Which iteration of street fighter did you guys begin with?
I started off with number 4 about a year ago, with no previous street fighter experience. I really, REALLY, sucked at street fighter, but had a friend who I played with constantly, so I got better pretty quick. I started maining sakura cause she was a unique shoto, so easy to use but still fun. I picked Makoto a couple of times, and after getting used to how...weird she was to play, she became my main. I ALWAYS picked makoto in Super 4. Time goes on, and I lost my xbox gold, and pretty much stopped playing for 4-6 months.
Eventually I playing some Alpha 2 on the ZNES with another friend of mine, we discovered MAME and spent a whole afternoon trying to get blasted 3rd strike to work. I was all but too happy to have my precious Makoto back, but honestly, I rarely pick her in 3s because she feels so overpowered compared to super 4, and 3s just has so many great characters.
After playing 3rd strike, almost no other Street fighter game compares though...Anything previous to SF3 feels too stiff, and the animations look lame in comparison. Street fighter 4 is still fun to me, and I appreciate the 35+ characters, but it too suffers from the stiffness that older games had.
So, how'd you guys start? What's your favorite sf game?
hopefully get some discussion going on here and pull the community a little closer together...I need more SF opponents,
