So yeah, I was playing with Street Fighter Alpha 2.  Seriously, this is a really good game.  I actually won!  Considering I racked up hours in the arcade on the original SF2 and even more hours on the Super Nintendo version, I better be good at this game.

The graphics are excellent (for a game from 1996) and this game is just fun, even in 2008.  Here I am actually winning.

For the record:  I've always had trouble getting the Dragon Punch off.  It's the one move I could never master.  However, from my frustration arose a combo that has worked in every SF game I've tried. (From the original SF2 all the way up to the SF3 series.  I'll see if it works in SF4 wheneve rI can get my hands on it.)  You can see it at about the 80 seconds left mark in Round Two.  (Right before he gets dizzy.)  It's an uppercut (strong punch) followed _immediately_ by a Fireball.  It probably does about as much damage as a dragon punch, looks cooler, and the fireball can't be blocked if the uppercut hits.  I've actually never seen anyone else do this, though I'm sure I'm not the only one who discovered it.

So yeah... go me!
