== Rise of Biff in the Street Fighter Series ==
Biff's interest in the beat-em-ups during the 90s led to a strong career in the Street Fighter series. He has owned a copy of every single version of this game that was ever released on console. He has never specialised on one to reach the top in the World, however he holds a good knowledge in them overall, presenting a strong challenge to anyone within the UK. During 1999-2000 Biff was learning some good skills in Street Fighter Alpha 3 which later became his favourite version, and Fei-Long one of his favourite characters. He visited several small gaming events and even game shops with strong Street Fighter players and won numerous challenges against players in the UK over the next years. One occasion there was a top player from Scotland visiting whom Biff was able to defeat with Fei-Long, he lost a few other rounds but also defeated the other 3 challengers present.
Years later Sami presented Biff with a Street Fighter Challenger in the form of [[Tom Gaffikin]]. They instantly became rivals, both trying to edge each other out on different versions on Street Fighter, and later Street Fighter Alpha 3. Biff was adament after they had some battles with Tom's favorite character Akuma.
== Biff vs Tom Gaffikin ==
A games event was organised by the British Team and [[Sami Cetin]] which included an SMK Tournament for the intermediate level players and a few advanced karters, but also the main event: A showdown between Biff as Fei-Long and Tom Gaffikin as Akuma in Street Fighter Alpha 3. A [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S_1ASXbfB3Y Video] was created on that day of the immense battle with Biff emerging victorious after a 3-1 win on the rounds. Biff also participated this day in the SMK tournament in a [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fbQIRjHdrWM Match Race vs Jason Mathoora] in which he won; but lost later in the Semi-Final vs John Barber.
== Biff vs Steven Zwartjes ==
In September 2006, the British SMK Team were in conversation with the Dutch SMK Team and decided to create a surprise event on an October weekend of 2006. They were able to get in touch with [[Steven Zwartjes]] who was a former Dutch, European and World Champion in several games on Super Nintendo and Nintendo 64. Steven had won a Street Fighter contest back in 1993 which featured several gamers from Holland. He had played on other versions and was able to utilise his skills with his strongest character Ken really well. Steven was invited to London along with [Karel van Duijvenboden] for that weekend to give the opportunity for Biff to face the strongest Challenger from the Netherlands on Street Fighter Alpha 3. However there was one catch; Biff knew that he would have some matches with Tom that weekend, however he did not know that Steven was making a surprise visit!
[[Sami Cetin]] and Jason Mathoora then decided to make this into a short movie of Biff. However as they were not sure at the time how good it would turn out, so it was limited to a short intro detailing Biff's Street Fighter history vs Tom and then the matches vs Steven. Prior to the event, Biff had secretly been training with Sagat and was saying to Sami and John Barber that he would 'Feel no way to Bust out the Sagat'. This was when Biff originally used those classic lines. However John and Sami were convinced knowing that Biff would face someone as great as Steven, that it was certainly not a good idea to start training with a new character, but to stick to his best, Fei Long. Biff however, adament that he can make miracles happen stated "Nah man... seriously I'm feeling no way to just Bust out the Sagat".
Biff and Steven met on the day when Steven was brought downstairs to the games room, there was an instant uproar of fans present as they cheered the two challengers and looked upon with awe that we would finally see UK vs Netherlands in a battle to the finish. The gamers would play 2 whole matches against each other, the first was set to 3 rounds (which was originally intended to be 5), so the 2nd match was set to 5 rounds. Sami put together a [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9_IOvaHE7Vo Trailer for the 1st Biff Movie] which received excellent reception from viewers of the SMK World. Shortly after a [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d_4MWLTi4E4&feature=related 2nd Trailer] was released.
The first Match had Biff thankfully using his strongest Fei-Long to challenge Steven's Ken. The first round saw Biff and Steven matching each other perfectly, and Biff taking the lead towards the end nearly going for the kill. However a few slips left Biff open and Steven got a few last digs in to win the round when both were at almost 0 health. The room let out a scream of cheers as Biff's Fei-Long was shown the heat. The 2nd round, Biff put more pressure in, timing his Super attacks and pushed ahead more, Steven followed up some more attacks which did damage. But later Biff's special move took Steven out to make it 1-1. The final round was next on the first match with Steven getting some early digs following up with a Super, Biff made a flurry of attacks, some doing damage and some blocking. Biff was then in trouble, he tried to attack but Steven countered taking him out with a Super attack and some more kicks. Biff fought back with everything he could but the health was too short and Steven won the fight and match. Cheers were let out in the room as Steven got to hold the Champions belt. However it was not over...
The 2nd Match would next begin. Sami and John didn't know what to think, but then they remembered Biff mentioning his training with Sagat, however they had no idea to what level this was, or if it was going to help. But just to see how adamant Biff was that he could win the match they announced the idea to him. "Biff... Bust out the Sagat" Sami said. "Yeah Biff... Bust out the Sagat!" John said. Biff let out a small smile as he knew something, but what it was we didn't know. The 2nd match was prepared, Steven selected Ken again, and Biff went for Sagat. This was for 5 rounds. Biff started off strong, pummelling Steven with attacks and winning the first two rounds, winking at his Team. Steven however looked for more openings to attack and got some more hits in and connected supers with Ken's extra speed, winning rounds 3 and 4. The final round was next which would be the decider. It went right to the finish, all depended on who wanted the win the most. Both competitors were down on health, Steven needed about one more hard kick to take the win, Biff needed a few. Steven opted for a special move, but Biff executed a wild Super attack with Sagat in the last moment to cut through Steven's attack and defeat Ken, winning the match. Biff then took the Champions belt and held it up in the air. In an interview immediately after, Jason the cameraman asked Biff how it felt to be a Star. Biff replied saying "I already was before I come here so it doesn't matter!" The crowd laughed.
Biff vs Zwartjes : The Movie was created on DVD as a result and although Sami and Jason wished to go back to enhance it into a more feature length movie, this was never yet possible. It still stands as a good DVD with fun memories of all those involved. Rumours and plans of a later sequel in Norway were proposed but this never happened, instead some good prospects were available elsewhere.
