Splitkick: It’ll be exactly 24 years since the release of the Street Fighter series on August 30th, which makes me just a tad over a year older than the entire series. With a series as old as Street Fighter it shouldn’t be of any surprise that the entire game has evolved with each iteration, no matter how rapid. We’ve made it to 2011, and in return we’ve got the latest release entitled “Arcade Edition” or AE for short. Before AE, we had Super Street Fighter IV which was an improved version of Street Fighter IV. So let’s assume that AE brought the same level of balance changes and improvements to the game, then it should theoretically be the best yet, right?

Joining the prestigious ranks of Namco Funscape, Las Vegas Soho and The Four Quarters ; VEGA London (as it is known) is located in the basement of a building known from the outside as VEGAS. It represents the building’s video game arcade section (the ground level floor is populated with gambling machines, in a similar setup to the Las Vegas arcade in Soho). VEGA London is a miniature arcade, yes, but what it lacks in size it more than makes up for with in-demand arcade titles. Combine this with being situated in one of the most achingly cool neighborhoods in Central London (Angel, Islington) and you begin to appreciate what a formidable little pocket rocket this awesome little venue is".
