See, all it takes is one deep and meaningful conversation.

Now, which one of the ladies wants to be next?

Damn, you lost me with the "intelligently" part.

I don't know why everyone acted like Zangief wasn't any good...

Zangief rocked! (You just had to know how to actually play a guy who wrestles instead of punch/kick.) I finished the game with him pretty easily.

Anyone else wanna be on "Jennifer's Kick-Ass List of Crazy 88 Gamers"?

It was just his chest toupe, man. It looked like something that had been taken from atop a female pornstar's "quivering mound" and glued onto his chest. It was most distracting.

*relates to Magic*

What amazed me was the fact that Zangeif could body-slam Chun Li without her shattering into a hundred pieces. That is one tough chick.

"TEE-HEE!"

btw, if anyone says "Blanka iz l33t," you're off my friend's list, permanently.

what do you mean by 88? Because if you're talking about the year, I wasn't even alive.

But yes, Zangief was my favorite character. And when they started letting players pick the boss characters, I rather liked Vega. In later games though, like Street Fighter Alpha, Rose surprassed Zangief in my list.

She was actually Jackie Chan in disguise.

Ummm...

1) He was probably drunk the entire game.
2) Executing his 360 spinning piledriver was practically impossible.
3) He was slow as ass at doing anything useful.
4) His victory dance was ghey.

It's apparently an endemic problem of the common gamer to not know how to use slow characters.
