    So once he beats him, is that it? I was just reading up on wiki and he says that without Ryu to fight Akuma pretty much lost his purpose or something.

    No, I think eventually Akuma finds out that Ryu is actually his son and then they get into this great fight on the death star where Ryu is all no I'm the greatest using my light blue hadoukens - you are the evil dude who is not quite that great because of your red hadouken that somehow passes through my ex blue hadouken. Turns out Bison was playing them all along and it happened to be Tuesday. Then Blanka rides a whale.

    P.S. I hit 3000 bp and I'm excited. My wife doesn't care but I thought I'd tell you guys that I am officially in the realm of functional scrub status now.

    There's a pretty cool scene in SFIV: The Ties that Bind that shows Ryu being "tempted" in the desert by Akuma.

    Also, I noticed I had an extra 100 gamer points. Guess what I bought? :P

    You'll see in a bit, as soon as mygamertag registers it.

    Does Akuma really fit into the entire story? To me it seems like the Akuma/Gouken/Ryu thing is completely seperate from whatever Bison and his crew is doing. I don't even think Bison acknowledges Akuma's existence story-wise, despite the fact that he got killed by him in Street Fighter II.

    Mine decided to start jumping all the time with no way to fix it for a while, but now it just doesn't have a working X button. So mine is a good $30 wasted.

    Apparently Bison often dies, but keeps getting put into new Bison bodies.

    But that's the thing; he acts like it never happened. You'd think he'd be pretty hellbent on obtaining Akuma's body for his own purposes, because demon boy is clearly the stone-cold badass of the series and the strongest fighter in the lineup. If they explained why he wouldn't (or couldn't) do this it'd be fine, but they don't, and it kind of irks me as to why. It's all about Ryu.

    And then there's Ken, who despite being arguably the most popular character seems to fall through the cracks story-wise.

    Finally beat Seth on Hardest. Got to him using Akuma, but had to eventually resort to Geif to take him out. Seems like the only things that I could hit him with were Lariats and jump in SPDs.

    I'm enjoying Survival and Time Attack modes infinity more than Arcade though, so I'm glad I don't have any serious desire to get any of the other Arcade achievements. It's all good until you get to Seth. From fighting every other character I feel like I'm learning something. Against Seth not so much, I'm just learning to manage my RL anger, and that level of frustration isn't exactly constructive, let alone fun.

    Man Zangief ALWAYS steals my victories. I get him down to one punch's life and you'd think oh he's a big lumbering dude he can deal lots of damage but it'll be easy to slide in a little LP or something, you have 75% of your health! No, he always steals victories from the edge of defeat. Throwing fucker.

    I shall call him Zanthief.

    The problem with little LPs is they have to be close and on the ground to work. But close and on the ground is the Dangerous Land.

    My best victory ever today, too... playing a flowchart Ken and him Hadouken'ing all day long, having 100% of his lifebar left... we're pretty much eyeing each other down, my life almost at zero, me being too close for him to Hadouken with impunity, but out of sweep range... him cornered and I guess wanting to be cautious so he can get his perfect. He throws it and I leap at the perfect time, jumping HK, c. HP, Hadouken, he goes to throw his own Hadouken, I FA absorb, dash out, c. HP, Hadouken, shoryuken, ultra.

    And that's how I beat a flowchart Ken with full life in about 4 seconds.

    Fuerte got me in that bellyflop throw loop earlier... did it about 5 or 6 times, not sure- started at full life, and when I finally managed to jump out one more would have killed me.

    Have you guys seen Ties that Bind?
    Crimson Viper beats Cammy to within an inch of her life, bringing out the Satsui no Hadou in Ryu who goes apeshit on her and the rest of S.I.N. Only a crying Sakura brings Ryu back from his crazed state.

    My Akuma doesn't turtle at all- my demon flip ensures that. I pretty much only throw my Hadouken for chip damage at the end of a round, or to punish something too far away (like a whiffed HP shoryuken) for me to punish with a combo. Other than that I just close with everyone, usually aerially... just trying to figure out a way to safely close with Ken and not fall into his quarter of a stage reach with his shoryuken. :P

    I mean playing like this is likely why I suck but every match for me is fun as long as I'm not on a total losing streak.

    So from the film we know who C. Viper is really working for.

    At the end of her arcade mode, she says that the 15 have been taken care of, or something to that effect, and that she'll now start/look at the next 26. Any idea what she's talking about?
