Really looking forward to Super Street Fighter IV. Im being sucked in by the hype already lol. Im really hoping people try to use a few of the new characters and not just their tried and tested who they have used for years.

I was trying to do Rufus' hard trial five the other night. Was doing it for about 2hrs, I could connect the low medium kick which is the hard part and I couldnt manage to cancel into Ex tornado :(  (The easy bit lol).  I have really taken to Rufus, I was maining Ryu for a while to get the hang of FADC and bnb combos and it just helped my overall game.

Now im maining Rufus but also playing Abel, Seth and Dan (YES DAN HIBIKI). I just like playing these characters at the moment because they fun to use. Its strange because i was a real charge character fanboy when I was playing CVS2, and since getting my fight stick I really like using the none charge type. Weird I know but I guess that change happens.

Going to pick my SFIV arcade cabinet on Saturday, the weather has been terrible here so I havent been abel to go till now so picking the van up 2moz then road trip ;) Whoooot Whoot

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 ;)
