Street Fighter Blocky Makeover...

If you thought Street Fighter couldn't devolve any further, try making the game using 15 pixels only... 15 PIXELS. That's what GameCity, a gaming festival held at the U.K, commissioned to have made by a design collective at an Alaskan Military School. The whole story can be found in Kotaku, but here's the video to show just how different things are when you replace sprites with blocks:

Interesting recreation, though I don't know whether to consider this as actual "Street Fighter" because of the blocky visuals. It has the sounds from the game blaring out though, so you'll recognize it immediately if you're a fan of the series.. I suppose this is one of those moments where you leave it up to your imagination and the visual cues from the boxes to interpret what the heck is going on. Obviously, it's Ken vs Blanka because of the Hadokens and Electric Shock you hear. Good thing we didnt have to play the games this way, or else it would be like fighting game Tetris without the satisfaction of seeing your opponent pummeled to the ground.
