Fighting and dancing games both emerge from Asia, and they both foreground the body. They strip down bodily movement into elemental actions like stepping, kicking, leaping, and tapping, and make these the form and content of the game. I argue that fighting and dancing games point to a key dynamic in videogame play: the programming of the body into the algorithmic logic of the game, a logic that increasingly organizes the informatic structure of everyday work and leisure in a globally interconnected information economy.

    4. The Street Fighter Lady Invisibility and Gender in Game Composition Andy Lemon and Hillegonda C Rietveld Transactions of the Digital Games Research Association December 2019, Vol. 5 No. 1, pp. 107-133. ISSN 2328-9422 © The text of this work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution — NonCommercial –NonDerivative 4.0 License (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc- nd/ 2.5/). IMAGES: All images appearing in this work are property of the respective copyright owners, and are not released into the Creative Commons. The respective owners reserve all rights ABSTRACT The international success of Japanese game design provides an example of the invisibility of female game composers, as well as of gendered identification in game music production and sound design. Yoko Shimomura, the female composer who produced the iconic soundtrack for the 1991 arcade game, Street Fighter II (Capcom 1991), seems to have been invisible to game developers and music producers, which is partly due to the way in which the game is credited as a team effort. Regardless of their personal gender identity, game composers respond to themed briefs by 107 108 The Street Fighter Lady drawing on transnational musical ideas and gendered stereotypes that resonate with the Global Popular. Game music, as imagined as suitable for hyper-masculine game arcades, seems to draw on a masculinist aesthetic developed in Hollywood compositions. In turn, Street Fighter II’s music and the competitive game culture of arcade fighting games has been interwoven with masculinist music scenes of hip-hop and grime. The discussion of the music of Street Fighter II and the musical versions it inspired, nevertheless highlights that although seemingly simplified gendered stereotypes are reproduced within the game, gender identification itself can be complex within the context of game music composition.

    September 14, 2011 Press Release 3-1-3, Uchihiranomachi, Chuo-ku Osaka, 540-0037, Japan Capcom Co., Ltd.

(Capcom) is pleased to announce that the popular characters Toro and Kuro of Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. (SCE) will appear to “Street Fighter X Tekken” for the PlayStation 3. “Street Fighter X Tekken” is best known for its well-polished 2D game play, and “Street Fighter IV” is an exemplary addition to the series. And now, based on the “Street Fighter IV” engine, the “TEKKEN” characters will be stepping into the ring to fight. Featuring two on two “Tag Team Fighting”, and together with Battle and Training Modes, this title will push the series beyond its limits. “Street Fighter X Tekken” is a dream fighting game that combines three powerful components: Capcom’s “Street Fighter” series and Namco Bandai Games Inc.’s “Tekken” series, which have become a major hit worldwide; and the “Toro” and “Kuro” characters of SCE, which are widely known among casual game players in Japan, as well as throughout Asia. Bringing together all these features in a single game will make this game appealing to a broad spectrum of consumers worldwide, extending from core users to individuals who are not currently fighting game fans.
