Me and my friends talk tech about the iPhone 3GS. Ok, we talk a little smack too.

This Game is the Perfect Storm. Just when I thought that it could not get any better, Capcom is bringing new options to Street Fighter IV in it’s upcoming free update. This game is keeping it real to it’s roots. Not only did it bring back the best of the original gameplay, it’s keeping the serious gamers on point with the Championship Mode:
Street Fighter IV’ s new Championship Mode update gives players the chance to keep their skills up and put all those hours of perfecting the combos to good use by competing in tournaments. Players can also watch replays of the best tournament matches to get their strategery on and learn new fight patterns and combos. I think this is amazing, and inspiring. They are bringing the old arcade feel back with this mode. I remember hanging out in the arcades with my buds and watching the players put up their quarters and fight, being in awe and hoping to absorb some of the tricks and combos from the best.

The Championship Mode update will be available for both PS3 and Xbox 360 owners on Friday, April 24 (times TBD), and it’s totes free.

The Deets on Champion Mode:
Championship Mode offers you the chance to compete in 5 different grades of tournaments, so that all skill levels are represented. No matter your experience with StreetFighting, there’ll be a bracket for you.

Grade Points (GP) are scored for tourney wins, and the more GPs you accumulate, you’ll become eligible for more exclusive tourneys.
Winning tournaments will also net you Championship Points (CP). Championship Points is like, the Prize Package.
The higher the GP skill of the players in a particular tournament, the bigger the CP prize!
Replay Mode allows you to select and watch the best Championship Mode tournament matches.

Points of Interest:
* On the PlayStation Network, you can rate matches while you watch according to characteristics such as “ awesome” or “ funny.” Replays are then ranked based on these vote ratings.
* On Xbox Live, instead of rating the matches, you can choose to download and save your favorite replays to study the players’ techniques. You’ ll also be able to turn on the input commands from both players to be able to review their button and joystick motions in precise detail.
ok, XboX360, how dope is this? There is no end to playing this game, as long as there are so many awesome players out there to learn from.

HaDuKen!
This update gets a bonus *Jazz Hands* from LizMoney.
