Street Fighter's Impact On My Interest In Fighting Games Plus USF4 Code Contest!!!

I've told this story a few times on this blog. A story about how I grew up in an extremely religious home with parents who frowned upon violent entertainment, and who strictly adhered to the various ratings systems implemented across the entirety of the entertainment industry. I mentioned that it wasn't until my 13th birthday (through some begging & desperate pleading) that I was able to convince my mother to buy me "Street Fighter II: Championship Edition" for the Sega Genesis as a birthday present. Of course after that big feat my world opened up in huge ways allowing me to enjoy various other fighting games, and violent video games while not being strictly monitored or chastised for doing so. Street Fighter, more or less, was my gateway into fighting games and so much more. Some things to my moral detriment ... certain adult things. That aside I have invested years of my life in playing, enjoying, and learning fighting games. None more so than Street Fighter though. It is for that very reason I decided to pre-order Capcom's "Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection". I wanted to relive the moments I experienced as I played through the various series entries in the Street Fighter game library, and after having picked up my copy today I aim to do just that. I don't expect the games to be as impressive as they were the first time around, but the trip down memory lane will be more than worth the $40 asking price. At least to me.

Having pre-ordered the "Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection" I received a code for "Ultra Street Fighter IV". I already own this game on the PS4, and would love to pass it on to a deserving gamer who is a member of this site. The catch is that you have to be a member to comment, and that your comment must describe the defining moment in your gaming history where you first got into fighting games. Elaborate on what inspired you to play fighting games, and which fighting game got you hooked. Things along those lines. I will pick the winner myself, and award that winner on Twitter or through email their prize. In your comment entry be sure to leave your Twitter username or your email address so that I can contact you if you are the chosen winner. Good luck to all those that enter! Do note that this is a 'US/NA' code for the Playstation 4 version of "Ultra Street Fighter IV". Anyone from any region is welcome to enter for the code though.

You have until Friday (June 1, 2018) at 12PM EST to enter!!!
