About Me

edit

1. I work in a place outside the trappings of reality. Sadly whenever I tell people about my job they dont believe me.

2. I play games way to much. But sadly for the amount of time i spend playing games, I am really not that good.

3. Just incase you ever wondered, -30 degrees air temp hurts when you dont wear a coat. -65 degree windchills make you feel like dying when you try work in it.

This is what 15 minutes outside in -30 degrees looks like.

4. http://twitter.com/squirrelpope .... i tend to BS about my odd days a lot more than i should...it might be interesting if you need to waste some time heh

Why do you torment me Street Fighter 2
Squirrel Pope \| 8:26 AM on 03.08.2009	6 comments

What is it about Street Fighter 2? Why must I own so many copies of it?

I spent a lot of time during the end of my high school and begning of college life in arcades playing Street Fighter 2 (all its versions), so perhaps its just me trying to stay young. But last night I downloaded Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo HD Remix (long enough name?) That brings my running total of Street Fighter 2 games to 6. (I know its not all of them...I have lost a few over the years I think)
Heres what i own...and still play

SNES:
Street Fighter 2

Genesis:
Street Fighter 2 Champion Edition
Super Street Fighter 2

PS1
Street Fighter 2 collection

XBOX 360
Street Fighter 2 HF
Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo HD Remix

On my Genesis I have 2 sweet 6 button Sega Arcade Sticks so I tend to play on that the most, but I love the online action from the XBOX 360 so I can play my old high school pal (who was in the arcade with me every day) who now lives in California.

I really cant put my finger on it though, I always end up buying something with a Street Fighter 2 name for whatever system I play. I never played any Street Fighter 3, and im not really interested in Street Fighter 4. I did play the Street Fighter Alpha series but I never owned it, just borrowed it from friends or played at thier house.

Anyone else here hopelessly addicted to Street Fighter 2 like me?

As a matter of fact, yes.

Question; if they had named Street Fighter IV "Street Fighter II 3D Remix", would you be more interested in it?

Squirrel Pope

i would be more inclined to try it at an arcade. I hear IV is pretty good

but if it had a SF2 tag on it i would probably buy it blindly without seeing if it was any good heh

My favorite part is that I effectively have 4 copies of Super Street Fighter II Turbo. Not shown: Capcom Classics Collection, which has the three without "Super" in the title. One day I'll probably get the second volume.

Squirrel Pope

NICE! you win in amount of games still owned. Someday i want to replace all the old versions i had.
