I have been a long time fan of fighters. Ever since Yie Ar Kung Fu hit arcades I have been plopping down quarters with the intention of thoroughly embarrassing my hapless opponent. I love the thrill and challenge of the one on one mental meta game that takes place against higher skilled opponents. There is just nothing like it.

My all time favorite is the Mortal Kombat series. Whenever a new iteration was released I was always the first to the arcades to play it and the first to the stores to buy it. The game that got me addicted to fighters though was Street Fighter 2. Street Fighter is hands down the best 2D fighter series ever made. So imagine my delight when Street Fighter IV was announced to be released. Heaven! The only problem was actually finding an arcade, let alone one that had the game. To be honest, I have been so busy with things that I never really followed up until last week.

I haven't played SF4 yet but there are 3 arcades within the vicinity that have the machines. My buddies have been playing the game quite a bit and have gotten quite good.
While I do miss my competitive SF3: Third Strike days, I'm not as into the fighting game scene like I was then. That said, I will definitely give it a shot to prep myself for online fighting madness!
