For a brief moment, I was one of the *16 best Street Fighter IV players in the U.S. I'd like to say I've held on to the position many months later, but I stepped away from competitive play. Still, my love for Capcom's classic series remains, as do the relevant articles I've written and the many videos featuring my beloved Zangief (picture to the left). He's such a brutish man's man.
*Yes, I realize GameStop's tournament forced players to use regular 360 controllers a.k.a. "pads" and didn't allow arcade sticks - the preferred input device among the pros, effectively tainting the competition's legitimacy. Whatever. GameStop called us the best in the nation and I'm not about to refuse the descriptor. I can't eat this Minnesota humble pie forever...
Random Tidbits:
- Wanna go a round? Hit me up on Xbox Live. Gamertag: Coyotegrey
- I have an arcade stick but I prefer the pad.
- Some spectators at the nationals called me a "pad warrior." Still not sure if it was a compliment.
- Zangief and I form a special bond preventing me from learning another character.
- I am not Russian.

*Disclamer - Many of these are very old. I have greatly improved.
