Yeah, another post about my favorite game right now, Street Fighter IV, but this is from my Twitter and I had to post it here too. Here's another example of how this game delivers mad hype over at Arcade Infinity (located at Rowland Heights, CA in Diamond Plaza). I go there sometimes to play SF4 and hopefully I'll come and watch a Ranbat tournament (or even give it a shot) in the future. Actually, California Regionals, a big Cali tournament with players from NorCal, SoCal, and other spots, happened last weekend at Denijin Arcade (over at Simi Valley, CA which is pretty much a hour and half from where I live - I should of went there to hang out I guess) and supposedly was a crazy weekend filled with fighting game goodness from SFIV, 3rd Strike, MvC2, BlazBlue, and more. If u know the SFIV scene here at SoCal, it is pretty much charge character heavy with lots of Balrog players, some Bisons (my main in this game), Blanka players, and more. Even though Honda is bottom mid tier, he's still a pretty good character at times and he's my secondary character (Blanka and Guile are next in the list after Honda).
I'll also plug Gootecks's Street Fighter podcast over at Gootecks.com (link is at the right side with the other links I put up of other sites) and its pretty good if you're into Street Fighter IV and want to know the scene at SoCal. I am sort of taking an arcade SF4 break because of Skate 2 being out tomorrow (review hopefully by the end of the month), but will return closer to SF4's console release on February 17.
UPDATE (Minor) - Oh I guess that I'll post the console intro up here too. My original reaction is that it sucks because of the "pop-ish" theme song, but now I can tolerate with it.
