Makoto New Artwork (Streetfighter III 3rd Strike Online)

Here's a lovely artwork of our favorite hardcore karate girl, Makoto. This all-new portrait art is from the upcoming Streetfighter III 3rd Strike Online Edition, a new version of the 2D classic. This online-capable brawler will boast arcade-perfect gameplay, redone HD graphics and artwork and more goodies for the fighting game fan. Of course, for us foot fans it has lovely 2D sprites of Makoto (and fellow barefoot babe Ibuki) leaping and running about, kicking with her big, beautiful bare feet.


Makoto's toughness and cuteness are rendered well in this new artwork by artist Stanley Lau.

I really like this new portrait- it's much nicer than her original Third Strike portrait (that really made her look like a little boy, with tiny arms and huge feet that made her look pretty odd) and of course, has her tough but beautifully expressive feet drawn in nice detail. How tough those kick-hardened and callused feet must be, but their shape, defined toes and full soles and heels must be pretty sexy for the hardcore foot fan. I'll be sure to grab SF3 Online when it comes out later this year. For now, enjoy the artwork!

Streetfighter Legends: Ibuki #1 Preview!

In case you guys have forgotten, Streetfighter Legends: Ibuki #1 hits comic book store shelves tomorrow! Hailing from Udon Comics, this action-packed videogame-based mini-series stars the super-cute superninja Ibuki as she tries to survive a day at school... not easy when you've got a crazy Karate girl and relentless rival ninja after you! Not only does SFLI star the lovable barefoot kunoichi, it also has spunky SF3 karateka Makoto Rindo! It's safe to say that this comic ties-in with the upcoming Super Streetfighter IV game.


A Geki Ninja gets the drop on Ibuki...


Barefoot Ninja beats Tabi Ninja EVERYTIME!


Makoto's a wild card in this apparent Ninja War.

I've been waiting for this comic for months. Based on these preview pages, the comic is at least going to look great. Artist Omar Dogan's art is certainly clean, expressive and colorful. I hope there are lots of good foot shots with the babes' bare soles and toes are flying at our faces. This really looks like an entertaining read, regardless whether you're a footfan, SF-fan, manga/comic-fan or all of the above. In any case, it's sure to be something to occupy us as we wait for the actual Super Streetfighter IV game on our consoles. For now, enjoy the preview pages, and tomorrow- Get the Comic! I know I will. Heheh...

More Ibuki and Makoto! (Super Streetfighter IV)

With Super Streetfighter IV still several weeks away, we've all been starved of video starring our barefoot hotties from SF3. Well, thankfully that ends for now with these videos recently posted online! The first vid is from the recently-held CES2010 gaming event in Germany, and has a match vid featuring the Karateka and Kunoichi in combat. While it isn't the clearest vid around, at least we can see a lot of nice animations which give a good idea of how these martial arts cuties move in the game. Enjoy!


You can also find special Character Walkthrough videos from Gametrailer featuring Makoto and Ibuki here, or watch them on Youtube below. They give a good impression of how kick-ass the SF3 babes will be in the game, as well as give some nice views of some pretty videogame karateka and kunoichi feet! Man, I can't wait for SSFIV.

Makoto and Ibuki Gameplay Videos (Super Streetfighter IV)

If you thought yesterday's update was awesome...


Ibuki and Don, ready for battle!


Ibuki looks lovelier than ever in 3D.

FINALLY, we got the barefoot babes of Streetfighter III in 3D form! What can I say? The devs have scored and batted it out of the park! In my opinion, both Ibuki and Makoto made the transition from 2-D sprites to 3D models perfectly. Ibuki's cool costume, her pixie-like cuteness and her flowing hair are irresistible. On her end, Makoto's spunky tomboyish appeal is perfectly captured. Of course, the best part is- their feet are big and beautifully detailed and animated... and thanks to the dynamic camera we can be sure to have TONS of wonderful view of their hot, kick-ass soles and toes throughout the matches. AWESOME!!!


The SF3 Fighters make their long-awaited debut!


For those not liking the english voices, here's the Japanese version of the new trailer!

I am so overjoyed at Makoto in particular, who looks to be my fave in the game. Yeah, Juri and Ibuki are awesome as well and undeniably hot, but Makoto is the one babe in the game who is truly barefoot without any instep guards or bandages like the other girls, and that just sets her apart so as the best. Also, I noted that YES, Makoto finally now has a knockdown pose where she's facing UP, unlike in the 2D Third Strike. I just hope that in the final game they change how she has one arm kinda covering her face. It's just a little nitpick though... I'm happy regardless.


Makoto's ready to choke the competition into submission.


Makoto's rival is Feilong... lucky dude.


Barefoot babes Ibuki and Makoto finally clash in 3D!


Ibuki shows her new rival Sakura her Ultra...


Makoto's Ultra is particularly brutal... and awesome.

Super Streetfighter IV is out on April 28 for PS3 and Xbox360. For now, enjoy the vids and dream of martial arts girls' feet flying at your faces.

