Five O’Clock Fan Art: Cammy

Dylan Duarte — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 00:00:01 +0000

This Cammy piece done in the style of a World War II propaganda poster is just swell. I love it even though I hate Street Fighter. And it has nothing to do with the fact that I’m completely awful at the game. It’s just a stupid dumb game for big fat idiots and if you’re good at it you’re a loser with too much free time because you don’t have a life.

Five O’Clock Fan Art is perfect for wrapping up the work day. You don’t want to think anymore, you just want to look at awesome things. And there’s nothing more awesome than a well crafted piece of videogame fan art. If you don’t agree, what the hell are you doing at a gaming blog?

Van Drell speaks espanol, I think.

Sam Naylor — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 21:15:23 +0000

A handful of moveset images have inadvertently revealed M. Bison, Akuma, Jin, and Ogre for Street Fighter X Tekken.

The images were spotted by Taiwanese blog Gamer. You can find the moveset images below, if you’re interested in seeing what the movesets actually are.

There’s not much more to it than that, unfortunately. Stay tuned to Ripten for more Street Fighter, Tekken, and related news as it happens.

Street Fighter x Tekken Gets Mega Man, Pac-Man as Sony Exclusives – Trailer

Todd Schlickbernd — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 15:00:36 +0000

Fighting games with console exclusive characters are slowly becoming a thing. Soul Calibur IV did the whole Star Wars things with Darth Vader on PS3 and Yoda on Xbox 360 (presumably due to their natural color schemes) and Mortal Kombat had Kratos exclusively on PS3.

This time around Street Fighter x Tekken is getting a rather healthy cache of Sony exclusives including Mega Man… Okay now that that’s sunk in, his character is based on the US version Mega Man 1 box art. Which means he’s really goofy looking, and frankly rather out of shape. His Namco counterpart will be Pac-Man… Alright, cool, but not just Pac-Man in all his spherical glory, but Pac-Man atop Mokujin, the wooden block character from previous Tekken games. These two inclusions, while awesome shout outs to Capcom and Namco fans, are also a little zany. Hopefully they’ll be worthwhile characters to play, but at least they won’t be alone in the exclusives realm, joining Cole from Infamous and Kuro/Toro (strange Sony cat things) as PS3 and PS Vita exclusives. What a world we live in.

Check out the announcement trailer below.

Five O’Clock Fan Art: Cammy’s Legendary Buns of Squeal

Dylan Duarte — Sat, 21 Jan 2012 00:00:36 +0000

The rustling noise over my shoulder tells me that our very own Dan Landis has begun the painstaking process of adding this tuckus to his legendary Top 10 Nicest Video Games Asses compilation. In fact, it’s probably already there racking up pageviews as we speak.

Five O’Clock Fan Art is perfect for wrapping up the work day. You don’t want to think anymore, you just want to look at awesome things. And there’s nothing more awesome than a well crafted piece of video game fan art. If you don’t agree, what the hell are you doing at a gaming blog?

PC Super Street Fighter IV Arcade Edition will be Updated Soon

Sam Naylor — Sat, 14 Jan 2012 18:02:47 +0000

The PC version of Super Street Fighter IV Arcade Edition will be getting a 2012 update at the end of February.

The patch itself will likely address concerns with character balance, as an update to this nature has already been released for the console versions. The Capcom blogger writes:

Our development team has been cracking the whip on this project, and are aiming to have the 2012 update ready for you all by the end of February. We will have additional updates in these upcoming weeks. so keep an eye on this space for more info.

Good to see continued support for the PC version, something we don’t often see with ports like this. Thanks, Capcom, you’re a peach.

Capcom Teases Big Plans for Street Fighter 25th Anniversary Commemoration

Drake Hess — Wed, 11 Jan 2012 18:34:06 +0000

August 30th of this year will mark the 25th anniversary of the Street Fighter franchise. It’s hard to believe that the now iconic fighting game first debuted in Japanese arcades on that date in 1987. To commemorate this anniversary, Capcom promises big things. Capcom Community Manager, Brett Elston, said the following on the Capcom-Unity site:

“For 25 years Street Fighter’s iconic hero has wandered the globe in search of the perfect battle, and to commemorate his quest – not to mention the millions of fans who’ve followed him every step of the way – we’re preparing some big plans for 2012 … The full details of this international celebration are still to come, but I can at least share the official logo that’ll emblazon all related products through the year.”

