Meet Emanuel. This homeless gentleman is going to talk about one thing today: Street Fighter.
Art director Ken Lin filmed this interview back in 2010, but recently located it on a hard drive. Explains Lin: “I ran into this homeless guy named Emanuel Swanson who was yelling “Sonic Boom!” to himself. Being a Street Fighter fan myself I approached him and he gave me a brief history of Street Fighter all with sound effects.”
It isn’t just Street Fighter that caught this man’s fancy. According to Lin, Emanuel was “gonna come back to do a Mortal Kombat history.” Unfortunately, Lin had to be somewhere and couldn’t capture that for internet posterity.
I interviewed a homeless man who knew too much about street fighter [Ken Lin Thanks, Blam!]
