Watch this guy fight his hand with his art

In this video called Maker vs Marker, watch a rotoscoped Akuma from Street Fighter-like dude take on the artist’s on hand in a fight to death. Made by YouTube artist Jonny Lawrence (Sweep the leg!), it’s a little like Super Smash Bros’ Master Hand vs Street Fighter. And it’s amazing. Just watch!

You’ll probably never play Darkstalkers 4

April 11, 2013 at 3:00 pm | 7 Comments

Capcom’s Darkstalkers is one of those odd franchises. Its inception came about to capitalise on the immense popularity of fighting games in the nineties, but failed to really catch on anywhere other than Asia. It has, however, since become a bit of a cult hit, and many gamers have been waiting patiently for Darkstalkers 4. They could be waiting forever.

Dressing up as your favourite video game/manga/anime/movie/my little pony character can be a fun and challenging experience. It doesn’t matter what you look like though, because putting some time and effort into a project pays off handsomely in the end. There’s nothing like good cosplay, but unfortunately, these following images are nothing like good cosplay.

Happy 25th Birthday Street Fighter!

August 30, 2012 at 11:30 am | 15 Comments

You know that you feel old, when you’re almost the same age as a revered fighting game franchise. Way back in 1987, along came a new title that tried to encapsulate fighting on a world stage, as a lone wolf took on the best of the best across all continents. A moderate success, it wasn’t until Street Fighter 2 arrived in 1991 that the fighting game boom really took off. So sit back, relax and have some pound cake, as we take a look at the last 25 years of the Capcom cashcow franchise.

Street Fighter’s Ono is helping with the Remember Me combat

August 21, 2012 at 1:00 pm | 3 Comments

Remember is an intriguing game so far, as the Gamescom reveal showed off a third-person action game with some fascinating elements to it, regarding the use of weaponised memories. Of course, you can’t build an entire game on that novel idea, as you need some other core mechanics to keep things familiar and safe. Which is where hand to hand fighting comes in, and seeing as how Capcom is involved with the game, they’ve decided to send the master pound cake deliverer himself, Yoshinori Ono, to lend a guiding fist to the project.

Tekken X Street Fighter might actually release within our lifetime

July 10, 2012 at 3:00 pm | 1 Comment

Street Fighter X Tekken is a masterpiece of the fighting game genre. It’s a game for fans and connoisseurs, a title filled with ideas and challenges, while bridging two iconic worlds. But it’s only half of the crossover equation. Capcom managed to throw down the gauntlet and create something fun and memorable, leaving Namco to find a way to incorporate the icons of Street Fighter into the world of Tekken.

And they just might be doing it quite soon.

Grab the popcorn, sit down and watch the greatest fighting tournament on earth, EVO 2012!

July 6, 2012 at 2:00 pm | 9 Comments

There aren’t too many tournaments out there which can really grab my attention. South Korea usually demonstrates their superior strategy on Starcraft with utmost ease every year, while racing games usually devolve into a who-can-crash-first spectacle.

Evo is different though. It’s fans fighting each other, with the matches themselves being tense affairs, able to turn at a moments notice. Here’s a look at some of the matches, and where to watch them, this year.

Dead or Alive 5 isn’t going to be unfair

June 20, 2012 at 10:45 am | 8 Comments

Team Ninja have been chatting to videogamer.com and have come out and promised that they won’t be released any new characters via DLC as they feel that this makes fighting games unfair and that it’s hard enough to balance the roster without DLC characters being brought into the discussion.

Capcom even milks it employees to death

June 12, 2012 at 1:00 pm | 9 Comments

The video game industry, while exciting and fun, is also a merciless one, as it pushes developers and producers to the breaking point at times. Street Fighter Producer Yoshinoro Ono is one such case of an overworked man reaching his limits, as he literally worked himself to the point of exhaustion several months back, resulting in a trip to the hospital and some time off.

You’d think that the loyal developer would be due a lighter workload and a welcome back cake when he returned, but Capcom had other ideas, as they threw him back into the deep end upon his return to the company.

The 25th Anniversary Street Fighter pack will Shoryuken your wallet

May 24, 2012 at 10:00 am | 19 Comments

This year sees the 25th anniversary of the seminal Street Fighter series. The classic fighting game franchise is one that’s close to my heart - and I can’t even fathom how many twenty and fifty cent pieces I’ve put in to Street Fighter arcade cabinets, or the innumerable hours I’ve lost to home versions of the game. Capcom’s celebrating the anniversary of one of its biggest cash cows with style - by releasing a Street Fighter collector’s set that has just about everything a Street fighter fan should own.

The staggering 15-disc collection contains new and old Street Fighter games, a collection of Street Fighter videos, 25 years worth of Street Fighter music, an art book - and more.

Lazygamer TV – Top five current-gen fighting games

March 29, 2012 at 3:30 pm | 12 Comments

If there is one pastime that brings people together, it most definitely is fighting. Bashing an opponent senseless is something that’s been with us since the dawn of time, from the ancient gladiatorial battles of Rome, through to the old-timey boxing matches of a more Victorian age, culminating in various sports where such techniques are put to use today.

But it’s a somewhat bloody spectacle that has transcended into different mediums, from its roots in open-air colosseums, through to stadiums and television, and into gaming itself. We recently had a look at the top five such games to grace consoles and PCs in our current generation.

Leeeeeeeeet’s get ready to RUUUUUUUUUUUUUMMMMMMMMMBBBBBBBBBBBBBLLLLLEEE!

Street Fighter X Tekken Review – Crossing Over with Ryu Edward

March 28, 2012 at 3:30 pm | 11 Comments

Hadouken meets iron fist in a crossover game that would have been highly unlikely years ago, as the worlds of Street Fighter and Tekken collide for a showdown that has had fans pondering for years over who would win if they had to face each other.

But can Street Fighter X Tekken prove itself to be a worthy competitor that satisfies fans from both genres with its ambitious scope, or was this a line that should never have been crossed?
