If you paid any attention to Comic-Con 2009 (and based on our experience there, about a billion of you did), you no doubt heard about Capcom’s amazingly generous giveaway: a remix soundtrack to Marvel vs Capcom 2, with music provided by 10 proven hip hop artists such as DJ Qbert, Talib Kweli and Raekwon. Oh, and it’s an actual, playable record

Let’s be honest, this film didn’t get the best reviews in the world, and maybe it can’t match the bombastically powerful camp value that the first Street Fighter film had, but Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li still piques our curiosity. What’s it really like? Some guy from Black Eyed Peas plays Vega? Just how hot is Kristin Kreuk in the lead role?

Nearly a decade after its celebrated release, Marvel vs Capcom 2 is coming back in downloadable glory. The title has stayed popular in the intervening years, fetching stupidly high prices on eBay, and remains the sole reason many have their old Dreamcasts at the ready. But even the biggest Fighter Fans or Marvel Zombies could be confused about the origins of some, if not most, of the characters involved.
