Hello everyone,
It's been a while since ive guest posted here, and since xaos and myself spent a good part of the weekend chatting about Street Fighter stuff, i felt the urge to put up a post before i got too lazy and while i was in the Street Fighter mood lol. I hope i dont start rambling, thats for sure lol.
As some of you may know, I am a crazy fan of the Street Fighter 2 V anime series, and recently ive picked back up on watching my dvd set of the series again :)
Everytime i watch any of the episodes, i realize how awesome Ken and Ryu are as a team. It also shows me how 2 people that arent even related can be even closer than most brothers are. I have a couple friends like that, and it seems that no matter how long we are apart - the moment we see each other again we pick right back up from where we left off lol. Ive grown very fond of chatting with xaos, especially about Street Fighter related stuff, whether it is attacks, characters, fighting styles, back stories and created stories and thoughs of our own, because we always seem to get the full benefit out of everything :)
Everyone knows that Ken is my favorite character lol, he is exclusively the only character i use - simply because i believe he resembles the physical look and fighting spirit/attitude that i would have if i were in his place. What he lacks in skill or technique, he more than makes up for with passion, heart, and an overwhelming will to overcome any obstacle, no matter the cost. I suppose that is what attracts me to his character the most, because when im at work and i hear the guys talking about who would win in a fight, i always say "whoever has the greatest will to win or survive will win". I often get laughed at, but there are times when they totally understand lol.
With the help of Street Fighter 2 V, the Street Fighter universe has become alot more than just a videogame to me in a sense. Ive found myself enjoying the anime series and multiple anime movies i own, and ive also found myself enjoying and appreciating the videogames more than i did as a child too. I guess it is just one of those things that you realize as you get older, like a fond memory or something like that. :)
Years go by and people change, but Ken & Ryu will always be the same and i think thats what gives fans like me that good street fighter feeling :)
stay strong,
Yamcha
