Fighting games have always been one of my favorite kinda of games. There’s no better feeling than getting a flow started, where you’re hitting combos and capitalizing on all openings on your opponents. It just feels like everything is going right for that minute of two. Some of my favorite fighting games include some of the biggest names like Super Smash Bros, Mortal Kombat, Marvel vs Capcom, Tekken, but my favorite fighting game franchise has to be Street Fighter.
Hadouken!
You’ve heard this sound if you ever played any Street Fighter game. It’s the sound the main characters Ryu and Ken make when they shoot a fire ball from their hands. There has been many different Street Fighter games over the years, they are now on their 5th game installment. There is a lot games between 1-5, like Super Street Fighter II and Ultra Street Fighter IV. My favorite is Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike.
To be honest I didn’t play much of the other Street Fighter III’s, just this one. I liked it a lot cause the 2D gameplay felt classic like the old school games. I like the 3D stuff like SFIV but 3rd Strike just looks cool. Plain and simple. This was also the first Street Fighter I ever took on competitively, using an arcade stick and following top players. Here is my favorite Street Fighter clip of all time. This is the most epic comeback in fighting game history in my opinion.
Let’s Fight?
Our very own Titan Student Union has a little arcade on the lower level and they have 3rd Strike. You can catch me there sometimes on Mondays and Wednesdays around 10-11 am. If you see me and wanna battle, you better have your quarter ready and be prepared for a good fight! Hadouken!
