Street Fighter: Where Are They Now [part 2]

September 27, 2013 By ausretrogamer

We shuddered when we saw what had become of Ryu, Zangief and Guile in the first part of Street Fighter: Where Are They Now.

Prepare yourself for part 2, as Arman Akopian (aka: I-GUYJIN-I) shows us exactly what Cyber Vega and Chun-Li have been up to and where Fei Long has been for the last three years.

Street Fighter: Where Are They Now

June 12, 2013 By ausretrogamer

Ever wondered what has become of your favourite Street Fighter? Wonder no more! The talented Canadian 2D and 3D artist, Arman Akopian (aka: I-GUYJIN-I) has taken it upon himself to collate and show us what has happened to our favourite Street Fighters in the ‘Street Fighter Chronicles’.

Time hasn’t been too kind to our fighters – did you know that Zangief found God! I am still devastated to what has become of my favourite fighter, Ryu – very sad indeed.
