Shoryuken’s surprisingly entertaining ” WakeUp SRK ” podcast covers all kinds of topics in the fighting game community, and had an especially interesting episode this week. 

Rather than focus on famous players or tournament tricks, they sit down with a player who’s brand new to the scene, “iNerd.”  They talk about his transition from Yu-Gi-Oh (!) to Street Fighter, how he found his way into the fighter community, and his quest to be excellent in his gaming, rather than just “kinda good at a lot of things.” 

Very interesting stuff– listen to it here .  If you started playing Street Fighter for the first time in the SFIV era, what did you think?  What has your experience been like?
