SFIV National and International Finals!

so the results are done and who is the best Street Fighter Player in the world? Watch and find out. [via kineda]

just watching this made my memories of childhood all come back. i remember going everyday to galaxy game room in uptown chicago spending all my money i can rummage up and being there for hours even if i didnt have any money to play. street fighter 2 was literally the first arcade game i've ever played. once i had my quarter in line with the rest of the other quarters waiting to play, i knew i was hooked.

my summers back then consist or at least 3 hrs there a day. its unfortunate that because of consoles arcades are dying in this country. having that experience of beating something and shoving it in their face isnt as great as doing it online nowadays because the losers arent humbling like in the arcade and admit their defeat but instead just start talking shit and throwing out racial slurs everywhere. shit like that dont happen at the arcades because u'll get ur ass beat for being a douche like that. but nevermind my rambling, time for the awesome videos of the matches.
