Oh, and if you worry about losing BP then you've lost all the fun. You'll get em back.

Play us for a bit

It shouldn't be a case of learning it I live in a town with more arcade than you can shake a stick at so I spent a long time infront of streetfighter games (my favourite being xmen vs streetfighter, Ryu/gambit super combo 86 hits!) Never could stand tekken style games and Mortal kombat got old very quickly.

I know and like the Ryu/Ken/Akuma moves, can't stand charge moves at all. But for some reason, and it's not just me its on a lot of xbox reviews, the xbox pad doesn't seem to like inputting sequences properly, the Dpad isn't up to it apparantly but I used the stick anyway.
I spent hours trying to perform Ken's ultra on the challenge section of the game and simply could not do it, I even had to keep checking to see if I was inputting the right sequence but its almost as if it can't register more than 2 buttons at once.

Try using Blanka if you want an easier time.

I have officially given up on this game. Playing online is actually impossible for me because I always lose in the air, sometimes my blocks don't count, opponants are already blocking attacks unusually quick, perhaps this is all down to my shit connection, therefore the game is pointlessly frustrating.

This is perhaps the wankest game I've ever bought for a console, most certainly the biggest regret I've ever had in my purchases. Yes I'm shit, but this is like the school bully of gaming, it makes shit players feel bad about themselves and offers them no assistance in getting better.

Erm - just practise

Easy games for the lose. At least you know why you got beat when you get beat. Compare that to the average realistic shooter multiplayer where you run 100 yds, die instantly and respawn :/

Shit man, from what you described I *really* need to stay away from this game. That sort of stuff is what drives me to chuck TV's through windows so probably best if I avoid.

You have no idea how tempted I've been, nearly broke the control pad at one point. When you fight against the heavy hitters, Zangief, Abel, that fat bloke, they literally grab you mid attack and remove half your health bar, and that's on easy. Like I said the game has no learning curve you can either play or you can't, it paired me up with a guy who was playing as Akuma in a ridiculous costume who proceeded to perfect me twice, because that's fair isn't it. I really want to Jay and Silent Bob that guy.

3 I think, out of quite a few

There's still tonnes of crap players to beat on PSN. I can't imagine Live is l337-only. You must need a better pad.












...unless you're shit...

I think it's a mixture of both tbh, although my slight handicap of my left thumb being made up of scar tissue down the left side makes using the thumb stick difficult sometimes. I often find my thumb slips and hits the Xbox button. But even when I've got a good grip ultra combos are just beyond me, I'm not sure if I've actually done any yet, only supers.

Also Xbox live does seem to be populated by 95% experts in any game. Most likely due to the fact that you have to pay for it, so I'm guessing people who are just casual probably won't bother, I know I haven't so far, been working off free subs.

95% experts eh. I must be super duper leet then because ive beat a load of them!

You just carry on being awesome then.

Although I must point out 78.924% of statistics are made up on the spot
