Since the launch of the original website, Street Fighter Devotion has evolved from a fan-site into years of community involvement. For almost a decade, SFD has been immersed in various Street Fighter projects including video games, books, official websites and more. Here is a quick glimpse into a few milestones:

Launch of the original STREET FIGHTER DEVOTION [2004]
Street Fighter Devotion launched on July 21st, 2004 (Ryu's Birthday) as an online fan-site museum, archiving every Street Fighter and related game released in North America. Within the first year, the site expanded to include movies, books, soundtracks, toys and more. SFD quickly gained a reputation for Street Fighter trivia and history, and for putting one of the world's largest collections of Street Fighter merchandise online, free for everyone to share.

In September 2005, thirty-one days before the franchise's Street Fighter Month campaign, SFD was hired by UDON Entertainment as their Graphic Designer and Web Master. The Street Fighter Devotion website was unfortunately put on hold, but remained online. During these years, SFD worked closely with UDON to develop fan-favourite books including Street Fighter The Ultimate Edition and Street Fighter Legends: Sakura. SFD also contributed to the art of Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo HD Remix for PlayStation 3 and XBOX 360.

The GAMING years [2006-2008]
Having moved from UDON to work in the gaming industry, SFD continued to work closely with Capcom on various projects. SFD worked on the remixed game Quiz & Dragons playable on Capcom Classics Collection Vol 2 for XBOX and PlayStation 2, featuring waves of Capcom trivia. SFD later contributed the XBOX 360 Achievements, "Sagat's Scar" and "Throwing is Cheap" in Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix.
