Street Fighter x Mega Man

Street Fighter x Mega Man is a fan-developed game to celebrate the anniversary of Capcom's Mega Man and Street Fighter franchises. This game gained so much traction that it received support from Capcom Unity, who published it as a free download PC game in 2012.

Seow Zong Hui, the Singaporean-based fan developer, mimicked the gameplay of Mega Man and combined it with Street Fighter characters as the villains. Though its first version faced technical hiccups, they were rectified in its 2013 sequel (Street Fighter x Mega Man V2)

Zong Hui currently works at Japanese game developer Arc System Works.
