everytime i had to fight bison in SF2, i got so pissed off because he kept on beating me. i wanted to hit the tv. hah.

i think i'm the only one that would do that.

[Arcademan]

I've broken a controller over my head once getting pissed off at the game 

[aishiteru]

i broke the controller from hitting against the tv. hah.

[Arcademan]

The difference is that TV sets don't bleed. I looked like I was in a gruesome pro wrestling match 

[aishiteru]

aww. was it so bad that you had to get stitches or something? or was it just a little cut? a controller.. your head. owww.. i can only imagine the pain.

bison is a butt in SF2. got me seriously mad. i'm getting mad just remembering how mad i was at bison.

Should've gotten stitches...besides, pain is a state of mind.

Bison used to be a pain until I figured out his pattern. Jumping back kicks and sweeping kicks do wonders against him

[aishiteru]

bleh. i wish i knew that while i still had the game. but then again, i was too young to realize patterns when i was playing it at the time. maybe i'll go start playing SF2 again if i can borrow it from someone..

[Alexiel]

OMG I almost forgot, Ryu's Shin Shoryuken kicks a** in SF3:TS. I loved that most... took more than half full life damage of the opponent. Although yuo have to get the timing right. Oh well, it's all good to me.

You know, I always got the impression Sakura was related to Ryu... it's not true is it? oO;; even now, I still don't know the answer. rofl!

[Arcademan]

Sakura isn't related to Ryu. In the SF storyline, she admires Ryu and trains to be just like him, hence the similarity in powers. There's also an 'Evil Sakura' who appears as a secret character in Marvel Super Heroes vs Street Fighter who has the powers of Evil Ryu and Akuma.

LOL!! I've done that!!! XD

And yeah it's amazing what you discover after growing up a bit, When i was little i thought i just really sucked (well i did) but when you study thier moves it's great! I actually do that to people i play on Multiplayer too, So I vary my skills when i play them!

Yeah! And she has her own Rival called Karin, Right? Who I think is like Ken's Female Alter Ego, since thier both kinda full of themselves XD

[Alexiel]

HAHA! Oh wait, the evil version of Sakura... one question about that: She doesn't look like she has tanned skin does she? 'Cause I think I pulled out that version of Sakura during the game before... unless it was just something completely different. Do tell.

Akuma... Hm. You kow, I had a random thought about him being Ryu's uncle. HAHA! Which I don't think is true but ehh. I just read these short comic chapters GamePro had a few months back. Something about Ryu and Ken's master getting murdered by his brother (which is Akuma right? I don't know! >_<")

I have long forgotten the storyline of SF.

Marvel Super Heroes vs Street Fighter:
To play as Evil/Shin Sakura:
After inserting your credits, press and hold the start button, move the joystick to The Hulk and hold Left (still holding start as well). After five seconds, press Jab+Fierce punch and Evil Sakura should appear. She is basically an Akuma-esque version of normal Sakura. Her moves are:
Hadou-Ken: QCF+P (air)
Shouou-Ken: Z-Way forward+P (air)
Shunpuu-Kyaku : QCB+K (air)
Teleport: Z-Way forward+PPP/KKK
Shinkuu Hadou-Ken: QCF+PP (like Ryu's Super Fireball)
Haru-Ichiban: QCB+KK
Midare Zakura: QCF+KK
Shun-Goku-Satsu: Jab, Jab, F, Short, Fierce (level 3 only, unblockable)

I'm more of a classic type in SF games.

I play SFII pretty much alot.

[Arcademan]

I'm kind of like that too. As much as I enjoy the newer games, they have evolved into a 'combo-fest'. SF II and the original Darkstalkers are more of a skill and timing type of fight as are many of the SNK Neo-Geo fighters.

[Robin Sena]

Well, I'm more of a SNK fan though. (Last Blade rules!)

Anyway, Capcom ain't planning to do new fighting games right now. I think it's not profitable anymore (I kinda get it though).

[Alexiel]

SNK...SNK... wait, it had the Fatal Fury characters didn't it!? I love Rock! Well, from Capcom VS SNK. I have the jap version for it though. And Shin Akuma is cool. xD

[Arcademan]

SNK (now known as Playmore) has the Fatal Fury, King of Fighters, Art of Fighting and Samurai Spirits (Shodown) fighters, amongst others.

I'm a big fan of most 2-D fighters in general

[monkey]

anybody like Guilty Gear?
Sol Badguy is still one of the most (i think) Coolest guys around

[Robin Sena]

SNK Playmore actually.

Guilty Gear is made by Arc System Works.
