The Zero Setsu's fighting game art gorgeously pays tribute to Third Strike, Marvel vs. Capcom 2, and other iconic titles
We're featuring yet another talented fighting game artist on the site today as we peep the beautiful work of The Zero Setsu, lover of Third Strike, Marvel vs. Capcom 2, and muscles.
Most Capcom fighting games come with a few fresh visual styles as promotional art often differs from in-game art, and through Setsu's work we see some interesting influences as characters appear in something of a cross between 3S, MvC2, and the artist's own style.
The gallery starts off with Chun-Li in an... interesting pose that makes her look like she may be in mid Matrix bullet dodge. She retains her usual flowing grace, somehow, but we see from the sweat on her brow and the look on her face she's definitely in the middle of something.
Next we spot Juri completely customized by Setsu. Her hair and her pose are the only real giveaways that this is indeed the Spider everyone knows and loves from Street Fighter 4.
We were also impressed by look at Dudley in more traditional boxing attire. Instead of his usual, gentlemanly appearance, he's simply got a world champ belt and some boxing trunks on. While we certainly appreciate our high society Dudley, we can't say we dislike this one at all.
Our favorite of the bunch might be the small Makoto launching the massive Hugo up into the air with a single punch, but that Marvel vs. Capcom 2 scene with Spidey, Ruby, and Jill is a contender as well. Check out the full gallery below and share with us your favorites in the comments.
