With Ken and Necalli both confirmed for SFV, 8 of 16 characters have been revealed, way before the game even has an official release date. This sounds like Decapre all over again. Anyways, Capcom Japan's SFV page has some official art for the new fighters. The art is on backgrounds, but some day we'll have clean art. For today's update is the four new fighters and a poster both courtesy of that site. I'm digging it!!!

SFV: Series 1

Having gone back recently to get alternate color swaps for a lot of games, I looked at Marvel Super Heroes and grabbed alternate win-screen shots for all characters (there's no alt for Dr. Doom or Thanos). Adding to the unnecessary, here's an updated gallery (which hadn't been touched in about a decade!) to MSH

MSH Alternates

As promised, many of the updates I've been sitting on are getting a nice roll-out, especially after I stated the site was effectively 'done' in a prior update. Nope! Today's update consists solely of Street Fighter Zero 3 artwork, though nothing is truly glorious. Most are just fixes and minor additions. I will thank -Whiplash- for providing me with some missing SFZ3UU character rips. Rather than go through all the updates, I'll just refer you to the SFZ3 page as it now has seven galleries (two being duplicates). The largest update is to Series 2A which is palette swaps of all 25 arcade characters. There's my nifty mouseover script to reduce the number of images on a page, but here's a Vega sample. I don't know what else I'm backlogged on. Hopefully there's something more in the near future!

SFZ3 Portraits: Vega

Still backlogged on some galleries but I'll be out of town for a few, so why not toss something new up. This gallery is the artwork from the victory screens from Street Fighter III: New Generation. The art comes from the official artbook from that game that someone scanned. The scans are not the greatest quality, Oro's art is particularly washed out, but the rest are quite good and in decent resolution (~500x700 for the most part). It's the sixth gallery from that game and this time I made the thumbnails a bit bigger. Gone are the low-bandwidth days of 2003! In any event, these are cool, I'll give two larger samples and will be back next week to hopefully toss up some more! Enjoy!

SFIII: New Generation: Victory Screens

So I'm updating all this old stuff (SFZ3 is like 17 years old now...*sigh*) and *BAM*, Street Fighter V info. I should have known, being E3 and all. Anyways, here's a quick update! Street Fighter V Art! Need I say more? These are from Shoryuken and they're all high-res images (but have backgrounds). Enjoy the first official gallery from the fifth entry! I'm psyched!

SFV: Series 1

I have a handful of updates coming up and considering my motivation goes in waves, I don't want to lose the momentum. If (and when) that happens, I'll be left with a bevy of updates that I've forgotten to let you know about. So, the first of a few new gallery updates is from Super Street Fighter II X. In August of 2014 I went through the game capturing all of the endings. Like so many other galleries, there those captures sat on the hard drive. Until today! So, the sixth gallery for SSF2X comes in the form of a low-res endings gallery. Enjoy!

SSF2X Endings

I haven't updated in a year? Wow...it's hard to believe it's been that long, but once again, I've exhausted almost all of my art possibilities and I dare say this site is nearly complete! Well, there's no worry, more art will always come in and while this announcement is from a few weeks ago, I thought it was time to share. Street Fighter V, a number we all seriously never thought we'd see, has been announced. Three characters are known (Ryu, Chun-Li and Nash) and...that's about it. Since that's all old news, all I have to update is an image of the logo. I might as well include the promoted box art too, as it's the only piece of art we have. Of course I'm interested...now the wait!!!

SFV!

Strange that Capcom announced USFIV so long ago. Teasing us with four characters and a new fifth character eight months ago (with several still left until release) was odd. Regardless of the warning signs (that we wouldn't be in love with this new fighter) the hype train built and when Decapre was announced, let's just say people weren't so enthusiastic. However I think she will be a good addition; rounding out the cast at 44 and putting a close to the Street Fighter IV nobody ever believed would come out. I find it remarkable that SFIV was announced over six years ago. I look forward to getting USFIV.

