Street Fighter fan James couldn’t have asked for a better birthday gift than this custom arcade cabinet. Basically, a group of friends got together and spent approximately 4.5-hours over 5 days building it. Click here for first picture in gallery.
A hundred nails were hammered into the handsawed wood panels. A FightStick and SFIV artwork fleshed out the cabinet.

What sets this Street Fighter 4 arcade stick on eBay apart from its MadCatz and Hori counterparts, is that it’s the only wireless-enabled controller of the bunch. The seller reports that it’s “not some duct tape hack job, quality HAPP parts, scratch resistant plexiglass, and a strong durable aluminum casing [were used].” Video after the break. Auction page.
I soldered every connection, and cut every hole by hand to the exact measurements and button layout taken from an actual Street Fighter arcade machine. I even integrated a rechargeable battery pack that comes with a USB cable that will charge the battery without any opening of the casing, just Plug-and-Play.

It’s that time again, time for yet another graphics comparison. This time, GT pits the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 versions of Street Fighter 4 against each other to see which reigns supreme. Video after the break.
You could pick up your very own custom Street Fighter arcade cabinet on eBay for less than $1000, possibly. The seller is also offering “a small handful of custom Street Fighter IV cabinets (filled with genuine SFIV boards).” Auction page.
These aren’t some weird scam knock-offs. The Capcom-sanctioned cabinets made their public debut at a recent SFIV event.
According to CB Fresh, Wall Street Fighter 4 takes “Street Fighter to the next level — in these hard economic times, only one will survive.” Continue reading to watch.

Finally, Street Fighter 4 is now available, but “is this new iteration of the biggest name in fighting games a bust or a brawl?” Product page. Continue reading for the full video review.
In this new Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li teaser, “star Kirsten Kreuk beats up some random guys you wouldn’t want to run into in a dark alley.” Continue reading to watch.
The wire work is nice enough, I suppose, but Chun-Li is still nearly taken out by some seriously generic opponents.

If a movie studio decides to followup on Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li, this is how Guile should look. The artist “tried to incorporate a lot of it into this [and] did research on AirForce Majors as well as classic SFII era things.” Click here for first picture in gallery.
Then much later i thought it would be cool to do a re-visioning or a personal piece of Guile in 3D. As i saw Street Fighter 4 pics come online i got amped to give it a shot.
