Host Eammonn Dignam concludes our three-part special series Beyond the Controller: The World Warriors by exploring the broader roster of Capcom’s Street Fighter universe. We break down arcade icons Zangief and E. Honda, revealing the wrestling roots and button-mashing mechanics that defined 1990s competitive gaming. Then, we uncover the tragic backstory behind Dhalsim’s skull necklace, Vega’s sadistic obsession with beauty and blood in Shadaloo, and how parody character Dan Hibiki was connected directly to Gouken’s dojo and Sagat’s missing eye.
