A big trip to the past, with a run with Chun-Li in the vanilla version of SF4, which is approaching 20 years old soon. Crazy how time flies, for real.

SF4 was the game that I originally cut my teeth in way back when entering the FGC. Now that I'm long since out of it and doing my own thing, thanks to emulation (since you can't purchase this game anymore on Steam), I wanted to revisit just how the original game was like. Since Sakura is a gameplay locked character (GASP! NON-DLC!?), Chun-Li is more than enough to take the reigns on this travel back. Before Red Focus, before the massive character expansions, the multiple Ultras, before the announcer made me want to kill myself... here is Capcom's big comeback to fighting games from 2008.