So, while Decapre was underwhelming to many, this site is devoted to art and I simply couldn't leave her out! I've added the fifth character to the USFIV gallery and figured I'd share some of the sprite rips I did ages ago for my personal site. I ripped several sprites of Decapre from SFZ3 and posted them on the 21st of March, 2005. Wow, 9 years ago this past week!!! Anyways here's her official artwork and those sprites for your enjoyment.

Decapre

SFZ3 Decapre Rips

It's been two months without an update but today has a quick, cool poster update. I'm still pretty psyched about Ultra Street Fighter IV and I'm certainly excited to see the expanded roster and tweaks to the final SF4 game. It's hard to believe we waited SO long for a fourth iteration and now it's been out for five years already! Anyways, with the news issued yesterday about the new double supers & red focus attacks also came a cool poster which is highlighted below. A small update but I'm happy things are still trickling out. I imagine the next update will feature artwork for the fifth added character...whoever that ends up to be!!! Enjoy!

After updating both the Street Fighter III and Street Fighter IV indexes, it was time to clean up the Street Fighter II page. This now contains logos for all twelve (!12!) SF2 titles and links to all the galleries as well. It's not really anything that wasn't already on the site. However, it's cleaned up and a bit more organized. I'm happy with it! Here's an animated logo just because.

Just a quick update on Ultra Street Fighter IV. I've tossed up images of the character's alternate outfits. These are official Capcom designs and I figured why not put them online!? There are just the four and there's also a poster of the game, all from Capcom Unity. That marks the 108th art gallery (+ 6 misc) on these pages. Quite nice indeed! Enjoy!

I haven't updated any of my sites in quite a while. After all these years, I've lost a little inspiration. It comes and it goes, though, and I fully expect to feel the rekindled love with web editing. In addition, the SF world has been lacking in true news, so it's been convenient.

This past week, however, there was a pretty big announcement. Ultra Street Fighter IV!!! I have to say I didn't see this coming, but it's a delightful addition to the SF4 world and I think this will be the last update we get. For $15 (DLC) or $40 (retail), I think it looks like an awesome package. I endeavor to get the new character artwork up soon, but for now, here's the game logo in all its glory! I'm pretty psyched about this...even if my competitive SF days are far behind me. :)

USF4!!!

Late Update
OK, fine...I'll update the art. Might as well cash-in on this inspiration. Only four new character portraits, so check them all out here.

USF4

Back in the winter of 2002, I came down with bronchitis. As a child, I would often get it around my birthday and in my mid-20s it happened again. I was 26 years old and very ill. As I sat at home, I came up with the plans that would eventually be Street Fighter Galleries. It took a good three years before the site would officially be done as I changed designs a few times and tweaked things. However, as I was still very much into web design and I wanted a way to collect all the awesome Street Fighter art in one place, I was excited about the endeavor.

Now it's 11 years later and I'm approaching my late-30s. It's remarkable how certain things are precisely as they were back them (Love me some SF!) but others are so outrageously different (four kids?!?!) As I emerged from a long hospital stay and recover, it reminds me of those old days of web design. Of course I started all this back in '95, so by 2002 I was already a veteran. But now SFG is 11 years old and I'm still proud to be at the helm, updating with the awesome art Capcom has published over the 25 years of SF history. In celebration of this anniversary, I started putting together a massive amount of updates. What started as a goal to hit 100 galleries has changed to a huge overhaul of almost half the site. In fact, this update alone is the largest since the site launched over a decade ago. There's no real easy way to cite all the updates - but I'll let you know what's new and what's changed.

Capcom barely celebrated Mega Man's 25th anniversary with the epic Street Fighter X Mega Man downloadable title. I checked it out, briefly. While I didn't give it the time it deserves, partly because I didn't have a game pad plugged in (doing that with a keyboard is a nightmare), I did take a few minutes to capture the character artwork. It's nothing super special, and the entire gallery will be previewed below. However, it's the 93rd gallery on the site (with 6 misc. galleries) which means the next will be the 100th. That's kinda cool. OK, here's your preview and have a happy and safe new year if I don't post before then!

