Take a good hard look at that replay above. That's the oldest replay of myself in Super Street Fighter IV ranked match, at least the oldest I had on my laptop. Its a mess. It make sense to, I had only recently figured out Cammy was main character in late Vanilla Street Fighter IV and was largely due her alt (which makes zero sense but still love it). And yet without that alt, I wouldn't have figured out not only Cammy was the perfect fit for me but rush down characters in fighting games.

 

Compare that to this replay taken from late 2014. SF IV now has Ultra moniker in front of its name and some new gimmicks. As my skills, they are...OK ish. I've definitely have improved some, learned some new things, and picked up a few bad habits.

 

Finally, this was me from last December 2015, getting my third B rank with Cammy in the SF IV series, this time in Ultra SF IV for the PS4. My skills are pretty much the same here.

 

Its weird looking back on yourself, seeing how much you've grown (or haven't). I don't know what to call myself. I still lack the ability to do most of the basic combos you are supposed to do. I make armature mistakes that cost me wins. And yet I stuck it out. I really don't know why but I did. In way that's probably one of highest points of my time with the SF IV series.

 

And here a I am a few weeks ago in the final beta for Street Fighter V. Back to restart again, sort of. The Cammy player at the top of this blog isn't quite here anymore but he hasn't quite gone away. I'm no savant, no K-Brad, but I've learned quite a few things from my time in SF IV and I am not a push over. Well at least not all of the time. Much like this rambled mess of a blog, I've stuck it out for this long. Might as well see how well I do for the next few years.
