What are you playing?

Let's get one of these going. Games you're playing now, or 5 minutes ago and got so frustrated that you /quit and came on here to rant.

Street Fighter 4

- I dont usually play 2d fighters, and it's pissing me off majorly, because it isn't a button masher in any form, so I'm struggling to learn the flow.

Basically all you need is a gig of ram and at least a pentium 4 processor. My computer is years old, so it has neither.

I been playin' SF since da arcade beginnings, so lemme break it down:

all da characters essentially play alike yo, dat's da key to it. You've got your charge characters like Guile and Bison, and da rest of da non-charge characters like Ryu, etc.

I suggest starting off with Ryu or Sagat, dey both newbie characters and have some crazy good combos you can get down fairly quickly. Or alternatively pick Ken as he da character all new players to SFIV use. For charge characters I suggest Blanka, he got some really good EX moves dat can go through fireballs, plus his slide can go underneath fireballs. Once you get those characters down you can easily master everybody else. And another thing, I take it you playin' on da 360 controller? Dat's one of da reasons you're probably having trouble, things wasn't built with fighters in mind. Get yourself a Street Fighter IV fightpad and the combos/moves will be easy as fuck to do. Until then stick with the 360 controller's analog stick, it sucks with da D-pad

Mortal kombat trilogy(always)

MKT be da most glitch riddled fighting game in existence, if you gonna play da old MKs just stick with MK2 or Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3, Trilogy's a piece of shit

I rented it, so it'll have to turn me on within the next four days for me to buy it, though I probably will. Playing with Sagat now so we'll see how it goes.
