These Real-Life Street Fighter Combos Will Smash Your Face

​

Street Fighter [http://www.amazon.com/Super-Street-Fighter-IV-Playstation-3/dp/B002TDIEEK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1299092402&sr=8-1] combos are cool, but Street Fighter combos in real life? That's downright awesome. (And brutal, too.)

The Thousand Pounds Action Company has put out its latest and greatest video featuring nearly five minutes of Street Fighter-style combos played out in teeth-rattling real life. It's pretty spectacular stuff and each fight ends with an appropriate (and hilarious) KO. This is actually the final of three "Ultra Combos" videos and while it's definitely the longest and the best, the other two are worth checking out (here [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i3Sm444_zOw]) as well.

The Thousand Pounds Action Company was formed in Los Angeles in January 2010 and includes actors, stunt performers, visual effects artists, editors, directors and fight choreographers. The Naruto Shippuden [http://www.facebook.com/ThousandPoundsActionCompany] called Naruto Shippuden: Dreamers Fight.

Now sit back and enjoy the show!

Catchphrase!

Saw this on shoryuken.com the other day. Good stuff, done with an obvious love the genre but also a sly sense of humour.

Again, why is it that people with half the budget and time always make better adaptations?! Someone stand up and give these people a real chance at making a proper movie.

I saw the first one of these a while ago and it actually inspired me to get Super Street Fighter IV.
I didn't know they'd made any more. So this news post has made me happy.

Thank you, Escapist.

Awesome, but the most memorable part was, "MY FIGHT MONEY!"


Oh, you, Balrog...

 

[The_root_of_all_evil]

I prefer this one for some reason...

Shed a single tear at the beach scene with the seagulls. . Just so awesome. xD

 

[Grahav]

"You lose" + Guile's theme = I win

 

[Distorted Stu]

Okay, i cant say im not impressed. That was amazing. Must of been so muich fun to make!!

I love love a Tekken one, but that may just be my fanboyism.

 

[Dragonborne88]

I love these guy's style. It really adds a lot when they have the flash of Street Fighter, and yet are choreographed in such a way that they COULD be possible (if impractical). Except the Shin-Shoryuken at the end there. That was just cheating on his part.

Oh I dunno...

 

[6unn3r]

Oh wow thats awsome stuff!!

 

[standokan]

That was pure awesomeness.

 

[ShadowKatt]

My god, that actually makes me want to get street fighter. But I've never played a street fighter game in my life....

 

[Dectilon]

Was that a King (from Tekken) multi-throw at the end there?

 

[Calcium]

"MY FIGHT MONEYYYY!!!"

Okay, that video was just awesome. Even the music was great, and some of the fight backdrops were pretty impressive too; liked the beach best.

 

[Rad Party God]

Oh my goodness, I've been playing Street Fighter IV a lot last month, this just reinforces my love for that game and it inspired me to play it a bit more. I just hope someday Capcom releases Super Street Fighter IV on the PC... or at least before I buy a PS3.

"Art through adversity". Less resources, more creativity.

With fighting games undergoing a massive resurgence, there's no better time than now to start. Just pick the one that interests you the most and get rolling.
