street fighter

[Lucas]

any of you guys into street fighter?

they just released Street Fighter 2 HD Remix on xbox live.

i downloaded it yesterday and have been kinda having fun getting my ass handed to me while i re learn how to play. it was 1200 of those game point things, which is like 18 bucks or so.

its totally old school retro street fighter 2 with a nice new clean HD look. you can play online in a 'lobby' style thing. where you spectate on fights while you wait for your turn.

you can have fun talking **** to other guys on there when you beat em down or vise versa.

Don't suppose there is a free-demo option is there? I don't like spending xbox points on crap (as I have in the past....)

there is a free download demo thing. i did that but since i live alone and had no one over i couldnt try it because its only a 2 player demo. for some stupid reason you cant try single player on the demo.

so if you have a second controller you can try it out for free.

i went ahead and got it because i have a friend who comes over every now and then and in the past we have both liked to fight each other on street fighter games.

and also since you can play online against strangers it has some additional playablity.

except that i really suck so get my ass handed to me every fight online. but eventually ill be able to hold my own.

those **** Ryu's

Blast, only one controller. Curses!!!! Curses I say!!!

BTW: If you like RPGs at all check out Penny Arcade: On a Rain Slick Precipice of Darkness