Today has been a good day for Vampire/Darkstalkers. First off, I finally published my sprawling Vampire Savior FAQ which covers ever single iteration of the awesome third game in the series. Seeing as how there are three arcade titles and seven home ports, there's a lot to cover. I'm proud of the lot so check it out if you so desire.

Second, I tossed together a Vampire Logo Collection with every title of every game. This includes titles that never were released (like Night Warriors 2). It's a minor thing, but I had already done it with Street Fighter, so why not?

Finally, the last pieces of artwork for Vampire Resurrection have come out and they round out one of the strongest art galleries I've ver seen by Capcom. I'll let you decide for yourself, but the sample here is for Pyron - So cool! Enjoy this and your Christmas. Safe new year too! Remember, 2013 is the 10-year anniversary of this site. Madness!

Street Fighter Galleries is about to celebrate its 10th anniversary. What started out as a simple hobby, a means to collect art for myself, it has grown beyond my expectations. I've just uploaded my 90th full gallery and decided to make some changes to one section of the site.

Today's main update is for the upcoming Vampire / Darkstalkers Resurrection release coming in March. The collection of Vampire Hunter / Night Warriors and Vampire Savior / Darkstalkers 3 is coming out and I've been doing a lot of research on the multiple games for a potential FAQ. Here's your sample of the art as Capcom Japan has started posting the new character portraits. It turns out they're really quite good. I'll continue updating with art as it's revealed.

VR

That's some awesome stuff right there. However, like I mentioned, there was more to this update. I've decided to include all the Vampire / Darkstalkers games to the left navigation. There are now five sets of games there and their convoluted history has been fun to research. While this site is obviously dedicated to Street Fighter, the art of these games is certainly worthy of place on this site. This is a small thing, but with another Vampire game coming out in the future, I expect more galleries to come. I can't wait.

Last weekend I got the inspiration to do something stupid. I captured all of Street Fighter Zero 2 Alpha's character art again, this time including all the color swaps. It was a useless endeavor, but the end product is kind of cool.

I used my familiar mouseover script to reduce the number of entries on the page. Since I captured all the alternate characters as well (Shin Gouki, Evil Ryu, Chun-Li's classic outfit, SSF2 colors and Sakura's extra set of swaps), it was a large number, over 130 in all. Check them out if you care to. I kept the original gallery for those not interested in such ridiculousness.

SFZ2A

Capcom Japan's page has updated with Vampire Resurrection. I just uploaded the logo...that's all for today.

VR

I have quite enjoyed this new resurgence of art and activity on this site. As my Tony Hawk Site was recently torn from my hands unexpectedly, this is now my 2nd-longest running site. In any event, the new news is about Darkstalkers Revenge, a collection of the second and third titles in the awesome Vampire / Darkstalkers series of games. Now, they omitted the first game, understandably, but I'm not really sure how Darkstalkers 3 fits in. I realize it came out on the PS1 with that title, but the original arcade game (which is what we're emulating here) had a convoluted release history. Vampire Savior, Vampire Savior 2 and Vampire Hunter 2 are all slightly different. I'll have to see if I still have Darkstalkers 3 somewhere to compare.

Back on task, today is just a poster from the new collection, much like what I did with Marvel Vs. Capcom Origins. No new dedicated art, but a logo and a poster will have to do! Enjoy!

DSR

While on harvest break (3 weeks off of school for potato harvest), I had the motivation to go back to X-Men Vs. Street Fighter. Since I'd done that, why not rip the alternate colors and hidden characters in both Marvel Super Heroes Vs. Street Fighter and the last CPS2 game of its kind, Marvel Vs. Capcom?

So, what we have today is just fixes for existing galleries, really. Both ripped artwork in MSF (series #2 and series #3) have been re-captured with all the characters and colors. This includes Mephisto, US Agent, Mech Gouki, Dark Sakura, Armored Spider-Man and Mega Zangief. What once was art I disliked, I've come to really enjoy.

