Street Fighter IV

It's been a while since I last played Street Fighter. Today as I walked pass the arcade center in Shimokitazawa, I thought I will give the new SF a try. The play style hasn't changed much, so I can still kick people's asses. Yeah, the good old days. But the character movements are quite slow compare to the old versions, which makes the combos difficult to generate. I like the new graphics, and the characters are masculine as usual; very capcom style. Say, it's already 20 years since the first SF came out in 1988. Back then, there were only 2 characters, Ryu and Ken, and the battle was as simple as "let's see how long you can keep up with your Shou-ryu-ken." It's amazing how things have changed and not changed over the years.
