Kick, Punch, Ultra Combo, It’s All in the Mind
How about one more Thousand Pounds Street Fighter IV-combos-in-real-life video? (it’s apparently their last one). There’s nothing much new to say, but it’s still immensely entertaining, and still a little depressing that these guys exist and yet we somehow ended up with The Legend of Chun Li. I know I’ve praised the choreography, the editing and the special effects of these things before, but the cinematography on this video is simply amazing, too. Seriously, Capcom. Do yourself and every Street Fighter fan a favor and let these guys make an SF web series like Mortal Kombat is doing. Pretty please? (Via Kotaku)

Under his tenure Topless Robot was covered by Gawker, Wired, Defamer, New York magazine, ABC News, and others, and his articles have been praised by Roger Ebert, Avengers actor Clark Gregg, comedian and The Daily Show correspondent John Hodgman, the stars of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and Rifftrax, and others.
