For all the hype and craziness over the new Street Fighter i thought i would share one of my little treasures...
While in the UK around 3 years ago i came across a comic store called "TRAVELING MAN" which really send the game/comic nerd flailing in giddy hormonal joy when upon the store opening i visited everyday (the thing was practically at my door). It was here i decided to donate all my money in exchange for beautiful artwork in the form of comics and sketchbooks.
One of my favorite purchases (even now) is the 15th anniversary Art book for the STREETFIGHTER franchise. And along with that some of UDON's awesome comic alt covers n such.
....fast forward to last month and i am in Budapest Hungary and there is a small Gamer store that is stocked full of old ass Arcade controllers and figurines the rest of East Europe didn't buy. And amongst them the 15th Anniversary controllers for the PS2 and sadly only 3 of the 4 in the collection.
So for your viewing pleasure and all those that have that geek in them.......Crappy pics i have put together for ya'll.
Thank my girlfriend for the layout.
oh and if anyone knows of someone with the KEN controller.... i may , just may look into a purchase....
enjoy!

@jdub28 : the coolest thing is there are some awesome interviews with EVERYONE involved in the original games... with even stories about the original arcade and the "secret" moves (= Hadoken) .... and then even stories about people attempting said secret moves and resulting in what was called a "failed Hadoken" (= Shinryuken) .... just cool.
