Christian Svensson talks fighting game ports for other platforms and why pros get early releases of their games

In regards to the slowing sales of newer fighting game rereleases and ports from Capcom, one user at Capcom-Unity suggested that they try releasing the games to more platforms, instead of just the Xbox 360 and PS3.

Christian Svensson replied to this post, and gave insight as to why Capcom is not interested in releasing their titles, like Street Fighter 3: 3rd Strike Online Edition and Darkstalkers Resurrection for PC or other potential platforms.

Prepare to be blown away by the greatest Street Fighter fan in history!

BL1TZEN uploaded footage of quite possibly the greatest Street Fighter fan ever, and by "fan", we literally mean an electric fan. This appliance features small cut outs of Street Fighter characters taped to it as they performing various acts.

Ken is connected to the spinning switch on the fan allowing him to perform his Hurricane Kick on Blanka and E. Honda sits up front with multiple taped hands blowing in the wind to simulate his Hundred Hand Slap. Overall, this may be the coolest appliance we have ever seen... yeah, sorry about that.

Check out the video in all of its glory and share a laugh or two.

Street Fighter 3 Third Strike match - full stage view with non-scrolling camera

Csagets uploaded an interesting video recently that gives us an idea of what a Street Fighter 3 Third Strike match would look like if the entire stage were visible at all times. Ryu takes on Dudley in his own stage and sans a few minor hiccups such as Dudley's intro being a bit cropped and the sprites cutting off a bit whilst in the corner, this actually looks really awesome.

Would you welcome an in-game setting that allowed for the full stage view in Third Strike? Let us know in the comments below.

Capcom's Remember Me will feature Street Fighter moves as pre-order bonus

The pre-order bonuses for Capcom's upcoming Science Fiction title, Remember Me, have been divulged over on Steam. Players who order the game in advance will receive a set of combo attacks that share the names of special moves from the Street Fighter franchise.

As seen in the image below, the 3 combo attacks that will be awarded to those who pre-order are the Flash Kick, Spinning Bird Kick and Dragon Punch.

Seeing Street Fighter attacks incorporated into Remember Me's fighting arsenal is no surprise as it was reported last year that Capcom's own Yoshinori Ono had a hand in designing the combat system. Remember Me will be available for purchase on June 3, 2013.

Street Fighter: Assassin's Fist set to start shooting this year

As detailed in our earlier story, Street Fighter: Assassin's Fist is a project from the creators of the Street Fighter: Legacy series, aimed to give fans a well-made live-action adaption of the Street Fighter series.

After starting up their Kickstarter campaign roughly two weeks ago, with a goal of £625,000 ($950,000 USD), they recently shut it down two weeks earlier than their planned May 4th end date. The reason for this was explained by the series' Co-Creator Joey Ansah on their Kickstarter page.

Two VHS tapes give a glimpse into the past with Street Fighter 2: The World Warrior and Street Fighter 3: Third Strike

Thanks to the efforts of The Urban Arcade and Retro Reality Gaming, we have two glimpses into the past of Capcom's Street Fighter history. The first video gives a look into an arcade tournament held on 1999, the first year of Third Strike's release whereas the second video is an instructional videotape from the Nintendo Magazine System showing players how to play The World Warrior.

There are humorous pieces in both videos, The first contains Yun players using SA2, people actually picking Twelve, a Q player winning, and Chun-li players doing the same low forward shenanigans as always. The second video has takes on how strong some characters are compared to others while showing some of the more interesting move properties in SF2 (such as Honda's Sumo Headbutt not knocking down).

SF3 3S tool-assisted combo video, DSR Q-Bee quide, KoF 13 Ralf combos, Clark kara throw set ups and in-depth TTT2 Kazuya tutorial

Svensson: If I have my way, PC users will not be left out in the future of fighting games - Capcom will be doing more surveys

Assuring PC users that he's on board with pushing Capcom's products out to their platform specifically, Christian Svensson said that while he can't make promises — if he had his way — PC users won't be left out in the future of fighting games. This is potentially good news for fans of this platform, as Svensson has a good amount of clout within the company.

More surveys will also be forthcoming, like the one they did in December which over 60,000 people responded to. Svensson also talks about why there wasn't an arcade release for Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 and if Street Fighter 3 2nd Impact is likely to see a re-release.
