SFIV: Fur Flies at Capcom HQ

Mar 18, 2008 // s-kill

Last Friday, immediately after the weekly Play Against Capcom session , Capcom played with itself. Divided along the ancient tribal lines of Marketing and Product Development, the groups decided to settle their differences with a few rounds of Street Fighter IV. The battle pitted the Marketing department’s “Pants-on-Fire-Liars” vs Product Development’s “Paying More than 10$ for a Haircut is for Suckers” squad. It was exactly like West Side Story if they worked office jobs and could not dance even a little bit.

The bloodbath of scrubbery included representatives of such unpopular dojos as Dean’s school of “I refuse to touch the joystick and will only hit buttons” and a general acknowledgment that blocking is cheap. While I believe the teams decided the contest ended in a draw, I feel it’s more accurate to say they all lost. Tune in next week to see if any of them can defeat me while I play with one hand tied behind my back.
