Anyone know the name of the song on the commercial.

[kcxiv]

I dont know what the name of the song is in the video, but it has the gayest menu song in the history of video games. I had to turn the music for this game all the way down. Song is completely horrible and gay.

[kcxiv]

So sick of playing Ken, Ryu, Akuma and Sagat.

I roll with Dhalism. He's fun to play. I lose more theni win, but i am starting to get alot better and starting to win more and get close to winning alot. I just gotta stop from making stupid moves at times.

Gouki is a ****ing beast. Almost broken.

[GoTrav]

Feel free to add me on LIVE and I'll throw down, travnasty7. I'm awful. I'm having a hell of a time pulling off the charges and cancels. I did cheese and unlock all the characters. Anyone hear anything more about the second batch of TE sticks?

[kcxiv]

Starting to win alot more with Sim now. I love playing with this character. Learning new combos now and i can put together some winning streaks now. nothing major, but alot better then winning 1 in 10. Today so far, i am about 50 percent.

Finally found a fightpad for the 360 at the local gamestop.
Well worth $40. Loving it.

[kcxiv]

I bought an arcade stick, but i am going to mod it out with Sanwa parts soon. I just need to buy a dremmel tool, been wanting one anyways. lol

[kcxiv]

Anyone play this online regularly? i have about 1750 BP's and i use only Dhalsim, shit is fun.

[QuikSsurfer]

I played the shit out of it until my save got erased... don't turn off your console until you are at the main screen....
Lost all my costumes, characters, and rankings.. ****ing bullshit.

Characters and BP are easy to get back. No idea on the customes. I didnt order the CE version.

Anyways, i just hover around 1600 and 1900 BP usuing strictly Dhalsim. I started yesterday out at 900 lol.

[Saulbadguy]

Things that piss me off about online play -

1. bundle of stickss that wait until I choose my character to choose theirs
2. The distillery level is laggy, which benefits some characters over others
3. Every bundle of sticks plays Sagat, Ryu, Ken or Akuma.

Characters are a ****ing chore dude.
I hate having to beat the game with 8 different people (AGAIN) to unlock characters that should already be available.

I hate how buffed Guile is. I face a shit ton of him when playing online.

I actually play him now. The timing is just off enough where I have a tough time playing him. I've got 4 or 5 friends who play this game religiously now too so we get together every weekend and I usually play alot of Guile now.

I think every character is balanced, but some characters are better vs others - like I get dominated against Fei Long when I use Guile.
