When Street Fighter IV came out, I spent several months consumed with making my own custom fightstick. Weighing the options for different switches, color coordination, the pros and cons of different gate options. Probably spent at least 100 hours looking for the perfect image for the decal on top alone. When I finally had it all together I was over the moon.

Then, almost immediately, I realized that I didn’t actually like playing Street Fighter that much, and completely lost interest in the hobby. Checked that one off the list, I guess.
