    Some of you may recall I held a tournament here for Ireland's favourite chocolate bar. Well here I go again. Little bit more niche this time but let's see how we get on.

    latest?cb=20080210004612

    Most of us would have grown up with a Sega Megadrive or SNES. One of the top games around was undoubtedly Street Fighter. It boasted an array of colourful and eccentric characters with outrageous special moves. Who was favourite? We're gonna pit the 12 characters from Street Fighter against each other in a 12 man tournament. Since twelve isn't a tournament-friendly number, the 4 recognised Boss characters receive a bye into the quarter finals.


    First to get to 7 votes will progress into the next round. Try to include reasons for your choices such as moves you liked etc. All draws are made using a random number generator.

    It's Blanka for me. I used to pick him when playing against my mates using the logic that he was a big green monster so I'm guaranteed to win (:rolleyes:) and because I was a huge Incredible Hulk fan as a youngfella.

    Solid reasons. Plus he could electrocute kunts. That's why I'm voting for him and giving him the win.

    Blanka wins 7-5

    My Blanka always wins against (my mates) Guile because of spamming Electric Thunder.

    Hmm. I could always kick the shit out of the lot of them with Guile, but my favourite was Ken.

    E. Honda because I though Sumo wrestlers were funny looking when I was smaller and because Vince McMahon had me trained to hate Russians back then.

    Easy win for E-Honda, his handslap was paradise for the button basher.. Zangief seemed a little slow in comparison

    Zangief for me because that spinning piledriver was a thing of beauty when you could pull it out of the bag.

    E.Honda can f*ck **** up. Zangief was extremely limited but best against the likes of Ken/Ryu and Chun-Li.


    E.Honda Wins
