ABOUT THE STREET FIGHTER II WORLD WARRIOR TRIBUTE
Simply titled Street Fighter II: The World Warrior Tribute, this personal project saw familiar characters redesigned with a cute look that aligns with the other creations in the Squid&Pig universe. “The idea was to take something as tough and strong as the original designs were and filter them through our own style, which emphasizes fun, approachability, cuteness, and kawaii elements,” Andrés adds.
Based in Valencia, Squid&Pig has over ten years of experience designing cute characters inspired by Japan’s kawaii aesthetic. Their client list includes the likes of Google, YouTube, and Mattel, but for one of their latest projects, they’ve decided to make something just for themselves. And it all loops back to the arcade gaming culture they grew up enjoying.
