Chun Li: Now in strawberry and blue-raspberry.
Hobby Japan, No.278, 1992.
Alright, it’s story time, kids.
The year is 1994. The Sign by Ace of Base is on the airwaves, and Capcom came out with a little game called Super Street Fighter II: The New Challengers.
The Sign was everywhere, and to little 8 year old me, I thought they were British (they’re Swedish, I guess). I also knew that the new Street Fighter, Cammy, was British. So whenever I heard The Sign, I imagined it was being sung by Cammy and Chun Li.
There. That’s my dumb story.
Did anyone else do this?
Con sketch time!
Sagat by Omar Dogan. I either got this at the second NYCC or the first NY Anime Fest, my memory is a little fuzzy.
Omar is actually a pretty nice dude.

I was so excited when the first Resident Evil movie came out.
All I wanted was a mansion and some zombies. Was that too much to ask for?
Fan art time!
Linn/Lynn/Rinn Kurosawa from Capcom’s Alien Vs Predator.
Come on, Capcom! If Konami can wrangle the rights to X-Men then why can’t you re-release this gem?

Utterly fabulous cover to Gamest magazine, June, 1995.
The two best Darkstalkers on the cover AND it comes with a Fatal Fury 3 strategy guide!
Sure, we’ve seen plenty of fan art for Street Fighter II, Alpha, hell, even EX.
But how often do you see fan art for the first Street Fighter?
