#1,2,3 applies to me.
#4- i used to think they said “oooh shit”, not “all you can”. so #4 semi applies to me.
#7, applies to me.
#8 im from QueensBridge, dude. the only game we had back then was the usual pac-mans, and the 1945s.
#10…well…we only have like one or two 7-11s around here. not back then though. just liquor stores. we had SF2 in our 99cent groceries though.
nothing like playing SF2, then walking out the store with 6 bags of cheese doodles…for free, my nigga.
but wait…you wanna know whats else makes an REAL OG, man?
-Those who still remember the rap videos for the Street Fighter live action movie sountrack that used to air on MTV, and BET.
-Those who remember the Street Fighter barbie dolls, that were like 6-8 inches tall, released during the live action movie.
-When you was like “oh snap!” when you heard the numerous Street fighter 2 references that were made by Rappers Nas, Craig Mack, and Notoriuos B.I.G. in thier ryhmes.
-Those who remember the scene from Gridlocked(or was it juice?), where tupac was playing SF2, and was button mashing like hell, but still lost.
cmon, i know im not the only one.
it was juice, and it was sf1. sf2 wasnt even out yet when the movie was made =)
someone more OG than me =)
If you played SF so much that your fingers bled from smack’in the buttons so hard you might be OG.
If you walked 10 blocks to the arcade with just 50 cents in your pocket and knew that you had to win make it worth the trip you might be OG.
oh man, I love these threads in srk 
I guess I’m og, but not in SF lol
nah, nigga…
I got water-bumps from that shit.
button mashing on my standard SNES controller burn like a mutha-fucka, though.
the buttons had sharp ass edges on them, especialy the pink ones. i think they were the X and Y ones. the A and B were the smoothe, purple ones
so anyway, i used to kill myslf to get one move out. i was smashing that shit hard. i remember i used to get those water-bumps. my sister had to help me burst them open.
and everytime they do get burst open, liquid start coming out.
good times, good times.
Weird as it is, despite how hyper fighting and super turbo are considered overall better and more balanced games than ce, personally I find myself prefering ce over hf and st. I can’t really explain why I feel this way though. I guess that there’s something about the speed, slowdown and ‘classic feel’ that ce has, or perhaps it resembles ww’s speed and feel that makes it much more classic and ‘sf2’. Even though I believe hf and st are both solid games, there’s something about them that I can’t quite put my hands on. I do play all of them quite often though.
Personally, and it is an opinion only, I’d say ce is the true sf2 to me as compared to all the other versions that were being released.
…if you spent hours trying to do Guile’s “freeze” or “handcuffs” in SFII
I remember that movie…but you kinda HAD to mash SF1…but I played SF2 first, when I was like…8 or 9 (and the game was brand NEW)…the local guys at that corner store taught me how to play with Guile immediately…the rest is history. Much snack money went to that game.
I remember when I was like 9, my mother didn’t want me to go to the arcade because it was dangerous, but all my schoolmates did go, on a regular basis even, so my plan was steal a few coins from my mother’s purse, and Sunday morning leave for Mass, and after I was done with it I’d go straight to the arcade, untill some day when she walked in, grabbed my ear and pulled me home
We used to call flash kick “the comb” I seriously don’t know why though.

If you can remember going to the arcade to play SF1 when it first came out, AND it had the big buttons… you might be OG.

I remember playfighting with friends, pretending to be StreetFighter characters.
My fat pal, Kambrin(where ever you are now) used to be Guile. His fat self could’nt even jump 2 inches, so everytime he did the flashkick, he would just swing his arms back, pretending that he’s doing a backflip.
One time, I did my version of the FlashKick, where i would just stick my leg out and twirl in a circle on some gay ballerina shit, and hit one of my friends, Stanley. Hit the nigga square in the jaw with my Nikes. After he took the hit, he turned to me like “OH SHIT!! THAT WAS ILL!!!”. LOL, gave me MAD props for doing that.
Every nigga wanted to be Ken and Ryu, so they could just throw fireballs all day.
My friends used to get mad everytime we block too much. So we used to grab each other and swing the other person to the floor. It was the closest thing to a throw that we could do back then.
I remember doing that shit…
then there was the Sheng Long rumor…
OG thats me!!
proof:
i used to the crossed arm technique to pull out fireballs in SF1!!!
used the play the hell out of the games i.e. Fatal fury 2 special, Aliens vs predator and SS2 in the local Quasar.
Used to spend all my money playing the 133t bad dudes vs dragon ninja and ninja gaiden near my cousins house.
Buying the gamepro magazine to brush up my skills on Fatal fury 2 special, and MK2
damn, i guess everyone’s an OG here.
