Hey peeps, I have been spending most of the holidays at the casino… winning and losing money (mostly winning :D). With that I realized that I have not been updating this thing for a while now… so here it is, introduction of fighting games that I think are great (and kick ass at too lol).

Street Fighter 2
If you don’t know this game, you are either living in a village without any kind of gaming device… or you are just “kampungan”. This game used to be so damn famous that ended up with so many spin-offs… extensions or whatever shit you name it. It is the game that started the whole 2D fighting thing… if you still haven’t played it, download the rom and give it a try. I kicked so many people arse with Ken/Ryu at my home, arcade and friend’s house. I used to suck at it when I first started playing (I was like 8?), I don’t even know how to shoot the infamous “hadouken” shit until I take a look at the people hands at the arcade. Anyways, this game rocks, play and love it!

Tekken Series
I can’t really say that I am that GOOD… cause I got my ass whooped once by my friend’s friend. But against the general player that doesn’t memorize those fricking juggling combos, I do pretty well. Combination of high and low attack + throw with Law should do most of the tricks, those quick punches help too.

Soul Calibur 3
This is the game! This is the shit! I used to hate this game A LOT. But then as Daniel (My housemate) and Albert (The Nub) were playing the game at my place… I find the game pretty attractive to watch. Unlike Street Fighter, this game is really fast-paced and the graphics are extremely realistic too. At first, The nub actually dominates with this game, using Mitsurugi and spamming the “front front triangle” move. Since at that time, Daniel still sucked, he got his ass whooped (scores like 20-5?). I was the same shit, I got my ass whooped too (2x-1). This is actually the first game where the nub was able to dominate with… he tried various games against us but was always ended up trashed.

So during the holiday when I was back in Indonesia, I played the game quite often with my brother (he doesn’t help much.. since he sucks too). But I kinda learn a few things here and there… I don’t know what did Daniel do, but he somehow improved too. So when the holiday was over… guess what happened? The nub got an ass-beating from us. Scores like 50-0 when he played against me was common, especially if I started using my beloved Sophitia again and again… then that’s when the quote “Don’t keep using cheap moves lei… NOT FUN ONE” came out of his mouth. I was like wtf dude, you can do the same… but you just suck lol. So yeah, he persevered for another 1 month, before quitting the game completely.

I am very sure there are more fighting games that I can play really well, but I kinda forgot them, will post more when I remember… with stories if they exist of course.
