The King of Fighters
Growing up in Brownsville the rule was NO GRABBING and if you got grabbed you were then able to get your grab back so lets say its round three and yall both low on health and you grab to win the match if you didnt apologize and give up your character it turned from video game Street Fighter to real life Street Fighter and nyggas aint going to arcades alone so you getting jumped over 25 cents and a grab
I'll never forget the first time I went to chinatown arcade I thought I was NICE being the big fish in a small pond kicking ass in brownsville but when I started swimming in the ocean with REAL SHARKS that shyt had me questioning any and everything I ever believed in
I was like "yall nikkas are corny grabbing that shyt is weak play me without grabbing"
*Proceed to get worked without any grabs or special moves just plain fukking spacing and fundamentals*

I learned then if you aint playing against the best you aint never going to get any better
I actually became friends with some of the heavyweights (I never seen someone dominate like Justin Wong during the MVC2 days)
Yeah, i think the no grab rule was the unofficial rule in damn near every area back in them days cuz back then, grabs couldn't be broken or anything. But yeah, 1nce the pro scene caught on and grabs were made breakable, it got thrown to the bushes.
