If ever there was ever a moment that turned exhilarating highs into gut-punching lows so quickly and acutely, it has to have been the moment in which Akuma makes his presence known in Super Street Fighter II Turbo as my lord was this a wake up call.

Standing opposite the one and only M. "Big Boy" Bison is a tense prospect as is, what with the evil dictator's mastery of the Psycho Drive power. Throughout your battles, you've been witness to his sliding low kicks and the infamous Psycho Crusher which mulches health with each hit, yet this time you know you can beat him.

After all, in this scenario you've rushed the arcade without using a single continue, and set a new high score in the process, what more could you do? You've got this!

However, just as the fight is about to start, the screen flashes, and Akuma makes his grand entrance. Your skill has only served to enrage this new combatant and he displays his power immediately by squashing Bison like a bug!

Now it's just you and this flame-haired devil. It's time to steel your nerves, wipe that sweat off your forehead an- oh, I'm dead.

Right on.
