Don’t hold back your true potential! Win 10 Ranked Matches in a row!
Well, after a few failed attempts at trying organise a boosting session for it on TrueAchievements, I managed to win it legit. It was so different to how I won the win-10-ranked-games-in-a-row Achievement in regular Street Fighter IV. There, I was flitting between ranked and custom games, not really paying much attention to what type of match I was winning and what type of match I was losing. When it popped I was both amazed, confused and a little relieved that I didn’t have to stress over winning it.
So, there I was, just playing to pass some time, waiting for Jane to come home from work and luckily I kept getting matched against poor players – only one or two of the people I played were actually any good and threatened to break my streak. I thought I had a 7 win streak just before I went for tea, but it said in my stats that my highest streak was now 8 (before this it was 7, thanks to T.Hawk). After tea I went back and got lucky again – a rubbish Shoryuken-happy Ken and a Dee-Jay with 130 BP who I don’t think knew what he was doing. It helped that I was absolutely on fire with Adon.
It got a little bit tense towards the end, and although there were some very reckless shenanigans going on (repeated full screen Jaguar Tooth which no-one seemed to want to block, ridiculous amounts of cross-ups into full combos which no-one punished me for, all out offence, very little regard for defending), it all seemed to go my way!
