Jada Street Fighter

[Misfit]

I don't remember how I learned the moves for SF, but I never learned them for MK. I've probably played MK an easily countable number of times in my life and never really enjoyed any of them. I only ever wanted P1 versions of all the SSF2 characters. When Jada started making alt colors I was tempted to expand my want list, but held firm. If I end up being able to score that SDCC defeated head set, my resolve will crumble like the US infrastructure.

Fighting game moves and the MK blood code was one of the last times I can remember kids sharing information about video games at school, on the bus, etc. After that it seemed like everyone had a GamePro or EGM subscription and it was no longer necessary (that and fighting games all tend to use the same inputs for special moves).

I went on a Jada SF binge this month - before now, my last SF purchase was Guile in December 2024. In just the last two weeks I've picked up every P1 version that has released since then: after grabbing Balrog and Sagat on a whim, I immediately ordered Akuma and Blanka (haven't arrived yet), E. Honda arrived in the mail, I actually went to a physical store specifically to buy Vega (which I never do - but I wanted him immediately), and then preordered Zangief and T. Hawk. These things are addictive.

I'm also not that attached to Street Fighter and should probably call it good after SFII wraps up, but I'm definitely going to be tempted by whatever they move on to next. I'm currently in the process of talking myself out of Invincible..

I've been there. I had a bunch of the Lightning Collection and before that, most of TRU's Legacy Megazords. Do I still have them? No. I'm sure there are other lines I'm forgetting. I try not to do that now.
This post sounds like it escaped from the "quitting/putting collecting on pause" thread.

Oddly I was the exact opposite of this. I took to MK really quickly and easily but never got anywhere with SF, Tekken or any of the other fighting genre games.
