I remember being younger and never being able to pull off a Shoryuken. I remember thinking that the in-between down/down-forward was bullsh*t and that Capcom and the entire world was playing a joke on me. When I finally figured it out I had the hardest time being second player and pulling one off from the other direction. D’oh! I always had to be Player 1.
When I was finally good at it some years (years!) later, I remember my sister yelling at me from the other room: “Aroookick! Aroooookick! It’s always Aroooookick!”
