Ryu Takes Up the Mic in Street Fighter High School Musical

Why fight in the streets when you can settle things with a dance battle?


Back in April [http://www.capcom-unity.com/jgonzo/blog/2010/04/21/street_fighter_high_-_just_like_high_school,_only_hadoukenier], a group of Street Fighter fans made a silly little video that infused the classic fighter with a healthy dose of high-school drama. It was kind of like Smallville or Buffy, only with less Kryptonite or vampires and more Hadoukens.

It turns out that they same group is busy working on a sequel, only this time around things are getting, shall we say ... more melodious. The above video is the trailer for the follow-up, Street Fighter High: The Musical. You get a sense of what the full thing will be like really from the moment Dan Hibiki starts to apply chapstick and asks "Would you fight me? I'd fight me," and it only goes places from there. Strange, somehow appealing places.

No, you probably won't get to see Zac Efron take a Shoryuken to the face, but really, isn't this the next best thing?

...Would you fight me?

I'll fight me..."

Oh yeah, thiw is going to be awesome.

 

[TheEvilCheese]

It... hurrts

Just... destroying my childhood in one foul swoop.

 

[The DSM]

It... it...

For the first time in my life I dont know what to think, im scared...

 

[Jared]

Im not too sure what to say about that...but...im scared lol. I can never look at Ryu the same way again!

 

[random123456789]

well this is ... ermmm ... yeah ...
this is going to be a either EPIC!!!!! or FAIL!!!!
hopefully EPIC!!!!

 

[are.you.the.god.its.me.vader]

I'd fight me....

Woah, my childhood has been raped.

 

[SnugglesPanda]

They already released a 10 minute video of just them in high school, not the musical part. I thought it was pretty funny.

 

[Rarhnor]

Kill it already. Stop it. For GOD's sake, do SOMETHING!

As wrong as it is, the fact that it was funny, wierded me out a bit.

 

[The_root_of_all_evil]

Awesome.

But needs more Chun Li.

 

[Polarix]

Wow, I have only one reaction to that.
Now excuse me while I go on murderous rampage and kill all who is responsible for this travesty of a video and the entire cast of High School Musical for making it possible that this... thing exsists.

Nah, I'm just joking I can't do that but it still makes me mad that this exists.

 

[V8 Ninja]

I'm not sure if I should be afraid or VERY afraid...

 

[Amethyst Wind]

I have to say, the first video (the non-musical one), the guy who played Dhalsim just walked off with the entire show, utterly destroyed everyone else's performances in comparison.

 

[Timbydude]

This will either be hilarious or one of the worst videos ever made.

 

[Grahav]

OK. Who else feels unbelivebly nerd right now for thinking this is funny?

 

[maddog015]

I think it looks hilarious and completely over the top. Going to watch the original video to see how that one was.

 

[IamQ]

love the beginning. Epic reference to Clerks 2.

 

[SharPhoe]

"Hadou-kan't miss"?
Oh, dear, it hurts already. Lord, give me strength to make it through the rest of this alive...

Aaaand now that I've finished it...
That actually wasn't as bad as I had first figured. Juri and the Dolls were a nice touch. And why do I feel like I should know that guy dressed as Bison from somewhere else?

 

[SageRuffin]

Wow... I say god damn...

The worst part? Some people here honestly think that blasphemous nonsense up there is better than, say, this:
Or this:
I swear... people...

Oh, have a sense of humor. And then listen to this epicness [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/100688-Rock-Out-With-A-Fantastic-52-Minute-Street-Fighter-Mix-Tape].
