One of the best parts about the exploding popularity of the Street Fighter scene is getting to know the players and personalities behind the sticks. The storylines that have grown and developed over the last few years–and have been propagated both in person and on all manner of social media–have made the matches all the more enthralling. With YouTube and Twitch paving the way for players to become their own brands, we know more about our Street Fighting idols than ever before.
Even so, it’s always exciting to be given the opportunity to get to know them a little better, and it seems that Capcom are more than happy to oblige. Matt Edwards, Capcom’s EU Community Manager, took to the floor at Stunfest this weekend to interview players from all over the globe, including Hiroyuki “HM|Eita” Nagata, Goichi “HM|Go1” Kishida and Chris “Rize|Cobelcog” McEntee. If you’ve ever wondered what’s going on between the ears of some of the best players Stunfest had to offer, this is exactly the interview series for you.
So why not find out what it’s like to be a world warrior, right from the players themselves? Check out the interviews below.
