Who was your favourite character? Which was your favourite edition? How good were you? Do you have time for the later, new-fangled Marvel v Capcom or the like? Were you an arcade version champion, gaining major respect from your peers?

Round 1... fight!

Search: Chun Li 4evs OF COURSE. Who says her attacks are weak! Nonsense! I am also fond of the button bashing BLANKA and the evilness of Vega (who I still consider to be NEW SCHOOL so I am rly not the person to talk to about Cammy and that ilk).

Destroy: Ryu and Ken (sorry Ken) the teachers pets. You could just imagine them swotting up in the dojo and smarming up to their teacher until they got to learn the fireball. You can tell they never thought one jot about the people they were fighting, they never saw Chun Li as a worthy opponent or saw past Blanka as a terrible hulk!

The fact that I CLEARLY HAVE means I HAVE NO HOPE. Groan!

Played Marvel vs Capcom a couple of times in the arcades and it is fast and terrifying and makes me feel incompetent. I SHUN IT.

i think i lost interest when SUPER came out with all that cammy and shit. it could well be because it required 32MBit of ram on my GAME DOCTOR III to run and i couldn't get the upgrade.

now i go to the arcades and feel old when i no longer recognise any of the street fighter versions with all these mental shits like A-ISM, J-ISM or whatever. I DON'T UNDERSTAND! if i were still a child though i guess i would have known it all by studying whatever today's young people's version of games master magazine.

― ken c, Tuesday, 6 March 2007 13:55 (eighteen years ago)

is there a version of street fighter that just involves pressing arrows that appear on a screen which corresponds to fighting?

oh wait yes there's that hokuto no ken punching game. and guitaroo man i guess.

― ken c, Tuesday, 6 March 2007 13:56 (eighteen years ago)

I chose Blanka a lot. I could relate to that guy. I was never a big SF fan tho.

No we don't! Come over and post there.

I was mostly shit at SF but I was a big fan of Guile's leg sweeps and teh Sonic Boom.

Best match ever

Games Master magazine is still out! I saw it in Virgin and boggled that it's still going - no obvious Patrick Moore or Dominik Diamond branding though.

Ken - what is GAME DOCTOR III?

― Sarah, Tuesday, 6 March 2007 14:02 (eighteen years ago)

p2 blanka was bloo iirc

― g-kit, Tuesday, 6 March 2007 15:20 (eighteen years ago)

GAME DOCTOR III is this "game backup" thing for the SNES, and it lets you PIRATE GAMES by storing them on floppy discs!!!! and then load them again!

It's akin to the Famicom Disk System.

Best thing about it was that the disks were compatible with a PC! so you can load a disk onto a hex editor and HAX0R GAMES. so that instead of guile saying "Are you man enough to fight with me?" when he wins you can make it say "HA HA HA HA I SHAGGED YR MOM" and that. it's brilliant!

The boxer is known as Mike Bison in Japan is renamed "Balrog" in the U.S.
The masked Spaniard is known as Balrog in Japan is renamed "Vega" in the U.S.
The evil dictator and head of Shadaloo is known as Vega in Japan is renamed "M. Bison" in the U.S.

eleven months pass...

I always thought it was silly the way some people talked about people being "radicalized" as if they were magically brainwashed and transformed into terrorists.
It always reminds me of M Bison capturing Ken, putting him in a machine that fills him with PSYCHO POWER and then made to fight Ryu.
