I know it’s been awhile since we did one of these, but hey, I finally got one to give away! Hooray!
Thanks to the great people at Brady Games, I have copy of Street Fighter x Tekken strategy guide to give away to one lucky fighting game fan. So listen up and pay attention. Here is how the contest will work.
Entries will ONLY be accepted from comments to THIS POST. If you reply to me on Twitter or post on the Facebook page, it will not count as an entry. Ye has been warned, so quit yer bitchin’ now.
Once again, due to the expensive nature of international shipping and my pitiful bank account, I can only ship to US fans. International fans, if you really want to enter, then I will have to charge shipping. I’m really, really sorry about that. One day, when I get a ton of ad revenue and donations, I’ll be able to ship internationally. (HINT HINT HINT)
Now that the boring rules are out of the way, here is how you enter:
Are you Team Street Fighter or Team Tekken and why? Most creative answers will go into the Mass Effect hat for the drawing.
The drawing will be tomorrow morning at 10 a.m., CST. Put your creative thinking caps on and get to commenting! This pretty guide is just begging for a new home!
I’m definitely Team Street Fighter. The SF characters are so much more charismatic than the casts of competing franchises like Mortal Kombat, Virtua Fighter, King of Fighters, or, yes, Tekken. Capcom may be slipping in the proofreading department lately, but they certainly can create fun characters.
I’m a Tekken guy! I grew up in arcades and I would play Tekken over street fighter anyday of the week. The characters are and always have been cooler, more interesting styles. Anyone that faced me when I had Eddy Gordo were to only taste the very bitter taste of defeat! That Capoeira style was simply awesome to play.
I have been “Raven” about Tekken since 1996, which was the time I began my teenage years. I hated my family, especially my dad, because he never understood me. But then I figured, “hey, in Tekken, Heihachi threw his son into a volcano! At least my dad isn’t THAT bad.” My dad always became frustrated with me too, but when I showed him Tekken he said “hey, in Tekken Kazuya threw his father down a mountain! I guess my son isn’t so bad!”
We keep learning good moral values from each Tekken incarnation that appears. Now that I’m married and with a kid on the way I plan to always appreciate my son…as long as he doesnt tie me and his grandfather on a rocketship into deep space.
i like playing both games, but I prefer Street Fighter. Who didn’t wish they could do a hadoken back when they were small. I know i tried =]. Besides Chun Li stole my name, except for the Li part =P
Team Street Fighter for Life. I remember the 1st time saw SF II I crossed a 6 lane highway in Maryland and hoped gates to get to the arcade at 12. The 1st site of guile doing just his crouching Heavy Punch uppercut I was hooked. I was mesmerized as the sprites clashed in combat. Back then Guile was my man bc I wanted to be in the military now decades layer I
In the Military flying Blackhawks been to Afghanistan 2 times on my way to number 3… Anyway durin each deployment me and the guys sit for hours in end fighting eachother. Well at least they line up to try to beat me. Even my 5 year old daughter loves SF she wanted to w Chun Li at 4 year old. Lol
With all that said…
Team Street Fighter For Life!!!
I have always been more of a tekken fan over street fighter throughout my life. Blanka always reminded me of the time a was attacked by my dog, and hadoken/shoryuken spamming stole pieces of my soul away. The tekken fighters always seemed much more creative in their styles(you can’t ignore the majesty of lei’s drunken fighting) and the back story was much more appealing in my opinion.(throwing each other down mountains? sexy assassins? need i say more?)
Team Street Fighter all the way. Street Fighter bought people to the arcades in swarms to test their mettle against other players. It had kids fighting in playgrounds screaming “Hadouken!”, and “Dragon Uppercut!”. And let’s not forget the first time we all tried to do a hurricane kick. to sum it all up, Street Fighter re-awoke the inner fighter in all of us and in term revolutionized the competititve multiplayer. On a side note, Chun-Li has THE best legs in all of gaming.
Being the little sister in a house of 4 older boys means I never win. But using Chun-Li’s legs of justice just give a girl hope – a ton of satisfaction. Now I just need to take Chun-Li and show Kuma (because really, what other game has a battle bear) some justice.
Once upon a time I was a Street Fighter fan, but that has changed. I got tired of the fireball spamming bullsquat that I’ve encountered countless times during my time with the Street Fighter games. Not only are there a bunch of pansy players who see fit to win by spamming the heck out of projectiles, but they also want you to fall into their traps by advancing towards them as they do so. If you fail to do this they simply distance themselves a full screen distance away and spam projectiles like it’s the Fourth of July! I’m definitely through with the projectile heavy characters of the Street Fighter universe. It’s Tekken all the way for me!!!
Thanks for the fantastic entries, everyone! It was really hard to pick, but I had to go with the entry that nearly made me do a spit-take.
Congrats, Drew “Iron Fist” Martin! Use the contact form on the site to send me your address!
Thanks everyone, for playing!

Doh! You’re right. I was too busy laughing at the different witty responses to remember. I officially suck.
