Aggressive Street Fighting?

This is the first post in a series about my video game journey. Enjoy!

The first game I learned to play was Street Fighter IV. Street Fighter IV is a fighting game, which is shown to cause aggression. After playing SFIV, I took a questionnaire based on the Buss-Durkee Hostility Inventory to test my level of hostility and aggression. 

At first, I played against Danielle in order to learn how the game worked. After she beat me several times, I decided to play arcade mode with CPUs. Naturally, we set them to 'easy.' 

My strategy at first was to just hit random buttons all at once, hoping I would KO the enemy. Obviously, that didn't work very well for me. Eventually I had to revise my game plan and use stronger combo moves. 

There were points in the game where my enemy would use a special ability that would paralyze my character for several seconds, which was extremely frustrating for me. I don't know if the reason I got so frustrated was specifically because I was playing I fighting game. I believe playing a new game you don't know much about is generally annoying.

I got through several levels until I was finally beat by the character Dudley, an English boxer.

When I took the questionnaire after playing, I got a relatively normal score. My overall aggression score was a 79. Before I played the game, my average was 75. The average for men is 77.8 an the average for women is 68.2.

Playing a fighting game like Street Fighter IV did not make me overly aggressive, despite studies done by researchers on the link between video game play and an increase in aggression.

Do you feel aggressive after playing "violent" video games?
