When Street Fighter 2 came out in 1992, I played it alot. I mean really alot. So much that my SNES buttons got indented and my fingers had blisters. My favorite character back then was Dhalism, also known as “that stretchy indian guy that sucked.”  Well, I decided to make him “my guy” and “my guy” he became. I kicked some serious ass with that dude. I was a SF2 Dhalism bad-ass.

Unfortunately my mother didn’t see it that way.

Find out why after the break!

You see, whenever Dhalism threw a fireball, he said either “yoga fire” or “yoga flame.” Since I played this game so much, the sound “yoga fire” was heard ad-nauseum as far as my mom was concerned. She kept saying, “what is all that ‘joe got fired’ , ‘joe got sane’ stuff. ” I kid you not, that’s what she thought he was saying.

I found this hilarious.

Well guess what mom?! Here we are 15 years later, and Dhalism as well as Ryu, Ken, & Chun-Li were all just announced as playable characters in the new Street Fighter 4! So far the clips look awesome and apparently it will keep the 2d fighting style (with 3d graphics) and the 6 button usage!

Joe got fired is back baby. Joe got fired is back!
