Flickr member Julian Fong aka levork makes custom minifigures that look like they were released by LEGO itself. Over the last one and a half years, Fong has been working on a set of Street Fighter II minifigs.

Although most of us never go past mashing buttons in fighting games, the truth is the genre is all about tactics and strategy, reading your opponent and coming up with the right move at the right time.

I think we’ve seen almost every version of Monopoly possible. There’s Star Trek Monopoly, Nintendo Monopoly, Star Wars Monopoly, Futurama Monopoly and now it looks like there’s a Street Fighter version coming from Capcom and USAopoly.

I’ve actually never thought of combining the characters from Super Mario Bros. with the ones from Street Fighter, but for some strange reason, they do seem appealing. The only thing that’s missing is that either they could be made out of large pixels or strangely muscular cartoon drawings that are animated in low fps.

I know, TRON stuff is so late 2010. But when I saw these awesome Street Fighter x TRON illustrations by Melbourne, Australia graphic artist BossLogic, I had still had to put them up.

YouTube user Jimmy aka jim784m has a great New Year’s gift for Xbox 360 owners who play WWE Smackdown vs. Raw 2011 – custom Street Fighter wrestlers! The detail on the skins are spot on, especially considering he made four different costumes for each fighter.

Now I’m not sure your average 11-year old even knows what Street Fighter is, but any kid who got this SSFIV cake for his birthday should be happy to get this.

Looks like Bowser’s finally decided to step up the security in his castle: Where’s a Starman when you need one?

Hikakin –  he of the superb Super Mario beatbox – is back with his version of a round of Street Fighter (II?), specifically Ken vs. Dhalsim. Insert coin and press start:

You’ve gotta love these ultra-minimal graphics of Bowser (with his back to us), Luigi, Mario and Princess Peach by Nick Luckett. The Street Fighter ones by infinitecontinues which inspired Nick to create his ain’t half bad either.

Have you ever had video game-like dreams? Mike aka OrinCreed had one such dream. Fortunately, he and his friends were able to translate his dream into a video. Mike says I Dream in Retro is “based heavily on a dream I had that was caused by a long day of playing NES, SNES, and Genesis.

HO.LY.CRAP. Somebody really likes Akuma.

It seems like Roundtable Concept’s Official Marvel HDTVs were a big hit, because now they’ve partnered with CAPCOM to release official Street Fighter IV LED HDTVs. The TVs will be available in four sizes – 32″, 40″, 42″ and 46″.

There’s something just so wrong, it’s right about this Street Fighter and Sesame Street mashup. Artist gavacho13 combined classic characters from the children’s TV show with the ultimate fighting game to create some really insane new characters with names like Kernie and Beryu, Pig-Li, C.

Ooops. A bit of Photoshop fun seen on Reddit. Don’t read the comments there by the way or you’ll go insane.
