I was probably 10 at the time. I was in a movie theater and there was a crowd around a machine. Not sure what movie I was going to see (maybe Ninja Turtles 2 or Earnest Scared Stupid, some dumb kid stuff)
It was Street Fighter II and I picked Blanka. I didn't know how to do special moves so I thought by mashing the buttons he would do something cool. My train of thought was: "Maybe if press jab, fierce & roundhouse the green man will do something special" But I kept jumping and kicking/punching like a scrub asshole since that seemed to work pretty well. Occasionally I would fire off his electric shock without knowing how I did it. Surprisingly I won!!!! But quickly lost to a Ken who knew what they were doing. He SHORYUKENed me to death.
I begged my mom for another quarter but the movie was going to start. Leaving the theater I was still psyched about my puny win.
