“Speedyfists” fighting game speed-run charity event takes place on September 7th-9th

Since we at SRK are usually focused on the versus side of fighting games, we rarely get to see, or discuss, the skill behind single-player modes. If the world of speed running — completing a single player mode as fast as possible — is new to you, then you’ll want to check out the  third iteration of the”Speedfists” charity event, happening September 7th-9th.

This three-day fundraiser for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital plans to cover a staggering list of fighting games, which can be found here. And they aren’t just arcade mode runs — there’s a wide variety of challenges, and even some interesting glitch exhibitions, such as a Street Fighter II: The World Warrior Guile glitch showcase.

This unique event will be streamed from Speedyfists’s Twitch channel.
