One time when I was like 12 I went into this sports bar because they had a SF2 cabinet in there where you could yank the joystick panel up and reach down into the machine to jiggle the wire thing that got tripped when people put in a quarter and play for free. A bunch of kids, maybe six or seven of them, who where in my grade in school and whom I was not a fan of came in when I happened to be at zero credits playing against the computer (as Chung Li because I had misclicked -- I usually used Ken). They all tried to beat me but they couldn't, most of them picking Blanka and just sitting there farting out electricity 90% of the time. Eventually the leader guy (Kevin, whose face I had chucked a basketball into in gym in a moment of inspired but not premeditated agression) said "Just let the computer beat him, gently caress." and it did so pretty quickly because I was bad with Chung Li and also the computer cheats.

Kevin yelled at his cohorts "Stop picking the loving fur pie!"*




*For those of you who are young teen posters you should know that women used to have hair on their frontbottoms back when Street Fighter was a game that was new in arcades. Weird and sick I know.

Justin Wong should inspire just as much american patriotism but you guys don't seem to give a gently caress about him. The Fighting game community is kind of weird to me

he's not all that good at sf4 these days

I kinda like dee jay. Fei long is fun too. I switch around a lot. I was just talking about this on some stupid slot machine thread , but I would rather gamble on if I would win a street fighter game than play a slot machine.

most of the fgc people who seem like nice guys are nice guys and the people who seem like huge assholes are huge assholes

this has been my tournament experience over the years

chris g is actually a real cool guy though, he just has real bad people skills. back when wnf was a thing i could go to, i showed up when chris g was in town (before he had moved out) and he was playing ddr for an entire loving hour before the tournament started. he was my first injustice matchup and dude was fuckin exhausted. still destroyed me though.

"Get in."
I am pretty good at Street Fighter, I used to play it a lot as a kid and my best character was Ryo. Not to brag or anything but I could probably beat you at Street Fighert

JUST GET IN THE FUCKING ROBOT SHINJI
Mike "Mike Ross" Ross.

lol j\k it's Daigo.

Tokido is up there because he is a literal genius with degrees from a top notch university but Daigo's superpower is that he is a completely emotionless robot. Daigo can stay completely cool and think clearly no matter how much pressure there is and almost no one else can do that because the rest of the players have human emotions.

Infiltration is a cool guy who has mastery over a ton of characters and Alex Valle is definitely the most important American player. Valle is probably the oldest guy playing Street Fighter who can still compete. Justin Wong was a great American player but I'm really feeling that his time is at an end.
