By now you're probably tired of reading about slick Hollywood-based video game launch parties attended by C-list celebrities and wannabes who probably game about as much as your grandma. Capcom finally got it right by opening up the
Street Fighter IV party to the public. The only problem was that so many people showed up for the event that the fire marshal ended up restricting access, and a lot of people went home without getting their game on.
For those of you who didn't make it to the Geffen Museum
Street Fighter Takeover in downtown Los Angeles, we offer up the gallery below from the event. There were tons of
console stations where you could play the game,
imported versions of the
SFIV Japanese arcade game, a
Street Fighter Club
rumble pit, a
"museum" full of
Street Fighter products from over the years,
Street Fighter arcade cabinets painted by different artists, plenty of
people in costumes, and of course, game producer
Ono-san.
