Well, it seems as though Eolith has deleted the two Order select screen images in their latest Flash. I have a feeling that they tend to slip material at times, like how the boss images back in KOF2001 somehow ended up on a third party media site prior to the game even being released.

Anyways, the images are still available from yesterday's news, if you want to check them out. - Henry A. Moriarty

"Bang the Machine" is the title to a Street Fighter players documentation film. Of course, anyone with half a nasty mind could think of interesting ways of interpreting the name.

But up to this date, I didn't think that anyone'd be nutty enough to actually perform it. [ Project K- "Bang The Machine" ] Btw, that is one weird flash in the DL section... interesting. - Henry A. Moriarty

Actually, this photo is quite manageable. The Christina Applegate photo, however, is... whoa. [ Funny Celebrity Pictures / The Immortal Clutz / Applegate ] - Henry A. Moriarty
