Battle the World

So I've been playing Street Fighter 4 for the past two days and I've racked up a mere 15 ranked matches. Of that, I've won a grand total of 3 matches! Goes to show who plays fighting games huh?

Even with the losses though, I am still enjoying the game even though the AI can be a cheap son of a bitch at times (Seth sucks!). I've even encountered people online you seem to know a total of 2-3 moves and that is everything they will do! No extra punches or kicks here folks, just strictly what they know.

Surprisingly for me, I've actually taken a stronger liking to Ken this time around, rather then Ryu. I beat Seth for the first time thanks to him, so I've been playing more of 'em then I would usually.

What I like more about Street Fighter over, say, a game like Mortal Kombat is the attention to what counts: The fighting game itself. None of that crap like chest and kart racing here. Just pure beat downs, the way I remember it back when I was a kid.

On a happy closing note here, I am so very happy that Rebirth (vol. 22) has at last been released! It's been over a year since the last book and god, this one is like a double book! Twice the goodness!

Sadly however, I read through the damned thing so fast that I dread to think the next book won't be out for another year+ again. It's finally down to the wire! Desh faces off against the woman he loved so dearly, Lilith! But this ain't gonna be no lovey dovey picnic! Oh hell nope... I get the feeling it's going to be a fight and hopefully a revelation as to why she sided with Kalutika!

Yes, yes... I am a dork, a loyal dork who's been obsessed with this seires for a number of years already. After all of that time and money, for the love of god, I want to know how this shit ends! And if this ends like Ranma 1/2, I swear... I'm gonna go apeshit crazy!
