More Street Fighter Birthdays in The Later Years

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY, EVERYBODY!

And that's not the only thing we're celebrating today. In the 2008 world of Street Fighter, we celebrate a couple of birthdays today.

First of all, I'd neglected to send a Big Happy to Blanka, who, on February 12th, turned 42! Who knows? Maybe I just forgot because he's not exactly one of the friendliest or most personable of our Street Fighter friends. I can just hear him now, saying to Zangief and Dhalsim, "I have no interest in your birthday party."

Then again, maybe that's the one thing that can make him smile!

I did, however, remember to celebrate today's Street Fighter birthday. Ken Masters turned 43 today! And what nicer birthday present to have than his Hadouken powers back? Thank you, Sam Reich and Dan Gurewitch, for that!

Happy Birthday, Ken! Welcome back to the Street Fighter circuit! You've still got it, bro!