On to Marvel Vs. Capcom, the release of Marvel Vs. Capcom Origins has really made me look back fondly to this time of my life. This is just prior to 3D taking over everything in gaming (it had started, I realize, but 2D still had a foothold). In any event, I went back and recapped the win poses gallery. Like MSF, this includes alternate colors and all hidden fighters (Shadow Lady, Orange Hulk, Lilith, Carnage, Mega War Machine and Roll). I ought to head back to the Supers 2 gallery and redo those. Perhaps. Perhaps.

I think that's enough for the day. Ultimately, these are just small updates and I've added no new galleries. It's OK though. I still really enjoy this site. Hopefully you enjoy the art galleries as much.

After the last update, I figured why not check out the other gallery from XSF and look at this? The same problem as before! So, once again here you'll get the full artwork for each character (two for Chun-Li) as well as both color variants (mouseover them). Apocalypse is featured here, but not in full res. The same thing as yesterday. I love this stuff!

Old	New

There are still some galleries that need editing/uploading but I haven't had the time as of late. In addition, there are some more behind-the-scenes updates that I haven't posted (and more to complete). However, as Marvel Vs. Capcom Origins has just launched on both the PS3 and Xbox360, I felt the urge to revisit yesteryear and check out the titles that kept us going to arcades in the late 90s. It's funny, because by then, the arcade was (in many places) dying out. It felt like the heyday (SF2 - 1992!) was so far away, but in reality, it was just a few years removed. Now, it's 15 years since these titles graced the arcade...and alas! I feel old.

MVCO

OK, back on task. There are two cool updates today.

First is a Marvel Vs. Capcom Origins Poster. This massive image is from Capcom Unity and is pretty cool. Since there is no art for the title, you'll have to chek out each's individual section (MSH, MVC) for what I've got.

This got me interested so I checked out some old stuff. Specifically, I figured I'd capture the alternate colors for characters in X-Men Vs. Street Fighter (can someone tell me why XSF and MSF weren't included?) I had done the alternate color thing in one MSF gallery, and thought it looked cool. However, upon checking out what I had, I realized I was missing something! Now, considering I'm losing my mind taking care of kids while on vacation, this small thing is actualy exciting for me! You can see in the comparison below what the issue was. I had captured images from when a character used a super rather than the larger image from the character select screen. I'm pretty psyched and think the 'new' gallery looks rather awesome. You have alternate colors for all characters (mouseover them!) but Apocalypse is from my old captures and is smaller. I hope you enjoy these!

XSF

More to come as always!!!

I managed some updates behind the scenes in the last few months. I had a log file but I have since lost it. Not entirely sure what I updated, but I know for certain there was a new Street Fighter Zero 2 gallery uploaded. With today's update, I think that makes a total of 90 galleries on the site. Not too shabby for a site that's like 10 years old or something!

However, today's update is artwork from Street Fighter X Tekken. It's a pretty good game, a fun romp, if you will. The gallery in question covers avatars that were made available on the PSN this past week. The images are cool, smaller versions of the artwork I need to get on the site. For now, it'll do though, and I included the Tekken characters too. Enjoy this and I hope to get the rest up soon!

Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike - Online Edition is out and of course, I had no choice but to purchase it. Of course, I have it on the Dreamcast (all 3 SF3 games) and on the PS2...but one last time can't hurt! Scouring the net I found both the avatars and full set of high-res artwork! Many thanks to Creative Uncut, a source I'll use again for some other incomplete sets of mine. These are all awesome and look spectacular. I'll toss up a preview and you should enjoy my first update in over a year!

I tossed up a Marvel Vs. Capcom 3 gallery, using some good high-res images. There will be plenty more to come. I've also gone through the Game List, bringing it closer to being up-to-date. There is now a link to the Logo Collection to the left, also brought up-to-date. Actually, I'm missing a few, and I plan on getting Tatsunoko vs. Capcom stuff up as well as the new info on Street Fighter X Tekken (and later Tekken X Street Fighter). But I did toss up a quick image of the Online Edition of 3rd Strike. So much new stuff! Enjoy!

Three more images from Super Street Fighter IV. The latest include Dudley, Makoto and Ibuki, the folks from Street Fighter III.

