Street Fighter IV!!!

Oh man, am I ever glad this came out... I mean, I miss the characters from SFIII (specifically Ibuki, Elena, and Oro), and wish they were in this game, but SFIV is pretty good.

The strange thing though... The opening theme song... At first, I hated it. Then it grew on me. Huh. Whaddayaknow, and whodathunkit?

One complaint I keep hearing is how the last boss' name is a little non-threatening/anti-climactic.

For those who don't give a flying flip about Street Fighter Lore, and who probably don't wanna see my inner geeky fanboyness, we're done. You can stop reading here. For the rest of you a spoiler warning:

SPOILERS!!!

Here's what I think the deal is...

There are two characters with conspicuous names in SFIV: Abel and Seth.

Now, those of us who remember anything about the book of Genesis will notice that the two names are related in that they are both names of children borne of Adam and Eve. Well, where's Cain?

Were I a gambling man, I'd be willing to bet the following... Bear with me now:

In Abel and Guile's story modes, Abel lets on that he knows of another man who can do the sonic boom. Now, while it's evident that Seth can do the SB, we don't really have reason to think that Abel knows much about him. Additionally, it's also pretty plain that our boy Abel has been experimented on pretty extensively. Now, this is where it gets kinda out there... I'm willing to bet that Charlie Nash (you know, that guy Guile has been looking for) is Cain, and that when they release another Street Fighter IV (hey, they released two other versions of SFIII, so it's not that farfetched...) he will either be playable (like Urien), hidden, or a boss himself. So, instead of killed, he could have merely been captured and experimented on.

Since they retconned the death of Gouken, they could probably retcon the death of Charlie as well... Though, if Guile has been looking for him all this time, we can't really say for sure that he died now, can we?

Or maybe I'm just sick of Guile's tired old story and want it to end... Who knows?

*Ahem*
END SPOILERS!!!

In other news, another year, another Dominance War... OH YEAH!
