Draw!

That's how the last match I played tonight played out.

I ended up going to GameWorks tonight to play some SFIV. There were some good players there, one guy who was a decent lockdown-Akuma and a couple others that had their good characters (Chun-Li, Blanka, Sagat).

The machine was set to best of 5, and both of us had 2 rounds each under our belt. I had chosen Mr. Bison (Dictator) and my oponent was on a 6-7 match winning streak with Blanka. I had lost the first 2 rounds pretty hard, but then after I got adjusted to the controls, I managed to make a quick recovery and take the following 2 rounds.

On the last round, it was down to the hair, and somehow both of us hit eachother at the same frame, resulting in the dreaded Draw Game. Everyone railed behind us, and for a second, both of us looked at eachother with that "WTF just happened" confused stare. Priceless.

It was definately a treat to play against some people in person on the arcade system rather than trying not to humiliate myself on the internets. I'm thinking of going back tomorrow and trying again. The only down-side is that it's $1 per match, which could add up over time. It's just weird being at an arcade again. I haven't been to an arcade in a long time, especially just for the purpose of playing Street Fighter.

I wish I had some pictures, but my camera is still on the chopping block waiting for repairs.
