing what he does best – rolling into a ball and falling…

Like Muppet Babies, Only For Street Fighter

There was a key hook for classic TV series Muppet Babies. They were Muppets, but they were babies. Can the same formula work for Street Fighter? I’d say yes. Because there’s something strangely adorable about Akuma throwing a tanty. The painting’s by Kei Acedera (who has done art & design work for, among others, Disney)…

Biggest Street Fighter Tourney EVER: The Finals

Like we said, the Street Fighter IV National Tournament is the biggest SFIV tournament ever (not hard, seeing as its sponsored by GameStop). And this month, it reaches the business end, with the finals. On April 18 in San Francisco, the 16 best Street Fighters in the United States will converge on the Fort Mason…

360 Arcade Stick Cuts The Cord

We know. You’re a fighting game pro. Can’t spare the time to blink while fighting, let alone juggle cords. Which is why you may want to take a look at Dream Arcades’ wireless 360 stick. It’s a chunky, sturdy arcade stick, with the addition of being, well, cordless. The fact it’s wireless is a pro.…

An Updated List Of The Best, And Worst, Street Fighter IV Characters

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…

Keep Your Hadoukens Crisp & Fresh With Tupperware Arcade Sticks

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)…

Street Fighter For Crate Diggers

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…

Floating Cammy Head Is Here To Frighten You

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.…

Capcom Debit Cards Tiger Uppercut You With Bank Fees

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…

Street Fighter Super Hyper Art Exhibition Edition

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…

Why Capcom Don’t Care If The Street Fighter Movie Sucks

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…

So What Do Critics Think Of The Street Fighter Movie?

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…

Chun-Li Movie Actress Has Only Played “Street Fighter” Once

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…

Large, Girly Ken Statue Is On Fire

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…

British Kid Sets Street Fighter World Record

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.
