The best gifts for Street Fighter fans

If you can wait until later in 2023, then Razer’s promising Kitsune fighting stick will debut for PS5 and PC. It looks sleek, with RGB lights beaming out from the sides.

If playing the older games on newer consoles just isn’t doing it for you, then Arcade1Up’s arcade replica fits the bill. It includes several Street Fighter titles, as well as some of Capcom’s other arcade hits.

There’s no better way to show your appreciation for a game than by getting a vinyl copy of the soundtrack. This double vinyl set includes two beautiful LP sleeves that double as art.

Most people might miss the space for a full arcade replica of Street Fighter 2. Instead, check out this desk-friendly replica featuring the full Champion Edition game with arcade controls.

Some Street Fighter gifts are a little (okay – terribly) cheeky. The Tubbz rubber duck incorporated in Dhalsim is one of them. They also come in Ken, Guile, E. Honda and Zangief varieties.

The Street fighter 2 character selection screen has come to life (well, more or less) with the Pix Brix puzzle. Choose your favorite fighter (or buy all 8), then assemble each 768-piece puzzle.

While terrifying in the game, this Stubbins Blanka plush turns into something both adorable and goofy.

The chibi versions of popular Street Fighter, Darkstalkers and other Capcom hits are all featured on this adorable t-shirt from Etsy seller GamingTee.

What else do I really have to say here? These mugs from Etsy seller FFGStore come in E. Honda and Ryu variants, both of which look great.

You don’t have to be a big fan of it Street fighter 2 to remember that in the game you have to beat up a car. But you have to be a big fan to want to preserve that moment with this 9-inch by 9-inch frame.

Delve deeper into the Street Fighter universe with Udon Entertainment’s comics. Start with the hardcover for Volume 1 and work your way through all 10 volumes.

Before Street Fighter was a game, the creators were clearly influenced by The street fighter, a series of 1970s martial arts films starring Sonny Chiba. The movies also featured X-ray style finishers long before Mortal Kombat popularized them.

To say Street Fighter II was a franchise in its own right is an understatement. In addition to the three versions of the game, there was this spin-off animated series in 1995 that does justice to the series.

Street Fighter fans should also see the animated movie that debuted in 1996. While the final version is a hard-to-find Blu-ray, it’s great that it’s easy to rent or buy.
