Episode 423: Street Fighter II - Beyond the Game
Added 2021-12-13 11:01:02 +0000 UTCWe've talked about the World Warrior, we've talked about its many ports and revisions, now it's time to talk about All The Rest. Street Fighter II was so huge, it quickly spread beyond the world of games into other media. What kind of media? Let us tell you!
Diamond is your host on this journey to the 1990s as we run through the films, the cartoons, the comics, and even the original albums that sprung up in the wake of Capcom's genre-defining video game. Joining xem and sharing their collective expertise are Shivam Bhatt and Matt McMuscles, both of whom have loads of personal experience with the many interpretations of Ryu, Ken, Guile, Chun-li, and their...friends? Squadmates? Co-conspirators? They are many things, depending on the licensee...

This episode was fantastic. Loved it. Also curious if this is the first ever full length Retronauts episode with neither Bob nor Jeremy?

2021-12-22 21:26:13 +0000 UTCI was loving the discussion about the Malibu comics, because my best friend at the time bought those and we laughed our asses off at the cancelation rant in the final issue. Much like Shivam said, I haven't read those comics since the '90s, but I remember these details vividly.
