Polygon

Street Fighter an Oral History

Polygon asked me to illustrate the banner and accompanying portraits of the creative team behind the much troubled story of Street Fighter 3. The developers were coming off the unprecedented success of Street Fighter 2.

With expectations at an all time high, added competition from Namco and self-imposed pressures to innovate - it all proved too much, rendering the initial release a failure. The Polygon article recounts the decisions and drama the team journeyed in making the now cult entry into the Street Fighter series.
