Capcom Comic-Con Happenings

Jul 22, 2008 // DVD

A lot will be happening at Comic-Con this week, and Capcom will be there with a veritable boatload of things to see and do! With the convention set to start in only two days, we thought we’d break down a few of the things to look out for while on the show floor.

Street Fighter IV Tournament

Be one of the first to play the final arcade version of Street Fighter IV straight from Japan! Think you’re good enough to take on all challengers? Throw you name in Capcom’s literal boxing ring and join in on our twice-daily SF4 Tournaments to win fame, cred and prizes such as the limited-edition Chun-Li statue signed by producer Yoshinoro Ono himself, or a fully-loaded AT&T smartphone with Street Fighter Eternal Challenge already loaded! Tournaments run daily at 11am and 3pm, but you must sign up first thing every morning to get a chance to play.

Calling ALL SF COSPLAYERS!

Friday is Street Fighter Cosplay day as we send the call out for ANY and ALL SF cosplayers to congregate at the Capcom booth on Friday at 2pm to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Street Fighter as well as the premiere of Street Fighter IV. SF4 producer, Yoshinoro Ono, will be presenting a special “Making of SF4” multimedia presentation at the Capcom booth and afterwards will personally judge the attending SF cosplayers in a variety of categories. Winners will receive an exclusive, limited-edition Chun-Li statue personally autographed by Ono-san himself. The ultimate Street Fighter collector’s item for any SF fan!

Our only rule for entry: you must dress better than this guy…

Celebrity Appearances and Free Stuff!

It wouldn’t be a convention without some famous people and a ton of free schwag, and the Capcom booth will be delivering on both fronts! Kristin Kreuk, star of Smallville and the upcoming Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li, will be gracing the Capcom booth with her presence, along with Udon artists Adam Hughes and J. Scott Campbell. Producers of Street Fighter IV, Yoshinoro Ono and David Clislip, and Bionic CommandoProducer Ben Judd will also be on hand to chat,  and we can’t forget Mega Man and Bionic Commando himself! Both heroes will be roaming the convention floor ready to mingle with fans; you might even be lucky enough to wear the actual Bionic Commando arm prop!

If that isn’t enough to bring you on over to our booth, we’ll be handing out some great free goodies, including an exclusive SF4 Ryu headband, Dark Void frisbee flyer, and SF4 and Bionic Commando posters, along with Capcom mints, lanyards, and character tattoos.

So, if you’ll be at San Diego Comic-Con this week, be sure to stop by the Capcom booth and check out all the great stuff we’ll be showing off. See you there!
