I was going to take that LJ geek quiz.

But then I saw question 19:

"Games: How do you execute a classic Hadoken move?"

The answer is, of course, down-forward-punch. On this quiz, though, the answer is "Put your hands together and shoot a fireball." That's fucking lame. If this was a real geek quiz the answer would be "down-forward-punch."

Shwos how much you know, it's down, down-to-forward, forward punch.

geethree March 31 2005, 04:16:43 UTC

That is implied, you goober.

WRONG AND TOTAL BULLSHIT.

If you knew anything about Street fighter, what about the Shoryuken, which is Down, Forward, Down-Forward, huh?

Diagonals are not implied.

Down-forward-punch has ALWAYS implied down-to-forward-punch where I grew up. ALWAYS. The little "to" was omitted for brevity's sake.

Exceptions such as the shoryuken are exceptions, not the rule.

Same as above.
