The game was full of surprises. At beginning, we don't even know there're techniques like Guile's Four Hit Combo. Don't mention the secret tricks such as Dhalsim's Invisibility and throwing your enemy without even touching him when using Guile. After several months hard working. I was finally able to beat the 13 year old kid who's the legend of Street Fighter in that Area by using Dhalsim.

The game, to us, is more than fun. It's the getaway that helps us to hide away from reality even for two hours a day. Back then, we held Street Fighter competition. Whether you win or lose, you'll end up in Pizza Inn and feast yourself with all-you-can-eat Fried Chicken and Pizza. We went to Fatty Lin's house. He was a rich kid fifteen years ago who purchased the original Arcade IC Board and hookup with the TV. By the way, he also purchased the original 6-button joysticks no mention those 'life time supply' ice cream and snacks that hide in the refrigerator. Since we can't beat the owner who practices everyday , Robert and I decided to show him some real street fighter moves in the real world. All those stuff were just excuses to forget the 'trial' that we all have to face within two months.

Surprisingly, all of us made to the college. FYI, the ratio to get accept in that year is about 100: 2. Interpret that number in plain English. Among 100 people who took the test that year, We beat 98 of them. It's definitely not easy. Compare to Shaq's Free Throw Percentage which is about 50%, we have only 2%.

Today, when I saw the news that Capcom just released Street Fighter Anniversary Collection, I suddenly realized that it's been fifteen years already. Some of us are married and some of us almost have grandkids. Some of us did pretty good and some of us are still struggling like myself. But hey, that's life. Keep fighting.
