So many of us grew up watching Sesame Street on TV and then grew up a little more playing Street Fighter. Well now you can enjoy them both at the same time, thanks to this Sesame Street Fighter mash-up art.
Characters from Sesame Street and the Muppet Show have been made over to look like characters from the video game Street Fighter. Ernie and Bert are Ken & Ryu, Miss Piggy is Chun Li, Kermit the Frog has been turned into Guille and Cookie Monster was transformed into E. Honda. This Sesame Street Fighter trend was brought to you by the letter 'A'--as in Awesome.
