... you might be OG

Tite thread.

If you’ve ever witnessed gunplay as the result of throwing…by zangief, YMBOG!

If you ever took your hot ass gf to Street Fighter the movie and STILL played SSF2 afterward, YMBOG.

If you ever used SF as an excuse to go from one girl’s house to another, YMBOG.

If you ever thought that Nas’s “One on One” was the best hip hop jam ever, YMBOG. That goes for Queen Mother Rage(or some shiet) “Afro Puffs” too. SF and Hip Hop=forever connected. Hell, if you copped the SF movie soundtrack, anyway, after seeing that POS, YMBOG.

If you ever made your fellas go to camelot for hoes just to play SF too, or if women and SF ever sounded like a good combination, YMBOG.

If you’ve ever lured homies to a tournament with the promise of sex and herb, YMBOG.

If you’ve ever purposefully made peeps hate you just so they would play better, YMBOG.

If you’ve ever put yourself into financial debt over SF, YMBOG.

If you ever conned your way into free credits at your arcades, YMBOG.

If you’ve ever been in a fight and then made friends with someone all because of Street, YMBOG.

If you’ve ever been at SHGL and some female sees a car and stops and finds you because she KNOWS you’re in town even though HELLA Cali peeps had civics, YMBOG.

If more ppl call you by your SRK handle than your real name, still, YMBOG.

Damn, this is one of those “funny cuz it’s true” type threads.

This thread could literally go on forever.

Sups Trag, missed ya at Evo!

oh wait! If you’ve ever been screwed by Matt Taylor, YMBOG.

Apoc.

I never got comfortable with people saying tatsu-whatever the moves real name is, simply because it just doesn’t match to that CPS1 voice hard-coded in my brain.

I make it more “Atta-tat-twerlkeck” though.

Excluding the US-only stuff like B3 (I remember the event well but obviously didn’t go) I am most definitely OG.

Mind you I reckon the REAL OGs didn’t ride around on bikes from 7-11 to 7-11, those manz would have been playing cats at big arcades and driving where the real manz played.

Tatsu Maki Senpu Kyaku…or some shit…

for great laughs…finish an opponent with “Shinkuu Tatsu Maki Senpu Kyaku” (QCB + KK) in Marvel Super Heroes vs. Street Fighter…

Dam my earliest memory was putting 50cent in the 25cent SF1 machine just to pick this cool other guy named Ken. I musta been like 8 lol. same arcade had Violence Fight i used to play alot till SF2 was out then I reunited with my long lost Player2 hero Ken.

If you still think getting hit by a fireball was waaaay more dramatic on sf1, YMBOG

If you ever watched someone waste a roll of quarters trying to do a red fireball when you KNEW it was a glitch, YMBOG.

If you ever paid people to play you after they spent their money losing to you…just for more comp, YMBOG.

If you remember when sandbagging before a tournament was serious strategy, YMBOG.

Yo, I remember when hella OGs showed up to Vegas to party and instead had a random tournament at 7-11. I think Watson won, lol.

If you learned a move just by watching the computer, YMBOG. Before playing seriously, I was at a lampost pizza watching a tyson fight and I just happened to notice that chun li paused in a crouch before the spinning bird kick and I had to put a quarter in to test it. I got that “I’m the MAN” feeling right away.

I’m so OG, I had a car to travel to other counties just for fresh comp! It was sweet to pick up on phillies totally outside of town. No drama AND mad new comp that didn’t know they were supposed to lose!

If you’ve ever stayed at my crib for a tournament, YMBOG.

If you’re more than twice the age of SF2, YMBOG. Really OG.

If the difference in intelligence was ever defined by whether someone played SF:CE or Mortal Kombat 1, YMBOG.

Dang, I’m an a**hole.

Apoc.

If waiting for the bus seemed slower than walking to the arcade… then you might be OG.

If you got dropped off to the arcade hoping a familiar face will take you home later… then you might be OG.

If you knew Andrew Cockburn and watermarks… then you might be OG.

If you ever flew standby to a MWC… then you might be OG.

If you had a free dinner after losing a SHGL tourney… then you might be OG.

If you heard "AAH…DU-MA! after winning with a clutch DP or FK… then you might be OG.

many more to come… LOL nice thread trag

For anyone Dutch who’s reading this: my friend always said it was: “I’m-gon-na-make some pul-kjes!*”

*Dutch for boogers, if you really must know.

If you’ve ever come out of a bowling alley smelling like cigarette smoke with blood shot eyes, having never thrown one ball, but dropping $10 on a hot dog deal and quarters, YMBOG!

If you ever stayed over a friends house to toss a million fireballs at each other trying to determine the “secret motion” of the red hadouken, only to realize it was random, YMBOG.

If the sight of cigarette burns on a SF2 cab made you sad, YMBOG.

If you ever played Super Turbo on arcade and found the CPU comp too difficult EVEN AFTER you inputted the Akuma code you printed off your computer and gave up on the game, only to return 5 years later on console and discover the game is great, YMBOG.

If you ever believed your friends who told you in Rainbow edition Honda could go into the tub on his stage, or that guile had an actual razor in his boot, YMBOG

If you ever went on a school field trip to an ice skating rink, and not skate at all while playing SF and munching on nachos while your teachers looked on in dismay, YMBOG.

If you’ve gotten impatient for claw to get off the fence because it took so long, YMBOG.

If you ever put in the hyper code Down R Up L Y B X A to get the super 10 star turbo speed then played it and realized it was too fast to even input special moves, YMBOG.

If you’ve ever looked at an old sf2 cab after you’ve grown up, then thinking to yourself, “why is the white guy knocking out the black guy” in the opening cut and feeling puzzled as to how this wasn’t racist in 21st century standards but perfectly normal back then, YMBOG.

If you ever thought the elephants in the back ground were loud as hell, but loved it when they cheered for you like dumbo when you won, YMBOG. CPS1 ftw.

If you ever went to Japan and thought the arcade scene was more culturally fulfilling than kabuki, YMBOG

If you ever got an older friend/relative to rent the unedited SF animated movie to see Chun’s tits because Blockbuster strictly enforced their mature content policy, YMBOG

If your shoryuken does not knock down on hit, YOU ARE DEFINITELY OG.

If you’re down to your last quarter and you have to make a huge decision between NFL blitz, NBA JAM, MK, or the newest capcom game, YMBOG

ROTFL!

holy sh*t bro! lol

if you remember Alex Valle before he was THE Alex Valle, YMBOG!

Haha I’m by no means OG, but when WW came out I lived in New Orleans and my mom wouldn’t let me go play it because there were only two places close by that had it (a seafood restaurant and a Tastee Donuts) but they were both in the hood D: I had to wait for my cousin to get it on SNES to play it.
