[COLOR=DarkRed][SIZE=1]Yes, the ultimate fighting game thread. I'm talking about SF, SFII, Super SFII, Turbo SFII, Hyper SFII, SF III: 3rd Strike, Alpha, Zero, you name the SF variation an game, it shall be discussed.

My Street Fighter Collection: Street Fighter II (SNES), SF3:Alpha (GBA), SF: The Anneversary Collection (PS2), Ken, Chun-Li, E.Honda, Ryu, M.Bison, and Vega action figures, the Street Fighter II anime on video, and 2 SF t-shirts.

My favorite SF game: Street Fighter Alpha 3 (Arcade)

It has all of the best: animations, graphics, characters, and moves. I can't express the love I have for this game in words...it demands quarters and down, down-left, and right joystick movements.

Favorite Character: Ken

Yeah, it may sound kind of generic, but each flaming Shoryuken I pull off just makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. I just automatically attached to Ken when I first played the game.

Anyways, just discuss your Street Fighter everything here. Much love to Capcom. :love:

street fighter rocks. i'd say that one of my favorites is Ex+a, simply because my favorite character gets an awesome move! (favorite character: sakura)

street fighter has kept 2d fighters alive and kicking.

I'd have to say Street Fighter 3: Third Strike.

That game has some of the most amazing sprite work I have ever see. Definitely the best of the series. The music's alittle... out there... but it's not too bad. I love how fast the game FEELS, but in reality, it's really not moving all that quick. The super moves give you a very dynamic feel to the battles, and the game has an insane difficulty level; something I enjoy.

As for a character, I would have to pick either Ryu or Yun/Yang.

Ryu because... well... he's RYU. Before a lot of the other characters were introduced, I found Ryu being my best character. Excellent fighter, great story, and awesome super moves. Can't go wrong with Ryu. Know how you know? He has like 40 (or so >_>) reincarnations of him!

Yun/Yang 'cause... well I'm not sure what the name of the one I normally use is. The one WITHOUT the baseball hat. His fighting style is something new (at SF:IIIStrike's time) to the series; he focuses mainly on counter attacks, quick fake outs, and unbalancing your opponent until you can catch them into a massive combo string; which, most times, will end the match in your favor. He was one of the first characters I tried out, and I've enjoyed using him right from the get go. Yun/Yang has a hard learning curve, and most people -I've- played with says he sucks, merely because they cannot use him. However, once you get good... he's unstoppable.

Also, I'd like to point out something about a little guy named Dan.

If you can wipe the floor with someone with DAN, you are a SF God. What the hell was Capcom thinking when they made him?!

Street Fighters could throw everyother fighter system out the ring besides King of Fighters and Dead or Alive(no i dont like Doa cause of the bouncy boobs only) i like it becasue its a good game. I never really liked the Hadouken move that much
