The Kick-Ass Capcom Art of Kinu Nishimura

Former Capcom artist Kinu Nishimura is one of those people who, if I grabbed you and said WHO IS KINU NISHIMURA, you would scream and say I HAVE NO IDEA.

Then I'd show you some of her work, mostly from Capcom's legendary fighting game series, and you'd be all "Oohhhhh, it's her. Awesome!"

This woman really knows her way around a piece of paper.

I always wondered who did alternate art with NONA for Capcom vs SNK but I had no idea she had hands in Street Fighter 3 as well.

The picture of Kyo and Sakura is priceless. XD

How Street Fighter IV Saved 2D Fighting Games (Ft. Maximilian Dood)

After Street Fighter II released in in 1991, it caused a fighting game explosion, both in arcades and in home consoles. But, as the decade ended, and arcades were failing, so too were 2D Fighting games. This is how Street Fighter IV completely revitalized the genre.

I'd say Blazblue helped too. Didn't care for Street Fighter 4, but Blazblue was amazing during that time. Sad that the series kind of went downhill after the first 2 or 3 games though.

BlazBlue was phenomenal. Platinum'd Calamity Trigger because I loved it so much. I remember buying Continuum Shift back in the day at launch for like $40. They did have DLC characters (Valkenhayne, Makoto, and Platinum at the time) and it came out to just a tad more than it would at full price. Didn't mind at all.

Great fighting game.

Snookies12313d ago

Continuum Shift was definitely my favorite. Spent way too many hours on that game, haha... Had the counters for days with Hakumen.

DarXyde313d ago

I really like Makoto, Valkenhayne, and Hazama. Super fun characters

Terry_B313d ago

Valkenhayn ..just sayin'

Terry_B314d ago

BlazBlue was the much better, more technical game..and a real 2D Fighting Game after all. But yes, since it was a big name..the characters were still popular and the game itself was good, SFIV indeed helped a lot. However, I am pretty sure the much better-selling Mortal Kombat 9 would have been done without SFIV as well..and that one truly helped to make the fighting game genre in general more popular again.

You’re sound dumb. Blazblue was not better than sf4. You’re just saying that because you’re a street fighter hater.

The content of IV was severely lacking when it launched. It got better over time.
