If you haven't been living under a rock since the late '80s then you've heard of the Street Fighter series. Ultra Street Fighter IV is the latest and greatest iteration and currently has a loyal following across 3 platforms - Xbox, Playstation and PC. Take control of one of the 44 playable characters and kick the ever-loving shit out of your pals for an amazing competitive (read as: you're going to get hella salty) experience. Toribash has a handful of people that I know who play and I'm sure there's a few more amongst you that must want to kick the shit out of us as much as we want to kick the shit out of you!
Here's the trailer:
Still on the fence? So was I, here's the latest video from Ultra Excellent Adventures of Gootecks and Mike Ross - you might not know everything that they're talking about (and neither did I when I started) but if you find this interesting to watch then it's a good indication as to whether or not you'd like to play the game with friends. I began this way and now I know what they're talking about at the very least - even though I'm not on their level at all.

Now that's done and you've bought Ultra Street Fighter (that's right, you don't have a choice. Go buy it. Now.) We can get into the good stuff. Here's the current roster list of characters in Ultra, you may want to start with one in particular before branching out. Once you've chosen a character you'd like to main, check out their move-list and put it into action in-game. It may seem daunting at first, but a lot of us are still fairly new to this game so we can all be bad together.
