For some reason, the original Street Fighter turning 25 doesn't effect me too much. I'll feel really old when Street Fighter 2 hits 25 years old.
they kinda did that with Street Fighter III, no? Ryu definitely looks older than SFII, and SFIV takes place between II and III.
My friend and partner in crime, Ken Williams (former Sushi-X of EGM) was a real SF1 afficionado (in fact, he still is), even more so that SF2. He could do some real damage in that game. I've never seen consistent fireballs and dragon punches in SF1 until I saw him play. Pretty amazing.
.... Terry?
..... Yes?

Ken is supposed to be an old dude now.

Dude! Awesome! This may sound real geeky, but it's an honor to e-meet ya.I had a sub to EGM for several years back in the seminal days. Loved your tips section. Always was ready to see what ol' Trickman Terry had to say about the latest codes/tips.
Ha! That's awesome, we got EGM writers runnin' around here.
Does he have a cabinet? Is it the pneumatic button one?
A fireball or uppercut in SF1 can be a one hit knockout if well timed! If you can do the consistently you can easily beat the game.
Does he have any tips?
He has a SF2: C.E. cabinet (Dynamo). He goes over to Galloping Ghost every once in a while and plays their SF1. He learned on the pneumatic button one, I remember him telling me that.
Here's an article by Ken on the Street Fighter series as of last year:

Rumor Trivia -- did you know that the Flaming Jump Kick in the original Street Fighter is REAL? A prototype Street Fighter ROM revealed that before the hurricane kick was developed, Ryu and Ken could unleash a flaming jump kick, much like the cabinet art suggested. However, the move was even worse to use then the hurricane kick, and almost impossible to use during a battle. As most Street Fighter masters know, jumping in SF1 is a death sentence, and you have to jump to pull off the move. Thus, the switch to an easier, more stylized move, the hurricane kick. Hint: jump straight up and do a hurricane kick motion + kick at the height of your jump to execute the fabled Flaming Jump Kick. Like the other special moves, it removes 1/3 of the enemy's life bar if it connects. Don't believe me? Then the joke's on you.
Terry, is this just another joke?? Is the ROM in MAME?
No joke, I've personally watched him do the move. Yes, it's on a prototype ROM of SF1 and I believe it's in MAME.
