(Thanks for the tip, GreatSong1!)<\/p>\n<p>Posted on <a class=\"external\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/eyecare_cp\/status\/1637642617692254209\">Twitter<\/a> by the company (via <a class=\"external\" href=\"https:\/\/www.eventhubs.com\/news\/2023\/mar\/20\/2d-sprite-luke-eyedrops-sf2\/\">EventHubs<\/a> and <a class=\"external\" href=\"https:\/\/www.timeextension.com\/news\/2023\/03\/random-street-fighter-ii-used-to-advertise-eye-drops-in-japan\">Time Extension<\/a>), the advert is equal parts bizarre and impressive. It features Ryu and Dhalsim towards the end of a bout, both struggling to stay on their feet with a sliver of health left. Then, both characters hold up a packet of eye drops, and use them by executing an attack \u2014 each getting their own very cool cut-in in the process. The commercial ends with both characters getting KO&#8217;d at the same time, joyous and relieved that their eyes feel better.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s definitely unique, but props to Rohto, it&#8217;s incredibly well put together. And, eagle-eyed Street Fighter Fans might just spot a newer character in the background. Luke, who made his debut in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pushsquare.com\/games\/ps4\/street_fighter_v_champion_edition\" class=\"external\">Street Fighter V: Champion Edition<\/a> as the last new playable character for the game, and who will be the star of the upcoming <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pushsquare.com\/games\/ps5\/street_fighter_6\" class=\"external\">Street Fighter VI<\/a>, sits to the left of the stage, watching proceedings.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"picture\"><a class=\"scanlines\" title=\"Luke Street Fighter II Street Fighter II Rohto Eye Drop Commercial\" href=\"https:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/ff8767bc86d64\/luke-street-fighter-ii-street-fighter-ii-rohto-eye-drop-commercial.large.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy\" src=\"image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHZpZXdCb3g9IjAgMCA5MDAgNTA2Ij48L3N2Zz4=\" width=\"900\" height=\"506\" data-original=\"https:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/ff8767bc86d64\/luke-street-fighter-ii-street-fighter-ii-rohto-eye-drop-commercial.900x.jpg\" alt=\"Luke Street Fighter II Street Fighter II Rohto Eye Drop Commercial\"><\/a><figcaption class=\"caption\"><em class=\"credit\">Image: Rohto<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>What a cool little nod to the future of Street Fighter, as well as just an amusing and well-put-together advert.<\/p>\n<p><em>Put your fists up and let us know what you think of this commercial in the comments<\/em>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[embedded content]Subscribe to Nintendo Life on YouTube Unusual video game adverts aren&#8217;t uncommon, but more and more we see product placements and advertisements for other items that use video games.
