Guile Gets Himself in Trouble
You knew that destroying someone’s perfectly good car like that wouldn’t go unpunished right? Even if you’re a vet of the military, you’re not immune to the laws of the land, Guile. Charlie would be ashamed of you.

Video: Zangief in Real Life (OMGOMGOMG)
I think most of us would agree that Zangief’s move set is pretty outrageous and probably wouldn’t translate very well to a “real” wrestling ring. Well, it turns out that we are quite wrong. Here is a professional (?) wrestler who recreates Zangief’s Ultra Move from Street Fighter IV, starting with a spinning lariat, moving into a German suplex, connecting into a tossing backbreaker, and yes, even capping it off with a tossing and spinning piledriver. Holy schmoly!
Two More Colors for Characters in HD Remix
Have you been enjoying Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix? Have you had an opportunity to school a few newbies using Akuma? I’ve been having a ball playing online (find me on XBL as HadoukenOnline), but I just discovered a minor Easter egg during today’s session.
Most of us know that each of the six attack buttons will let you dress up your character in a different color scheme. With Blanka, for example, jab (punch) gives you his classic green body, whereas short (kick) gives you a grayed-out version of the the Brazilian beast. That’s six different colors, but there are two more that are hidden for each Street Fighter character as well. If you hold any of the punch buttons for about a second, you’ll get an alternate color. If you hold any of the kick buttons for about a second, you’ll get another alternate color. In this way, each fighter has at least eight color schemes.
Going back to Blanka, I’m totally digging the color that I get when I hold kick. Try it out and I’ll see you on Xbox Live.
