Taking it old school here folks, especially with Vintage worlds coming up in a few days and ALL the character cards (sorry Hugo*** and Ibuki* not you two) are legal or play. I'm taking it back to the days of UFS being ran and operated by Sabertooth Games. Back when the STG staff made a tour of stops in several "brick and mortar" stores, including the one I work for now. I remember that I didn't have any cards at the time to make a deck but when I did want to make one, one of my fellow New York players asked me which character did I like from the Street Fighter of Soul Calibur series. I didn't have many options at the time but I chose one card in particular... Ryu (Type 2). Being that this was my first character card, I pretty much stuck with it for at least a year and a half. (Until I discovered Starter Deck Mai from Domination and R. Mika from Extreme Rivals... now that's my favorite character :) But more on that another day.)

 What makes this card so good? Well let's take a look at it.
