Throw Hadoukens In Your Living Room With Street Fighter On Kin

[Nujui]

The Kinect genie refuses to return to the bottle. Here an enterprising modder rigs up his PC to play Street Fighter IV with Kinect, including shoryukens and hadoukens (and Ken). The video features actual gameplay versus the CPU.

Modder demize2010 wrote the scripts to work with FAAST, the open-source Kinect driver, and another to enable a Nunchuk for movement ("'Cause we're not ninjas," says demize2010). After a brief demonstration, its on to an actual fight against Guile on the game's easiest difficulty setting.

demize2010, noting the game's online multiplayer support, opened up his work, with links to the drivers involved and his script on the movie's YouTube page. How long until we see human-vs-human Street Fighter Kinect?

thats awesome, someday with like kinetic 2.0 or what ever is next, kids will be able to play street fighter w/o a controller, just think of what other games like smash bros that would be pretty cool

Meh. Impressive but I find it not fun at all.

Sure you could do this.

But if you're REALLY cool you'd get after effects and do this:

Sounds like the idea Yoshi Ono was talking about, before the 3DS was announced he wanted to make a Street Fighter for Wii in which you had to punch using the Wiimote and Nunchuk ('Street Fighter Fit'

)

Does this mean that when you play SF on Kinect you have to actually beat up the other guy irl? O_O
