Moving to PC as My Fighting Game Platform of Choice?
January 14, 2021 January 7, 2021 Jett2 Comments
Playing fighting games on PC wasn't really an avenue I put much thought into pursuing. Up until recently, I didn't have PC hardware capable of running video games at all. Even if I did, the PC has played second fiddle to home consoles as the tournament standard ever since the fall of the arcades. Home consoles were easier to set up while providing players with a standardized battleground. Consoles don't have issues with game performance varying from one PC to the next or having to worry about driver support for every possible controller option. As someone who took fighting games seriously and competed at IRL tournaments, I was going to take the tournament standard every time.
Things are…different now. I haven't competed in an IRL tournament in a few years. Even if I wanted to, the entire fighting game tournament scene is in flux due to the ongoing pandemic. Also, I finally have a PC capable of running fighting games. If I were to ever give fighting games on PC a chance, it would be right now.

We play Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection as a jumping off point for an extended conversation about what I liked and didn't like in the Arcade1Up Street Fighter II machine. I wanted to like it so much, but the issues I had with it were too hard to ignore. The short story is the video at the top, and the full stream is below where I also answer questions and share my overall thoughts on the arcade cabinet!

Debating the Merits of Buying an Arcade 1UP Street Fighter II Arcade Machine
December 5, 2018 December 5, 2018 Jett3 Comments
There are no shortage of reasons for not owning an arcade machine. They're expensive. They take up a lot of space. Unless you're hacking it to run MAME and taking away the "purity" of the original game, their functions are pretty limited. They're a pain to maintain. The list goes on.
But if I were to ever own an arcade machine…just one…it would be a Street Fighter II cabinet. One of the most symbolic machines in all of arcade culture, I have vivid memories of that game blowing my mind when I first saw it and spent too many quarters playing it over the years. Best of all, it's still a great game worth playing today.
Arcade 1Up caught my eye when they announced a few months back that they were releasing new Street Fighter II machines. Having now stumbled across them at my local Walmart, my mind is in a tizzy trying to figure out if this is the time to finally make a lifelong dream of mine come true. In order to sort my feelings out, I'm going to write out both sides of the argument and see where I land at the end.
