- For
- Street Fighter II players and memoir readers
- Worth noticing
- Chapter excerpts include a local-arcade “champ” and a chapter called “Let's Talk About Cheap,” about winning a quarter—and possibly a fight.
Field notes
The chapter selector pairs player labels such as “1P Wolfe” and “2P” with titles and short passages, giving the excerpts an arcade-match framing. The page also identifies the Evo 2006 final as Alex’s Dhalsim against Graham’s Balrog, and notes that Graham taught him the game while they waited for the bus.