Brief update today, but also a reminder that this site launched 8 years ago this month. I'm sick this weekend, much as I was then. I was really sick back in 2002 and I rested by crafting a new site! 8 years. That's crazy.

Some new images have been posted over at Capcom Unity and I've compiled them into the SSF4 Page. You can now find Dan, El Fuerte and Rufus. Of course, the big news today is that Adon, Cody and Guy are all verified as well for the new game! I'm kinda happy about Adon, but couldn't care less about the Final Fight guys. I never liked them in the Zero series. That brings our new fighters up to 6 (Dee Jay, T. Hawk, Juri, and these 3). I think they said there would be 8, so what's left? I sure would like a pair of new fighters. I don't particularly need to see anyone from SF3. I think 3 new fighters would be a pretty cool addition, but I doubt we'll see that. More to come!

Update: 5th October
Sagat and C. Viper's images are now available in the section below, all courtesy of Capcom Unity!

Update: 2nd October
Dee Jay's pic has also been uploaded as well! I like this new set of art already!

It was no surprise that it was coming, but I'm totally psyched about the unveiling of Super Street Fighter IV. I found that SF4 did everything right. It mixed every classic element and character, with updated visuals while staying true to the 2D plane. It was easier to get into for the average gamer yet felt deep enough for the more advanced user. It was fun, looked great, sounded great and had a great mix of new and old (focus on old). Mixing it up with this update, I am just pumped. So, the first official art is out and you can find the updates in the Logo Gallery, the Site Map, and of course in the Street Fighter IV pages. Only two shots for now, but the official art for Dee Jay, T. Hawk and Juri will be coming soon, I'm sure. I'll post both shots and note that I linked to sexy high-res versions. Read: they're large pics!

Back in 2003 I scanned a few images from my Street Fighter EX2 Plus strategy guide. The art for the game was awesome, but I never got around to scanning and editing the whole lot. There they sat, for 6 long years. I figured I'd toss them up. They're good scans and are are in nice high resolution. For a sample, here's the whole lot. Perhaps one day I'll get to the rest, I don't see it happening any time soon though!

Street Fighter EX 2
Kairi	Nanase	Sagat	Shadowgeist

I went back and recapped one of the sets of art from Marvel Vs. Capcom. The final set here consisted of JPGs, another bad choice on my part from like 6 years ago. GIFs now for the most part look the same, but are better quality. I wonder what else there is I've missed. Brought other parts of the site up-to-date and tidy too. 7 years old! Wow!

Another old gallery of JPG files. Urgh! This stuff is old, probably from back in 2002-2003. I was a mere novice!

Anyways, I went through an old Marvel Super Heroes Vs. Street Fighter gallery and got rid of the poor shots that I had. Once again I've tossed up the alternate outfits for this one (mouseover the image). Take a peek at the second MSF gallery for more! I've got to admit, it's pretty ugly stuff...I really never liked the artwork from the game, but hey, it had to be done!

I'm away on Thanksgiving vacation but I'll be back tonight and will likely try to get some SSFIITHDR in! For anyone interested, I'm planettonyhawk on PSN. While I've (obviously) played SF consistently over the years, this really feels like a throwback to me. Most times I've played home versions or *coughemulationcough*. Arcades in my areas have been dead for a long time.

Anyways, the real purpose of this update...I fixed up the Street Fighter IV gallery. The image of Gouken was a mess (must've been the upload). I tossed up a new version of that and also posted Fei Long and Dan images. They're not the best IMO. Their quality feels like an afterthought. After cool images like Sagat's, these look cheesy. The whole set is of differing quality and resolutions. Many of the images are very dark and I haven't gone in to touch them up.

Oh, speaking of, I came across this image quite a while ago. Surely you've seen it by now. With the release of SFIV on consoles nearing (mid-February), the cast has yet to be finalized. This image gives away some new names. Spoiler Warning...If you don't want to know, well, don't click on that image, and don't read the following! It appears that both Gen and Rose are part of the cast as well! Looking pretty good, but that image may be a mockup. That's all for today.

