Shared on Sun, 09/10/2006 - 08:33Last night I was pretty embarrassed to even pick up a controller at all let alone for a fighting game after the ass-whooping I took.
I fought 8 matches. Lost 8 matches. Didnt lose all the rounds. But didn't win them by much either. I remember being alot better at 3rd Strike on the Dreamcast.
One guy kept toying with me doing the same move over and over again, seeing I was having problems blocking or parrying it. So I took it up a notch. I rolled past him and threw a super down his throat. Well that apparantly pissed him off so he decided to Parry EVERY move I threw at him from then on and kept me in a corner.
Another guy after he comboed me decided to throw a good taunt in. After every combo. So I just started doing nothing but taunting. I'd hit him once and throw him off, then taunt for another minute. He'd jump in I'd parry, attack and taunt. Then he just murdered me.
My biggest problem was I couldn't get my timing right, or any of my supers off when I needed them. I was using the Street Fighter controller, but I don't think the D-pad is that great. Its hard to get combos off with that huge-ass d-pad. I might need to find a PS2 to Xbox controller adapter. Because that and the dreamcast controllers were the only 2 I could ever play fighting games on.
Or a good old arcade stick.
Anyway. I'm either not gonna touch the game for another month or so, or I'm gonna find that adapter and come back with a vengeance. I'll let you know.
Oh...all that fighting didn't help my fever any.
