count me in!

dang i love that game... me and my friends all-time fave is SFII:Champion Edition.
my 1st char was chun li but i couldn't beat the game back then so i used guile (yeah easiest but cheap - got a rush when i pulled off a chop-uppercut-somersault combo though). i later used ken after i got tired of the same old, same old sonic boom-somersault-whatever...
i remember a time before The New Challengers came out, everyone that used to play was so good they tried using other characters and actually got very good at them (one guy could pull off zangief's spinning piledriver like a shoryuken!).
i kinda hated the sound effects though of TNC compared to CE... but i liked the idea of the bgm playing continuously up to round 2 (love ken & vega's bgm, btw).
among the Alpha/Zero games, i love 3 the best (i hated the 1st, 2 was somewhat mediocre but i've yet to defeat Shin Akuma - man, he's one tough cookie!) & may char is Sakura. how much points can you guys get w/ Alpha? not to brag but my average score is 2.2-2.3M, & that's on a bad day. the highest i got was like 2.75M if i remember correctly.
SFIII was nice but not exactly my cup of tea even though it spawned 3(?) versions... loved the parry & ryu's shin shoryuken special though.
the EX series was ok (hated garuda grrr)... but pretty difficult to pull off chained specials using a gamepad - practically got a corn on my thumb with that one.
the movie was of course the coolest! with akuma making a cameo too as a street vendor hehehe
my fave characters in no particular order:
- chun li
- ryu
- ken
- cammy
- vega (the vain spanish dude)
- sakura
- akuma
- allen
- kairi
- sagat
- adon (kinda hard to get crazy with combos though)
oops... sorry off topic, got carried away
