To be the best, you have to beat the best: Street Fighter IV: Arcade Edition.
After braving Pride parade traffic and finally making it to South Town, Miskic emerged six hours later as tournament champion, despite arriving late and taking a default loss. As he stepped outside to speak with me, a girl handed him a congratulatory portrait she had drawn of Balrog, his character of choice in the day's matches. Inside, even though the tournament was over, no one seemed ready to leave. A small circle began gathering around the Street Fighter II cabinet.
"I'll add that I'm really bad at this game," Miskic said. "I consider myself terrible. That's the thing that I like about it, though. Because there's always a constant challenge between the old-school people and the new-school people coming up, once you're around the community for long enough, people will get used to you. You'll make friends in it. People will help each other out."
