At some point in time it was decided that people would like to be included in a video game. Now I admit to the idea being nice and novel for say a sick child who only wishes to be a part of the next Star Ocean. But in general I find the idea dull. That said, if there were a game to be in on it’d be Street Fighter IV. Capcom is doing its part to get your face in the upcoming fighter.

All you have to do is put a little effort in and you’ll join the throngs cheering on the World Warriors during battle. You have to write an essay about why you should be chosen. If chosen you’ll have a 3D rendering of your face put in the background. Now you’ll have to come up with a real good story on why you should appear in Street Fighter IV. Perhaps a tale of woe about how your dad never believed in you as a child, but you’ve recently come into your own and the penultimate moment of your life will be virtually looking on as a green electricity guy fights the effeminate mask wearing claw dude.

I’m sure you’ll come up with something better, and then you can submit it to Capcom.
