BaD day 7: remembering street fighter 2.


Posted on 02/08/2016 at 07:22 AM | Filed Under Blogs

I remember the Street Fighter arcade cabinets that had the one big punch button.  Of course, at the time I didn't realize the significance of them, and it would be years later that I would realize that was the original Street Fighter that I saw.

When I first saw Street Fighter 2, the first thing I thought was, "Holy cow!  This game has six buttons and I only have five fingers!  How am I supposed to play this?"  I was never very good at the game, but I did go with my friends to arcades and gas stations and grocery stores to play it.  Remember when those places had arcade machines?  Usualy I would just watch, as I'd rather spend my quarters on games I liked, such as the old Pac-Man machines at the back of the arcade that were now gathering dust.

I did like the characters, though.  One of my best friends was REALLY good at Street Fighter 2, and I could never beat him.  But when Super Street Fighter 2 came out, I decided I'd pick one of the new characters, Cammy, and I actually beat him!  Now, it was probably because he was dealing with a new character that he wasn't familiar with, but let me have my victory, OK?  Because of that, I decided that Cammy was my favorite character.

I'm kind of on the fence about FF Explorers right now.

That's a lot of Nintendo statues!

I played FF Tactics back in college.  It taught me that I don't like tactical strategy games much.

Managed to get some pickups this week!

I'm kind of on the fence about FF Explorers.  I was hoping I'd get to review LEGO Avengers, but I'm not sure now.  I like the Rune Factory games more than Harvest Moon!

I remember You Can't Do That on Television.  A lot of Nickelodeon staples started out with that show (like green slime).  It probably wasn't a very good show, but I watched it a lot as a kid because I didn't know any better.

The Phoenix DLC is great!

Retro Review: Marvel Vs. Capcom 2

This was probably one of the most played games on my Dreamcast.  My favorite team was Mega Man, Tron Bonne, and Cammy.  I also liked Jill Sandwich, Roll, and the Servebot.  I stunk at the game, but I enjoyed it anyway. Most of my limited knowledge of Marvel characters comes from this game and the LEGO titles.  On the Marvel side, I liked the purple lady who shot out pink bubble gum things.  I don't remember her name.

BaD Six: Yo-Kai Watch Demo

I have this game.  It's an all right game, it's like playing a cartoon.  Which makes sense, since there is a Yo-Kai Watch cartoon you can watch on Disney XD.  Only thing I don't like about the game is the lack of control in battles, but I've played it longer than I thought I would, so it's still pretty decent.

Both the Yo-Kai Watch game and cartoon owe everything to Fujiko Fujio (pen name), the folks who created popular manga and cartoons like Doraemon and Q-taro.  Look them up if you're curious and you'll see the similarities between them and Yo-Kai Watch.
