A Study in Fail: OG Street Fighter II Toys

May 9th, 2008 Seth Killian

Wow. Just… wow. I think the guy cosplaying Guile is the same guy they got to do M. Bison. I did like it when the live action Honda stomps Guile.

Free shirt to anyone who can send me in a picture with them and the Street Fighter vehicles (two shirts for the “Beast Blaster”!).





Hammer + Deion + Jean-Claude = Win

April 10th, 2008 Seth Killian


It is time to think about Deion Sanders again. “Straight To My Feet” brings you a train-wreck collision of 1994’s most quickly fading b-listers with the cast (can’t properly call them “stars”) of Street Fighter: The Movie.

The concept: take the performers, then sort of randomly mash them in with the actors. Also we’ll have have surprising cuts to unrelated scenes from the movie. You know, to tie it in. Rather than be clever, we’ll just throw them all into a night club. The night club has really bad bouncers that somehow didn’t catch the giant set of knives sticking off Vega’s hand when they patted him down. Also the night club has a sumo ring.

Hm. Now I feel like I kind of want to go to this club, which is in my face since I started out intending to make fun of it.

Gotta say, while Hammer was never shy about lending himself to various commercial interests (and is currently into trading hair-care tips with gadabout venture capitalists), the man was one hell of a performer. Don’t miss the cameo from everyone’s favorite, Captain Sawada.





Ride the Lightning, Bison

As anyone alive during the 90s knew, all things “Virtual” are awesome.

Behold… the Street Fighter Virtual Reality Ride! Apparently this attrocity actually haunted Universal Citywalk about 10 years ago.

Remember: when the chips are down, double fireball to the groin is a pretty solid strategy. Thanks Jared!





From the Department of Bad Ideas: DIY Fireballs

March 24th, 2008 Seth Killian


Not quite as impressive as “Hadoken Pete,” but maybe just the ticket for that Ryu and Ken costume that’s just not cutting it.

Though the video is fine, shooting fireballs is probably not safe for work or home, unless your job is crushing fools in martial arts tournaments.
