At my college dorm, I used to play SFII on SNES with the pre-frat guys down the hall. Those days I'd only use Dhalsim. Most of them were pretty good players, but they didn't have much experience playing against Dhalsim, and they'd always mispronounce his name. Later they told me they were given cruel nicknames as part of the hazing humiliation, and the frat boys named one lanky dark-complected dude DHAL-ISM.

I spent many hours playing SFII when I lived in Japan. It was a unique experience that was more like playing in a casino than in an American arcade. When playing a 2 player video game, your opponet would be on the oposite side of the cabinet and out of plain view. When a game was over it was customary for the loser to walk around the cabinet to see who had shamed him. After a victory, I would never show it in my face, but in my head I was screaming, "YOU HAVE BEEN DEFEATED BY ME! BLANKA! RAAARRRGH!".
