I am in Blackpool. It is shit. Convince me otherwise.

Embarrassingly, for a game I own, I never clocked that.

Also, I got SSF2T for free on the PS Store downloaded on the PS3 before we had to do a factory reset, and though I was able to get to Akuma on the "softened for home play" difficulty (as opposed to the "and this was the bastard in the arcade" levels) - I never beat him. Not fucking once.

Which I imagine would have been frustrating in an arcade in Blackpool too.

There's a great video of Daigo trying to fight Akuma and 1cc the version of Super Turbo on the 30th anniversary collection. It takes him a while.

To this day, I've never played any version of SF2 in Blackpool.

The first time I played it, when it first came out and was the hottest game around, was at Pleasureland in Morecambe. They had three or four of them set up with massive screens, and the controls on a sort of desk with a bench for you to sit on. As they weren't in the official cabinets, there were no instructions and the buttons were unlabelled, so I just got totally flummoxed by the six buttons and was quickly trounced. I think I was Guile.
