I'll be the first to admit; I am a scrub. I've only been 'into' ST for a few months now, and before that my only real experience with Street Fighter was Hyper Fighting on the SNES that I got used at a Blockbuster. Mom wasn't the most liberal with me so I didnt exactly have the ability to go to an arcade whenever I wanted, and I was an only child so no big brother to take me anywhere. I never really had the access to see all the big combos and stuff people were doing, so it really amounted to me and the few friends I had trying to do all the special moves on eachother. 

Now I'm 22, and the arcade scene is all but dead. The only real place I have to go to play on a ST machine is Chinatown Fair, but that's 60 miles away. Thanks to GGPO I have a place to play with other people, and I've gotten a lot better, but I'm still nowhere near 'high-level' play. Hopefully that will change with HD Remix now that I'll have a Training mode and such.

In terms of the actual game though, I got to play it at SFC and I have totally fallen in love with it. Never before have I experienced such a case of blue balls waiting for a game. Since I got my hands on it I've been dying for more. As I left, some of the crew outside asked me what I thought. I said that I thought both SF4 and HD Remix were awesome, but that I was mainly there to see HD Remix. Ray Jimenez was pretty excited to hear that, said 'YEEEAAAAH, that's my BOY!" and came over and shook my hand.

I just cant wait for it, only 4 more days!
