Oh yeah - I got into SFII at the arcade after, if IIRC, it was EGM that had a HUGE article/tutorial on all of the character's moves and how to execute on them. I still remember studying it like this meant something in life, going to the arcade and pulling off the Dragon Punch and the crowd standing around reacting like it was hardcore.
On a side note, I actually appear in pictures in an issue of EGM because they did a promotional thing at my arcade when the very first Tekken game came out. I happened to be there and sort of got recruited to participate. So now there are pictures of me playing the game. Another picture has an image of the arcade sign on the building and my car was parked just underneath so the '85 Camaro in that picture was my car all published in that issue of EGM.
And on another side note to this thread - it's "display rotation" time in my collection. So I took down my authentic Dune 2 movie poster and McFarlane figures to start putting up an SFII display. So it's an authentic SFII The Animated Movie poster and now I'm populating the case with the Jada figures.
Those are amazing - the last SFII figures you'll ever need to buy.
