A couple of days ago I woke up to a normal day, I just got on with my normal routine of things to do completly unawear of what was coming my way.

My girlfriend came through and said a parcel had arrived for me, I was thinking I hadnt ordered anything but she insisted it was for me.

To my complete surprise and delight I ripped off the bag to find a shinny brand new Tournament Edition SFIV fight stick. I couldnt beleive it, she had ordered it for me.

I have got to say it just looks awsome, I dont think pics do these things justice. Its just huge. I did get an SE then found the buttons and stick was lacking so I upgraded with Sanwa bits and it was great... but this new one is soooo much better, Its more comfortable to use and just feels right, no wonder everyone recommends it as "the best".

Even my little lad gives it the thumbs up ;)

I hate to admit this but I have hit a low with IV online. I just cant seem to play, my moves wont come out and I am worse than I have ever been.

I think it has something to do with me swapping characters alot recently and not playing online properly for about a month.

GOT TO GET BETTER XD
