The search for Asia’s greatest Street Fighter

Sony has been scouring Asia to search for the greatest warrior on Street Fighter IV and the finals took place in Hong Kong. Two Hong Kong locals and one from Taiwan and one from South Korea battled it out in a public showcase of virtual combat. The game is the latest descendant in the Street Fighter lineage that extends back to 1987. In February 2009, it was the highest sold game in the US with over a million copies.

The champion play about 12 hours of Street Fighter IV a day. That’s a full time job!!

Get Streetfighter IV for PS3, XBOX360, or your PC.
