Streetfighter IV PS3 Event in Shatin

on Sunday I went up to Shatin Center to check out a Sony Playstation PR event for Street Fighter IV.    They had a small stage set up in a mall,   by the time i got there there was a bunch of photographers with big cameras snapping away...  

They had a SFIV competition and after the final game they brought out some 'models' dressed up like various characters from the game:

Supposed to be Cammy and Sakura?

a not very convincing Ken and Ryu... :-P

not sure if you can tell,  but Ryu and Ken are both wearing flip flops... :-P

but the special guests were Rose and Chun-Li...

That's supposed to be Chun-Li....

its actually well known Hong Kong celebrity model named Kama.

But I was here to see 'Rose':

who you may recognize as Gloria Wong.

i only really ever played Street Fighter II,  so I have no idea what 'Rose' is supposed to look like.   ...apparently some sort of scarf wielding Princess Jasmine lookalike.  :-P

but apparently the guys w/ the fancy cameras don't care. :-P

some interview stuff....  i'm not sure if either of these girls know much about Street Fighter, but they managed to talk about something (since it was all in Cantonese, I didn't really catch much). :-P

after a few minutes they made 'Chun-Li' and 'Rose' do some poses to match artwork from the game...

they gave Kama all the hard ones... between the high heels and the skirt,  she was not able to reproduce this one:

but they took pictures anyway of course. :-P

2nd pose:

the chun-li fireball... again, not a very accurate recreation... but I can't blame her for not wanting to do it.

Finally they made the two ladies play a round against eachother:

Although i'm not sure how much either of them know about playing street fighter. :-P

The event seemed like fun,  next time I have to remember to get there early but bring my super telephoto lens anyway.... like everyone else.  :-D
