Hadoken. kinda. We subjected ourselves to the new Street Fighter movie so you don't have to. In hindsight I would have rather stuck to the original plan of drinking acid and burning the soles of our feet with lit cigarettes. Not sure how that plan came to fruition but it was way better than what we actually did.