The long wait is over! Super Street Fighter II Turbo: HD Remix is out and I've been enjoying it on the Playstation 3! (Don't want to pay $50/yr to play online on the 360!) Apparently an assets disc was released to the public, we may have some additional art to come, but for now, from Sirlin.net, I've got a gallery of all the characters' portraits. It's great stuff and is nice and crisp in HD! Logo, then sample. Click on!

SSFIITHDR

I've updated the Street Fighter IV gallery a few times over the last few months, as new characters were revealed. With the news of Gouken, the cast is up to 19. They're not going to change his name for the US release, are they? Anyways, check out the gallery for high quality versions of all the characters!

Oh, and another thing...I haven't had the time to do the editing like I used to, but I did stop off earlier this month and do some captures from my favorite SF ever, SFZ2A! I went back and capped all of Shin Gouki's sprites. This made the tally a riidculous 53 different images for the same sprite. It was fun, however stupid it may be. Check out every Ryu/Ken/Dan/Gouki sprite in almost every game over at my my personal site here. There are a bunch of other images over there as well, so feel free to peruse the collection!

I had a pretty bad day. It's been 6 years since starting this site and almost 13 since my first site. One thing that still helps me out is old-fashioned editing. Capturing, some Photoshop magic, uploading, HTML editing and seeing the final product. It may be a small thing, but it can let me forget about the world and enjoy myself.

Anyways, I went through the Marvel Vs. Capcom section and noticed the half-face images were all stored as JPGs. Sure, larger versions, but inferior quality. So, I recapped them, including the bonus character and then opted to go for the alternate colors as well. I usually skimp out on those. Take SSF2X for example, 8 colors for each character? I think that explains it all! Well, I decided to go for it here and even included a mouseover script so you can see the alternates on the fly. It looks cool and was well worth my time.

So demanding with the samples...

MVC Half Faces

I've had poor resolution shots of Magneto and Storm in the MVC2 gallery for ages. Thanks to Henry and the excellent Inventiveflow, we have good quality versions of each. A small but very welcome update! Thanks!

Pretty useless update. Felt the need to capture icons from SSF2X. These are next to the life bar when in a match. Small images, and pretty much unnecessary, but they can be found here.

In the beginning of the Versus strategy guide were the two hidden stages in SFZ2. I didn't see these initially. The large versions are at a lower res than the rest, but they're definitely cool. You can see them both in the SFZ2 Background page or links to their bigger versions here (Australia) and here (Venezuela). Scouring through other strategy guides, I may have other stuff to scan in. See if I get the time to do so!

For those of you who have the Versus Books strategy guide for SFZ2/SFA2, you know that this is one of the best guides ever. A huge book packed with everything, an awesome layout and some cool art at the end, it remains my favorite. I checked it out again a few weeks ago and discovered the concept art for the level backgrounds. These are all fantastic, so I scanned in the entire lot. They're worth checking out and I scanned them all in at 300dpi. Enjoy!

SFZ2 Backgrounds

And here we are, so many years after SF2 came out and changed it all. I recall playing the original SF in the arcade, getting yelled at by my parents for sneaking across the highway to play. I remember the day I saw SF2 in the local arcade. Watching Ryu's animation, bouncing up and down, lines of people waiting to play. SF3's anticipation was almost as incredible as the fluid animation. Now, SF4.

And to think, I started running this site back in 2002. It's been 6 years?!

You know what this update is about. Click through for the first high-res Street Fighter IV official artwork!

SFIV Revealed!

Psyched about this! Certainly you already know of this. Well, my first gallery is now up! This is SF3:NG Sketches! All 12 characters are included here, and these are awesome. Some have the insert coin text overlaying, but it'll do for now. Here are your samples!

SF3 Sketches

I've put up a bunch of new logos to the Logo Gallery. This includes some of the missing games from before, SSF2: Tournament Battle, Street Fighter Collections 1 & 2, XSF: EX, MSF: EX and MVC: EX. It's a bit nuts, but quite cool. Enjoy!

I just started my studies towards my Master's degree and so the next 18 months are going to be hell. I've been spread too thin for a long time now, and this certainly will not help things.

