Street Fighter Online ... with mouse controls
What also makes the game unique and bizarre (aside from the random cat in the above picture - perhaps it's omnipotent) is the ability to interchange body parts on your character. The game is reportedly about fighting Revoltech toys, which is a line of actual toys planned to be sold alongside the game. As IGN predicts, you could have the head and torso of Chun-Li, the arms of Zangief and the legs of Ryu (the gender identity issues are plentiful).
The game is expected to go into beta February or March, with full service coming in April. No word on a version for non-Japanese gamers.

Chun-Li has GI-JOE knees.
Poisoned Al @ Jan 16th 2008 10:06PM
It looks so bad not even lol cats could save it.
Hashbrown_Hunter @ Jan 16th 2008 11:29PM
nothing but a pathetic attempt at a cash-in.

You're just now noticing that the Street Fighter franchise has cashed in as embarrassingly and as often as it could?

Wii's first SF game announced!
konajinx @ Jan 16th 2008 10:16PM
Shit, if that cat had appeared in the last million versions of SF 3, I wouldn't have stopped playing long ago!
Geist @ Jan 16th 2008 10:16PM
WAIT A MINUTE!?
You _didn't_ add the random cat picture?
What. The. Hell?

One game I'm glad _isn't_ coming to America.
thethirdmoose @ Jan 16th 2008 10:28PM
Clearly chairman meow
BPM64 - The Second Attack! @ Jan 16th 2008 11:44PM
If this game was being released in China instead of Japan, I'd say he was Meow Zedong. Or maybe L'mao Zedong.
But it isn't, and I won't.
Fernando Rocker @ Jan 16th 2008 10:34PM
lol... that cat is bizarre... I tought it was a Joystiq photoshop...
Off-Topic:
If I start a videogame blog, with my own domain... would you guys read it?
simmcity @ Jan 16th 2008 10:40PM
If its not full of the usual bullshit you say about PS3/Sony then, yes/maybe.
T3H WICKERMAN (FDF) @ Jan 16th 2008 10:51PM
Yes, your joystiq's own little karl pilkington.
brandon_r87 @ Jan 16th 2008 10:53PM
I might not read it regularly, but I would for sure check it out. I'm a bit of a Nintendo fanboy sometimes, so I like some of your comments. Do you plan to stick to news like Joystiq, or do you plan to blog mostly about your own gaming experience?
Fernando Rocker @ Jan 16th 2008 10:57PM
About news, own experiences, a lot of ideas that I have.
T3H WICKERMAN (FDF) @ Jan 16th 2008 10:58PM
Will you discuss your mullet and the inspiration for it? ;)
Fernando Rocker @ Jan 16th 2008 11:01PM
Yeah, I will discuss my mullet (really), play some songs in the guitar, make photoshop contests, make podacast with readers (like for example, two sony fanboys, two 360 fanboys and two nintendo faboys and talk about the advantages/disadvantages of consoles).
Stuff like that
Einhanderkiller @ Jan 16th 2008 11:02PM
I waste enough time reading blogs as it is, so no.
T3H WICKERMAN (FDF) @ Jan 16th 2008 11:02PM
Im sold.
Fernando Rocker @ Jan 16th 2008 11:05PM
I also want to make some prints with the pictrures of all the readers, like posters, with some videogame design. Like a collage.
MasterInsan0 @ Jan 16th 2008 11:16PM
Probably not, because video game blogs are a dime a dozen these days.
The Artist formally known as Jesus @ Jan 16th 2008 11:32PM
awesome, Fernando's making his own blog
I'd read it
Zorink @ Jan 16th 2008 11:36PM

Fernando Rocker @ Jan 16th 2008 11:43PM
Ahh and a weekly video showing the city where I live, like a tour... both Laredo, Tx and Nuevo Laredo, Mx.
Jerk Face @ Jan 17th 2008 12:00AM
I'd be down for it, Mr. Rocker.
rv @ Jan 17th 2008 12:01AM
I will be sure to ddos attack it whenever it comes up.
timnc @ Jan 17th 2008 12:10AM
sure why not
Shagittarius @ Jan 17th 2008 1:12AM
Are you is going have naked pics of you?
The Artist formally known as Jesus @ Jan 17th 2008 1:12AM
Would we get to downvote your blog entries?
I know that would attract a lot of people from Joystiq
:D
ThornedVenom @ Jan 17th 2008 1:38AM
Stealing the Joystiq crowd, huh? That put aside, I'd check out your website for the lulz.
But Justin McElroy would be the reason why I'd return to Joystiq anyday. xD
upz @ Jan 17th 2008 12:39PM
What is it with you and hi-jacking Street Fighter threads, you attention sucking black hole?
Mr.ESC @ Jan 17th 2008 2:57PM
Meh Why not but you better have forums and if you have them. can I be a Mod?,I always wanted to be a Mod and know how it feels to ban someone.
If you have your own site I would like to be a contributor.
Double J @ Jan 16th 2008 10:37PM
Revoltech figures are awesome. I have Optimus Prime(Or Convoy as those wacky Japs like to call him) and Megatron, and some of the Evangelion figures. They are wicked cool.
doom saber @ Jan 16th 2008 10:50PM
Well, Convoy is the original name of Optimus Prime, way back during the diaclone line.
Double J @ Jan 16th 2008 10:51PM
Yes. I know. It was tongue in cheek.
Robobagins @ Jan 17th 2008 1:25AM
Screw the game, Revoltech Chun-li! Hell yeah!
Batzarro @ Jan 16th 2008 10:57PM
Curious. Rose-Sakura-Mika Hybrids? I'm game.
mErty @ Jan 16th 2008 11:14PM
anyone else notice that the cat's eyes are both different colors?
Crono (NDF - Knight of the Old School) @ Jan 17th 2008 11:12AM
Its David Bowie's cat.
GRANTED @ Jan 17th 2008 2:09PM
my parents cat looks exactly like that, white fur and green and blue eyes. it's a genetic abnormality; the cat is probably colorblind
J44xm @ Jan 17th 2008 2:34AM
O-pa-pi!
SeriousKriss @ Jan 17th 2008 3:53AM
I think I'll stick with Melty Blood...
doom saber @ Jan 17th 2008 5:17AM
Found this hk link of SF X revoltech figs on a forum:

Zotnix @ Jan 17th 2008 8:48AM
Woah,
Has my site already become a thing idly referenced on blogs? Woo!
I think it'd be better if they included Ceiling Cat, he is a bit more omnipresent than that cat on this picture. Not to mention he also watches you do nefarious activities.
Maybe that cat is a secret weapon of some sort. Like a weird ultimate attack. That said, moving the mouse side to side? I find that uninspired at best.

Exchanging body parts...gender identification...
there is a Poison joke in here somewhere....
stik_man @ Jan 18th 2008 6:21PM
As long as it controls better than the last online street fighter(keyboard sucks for SF), and the Lagg isn't as bad as the last one then I'll bite at this.
