Japanese Video DJ (I can't decide whether "VJ" is cooler, or much, much less cool sounding) Bonsajo has hooked up his Steel Battalion controller to run his light and video show.  V. rad!

A little two-fer of lingering Halloween fun...

First up is the winner of the Capcom pumpkin-carving contest (our Mega Man pumpkin came in 3rd), which stole the show with its outstanding lighting effects.  You've got Dark Void's Will (in helmet) up front, and the illuminificated DV logo shining out the back.

It was just plain purdy, and carved by Brian, the easily-found Waldo pictured on the right. 

Next is one of our favorite Capcom costumes this year.  It didn't make it into our costume contest, but in truth, this is less a costume than a lifestyle, and... wow.  Just wow:

--Crazy beard and mohawk?  Check. 

--Banana-hammock?  Check. 

--Bear-wrestling scars?  Check. 

--Appropriately shaved chest-hair?  Double-check. 

In short, some of the finest, most terrifying Zangief cosplay on record. Thanks to Shana and Danny for the pix!

It's a gallery of pics from inside (and outside) of the Capcom Fight Club, featuring Tatsunoko Vs Capcom, MVC2, and a "Dash" of Super Street Fighter IV (see what I did there?). 

We were only able to give a handful of people a chance to go hands-on with SSFIV, though we'll correct that with plenty more SSFIV goodness to share as the Fight Club train rolls into new cities.   In the meantime, enjoy pics of people milling around excitedly, crushing/getting crushed, me sweating, Francis mural-ing, and more.

UPDATE 5: We are FULL! Apologies if you did not get in, but there will be a next time!

Wanna throw down at the NYC Capcom Fight Club? 

In the TvC: Ultimate All-Stars department, it's the world's first chance to go hands-on with Mega Man Zero and Joe the Condor, plus Tekkaman Blade, Frank West, and all your rebalanced returning TvC favorites.  On the Super SFIV tip, it's an exclusive taste of Juri, T. Hawk, and Dee Jay.

Sign up now--hotness is guaranteed.

Hey Ladies!  If you're looking for love and are into bookish Street Fighter guys, and are in the UK, you're in luck! Did I mention he's currently "between homes"?  Well, at least you know he's honest:

Hit jump, punch, block, jump, forward, punch, kick to activate my flaming ninja fists of doom. Dork, 34 (M), really hoping to find a nice woman for whom 'enjoying the latest Mark Greif piece in the LRB' is a valid (and attractive) Street Fighter character ability. Failing that, any of you will do. Also looking for a flat to rent in Wimbledon.

If he somehow doesn't score with a SF-centric personals ad in the London Review of Books, maybe he should try putting in a real super combo command next time.

PS- haha, no it's not MY personal ad (that would be here).