However, there are some old galleries that I've tidied up for presentation. These aren't anything new, but they are cool IMO.

The first is a complete Chun-Li Gallery. It's quite extensive, and includes captures of every color swap in every game + official art. Of course, by extensive, I mean insane, but I've no doubt that someone out there will appreciate it. And by appreciate it, I mean steal everything from it. *sigh*

The second is an exhaustive Logo Gallery. This includes a ton of stuff, US, Euro and Japanese alternate titles (SF2'Plus for instance). Another thing that I did simply b/c I thought it was interesting. Enjoy it! I may have more on there if I get a few other caps. I'm looking for SSF2: Tournament Battle, Darkstalkers 3, and the EX Edition versions of the Marvel Vs. games (all Japanese). There are 69 different logos there now, that could grow fairly easily.

Looking through some older files on the site, I noticed some hadn't been updated since 2002. That made me think. It was 5 years ago that I had taken ill and created these pages! That was on my birthday in February of 2002. Happy Anniversary to myself! By contrast, my first site will be turning 12 this year. My, I'm getting old!

Anyways, you may have heard about the impending re-re-releases. Super Street Fighter II X and Super Puzzle Fighter II X will be released in HD later this year on the PS3, Xbox360 and PC (SPF2X only) platforms, all through online distribution. Seeing as how each have graced virtually every platform since their releases a decade+ ago, this isn't quite newsworthy. However, considering the fact that Udon Comics is redrawing sprites and art for it, this makes it very notable!!! For SSFIIX, it is said that the graphics themselves will receive a facelift, but the game code shall remain the same. I am a big fan of the SF Comics art, I'm quite excited about Udon's involvement. For the puzzler, the same shall hold true (also including the recent gameplay updates for the PSP port). However, they've also released the redrawn art for the series. This makes 3 different versions of the same art all listed below. Seeing as how it's some of my favorite, I'm not going to complain! The images, posted over at Gamespot are all in sweet, high-res quality (>1kx1k), so take a peek at the comparisons below, and head to Series 1b!

Gem/Pocket/Puzzle Fighter
Series 1	Series 1a	Series 1b

Finally, I updated the SF Game List to include these titles and some other ones I had missed. That list is massive!

Late Update!
Rare double update! Well, I took a peek at Puzzle Fighter and after re-capping stuff yesterday, I wanted to see if larger images were available. The screen-selection images were rather small, but the win round screens had the full images! All were there, barring Dan, who you're just given a small sprite. Anyways, I updated series Series 3, again!

Early Update
Matching the official art in Series 2 of the Gem/Pocket/Puzzle Fighter gallery is the win screen art from Gem Fighter. These GIFs are the same art, but I like 'em, so I decided to capture them. BTW, Photoshop CS2 has a great tool in helping make cropping that much easier! Check out the new rips in Series 2a. Samples? Oh, OK.

Gem/Pocket Fighter

Someone pointed out to my my overly poor JPG format captures in Gem/Pocket/Puzzle Fighter gallery #3. Since it was a quick thing to fix, I went back and re-captured them all in GIF format. Much better quality now! This contains all 10 characters from the Super Puzzle Fighter 2X game. Good stuff!

Javier asked me a while ago about getting Maki art from the GBA or PSP version of SFZ3. Unfortunately, other than the tiny edits I had in the first SFZ3 art series, I didn't have anything. He reminded me of an app for the PSP which allows you to perform screen captures! Therefore, I've gotten up a few extra bits of art in the SFZ3 galleries! Series 2 contains the 3 new characters portrat art, and Series 3 has 4 unedited win poses. None are the best quality, and all pale in comparison to the GIFs I've ripped from the arcade versions, but they'll do, and they complete some of the sets on the site. Enjoy, and many thanks to Javier!

I've just completed another move, hopefully the last for quite some time (purchased a home, expect it to be!) After so many changes, I'm excited about having my own place, however, getting my net connection going is taking some time. Hrmph. In the meantime, I have been informed of the re-release of the SFII anime here in the states. Something I have been looking forward to, this is the real version of the original anime from a decade ago. It's also uncut, so those who have always yearned to see the Chun-Li shower scene should be happy.

