Now this is what I love dearly about PC gaming. Sure we don't get some of the great titles (damn you Blizinski) but look on the bright side we get plenty of other marvelous stuff for the titles we have. The same was expected of Street Fighter 4 as soon as it was released on PC.
Within a short time modders had already started working on it and brought out some of the finest custom made skins there is. In addition to that our hard working modders even brought out a nude patch for the game. Take that consoles, hoorah.
The credit for the skins goes directly to the Shoryuken Community. Here are, in my view the top 10 SFIV skins for PC.
10. Ryu (Goku)
It was sad to see such less creativity on Ryu's costume design. I mean he is practically the character around which the Street Fighter Universe revolves. The best they could come up with was to drag Goku here. But I guess I can see the similarities. Both practice martial arts, both are considered super strong beings and hell both shoot fireballs. But hold on, Goku had a monkey tail... Who want's to check Ryu out?
09. Blanka (Lobo)
An awesome skin in my opinion. Blanka as lobo looks even more meaner. Lobo is a DC character, strong has hell, bent on destruction and drives a hog. I don't suppose Blanka will be in favor of riding one but he looks good in Lobo's shorts.
08. Sagat (Kratos)
The God of War is back. Kratos probably was bored since the launch of GOW3 is far away. Hence, he did a surprised entry on SFIV...yeah right. Sagat considered awfully over powering and imbalanced in the game can now kick even more butt in the shoes of Kratos. The tattoos seem alright but the over all feel... I just don't like it. They could have done much better with Sagat in my opinion. He wears an eye patch for crying out loud. Make him Blackbeard or something.
07. Zangief (Mr T)
Zangief has been overdone in them all. He has the most skins in total. Over here he's shown as the defender of good, the unique haircut hero, Mr T. Hair cut (Check), Rings (Check), Army pants and boots (Double Check), Chains (....) You got it. The modders forgot about Mr T's extensive set of gold chains that he wears around his neck. That should have been there. It's what makes him pity the fool. It would have made the skin super. ITS T TIME!
06. Blanka (Berserker)
This skin is super. I mean just look at it. Blanka seems ready to outdo the joker. Those crazy eyes will look even crazier once the camera zooms in for the ultimate combo strikes. I just wish he had gotten a big clown smile...
05. Dhalsim (Gandhi)
It's okay to laugh because I did too. Are they ingenious or what? Gandhi in Street Fighter? I mean it goes against all of his beliefs. But hell check out his costume. Everything perfectly done, down to even his glasses. Oh my God, this skin is gold. Very very impressive work.
04. Zangief (Hulk Hogan)
We have Zangief again in our top 10 list. This time he's the American hero Hulk Hogan. This skin is going to be on the top downloaded list, believe you me. Who doesn't want to smash bones with Hogan? I just hope he does the "Can't hear you, shout louder" taunt.
03. Fei Long (Bruce Lee)
Boards don't hit back... that's why I play Street Fighter! When they first talked about making Fei Long's skin I was damn sure that it would be one of those tekken LAW skins where the Chinese guy is covered from head to toe in some oriental garb. But I never expected it to be this. The claw marks from "Enter The Dragon" Bruce Lee is back kids. Learn from his wisdom.
02. Cammy (Harley Quinn)
You might want to know that cammy has 3-4 other skins. One in which she is a sailor, another i which she is wearing a bikini, and another and another but if you want those kind of skins just install the nude patch wont you. Now this skin, the harley quinn... ah a classic. I get these nostalgic waves even now. It's like only yesterday when I was reading Batman comics. Anyway coming back to the topic, this skin is awesome, period.
01. Akuma (Glowing Veins)
And the winner is Akuma. This guy is my favorite character in the whole series. A superhuman that has even superseded Ryu, his past and powers shrouded in mystery. Regarding the skin, well its a simple one yet so elegant. Now that's a way to overwhelm your opponent. Make him see your glowing veins.
