Battle Thrasher II

I may not be able to make an actual video game but I can design and illustrate what my ideal video game would be: a combination of heavy metal/punk music and fighting games.

While fighting games have come a long way over the years since Street Fighter II blew up in arcades (or gas stations, which is where a young me discovered it in the 90’s) I miss the hand-drawn, frame animation of the 90’s era CAPCOM and SNK titles like Street Fighter Alpha, Dark Stalkers, Fatal Fury, and Samurai Shodown.

I brought that spirit and style to what a modern fighting game with that animated look and feel, combined with heavy metal could look like in the modern video gaming world.
