It's been a while since I last did an interview, but I've always known that insights provided by people who have actually worked on the Street Fighter series is a great way to not only understand the development behind the game, but it can also reveal information that would allow someone like me to create … Continue reading A Few Questions for Marc Swint →

Based on the research I've done, Ibuki's story seems to be going a number of different ways. With her clan behind the original blueprints of what would become the G Project, her personal ties to the Illuminati, and her apparent soon-to-be blood feud with Akira Kazama, is it any wonder she drinks? Ibuki seems to … Continue reading Where the Summer Breeze Blows: A Few Thoughts on Ibuki →

People have been asking me if I would ever branch into other games. My theories have been solidly Street Fighter for a long time. Admittedly, I was not expecting to write a Tekken theory. I write Street Fighter theories: it's what I know and what I do best. However, after being asked recently, I decided … Continue reading The Biggest Threat in Tekken →

Street Fighter: The Official Street Food Cookbook has been released, and it holds over 80 recipes inspired by the characters and real-world locales that make up the Street Fighter universe. The author, Victoria Rosenthal, has plenty of experience writing gaming-related culinary literature. She has also written Fallout: The Vault Dweller's Official Cookbook and Destiny: The … Continue reading Food For Thought: The Secret of Sakura Kasugano →

Sean and Laura Matsuda have a very loving brother-sister relationship. While Laura can be very physically aggressive with her little brother, it's obviously in good fun, even if Sean is an unwilling participant in her antics. Sean seems to be more responsible than his sister, but even he is considered a fun, goofy character by … Continue reading There’s Something About the Matsudas →

It's uncertain what Akira Kazama's story is going to be about in Street Fighter V until she's actually released. It could be heavy, light-hearted, or be a careful balance of both serious and funny considering the characters who would most likely be involved. My guess is that it will take that last path, as Akira's … Continue reading The Purpose of Akira Kazama? →

With the research I've done over the past few years, I've come to the conclusion that the plans of the primary antagonists, Bison, Gill, and G, were in fact the exact same plan, stolen from the organization before them, with some alterations to suit their purposes. The original plan, instigated by the Glade of Ninjas, … Continue reading Street Fighter’s G(roup) Project →

The theory that launched my entire brand was "The Truth About G and Q?" It was covered by Event Hubs and Combo Infinito. I interviewed Daniel Lindholm, G's composer, on creating G's Theme, one of the best pieces of music on the Street Fighter V soundtrack. I've developed theory after theory on G and Q, … Continue reading The Question of G →

In my last theory, I explained what my research led me to conclude about what Rose's story mode told me about what G's ultimate plan would be. She wanted to prevent him from ever getting the chance to unleash it by reaching into the past to save the future. However, I lamented that there wasn't … Continue reading Rose & G: From Zero →

(Special thanks to Twitter user @MysterSack for some of the screenshots here.) Rose and her story were just released, hinting at, if not outright revealing, one of the darkest stories gaming has ever seen. Street Fighter is not known for having a dark plot, even though it does dabble in troubling elements from time to … Continue reading Rose & G: Final Impact →
