    Disastrous moments in actually licensed Street Fighter History

    Thursday, November 19, 2009, 1:58 PM [Street Fighter]

    While we're on the topic of crazy Street Fighter character appearances in Hong Kong movies, I present the above clip from Jackie Chan's 1993 City Hunter (which was a popular Japanese manga/anime series at the time). Two things that make this amazing:

    1. Jackie Chan as Chun-Li. Or E. Honda, can't decide which is crazier
    2. That this was actually done with Capcom approval (the company logo appears in the credits of the movie)

    Wordspit hadoukens backpackers ear's with Joystick Madness (The Music Video)

    Monday, November 9, 2009, 5:19 PM [Street Fighter]

    Hip hop loves Street Fighter. Case in point: Wordspit's video for his track "Joystick Madness" features tons of sampled SF sound effects and stage music, a line of brawlers at a laundromat MvC2 machine and the MC in question actually flinging a hadouken at one point. What really made me chuckle is the note underneath the video that says: "This is a video response to SSF4 Fight Club NYC Oct 23, 2009 T-Hawk - Juri & DeeJay Demoed." Served?

    B. Bird shoryukens C. Monster on new Jinx shirt

    Thursday, November 5, 2009, 6:30 PM [Street Fighter]

    I'm not embarassed to admit that I have more than a few shirts from geek clothier Jinx hanging in my closet. They've got a ton of gamer (both console and pen-'n-paper) and nurrrd flavored shirts, the kind that straight non-dorks will either chuckle about or nod politely while slowly inching away from you. Whilst perusing their site this morning -- cause I actually clicked through a banner ad (I know, crazy, right?) -- I stumbled across this rad and totally unlicensed shirt.

    Dear Jinx, send some love to the Unity staff and I promise* to the keep the Capcom lawyer demons off you for at least two weeks.

    While we're on the topic of gamer shirts, Kotaku randomly has a post up today entitled "I Clothe Gamers" that includes Jinx, Fangamer and Capcom-licensees (and all around good guys) Meatbun.
