Street Fighter x Pocky Collaboration Artwork

  

The addicting Japanese chocolate snack by Ezaki Glico and Capcom's Street Fighter hooked up for a collaboration of sorts back in Winter 2019. Limited Edition boxes of Street Fighter-themed Pocky are now available at various retailers worldwide. To celebrate the crossover you never knew you wanted until now, check out some newly released high-res character artwork of Ryu, Chun-Li, Juri, Menat, Rashid, and other SFV: Champion Edition fan-favorites all who appear on actual Pocky boxes and wrappers. Street Fighter Pocky is currently available at Capcom Store Tokyo and Capcom Store Osaka, among other retailers. Without further ado, scroll down to enjoy some beautifully-drawn (official) Street Fighter x Pocky character illustrations! [UPDATE] Added more Pocky x Street Fighter character illustrations, below!

You might've heard of the "Pocky K.O. Challenge" in Street Fighter V: Champion Edition — achieved when a player wins a match with their character's health meter visually resembling a Pocky stick. If you're up for the challenge, you can even upload your own Pocky K.O. moment with the hashtag #PockyKO.






 
[UPDATE] In December 2022, Shinkiro released his own set of Street Fighter
× Pocky illustrations for a new promotion. Interestingly, Shinkiro's 2022 illustration shares a strong resemblance and appears to take inspiration from Tamio's own Pocky artwork (seen above). Keep it here on Fighters Generation for more fighting game news.
