Kotaku.com has a nifty story up about two guys who built their friend a custom Street Fighter 4 cabinet for his birthday.At the time, I had midterms and Figge was working from 9am-9pm. So over the course of five days, we collectively had 4.5 man-hours to build the arcade. Four point five.
Oh and we didn't have any power tools either.
Hell, we didn't even have the FightStick! After calling every Gamestop, BestBuy, and pawnshop in the tricounty area, we discovered that FightSticks were sold out everywhere. Upon brief inspection, our bullet-proof plan had more holes than a post-hadouken slice of swiss cheese.
I gotta say, that guy has some really cool friends.
