With the release of the much anticipated Street Fighter IV on its way, fashion label Triumvir has released the Super Street Fighter collection to get you even more hyped. Even if you could care less about Street Fighter IV, these retro tees based on the classic Street Fighter II game will get you excited.
All the characters are here! From Ryu, M. Bison and Balrog, to the sometimes forgotten about Dee Jay and Sagat Tee!
Man, this Super Street Fighter collection sure takes me back. I remember obsessively trying to beat that game back when I was nine. Perhaps it is time for a long overdue rematch. Better wear my Guile tee for good luck.