Barefoot Babe Reunion: Ibuki and Makoto CONFIRMED in SSFIV!

Makoto and Ibuki in 3D, FINALLY!

Let footfans rejoice! Super Streetfighter IV is now officially the successor to the awesome Streetfighter III: Third Strike as the foot-fan favorite in the SF franchise. The latest issue of Famitsu has finally confirmed the inclusion of barefoot ninja babe Ibuki and barefoot karateka Makoto in SSFIV. These two join Taekwondo mistress Juri in the latest game in the long-running Capcom fighter franchise.

This is damn awesome. Juri had already sold this game to me, but the inclusion of Ibuki and Makoto have pushed SSFIV to MUST HAVE levels for us barefoot fans. I'm particularly happy with Makoto's inclusion as, unlike Juri and Ibuki, she's totally barefoot without any instep guards or bandages in the way of her sexy-deadly soles. So far it looks like both of them look exactly like they did in SF3, only now in 3D. I also see lots of their attacks are back, but I hope they've been updated properly for the game now. Particularly I hope that they changed how Makoto ALWAYS falls face-down when she's knocked out or knocked down. Regardless though, I am just ecstatic right now. Fans of BIG bare feet should LOVE these two. Heheh...




I can't wait for more videos and trailers to come!!! This is awesome!!! More on this as I get stuff.
On a sidenote, sad to say I've seen a pic of Juri's alternate outfit, and she's wearing shoes in it. Hopefully she is barefoot in her other alternate.

Makoto (Streetfighter, UDON Comics)

The alternate cover art for SF2 Turbo 11, starring everyone's favorite karate girl.

Here's a nice quickie, once again from Capcom's Streetfighter series. While the first issue of Streetfighter Legends: Ibuki is still a few weeks away, right now you can go into your favorite comic store for some barefoot videogame babe action on the printed page. In the just-released Streetfighter II Turbo 11 is a 4-page Streetfighter III back-up story starring none other than the hot-headed karate hottie, Makoto. As with the previous SF3 back-up stories, it's painfully short at just 4 pages, but at least the art is nicely done with clean lines, nice facial expressions and vibrant colors. There aren't as many views of Makoto's pretty bare feet as I'd like, but what is there is well done and worth seeing. Check out two pages of the story below!





If you love Makoto as much as I do or wanna see the whole story, pick up a copy of the issue at your favorite comic store... I mean, how many comics are there that feature the karate hottie anyway? Go get it! Anyway, It's all just a preview for more barefoot videogame babe comic love next month in any case. Let's all keep our fingers crossed that we see the lovely Makoto in action in the upcoming Super Streetfighter IV as well. Later then!

More Streetfighter Legends: Ibuki Artworks!

It's still a bit till us barefoot fans get our SF3 love. Capcom still hasn't let the cat out of the bag about the last few fighters for Super Streetfighter IV, even if the supposed inclusion of Ibuki and Makoto is probably (and hopefully) the worst-kept secret in gaming all year. Anyway, the game hits at the end of April. However, we do get a bit of an early fix as our favorite barefoot ninja babe (and favorite barefoot karate babe) make their comic debut in March, with the release of Streetfighter Legends: Ibuki issue 1 care of UDON Comics.

But of course I've already posted about that, so the main goodies at this point are looks at some newly-found art from this sure-to-be-awesome comic.
The first is a special Convention Cover for Issue 1 made by the series' main artist Omar Dogan.This issue will mostly be available for sale only at conventions and events UDON will be attending to promote the comic. It's a gorgeous piece of art of course, with the lovely Ibuki and her friends spending a day at the beach in sexy swimsuits. Too bad there isn't really a good view of their feet, but at least Ibuki herself gives us a big (if incomplete) closeup of her toes. Man, couldn't he have laid it out so that her whole foot was seen? That would have been awesome. Oh well...


Ninja Girl and friends at the beach, by artist Omar Dogan.

Next up are looks at the covers for Issue 2. The first is a Streetfighter III reunion with Ibuki, Makoto and Elena the Capoeira Princess. Again, too bad Mr. Dogan doesn't draw the girls' feet in full, but at least we do get a nice top view of Makoto's foot, which is quite nicely drawn.


The SF3 Girls Reunite! Cover for Issue 2, by Omar Dogan.

Finally we get an alternate Issue 2 cover from guest cover artist Judy Jong. It features a cute Ibuki just hanging around with her pet tanukis and, by the way, showing off a nice view of her big, beautiful bare foot. I'm sure any foot fan would love to be in the place of any of those tanuki and have the chance to nibble or lick Ibuki's cute toes or soles. I known I would. Heheh...


Ibuki and her Woodland Friends, Alternate Issue 2 Cover by Judy Jong.

Anyway that's that. I'm still hoping for Capcom to announce the SF3 girls in SSFIV soon. And of course, this awesome barefoot babe comic. Can't wait! For now though, enjoy the art guys!
