Street Fighter IV premiere party photos

In the past week I've been to two events surrounding a big month for "Street Fighter." Sunday was a low key screening of the "Street Fighter: Legend of Chun-Li" movie that was co-financed by Capcom and Hyde Park and will be released by Fox next Friday. (It's not getting the red carpet premiere treatment in the U.S.)

But last Thursday was a blow-out party by Capcom for the release of "Street Fighter IV." Fans were lined up around the block to get in, where there were dozens (maybe over 100?) stations with the game, along with lots of cool "Street Fighter" inspired art. I could describe it, but better yet, awesome photographer and friend of the Cut Scene Charlie Chu was on hand and took some great pictures.

If you like his work, check out Charlie's full portfolio and get in touch with him via flickr.

Yes, this game looks this photorealistic
