    Well, I was just enjoying Street Fighter IV’s ranked mode when I figured “why not keep track of my wins and losses?” So I think I’ll be adding a regular Street Fighter segment to my blogs. Without further ado, here you have it (all matches were played with Akuma):

    1. The first round was against, you guessed it, Ken. This guy was bad. I mean really bad. So bad that I had to take 69 BP away from him.
    2. My second round was against the unconventional (and arguably unpopular) “El Fuerte.” My opponent was a bit of a jump addict, which Akuma does not take kindly to. I walked away 76 BP richer.
    3. In my third round I fought another Ken, this time with a mic. Though I prepared for the worst, I actually ended up liking my opponent. I lost amicably and walked away with only 7 BP less.
    4. My fourth round saw me pitted against a Ryu player. Both players took a round, but Ryu took one more than I. Lost 14 BP on that one.
    5. Next was Balrog. This character’s moves leave him so vulnerable to hadokens. Apparently we weren’t evenly matched at all, as I took 99 BP away at the end of the match.
    6. Ken again. This one was also addicted to jumping, which is what got him KO’d. Took 63 of his BPs.
    7. Ken. This one was pretty good and ended up taking 28 of my BP. It might just be my aching pride, but I felt like there was some lag here and there.
    8. Yes, another Ken. This one was reckless, repeatedly submitting himself to punishment after throwing shoryukens to the wind. In fact, he threw a Super Shoryuken that got him caught with a game-winning Raging Demon. 52 BP nom nom nom.
    9. This one hurt, as it rendered my previous fight with Ken obsolete and then some. Another Akuma player, this one superior to my own. Bugger took 62 of my BP.
    10. The tenth round saw me lose to an exceptional Abel player; an excellent fight that ended up costing me a mere 7 BP.
    11. Ah, my final Ken fight. At this point I almost pray for my opponents to pick Ken so I can slap the shit out of them. This match-up saw me slap 82 BP out of my opponent, anyway.
    12. Blanka was the last recorded fight of the night, and oh what a ringer. After watching one round slip through his fingers, my Akuma came back and won the next two, taking an impressive 109 BP from my indubitably enraged opponent.

    My total BP at the end of the night was 690. As much as I would like to tell you how much it was when the night began, I didn’t record that and am too lazy to do that fancy pants math stuff to figure it out. Thanks for reading.

    Were these just random fights? Because you KNOW i would fuck up your crappy Akuma with my Blanka. Also i'm really enjoying using El Fuerte at the moment, he's a lot of fun - though weak as hell....

    Sounds like you did pretty good. 20x better than I would do if I played the game online. That's why I don't.

    sounds like a good run. wish replay saves were available now, it would be great to watch old footage from classic match ups and favorite matches.

    @Sweep: No. I will smack you the next time we meet. In. The face. I AM THE ROAD CAPTAIN! =P
    @Meltbrain: I sure would like to play against a good Ken. What's your gamertag? Mine's Easy Boss.
    @All Those Who Thought I Did Well: Thanks! =D

    Hmm, in many situations, I am the really bad Ken, having only won twice =/.

    He may be weak as Hell, but his Ultra hurts like crazy!

    End_Boss...I think we need to have a couple matches.  = D  I didn't see a Cammy ANYWHERE on your list, and I need to get in with some good Akumas.  = D
