With Street Fighter V coming announcement thought be fun to reflect back on memories the series has given to members.

As an added bonus, make this thread a fun give away in the spirit of the season.  I will pick one person from this thread to win

Super Street Fighter IV: Arcade Edition - Steam Code

Now if, for any reason, you do not wish to win the code just make a note in your post.  I will announce the winner next week on 12/12/14 in this thread and send them a private message with the code.

My most vivid memories of Street Fighter are from an arcade machine of Street Fighter II at local Pizzeria.  I'd always beg for a quarter to play, but often I'd just watch the title screens of all the colorful characters and try to memorize the moves.  My shining moment was playing against older boys and beating them all much to their frustration.  

I surely remember playing a lot of Street Fighter Alpha 2 on SNES with friends. Great game and I loved choosing M. Bison or Sagat for some heavy butt kicking!

I'm still actively playing on Steam if anyone's up for some games. Current steam name is : Moose 2: Fate of All Walnuts. Had to highlight it because yes, that's my full name. XD

(Don't want the code)

I'm opting out for the code since I own the game on PS3.

One of the first times I played Street Fighter II, which I just got for the SNES, I had a friend over who was also a newbie at fighting games. I picked Dhalsim and I kept smacking him with my stretchy limbs, my friend didn't know how to block, so he kept getting hit over and over again until he lost the match. He was not very happy.

I am opting out of the code as well, I own Ultra Street Fighter 4 for PS3.

I want to share 3 memories. One was in SFA2 when I was 13 yrs old and my friends and me were playing. I knew I was so much better than him so I was toying with him the whole match figurin out how I wanted to beat him. Then my mom calls out "Hurry, we are leaving in less than 5", so then I just whipped out a Lvl 3 Haru Ichiban with Sakura on him and ended the match, put the controller down, looked at him, smiled, and yelled back "I'm ready now mom"...

Second was just playing SFA3 in general and finishing the game with all the characters. SFA3 had great dialogue cutscenes for every character and really had the last real story of any SF game.

Third was facing my brother in SFA3 and I FINALLY owning him after seeing dominate SF2 so much druing the arcades era. I had a "STUDENT has became the TEACHER" moment!

I remember when that Street Fighter V teaser trailer leaked for PS4 and PC, it was glorious.
No seriously thats it, Ive never played a Street Fighter game before. Im a Tekken kid.

i don't want a code.

Anyway, I started playing SFII (saw SF1 back when it first came out but it cost a whopping 50 cents to play at the time!) back in like 1992. There was this kid named Bennie who was ALWAYS in the arcade and nobody could beat him. Anyway, I read in EGM how people were so dominant with Guile and Dhalsim. I chose Dhalsim and he was kicking my ass (because I didn't know what I was doing) like he had so many times before.

Dhalsim was almost down for the count and I knew he was dead. In frustration, I threw my hands up to walk away. And people started cheering. Turned around to see his character, Ken, dying because, for the first time ever, I had performed a throw. It looked like I had beaten him with my back turned.

Of course, I lost the next round. :(

I'll opt out of the code because I (also?) got one with my Loot Crate this month. :)

I remember when I first started playing fighting games and in my circle of friends you were either a Mortal Kombat or a Street Fighter 2 guy, you couldn't be both (ahhh youth). I was always the MK guy. Didn't stop me from hanging out around the SF2 arcade machine watching and trying to convince my friends they were doing it all wrong though.

Since nearly everyone opted out, I flipped a coin and the winner is...torok! I will pm the steam code to you shortly.
