On their official Unity Blog, Capcom's designers revealed that they have managed to convince Street Fighter IV producer Ono-san to get them to include the game's fans as background characters.
Here is what they have to say:
"What do you have to do to snag a spot in Street Fighter history? You send us... whatever (pictures, video, dissertation, limerick, daguerreotype, singing telegram) explaining why you should be in Street Fighter IV. Your reasons can be good or bad, great or small--doesn't matter. Champion player? World's biggest collector? Cosplayer supreme? Anonymous, undistinguished weirdo looking for the limelight? All are welcome to make their case."
Winners will also need to send us high-res shots of their faces for computer model-ification, and the deadline for this is TIGHT, so send in your entries NOW.
Entries should be sent to contest@capcom.com. All entries must be received by next Wednesday, June 18th.
In addition to your explanation of why we should have your face in our game, include name, age, phone number, and of course your email address.
