In this new comedy short from Blinky Productions (currently developing the new "Final Fight" feature film), I get to play Zangief once again prior to my eventual portrayal of him in the forthcoming "Street Fighter Reunion" spin-off of SF:TLY.
Here, Zangief is coaching Brimstone in preparation for his bout with, according to The Red Cyclone, a "brutal and bloodthirsty opponent".
For those of you who haven't seen it, the outcome is pretty ugly.
Directed by Chris R. Notarile and also starring Kim Santiago.
Hope you can join us on Wednesday, April 8th, at 7:00 PM ET (USA). Zangief and I (yes, both of us) will be appearing together on Jerry Butler's live call-in show. As it's radio, both my mighty Russian Street Fighter alter ego and I will be on hand to talk about "Street Fighter: TLY", "Street Fighter Reunion" and talk to you live. In case you've missed the announcement elsewhere, here it is again, below, with all the information.

I am so very grateful to have been invited to Street Fighter Club and in my old hometown, too!
By sheer coincidence, as were were approaching the venue in the cab, I pointed out the window to my companions and hosts from Street Fighter Devotion to show them the actual entrance to the Zaragoza Gym where the big Street Fighter Tournament was shot for SF:TLY. That gated entrance is where Ryu was seen exiting to chase E. Honda down the street. This was just a few blocks from, and on the same street as, the Street Fighter Club event!
I just can't thank enough the REALLY groovy people at Capcom (it's okay; I'm a boomer so I can say "groovy") for giving their fans a first crack at Street Fighter IV! It is awesome on so many levels (and I don't mean just playing levels)! The graphics and animation are out of this world and the visual motif of paint and ink are stunning to look at! Easily the best Street Fighter yet!
I've also got to be the luckiest Street Fighter alive to have gotten to meet so many dynamite SF fans in person in one place! I was treated with such an outpouring of love and I feel absolutely the same in return!
Street Fighter fans are, hands down, among the coolest people in the world and what an honor it is to meet you!
Spinning Piledriving hugs and much, much, love and respect to each and every one of you!
