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.

We'll start off the working week with a card that, just like early monday mornings after a weekend bender with alcohol, UFS and perhaps a total of 16 hours in a tiny-ass car, likely pisses you off. This card is none other than what singlehandedly made absolutely no sense about King of Fighters 2006, the Addes Syndicate. What seems to be two very happy men (one of which redefines what "black skin" means, but probably not since he's an alien, and yes folks, I am not kidding) about to embrace each other may have, with the help of it's friends, turned more people away from UFS than Rare Cassandra frrom the first set. Since everyone and their mother has talked about this card already, covering it's multiple uses (HAHA!) is going to be difficult, yet read on if you want to know exactly why this card fetches about 55 clams per on your favorite place to buy cards (pick one, really, it doesn't matter).

Ah, the attack that pretty much cemented my like and dislike of Gill as Street Fighter 3's endboss. Once it hits, it's generally game over in that game, and while it doesn't enjoy the same power in UFS, it does, however throw one hefty monkey wrench in aggro's game plan. Not only that, but even on offense, it's still a whole truckload of damage for a truckload of difficulty. Since it's a character only, we only have to consider the only two published versions of Gill, but it's quite powerful in both, and you'll see exactly how if you read this particular Card of the Day feature.
