Every Dynasty
Must End. A Story by |
Who will put a stop to the madness? Will it end in my lifetime? Why did we, the consumers, let it go this far? Deep questions trying to probe into the reason for the Street Fighter franchise lasting so long. Let’s face it, it needs to stop. I mean Jesus Christ, it just keeps coming back. Like the stanky homeless guy at the bus station, it just won’t go away. With the impending release of Super SNK Marvel Capcom Spankyspank Heroes vs. Super Street Fighter II EX + Alpha Championship Edition Buttsex: Naked in the Naked: The Next Generation. (Working title. Japan May: 2001) I feel I have to take a stand. Now people, Street Fighter wasn’t always a joke. Back in grade school we used to sneak out and pop the quarters into that machine like it was a bank. Of course, that was when it was just Street Fighter II. Ryu was the hero, Ken was the Ryu wannabe, and everyone else was just in your way. Of course, most of us could only stomach the cheesy Ryu ending 5 or 6 times, so we were forced to use other characters. Chun Li, Dhalsim, they were alright. But eventually the game lost it’s fun and we stopped. Then came Championship Edition. Not a good enough upgrade for yours truly, but hey, watcha gonna do. Then the pinnacle was reached when Super Street Fighter II landed on the scene with 4 new playable characters. Native Americans were justified and could now beat down Honkeys and those crafty Asians as they had always dreamed with one of their own, T. Hawk. Skinny French women, the most important minority in my opinion, were also represented, along with Bruce Lee wannabes and Jamaican breakdancers/kickboxers. (Didn’t we all want to be that at one time...or still do...*tear*). I was more than happy to slap down the $49.96 for a copy to play on my Super Nintendo Entertainment System( Best gaming system ever?.....No...hehe) You just had to play through it over and over to see all those excellent, well thought out endings. Did you guys ever see Vega’s? It was very homo-erotic. I only saw it once, it made me question my sexuality and I am still seeking counseling. Now some will argue that the original Street Fighter was the best for it’s ingenuity, or that recent games are better due to improved graphics. To them I say this: STOP. Anything before Super Street Fighter II was a game, Super Street Fighter II was a way of life. And to those who like the new "improved" Street Fighters, tell me what an "EX + Alpha" is and then I will listen.

-Now that you've read something, he's written. Wouldn't you like to find out more about Naked Warrior Here you go. |
So I conclude by imploring the gyeah.com viewers to stop buying those cheap
imitations seen on PSX, Dreamcast, even PS2 for God sakes has fallen into the cruel
clutches of neo-Street Fighter. And please do not throw your quarters down that empty
neo-Street Fighter well at the local arcade/bowling alley wishing for a pleasurable gaming
experience. Your wish will not come true my friends, your wish will not come true.
