So… what is Capcom doing at Bungie? Fair question, but also easily answered: you see, Bungie is rad. They are not only chock full of great guys, they are chock full of great guys that are also Street Fighter nuts. I’ve known a few of their team for years, but I met a lot of new people as well, and was amazed at all of their stories of Street Fighter devotion.
Street Fighter fun-facts about Bungie:
--Their Street Fighter 3: Third Strike machine is one of very few pieces of equipment in the office wired directly to the backup diesel generators. Air? No. Water? Who needs that? Only their game development files and Street Fighter machine will survive a massive power outage.
--They have issued a standing challenge to any other studio on Street Fighter IV! I love anyone who puts their money where their mouth is.
--Almost everyone in their tournament had a story about how Street Fighter had shaped their gaming careers, from artists inspired to start in games by Street Fighter’s Akiman and Bengus, to designers who learned their chops analyzing SF mechanics.
--Bungie goes to EVO! This is a big part of what won me over—I have infinite respect for players at any skill level that accept the challenge of getting better and facing strong competition (and having fun!)
The Street Fighter IV tournament was intense, and Lico managed to edge out my friend Shiek for the championship, thereby inscribing his name on a historic bottle of truly awful tequila and earning a spot in the Bungie history books.
