Posted: 23 Jan 2011 01:00 AM PST

Microsoft Kinect has seen a spawn of so-called Kinect hacks surface across the world. If you’re a gamer chances are you won’t care about half of them. Here’s one to get gamers excited. It’s a Street Fighter IV Kinect hack letting the player perform kicks, punches and, yes, Hadoukens using just their bare hands. Read on to see it in action. It’s worth it.

Seeing this video of a man honing his moves on Street Fighter IV’s Training Mode using Microsoft Kinect, is the ideal tonic for those waiting for some proper Kinect games, that don’t involve white water rafting *cough* Kinect Adventures.

Admittedly, the awkward looking sideways punching you see at 12 seconds in looks totally off, but skip to 42 seconds, then try to tell us that is not one of the coolest things you’ve ever seen, Street Fighter fans.
