Steet Fighter X Tekken - Its out!

It's finally out! After watching tons and tons of trailers and reading reviews about the game it seems that Capcom have outdone themselves in delivering yet another impressive fighting game for us all!

I dont even need to second guess myself that this fighting game will be the best yet!
For those who don't know Street Fighter X Tekken is as obvious as it gets. Putting 2 of the best fighting video game in the industry against each other. Complimenting each other's strengths and created probably one of the greater master piece fighter available!

The game just barely came out and there is already an impressive well made Fan Made Martial Art short Film out of it! Courtesy of youtube & the creators Thousand Pounds.

Not convince? check out the gameplay & features in the official trailer below. Courtesy of Capcom

Gota love the epic rock song to compliment the Martial Arts sound effects :D

Cute Photoshop Fighters - Street Fighter 25th Birthday

Yet another Tribute of Street Fighter Fans.

In celebration of Street Fighter's 25th Anniversary, BBQ for Honor promises continue to bring fellow readers back to its original intention of posting more information about anything in terms to Martial Arts. (in addition to memes of Fighting Video Games). In the meantime, why not refresh yourself with information about other martial arts, or learn about civilian weapons such as the Kubotan for self defense purposes? Or even look at people misuse these self defense weapons? Learn that to be a Master of "Something" is also considered as Kung Fu?

Thousand Pounds - Street Fighter 25th Birthday

What is the definition of a dislocated jaw? The picture above.

Keeping up with the spirit of Street Fighter 25th Birthday, here's a group of stuntman/Martial Artist doing their own rendition of Ultra Combos from courtesy of Street Fighter 4. We've all seen how martial art fight scenes in movies have evolved throughout the years now even Video Games is taking up a notch into making the illusion of hitting hard to REALLY hurts.

I'm telling you guys, video games makes action sequences so much more awesome simply by manipulating the traditional camera angles into hyper realism camera angles to achieve the greatest effect. Aside from Japanese film maker Ryuhei Kitamura, I have yet to see Hollywood attempt to mimic the camera angles of a video game to achieve for maximum impact.

I wonder why Capcom have yet to create a drunken master character in their fighting games.

As Jackie Chan would (probably) say, "Comedy is all about timing & pauses, Martial Arts comedy is all about high impact timing and fancy pauses" not to mention the help of camera angles and exaggerated sound design.
