How To Win at SF IV Online
Danmartigan | 2:26 PM on 09.14.2009 13 comments


Step 1: Begin by downloading movies or other extremely large files from your favourite internet websites.

Step 2: Launch Street Fighter IV and select a character with ridiculous special moves which have amazing startup frames, zero recovery, and nearly always trade hits. Blanka and M. Bison seem to be popular choices for this.

Step 3: Buy one of these.


Step 4: Win.

Street Fighter IV Launch Party Pics
Danmartigan | 11:29 PM on 02.16.2009 16 comments


Hey guys, so I received this strange invitation in the mail early last week and I found it very intriguing. Turns out it was an exclusive VIP invite to the Street Fighter IV launch party! I know, pretty awesome huh? The event was an absolute blast, and I took a few pics, posted below. I also included some comments so you can tell what's going on. Enjoy!


Here is a photo of me holding the invite. Those guys at Capcom really know how to promote an event. Who doesn't want to be entertained by 5 sons of the devil?



Here is me, meeting some important guys from Capcom.. I think Seth Killian was there. The DJ was spinnin like crazy that night, and we got our groove on like K-groove style, you smell what I'm steppin in?



There was an open bar, and things started to get out of hand. Those guys were really excited about their new game, and some of them got a little too friendly... If you knew me, you would know that I don't take kindly to surprise buttsecks.



Then David Sirlin showed up wearing some crazy getup with a white headband, and started throwing knifes at everyone! I ducked just in time, and jump kicked over a second, only to hear him scream "YOU CAN'T MAKE HONDA LOW TIER, INFIDELS!!"



The whole place went crazy after the Sirlin knife attack. I turned around and kicked some dude in the head and it exploded like a melon. As I was heading for the stairs, Michael Clarke Duncan tried to stop me but I gave him a gigaton punch he will not soon forget.



After heading ustairs, I was about to punch a midget in the face when Sirlin rushed me out of nowhere. All I heard was "TORPEDOOOO" and then I was out cold. Next thing I knew, I had this vision in my head- who the fuck is Silvia?



Anyway, to make a long story short- the launch party was out of control, bro. Here's a picture of me hugging Chun Li. I guess it's true what they say... every time you hook up with Chun Li, you get 10,000 points.


Perhaps it goes without saying, but I am really looking forward to Street Fighter IV. After I learn the new fighting system and unlock the goodies, I expect to see each and every one of you fightin' online like it's 1992.

SFII HD Remix Patch is Coming!
Danmartigan | 2:19 PM on 01.28.2009 12 comments


For those of you who are as addicted to this game as I am, you will be happy to know that Capcom officially announced a patch for HD Remix. They didn't release any details yet, but here's a quote from their blog:

As many of you have guessed, we do have a patch in the works. Sorry to keep you in the dark about it, but as Sven stated in the "Ask Capcom" area, there are certain steps we need to go through before we can even announce the patch existence.

I would like to assure you that while I haven't been able to respond to many inquiries on the forums, Capcom has been listening and we will be fixing many of the issues that many of you have been experiencing. I would like to thank, you the fans, for sticking by the game despite some issues you may be having.

I am unable to disclose the patch contents now, but please stay tuned to the forums and the Capcom blogs when I will be announcing it at a later date. Thanks again for being great Street Fighter fans!



Hopefully the patch will address all of the UI bugs and connection issues first off. And secondly, they need to do something about that E. Honda guy, what a dick. Unlike everyone else I don't really see a problem with Akuma, he takes like 5 punches and he's out cold.

Oh and it would be nice to have something to show for my 400 ranked wins, I dunno something other than a zero skill rating would be super neat.