What I am unsure of is whether or not this will have the original Japanese audio w/ English subs. Since it's Manga, I expect it to be. I certainly hope so! For those purchasing, you'll be pleased to know that Udon Comics is including a mini-comic with the release. I liked their art of the series so much that there's a Comic Cover Gallery here on the site.

The DVD comes out on the 18th of July with pre-booking options starting on the 7th. The full-length movie runs at 110 minutes and carries a $19.98 price tag.

While I don't have a gallery for this, here are some images from the anime. I definitely look forward to this release and cross my fingers for Japanese dialogue!

Big update today, something that's taken me a while to get to.

Capcom Fighting Jam / Capcom Fighting Evolution

Well, first off, I have new logos for these, and both look good. Had to edit them, but got them looking quite nice. The big update is a complete set of art, courtesy of Capcom Europe. This includes all 21 characters (4 each from 5 games) + Ingrid, however Pyron isn't available. All are high resolution and I'm glad to have this art on the site, finally, even if I'm not a fan of the game. Check out the updated Capcom Fighting Jam / Capcom Fighting Evolution page for more.

The next 2 updates are from Ryuuko. The first is an addition to the SF3:3S section. This comes in the form of a new poster (and a higher res version of the existing one) and a new set of art! There are still some galleries out there to find, and this is a great one! While I can only find enough to replace half a set of the profiles (what I have isn't the best), this set includes all 20 characters, including Gill and separate art for Yun/Yang. All are very high quality, with the girls Makoto, Chun-Li and Ibuki being somewhat smaller than the others. It's an excellent addition to the site.

Finally is a long-overdue update to the last installment into the EX series. All 3 major series have had 3 titles, numbered, Zero and EX and the art for the latter is pretty sweet. I'd a pair of galleries prior which were low res and not very good. However, once again thanks to Ryuuko, I've updated the site with a full set of high-res art! Some good stuff in here and almost all characters have a very serious look to them. Highly recommended, as always!

Here are your snapshot previews of the day w/ their accompanying links, of course!

CFJ	SF3:3S	SFEX3

Finally, the Street Fighter Alpha Anthology will be hitting stores this month. It's a long-overdue collection of all the Zero/Alpha titles. I'm almost certain we're looking at a port of Street Fighter Zero 2 Alpha from the CPS2 board, rather than Street Fighter Zero 2' / Alpha 2 Gold that appeared on the PS1 and SS. In addition, it's been verified that the 3rd game is a port from the console version of SFZ3/SFA3, which includes all the extra characters. For those wondering, this doesn't include those new fighters that appeared on the GBA/PSP game, nor does it include any enhancements made for SFZ3U which came out in arcades. What a long-convoluted history the series has! In any event, here are some assets you might be interested in regarding the series, including some wallpapers and a pair of humorous commercials (from YouTube)

In checking out Capcom Japan's site, I found the logo for the new SF Zero collection. Titled Street Fighter Zero: Fighter's Generation, the site confirms that it is indeed SFZ2A coming out in the collection. The home port was SFZ2' if you remember, and so this means that it's merely a port. No Shin Gouki, Cammy, etc. Well, it's still a collection and further proves (IMO) that the PS2 is the console of this last generation. Every game I really wanted came out on it, particularly in Japan. Anyways, here's the logo, and an update to the SF Zero Logo Page has received an update. 18 logos in all for the Zero/Alpha series.

SFZ:FG

Almost 3 years to day after starting this site, it is finally complete!

I went through 3 site designs before I settled on this one and so there was some very old code in here. What was once a page to keep track of what I needed to do, here you will find a complete Site Map. Everything on the site should be contained here.

For anyone interested, I disabled outside referrals. Therefore, if you are trying to use art from these pages as an avatar, or within a post on a message board, it will not work. I came across some pretty persistent people, so I opted to disable this entirely.

If you have a legitimate reason, please let me know and maybe we can work something out. Otherwise, I was simply tired of it.
