On your marks, get set, Hadouken!

Unlocking Characters:
Woah there sonny! who put all these characters in this game?

After purchasing Street Fighter IV I decided that the first thing I should do (after I stopped salivating and giggling with excitement like a schoolgirl) was to unlock all the characters.

So after reading this guide I had only the simple task of finishing the game with certain characters and beating Seth which I felt should be a walk in the park. After all, I was playing on the easiest setting!

I picked Ryu to start with and my first adventures were extremely successful, I uppercut-ted Balrog’s face, I swept Honda off his feet, I fireballed Sagat’s one good eye(this resulted in more giggles), I dodged, parried, back flipped and even levitated off the ground as I stomped the yard all over the cpu (ok maybe I didn’t do all those things but you get the point).

And then, just like in Toy Story when Buzz finds out that he’s just a toy and can’t really do all these amazing things, I was brought crashing down to Earth by a Dr Manhattan wannabe named Seth.

Upon encountering this bulging blue behemoth I found out that his plan for recreating the universe was apparently to hand my ass to me on a platter over and over again, whilst simultaneously laughing in my face (this promptly stopped all forms of my giggling).

In fighting Dr Manhat… err Seth, I soon realised that he is clearly psychic and knows everything I am going to do even before I do! Luckily enough however, he is not too bright and I managed to find a super advanced skilled move that only I could perform (like repeatedly low sweeping) to beat him.

After patting myself on the back for a job well done I unfortunately had to put the game down for the night as real life came knocking on my door. Little did I know what would be waiting for me when I returned…
