... has arrived, i went pad instead of stick because i tryed my mates stick and didnt really get allong with it. 
Now its time to get some decent practice in for he next two weeks so i can get back up to speed, having not played street fighter properly since 3 was released. 
Expect to see me about very soon guys, I look forward to getting back on the street fighter scene again.

Glad to see another pad warrior.    :)
