when it comes to gambling, japan is no stranger to it-especially when a peice of media from the nation goes big and especially if it's old. as the heavens foretold, street fighter is one of these, as all things go in this nation. as there's plenty, i'm just dedicating this entire page to these machines. remember, only 99.9% of gamblers tap out before they win!
potentionally the one that might be a little more well known i'm guessing, this is a little story-driven pachinko about chun-li. while i can't seem to find the actual synopsis for this in english because this is very much landlocked, what this game does contain is some saved girls from chun-li's past ventures, and something about her having to battle shadaloo again.
shown above: chun-li charging up so she can kill you with one shot.
it's SF4 but pachislot. weirdly released in 2016, long after SF4 was a thing, but what sets it apart from any other beyond the odd release timing is that the one thing open about it on youtube is this stupidly fucking large playlist of the thing's entire OST, which i think is the only thing that matters with gambling machines from japan.
also can't parse anything about this one, but same thing for SF4. this time, it's a better sink than playing release day SFV.
now this is a interesting one. this is a pachinko game released on a collection of pachinkos released by SANKYO, and the one thing that stands out the most about this little street fighter 2 pachinko machine is that it contains not only the chibi artstyle from puzzle fighter [a game you should play], and not just the street fighter characters that appear in that game, but also the rest of the SF2 roster too! my most favorite one is what they did to bison.
