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.

Happy Birthday Street Fighter!

Capcom Celebrates 25 Years of Street Fighter

A very good day to every Martial Artist and Street Fighter Fans alike. News from publishing company Capcom stating on the August 30th will be Street Fighter 25th Anniversary. Ryu took his first steps towards becoming the World's greatest Martial Artists/ Fighter 25 years ago and Capcom have some "big plans" for 2012 coming up to the August 30th.

What will be the big plans for 2012 I wonder?

A total remake of the original Street Fighter?

Ryu finally turning Evil for good?

or a complete bundle of all the Original Street Fighter series in HD/3D?

(My bet is on the latter)

For commemoration lets pay tribute to Ryu's 25 years of influence in Fighting Video Games.

I am the RED Cyclone!

Give me back that last piece of cheesecake you stole!

Zanghief has been made the world most notoriously popular Wrestler in the video game industry. First made popular in fighting genre, Super Street Fighter 2, he is also known as the Red Cyclone due to his matching red (lack of) attire of underwear, and wrestling boots. People always know him to be a slow, big and make for an easy target in many fighting games. What comes with size contributes to sheer POWER.

Some martial arts may say, power isn't everything, but in the ways of the Bushido, often times their techniques and philosophy encourages of taking the opponent down with 1 strike equals to 1 kill, same in the likes of Kyokushin, Kendo and Iaido. So with immense power comes with only 1 strike.

Or in the case of Zhangief, 1 strike and its over.
Here's real life proof of the Red Cyclone in Action.

Super Atomic Crush!

Big kid was bullied by the small fry and he had enough and transform himself into the Red Cyclone. Good job for standing up on yourself. That was sure a hard hit.