New PlayStation Advertisement “Michael” Is Brilliant

Aaron Alexander — Wed, 05 Oct 2011 14:05:26 +0000

Ever wondered what Cole from Infamous, or Nathan Drake from Uncharted would get up to when you’re not controlling them? Well nothing, they don’t exist.

If they did however, it would probably go a little something like this;

To Michael! To Michael! To Michael!

Five O’Clock Fan Art: Biker Akuma

Dylan Duarte — Tue, 27 Sep 2011 00:00:26 +0000

I’m not a big Street Fighter fan, and I normally like my fan art much stranger than this, but I’ll be hadoukened if this isn’t a fantastic bit of talent.

nJoo’s name is easy for me to remember. I like that.

Five O’Clock Fan Art: Street Fighter Dinos

Dylan Duarte — Thu, 11 Aug 2011 00:00:52 +0000

I wish there were a bigger version of this picture, but alas there is not. This was too great not to post. Street fightin’ dinos. What a concept. If I saw dinosaurs engaged in a street fight, I would just kill myself, because it would all be downhill from there.

WarnerC must be some sort of national treasure in El Salvador.

Five O’Clock Fan Art: Electric Honda

Dylan Duarte — Thu, 21 Jul 2011 00:00:23 +0000

I like Street Fighter, at least more so than other fighting games. I also like E. Honda, his hundred hands, and their slapping. But I love Electric Honda, more than I like those other things.

NIW is a man with some good ideas.

Five O’Clock Fan Art: Sesame Street Fighter

Dylan Duarte — Tue, 19 Jul 2011 00:00:47 +0000

I would be so much more screwed than I already am if Street Fighter were like this when I was growing up.

Pop Monkey is the best kind of monkey.

Aaron Alexander — Fri, 15 Jul 2011 08:23:54 +0000

Do you like cryptic trailers? If so click back on your browser, this one’s fairly obvious. It’s a teaser trailer for the next character being added to Street Fighter X Tekken’s line-up. Guess what? It’s Steve Fox. It’s a good addition, as Balrog Vs Steve matches would just make sense. Watch below;

Five O’Clock Fan Art: Mecha Bison

Dylan Duarte — Thu, 30 Jun 2011 00:00:47 +0000

While I’m not a big fighting game fan, the Street Fighter series will always hold a special place in my heart for nostalgia reasons. Street Fighter 2 was a big part of my childhood and I wouldn’t change it for the world. Unless I could make Bison a robot.

I sure don’t know how to pronounce ahbiasaaja, but he’s some sort of genius.

Capcom iPhone Game Sale: 99 Cents a Pop

Sam Naylor — Mon, 20 Jun 2011 19:22:39 +0000

Capcom have discounted a handful of iOS games to $0.99 today. Perhaps you can afford them now.

Here’s the full list:

Street Fighter IV $0.99
Resident Evil Mercenaries Vs $0.99
Dead Rising Mobile $0.99
Devil May Cry 4 refrain $0.99

At prices like that, it’s a wonder why these things are so popular at the moment. Considering most DS games, which cost more than ten times the normal price of these games, are in most cases just as good as these, it’s clear why this market is taking off.

Five O’Clock Fan Art: Street Fighter vs Tekken

Dylan Duarte — Fri, 13 May 2011 00:00:58 +0000

As someone who doesn’t give a Ryu’s ass about fighting games, this picture doesn’t do much for me. However, I can appreciate its artistic merit, and I understand that you people might get a kick out of it. On a side note, I do like Mortal Kombat, but that game is about murder, not fighting.

Jeffrey Cruz is the lastscionz, and all he does is fancy artwork. Save the world, man! And don’t forget seeso2d, who lastscionz collaborated with.

Registration Opens for SS 2K11 – Australia’s Largest Fighting Tournament

Bryce Wilson — Sun, 24 Apr 2011 18:44:41 +0000

The biggest fighting tournament Australia has ever seen is getting closer and closer, and pre-registration for the event has started, allowing players to both save some cash and save their spots.

In just under two months, some of both Australia and the worlds best players will collide in what is set to be a massive tournament.

I was lucky enough to attend the event last year, and the great community and atmosphere made it something I’d recommend for every gamer to check out, whether you’re into Street Fighter or any fighting games for that matter.
