Mad or Metal?

In 2019, legendary game designer Hideo Kojima appeared on Russian comedy talk show Evening Urgant, hosted by Ivan Urgant. At some point during their segment, Kojima and Urgant played a round of Street Fighter II, with Kojima picking Chun-Li and Urgant picking Ken. Although he stated that he preferred shooters to fighting games, Kojima won, … Continue reading Mad or Metal? →

A Few Questions for Jessica Straus

Getting the insight I did on Akuma from an actor's standpoint was refreshing. However, Akuma wasn't the first character I wanted to know more about. While my readers know I'm a huge fan of G, there was a character who came first who I find to be an incredible character, and without a doubt my … Continue reading A Few Questions for Jessica Straus →

A Few Questions for Richard Epcar

In 2018, I reached out to Daniel Lindholm to understand G's theme and what his thoughts were as he was writing the song. During my research into Street Fighter, there were a lot of questions that came up that I needed to clarify in order to understand the characters better. So, I decided the best … Continue reading A Few Questions for Richard Epcar →

A Rainbow of Information

Having created polls and market research surveys in the past, one of the most exciting things for me is watching data in real time. It's a real trip to watch percentages go up as people select their personal choices for whatever questions they're answering. When it's a topic that you, as the surveyor, care about, … Continue reading A Rainbow of Information →

The Ultimate Purpose of Necalli

Despite being a canon punching bag for every character in Street Fighter so far, Necalli remains one of the biggest mysteries in the game. We know his design is based on Aztec mythology, that he shows up once every few hundred years, and he likes to eat people (officially their souls, but the way he … Continue reading The Ultimate Purpose of Necalli →

Blanka, the Uniter

Writer David Roth, prominent freelance journalist, recently put out the following tweet: A lot of people in the FGC, myself included, took offense to this tweet. I fully understand the context of it. It was meant in jest, and was a simple posture comparison of a certain president that wasn't this guy: That being said, … Continue reading Blanka, the Uniter →

Ibuki, the Betrayer

In a previous theory, I stated that Ibuki was the hidden evil of Street Fighter. Her clan, the Glade of Ninjas, is essentially a Lamarckian cult with an interest in genetics that piqued the interest of Gill and the Illuminati. Ibuki herself is a willing participant in the clan's research, although she ended up striking … Continue reading Ibuki, the Betrayer →

The Tragic Fate of Crimson Viper

While I was chilling on YouTube, I stumbled across several comments that led me back to Urien's story mode in Street Fighter V. The comments all had do with one particular scene: the dialogue between Urien and Crimson Viper. It's already been confirmed that Viper has been investigating Q. However, the one piece of exposition … Continue reading The Tragic Fate of Crimson Viper →

Is Akuma Ryu’s Father?

For years, there has been one theory in Street Fighter that has seemed to overtake all others. It's one that has been debated over the years, with strong opinions from either side of the debate. Non-canon accounts in Street Fighter: Assassin's Fist and Street Fighter Alpha: The Animation have only fed fuel to the fire. … Continue reading Is Akuma Ryu’s Father? →
