If You Build It, They Will Come
April 28th, 2008 Seth Killian
So we blew the secret Street Fighter dog-whistle this last weekend. Audible only to tournament champions (and, strangely, possums), the whistle attracted a slew of top Street Fighter players from across the country, with representatives flying in from across the east coast, midwest, west coast, and Texas (which is kind of its own thing) to help us test Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix to its limits.
Everyone was rabid for the game, and in addition to some intense and productive testing sessions, the guys (yes, they were all dudes) also made a stop at Northern California’s premier underground arcade. Names have been omitted to protect those lying to friends and family members about exactly what they were up to this weekend.

Sausage party!
No, seriously, I envy all of you that could be there…
Haha, Cole steals the show with the double thumbs up. Was he there? I hope so, because he was crying real hard about STHD remix changes a few weeks ago. I bet if he was there to try it out, he changed his tune. At least I hope so!
Yes, Cole was there (this picture is from the test, not like some archival shot of Cole, so that’s him testing). He seemed to be having a pretty good time with Dhalsim, who didn’t really get the nerf hammer.
Cole always steals the show!
Seth, check your unity forum private messages! You has mail!

Haha, that’s the first thing I noticed, too.
Sirlin was loving it!
Unrelated note: Where was Daigo?! Perhaps he’s sitting on a throne somewhere in the back, with hordes of beautiful, topless women attending to him (you know, God of War-style), but I don’t see him there.
That said, my Daigo-recognition skills aren’t great. I’ll need to brush up on them if I plan to kidnap Daigo and conduct secret personality tests on him to find the source of his 1337ness.

PS. Yes, I know the article said “Street Fighter players from across the country”, but that fact didn’t suit my humourous writing purposes. Now you all say: “What humourous writing?”
