Hi gang,
One of my other obsessions aside from footbag and chess is a little game called Street Fighter. SF is the gold standard of fighting games, and considered to be high speed chess using a complex rock-paper-scissors system. Before footbag for me, there was Street Fighter, and now many people in our Sole Purpose Group play the new version. In fact, the SF scene is much like the footbag culture; an interconnected group of people, lots of tech talk, tons of videos, grassroots tournies (and one massive event called Evo), and clubs all over the world. There is even an SF forum that is very similar to this one. Anyway, this thread is for any freestyle footbag players that play Street Fighter as well. Shoryuken!
