Posted up today on Shoryuken.com are links to downloads & youtubes of the final 10 matches in the Evo West Super Turbo tournament. Personally I prefer Turbo, but Super Turbo is my second favourite 'pure' Street Fighter - and watching such high quality play just makes me weak at the knees. There's a real sense of epic battle that I don't really get from newer fighting games... there's just something about the old school Streets.

Check out the links at http://shoryuken.com/?p=125

Also worth reading is Dave Sirlin's blog on the same match vids, describing his thoughts during his matches. Very good insights within: http://www.sirlin.net/archive/my-evolution-west-2007-performance/

Oh, and I forgot to mention that AfroLegends has the scariest Boxer I've ever seen. I caught his RTSD matches against Valle last year, and his rushdown scared the crap out of me even when I wasn't playing... Deejay is his second char and he only played boxer twice!

Any sufficiently godlike street fighter technique is indistinguishable from randomness
