Does anyone know how this art was made (medium, technique), and who made it?

Art of Street Fighter only credits it to "Capcom Staff".

Street Fighter art thread as well, I guess.

I believe that's called weebshit and it's made by pushing a pencil against the paper.

Which game specifically? Capcom has had multiple artists for the series like Kinu Nishimura, Bengus, Akiman, and Daigo Ikeno.

It's the standard way of producing anime cells, so those same techniques, except they use a nib pen for the lines to get better definition and detail (manga technique). The easiest way to achieve this yourself is pencil first, copic marker to color, and going over the lines with a standard drawing pen (easy but less detail and line variation) or nib pen (difficult but more possibilities).

Cel paint, you can't get the stuff anymore since it was banned due to toxic chemicals or whatever

You can probably mimic it fine in photoshit

Capcom doesn't care about Street Fighter III.

In most cases where they credit like that it was one of the spriters. I don't think that's the case for these particular pics, though.

Stuff like this was done with Liquitex acrylic paint. The stuff in the OP was likely inked and painted the same way as animation cels, as already noted.

liquitex for these? really! that's interesting. where did you see that, if you dont mind my asking? to my eye, these look more like gouache or colored pencil. these are classic bengus, right?

They do, they did the online release a decade ago.

SSFII was done by Akiman top my knowledge. I believe Bengus wasn't too involved with the SFII series, he's more associated with the Alpha series and the Darkstalkers series.

This is a pretty good read if you're interested in art of older games and how they were translated to sprites.

Sorry, you are actually correct, Bengus was the one to do the art for Super Street Fighter II.

I remember an old guide by Wil Overton who described the techniques. He talked about how you actually paint the back of acetate cels so that the color is completely flat on the viewing side. Fascinating stuff and explains at least some of the weird animation errors I have seen over the years.

I read the Liquitex thing in one of those many old guidebooks, can't recall exactly which one.
