Capcom 25th Anniversary Street Fighter Documentary

Did you grow up playing Street Fighter when you were a kid? I KNOW I DID! I was a huge fan, and loved hitting up the arcades at the mall to both watch and play. Not only was it a hit at arcades, but even local video game retailers were throwing a couple open tournaments for people to enter their store and battle one another on-screen…and I’m sure the extra business was a nice plus.

Street Fighter is but a game to some, but a life and it’s own sub-culture for others. Capcom delves deep into the cultural phenomenon to expose both the intricacies of the game dynamics, interviews with game developers, and first-account stories and memories of fans and even top ranked world players. Have you heard of the Evo Championship Series? Seriously, the tourney is gigantic, beyond any other tournament, and brings back the drive, lust, and power of the game to fans and spectators as they both cheer and jeer the best players in the world.

I’ll admit, each recollection of player’s memories made me remember my own experiences with the game. Evolving from button mashing to mastering a couple exclusive combos and specials. It really is a journey. Only the best make it to the top – and no joke, their understanding of the game is beyond most of us. Frame counting just makes it silly; understanding how long a move takes in order to avoid, block, or counter. I can’t imagine the training that they do, nor can I imagine the feeling of being on stage to compete, but this video does help to suggest a palpable, maybe distant understanding of what it would be like.

Until you watch this, you really don’t understand how much of an impact Street Fighter actually had and continues to have in both video game, and the overall culture of our generation. Check it out already!!

Our Fancy New Digs

After a lot of effort, I’m talking…many many cups of coffee and sleepless nights, I would like to present Fresh From Birth’s brand new website. The website sports a new look, new features, better technology, and will be a vehicle for our growth. The site has a slightly more minimal nature to it. A big effort was placed on typography, colors, placement, etc. At the expense of sounding GEEK, which I am fluent in, there are some real ‘neat’ *cough* enhancements that have been made to make the site’s usability better.

We’re not done by a long shot, however, this site is some much needed fresh air. Hit us up on Facebook & Twitter if you like what we’re doing!

Caring for Your Order

We put a little bit of us in every package. Fans of our buttons & stickers receive their FFB creations via these Japanese craft paper envelopes, purchased when we traveled to Tokyo, Japan. Like the Japanese, we take the time with each order, and individually print, label, and pack each item. Just another way we show that we care for you, after all, you’re supporting our dream to continue producing our creations; whether the medium is apparel, or accessories.
