I remember being a kid (maybe 6 or 7) and walking into the arcade and seeing a huge crowd of dudes huddled around a arcade machine. I didn’t see anyone actually playing the game…just watching the game intro…That was the first time I was introduced to Morrigan and Felicia. “Holy Crap!? can they do that?…

Street Fighter Gift #4 – Kickass females in gaming.

Up until Street Fighter II, you couldn’t really name any kickass females in gaming.  Well, besides Samus Aran in Metroid, but you only found that out at the end of the game!  Princess Peach?  She was always getting kidnapped by Bowser.  “Kidnapped”.  Right.

Remember the Dynasty/Samurai Warriors franchise? Sengoku Basara nobbed its mum.

Ah, Dynasty Warriors.  You took the formula of “1 dude versus a zillion peons + Lu Bu” and ran with it for a long time.  You then mixed it up a bit by throwing in katanas. Then your Japanese sister came out and showed us how the Japanese get down with your formula. Samurai Warriors…
