‘STREET FIGHTER’ Box Set Is OSTENTATIOUS AWESOMENESS; F**k Yeah 25 Years
Street Fighter is turning 25 and its partying a bit harder than my girlfriend who recently did the same. Kapow! Capcom is dropping a box set of biblical proportions, and if I was the Street Fighter fetishist I was back in my youth I may take a run at this.
