Hailey Bright from Coin-Op TV managed to coax some words from the notoriously camera-shy Seth Killian and some of the artists involved during the recent Street Fighter art exhibit in LA that we've talked about here a few times. Best bit is towards the end when Hailey put Seth (the person) on the spot about Seth (the SFIV boss).
Kotaku is full of win today, as usual. Bashcraft has worked some kind of internetz magic from Japan to get an interview with SoCal Street Fighter tourney legend Alex Valle. Alex is an old skool master of the game; I remember meeting him at one of the original Cannon Brother-organized Sunnyvale Golfland tournaments back in my original tenure at Capcom in the early 90s. Pick up from six-button knowledge from a man with waaaaaay more BP than you right here.
I love Kotaku, but I hate their Flash-based image galleries. Guys, you're just making me go through an extra step, quit it! They've got a quickie up about some killer customized Street Fighter Mighty Muggs created by one of their readers. Clearly, this dude needs to get on making a Chunster figure. Don't let Randy see these; he's got a certified Mighty Mugg obsession. Check out the shots over at their site,but don't you dare try to save them!
Gamespot snuggles up close with our favorite orange-flavored producer, Yoshinori Ono. Ono-san talks about his first gaming love, how he got his start in game development and much more!
Talk about hot! How awesomely awesome was the Street Fighter IV launch event in LA a few weeks back? So awesome that it's still making television news! Fox News in LA recently ran this piece on their actually teevee, but we've now got it here on the intarnetz for your enjoyment. See: Big Mex in full El Fuerte regalia! Taboo from Black Eyed Peas getting the crowd moving! Jess Villareal in her rad Chun-Li gear! Ono-san mildly cursing in English and then giggling! Celebs on the red carpet! Seth looking intense! And lots and lots and lots of SFIV action.
