Super Street Kineda II

Had a chance to check out Kineda’s SF Hyper Collection yet? It’s signature Kineda art, plus you’re favorite Street Fighter II characters. The only thing that can top that is if they made more tee’s with SF4 characters… *cough, cough CODY…ahem. I’m not big on graphic tee’s anymore, not since 05/06 or so but, Looking…

Fighters of Cap?…OMG!

I know i’m probably late to this but the word on the street is that Capcom trademarked the title ‘Fighters of Capcom‘.

There was that one cyborg female in the Guardian Legend, but other…

Street Fighter Gift #3 – Yoko Shimomura’s music.

Within a few seconds of hearing Ryu’s theme music, you know that some shit’s gonna go down.  Hell, hearing any one of the Street Fighters’ theme music will get you pumped. The music for all the original Street Fighter II characters came from Yoko Shimomura, who was then a fresh graduate from Osaka College Music…

(7 gifts from the Street Fighter franchise) Guile….just Guile.

Street Fighter week continues unabated at “Strawberry Scented Burnout”.  At the end of each day I’m going to list 7 things that the Street Fighter franchise has given to us, its children bathed in arcade light and stale pizza from Chuck E. Cheese’s. Since this is the first day I figured that I should go…

Happy Birthday Street Fighter!

We’ve come a long way, haven’t we?  Street Fighter, the ubiquitous 2d fighting game has now turned 25 today.  Happy birthday, Street Fighter!! And big congrats to Capcom and Ono-sensei for making such a wonderful fighting game. The franchise itself has gone through numerous twists and turns to get to where they are today.  Mixing…
