Well, that was fast. In Street Fighter II I went 12-30. In Street Fighter III, I just went 10-3. Once again, I took on (and took down) all opponents as none other than Thunder-Thighs herself, Chun-Li. Seriously, Chun-Li's hips and thighs are three times as wide as her waist. She takes "hourglass figure" to comical levels. That's her, above, in the dead center of the arcade game's cover art. Now, I knew Street Fighter III would be quick, but fifteen minutes might be a Back-Blogged record. I just let Chun-Li's lightning kicks fly and she took care of the rest. Once again, the epilogue was specific to her character, and once again I found myself wondering what other characters' endings were like. (But once again, the wonder really isn't enough of a driving force to go through with anything.) Truth be told, I almost just made one post for both Street Fighter games in the Anniversary Collection, but balked at the last moment. I'm glad I did so. The games might have only taken an hour to beat, combined, but they were still separate games and deserved separate reviews. Speaking of reviews, Street Fighter III was shorter and easier than Street Fighter II while maintaining a larger cast and bigger move sets. Oh, and better graphics. It was honestly and simply just a better game all around than its predecessor and compilation-mate. So if you have to choose between the two, I'd say go with Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike: Fight for the Future (as the particular version I played is actually called) in a heartbeat. But both are pretty simple and stupid. Regardless, this marks the third game I've beaten tonight after a week-long homework-induced hiatus. My prosperity is fully welcomed, especially since I will be spending this upcoming week doing lots of homework as well. Whatever. Classes end in something like ten days and my two-month summer vacation starts just a few days later. Progress will be made, dammit. Big progress. But for now, I'll call it a night; I just don't see myself beating something else before dawn.April 25, 2010
