17 hilarious faces of pain from Street Fighter X Tekken
Witness Capcom's incredible animation frames up close and personal
Welcome to our 'Faces of Pain' gallery for Street Fighter X Tekken
Capcom has honed its fighting engine to a sheen, enabling some incredible still frames and facial expressions. Most of the time, the action's moving far too quickly to truly take them all in, which is why we've made this gallery, allowing you to enjoy them at your leisure.
Cammy punches Guile, who appears to be a secret member of Kiss. Just look at that tongue!
Heihachi gives Zangief that horrible feeling you get when you bump your nose
Dhalsim proves that a dedication to yoga makes for an impressively expressive face
Oh, so THAT'S what it feels like to get dragon punched
To be honest, we're amazed Akuma's attack didn't scythe poor Asuka in two
Sagat isn't really using his elbow as a drill to get to Bob's fat, juicy brain
Bravo, Ryu - a contender for best expression in the game
Poison gives Lili a slap so hard she motion blurs. That's gotta smart...
The bigger they come, the stupider the facial expression when they fall
Sagat's face seems to say 'my neck's not meant to bend like that'
You can hear the snap from here. Ouch
Ouch - a stilleto to the head. It's really not Lili's day, is it?
Rufus appears to be wearing comedy 'eye-pop' glasses. But he's not
Look at Law's face. Not so much in pain as knowing there's about to be a lot of it
Where's the face here? Look carefuly... look some more... there it is!
Another grimace from Ryu as Asuka goes to town
Go on then, you're twisting my arm. Wait, I mean... AAAAAAAARGH!
Enjoy all those? Then you're probably going to enjoy the game itself. So, if you haven't already done so, why not check out our review? The score definitely won't make you wince like these guys are.
