Street Fighter Tribute

I’ve had alot of obsessions in my day. Comics, records, pizza, mid 90’s porn, rare sneakers (worst hobby ever), horror movies, etc. The one infatuation that has persisted through my rapid accruement of life years has been my unfading affection for all things Street Fighter. I have yet to bear the fruits of my groin, so I think it’s safe to say the greatest chest swelling pride I have ever experienced is the moment I learned the universe solving equation of forward, down, down-diagonal=Shoryuken. I’m partially exaggerating.

As I was drooling Skittles scented saliva all over the pages of this book my mind switched modes from art admiration to enraged envy. You see, those fortunate foreigners over in Japan are all now in the arcades playing Street Fighter 4 with a grinning mouthful of Pocky while I have to squat in N.J. awaiting it’s stateside release. Yeah, I know the economy is crumbling and we are about to have a senile mummy with Alaskan arm candy running the country and I should be concerned with more pressing issues. Eff it! I want to yoga flame my way to blissful joystick ignorance!

Nostalgia is a powerful thing. Who doesn’t love a tiny reminder of their youth to deliver a welcome wave of fuzzy gut warmth? The ever increasing popularity of all things deemed old school speaks volumes to that notion. It’s possible an image of Mario riding a GT Pro Performer with Optimus Prime on the pegs could cause a grown man to knee buckle tumble into a teary mess. I’m one of these man-children, so it’s only natural for me to gravitate towards artistic renderings of the retro video games that have molded me into the thug-nerd I am today. Now all I need to attain completion in life is a tattoo artist adept at permanent pixilated skin permeation so I can get the cast of Chrono Trigger carved into my abdomen.
