Street Fighter III: Third Strike Online Edition

For its release of Street Fighter III: Third Strike Online Edition on XBLA and PSN, Capcom enlisted the awesome Stanley "Artgerm" Lau to provide new character artwork.  The results are wonderful.

 

 
Capcom currently has a contest called Finish Me going where artists are invited to add backgrounds to the character artwork. You can find high-quality PNGs of all the characters for download on the contest site.
