I had a good time. I hadn't played in months and playing against Kalyx & RoXer was my first time fighting anyone, human or AI since them. Plus it was the end of Christmas day so I was pretty tired.
Most of it came back to me pretty quickly but there were situations which I couldn't remember what I did there. I'm not a fan of the way the connection occasionally starts a grab animation from my side, only to correct itself and show me suddenly getting a spiral arrow to the shins. It was a close call in the Kalyx Vs Me match. Getting my tag ultra in when one more punch from Sakura would have been it. Noticing purple and black is a popular colour combo. |

Those colors are trademark Kalyx. RoXer's just biting my flow.

Have you given thought to your Gem settings since you started playing again?

Not really. I found a set that I can trigger through my playstyle without having to actually try to trigger them. Plus they boost the stats I focus on most.

Made that at the time when Purple was the only neat looking color. I may edit them if I decide to start playing this again now that the colors are all out (a year later)

Some sluggish matches with Figgy today, but good ones.
I'm trying to make Lei's drunken style work, and all of his styles really. But they can all be stuffed pretty easy. Christie's basically a bitch now, almost on Nina's level of 'don't let her get in'. I guess Jin's in his 'complete ass' part of my cycle with him. This means sometime this week I'll be inexplicably amazing with him. |

Yeah, Lei's stances leave him wide open since he can't block.
You playing Jin is a lot like me playing King. We both seem to have fun with them, but god damn do you ever have to work to use them effectively. Chun-Li is getting there. Dunno who I'm going to pair her with yet. Guess I should have picked some characters I'm actually good with for those first two matches. |

Lei can block in his stances but they bring him out of stance, which is very gay.
I should have gave warning that I was about to leave, not a fan of wasting final matches on 'lol picks' or practice runs. After some Halo 4 I may be on later tonight, though. |

I am fairly terrible with doing jab confirms into boost combos. Need to work on that.

I was seriously in DOA5 mode when we played. I was pressing A out of habit, trying to block and had to remind myself there were multiple punch and kick buttons. I couldn't even remember how to tag out for the first 5 minutes.
I can't remember which match it was but one of the ones you won was pretty jammy. I was a fraction of a second from finishing an input I think could have won it for me and you got there just a hair quicker than me. That was an "Ah, crap!" moment. I was thinking of suggesting we formed some kind of Super Team. Your speed and my strength. |

Just so we're clear, lag spikes happen to pretty much everyone. lol
I had some team games today and had to play with a dick who hogged the meter and tagged himself in at bullshit moments. |

I wasn't referring to lag. You just cleanly got in a split second before I did in one match. Any other match was clearly leaning one way or another but that one close match was right down to the last second, which doesn't happen often.
I never team up with anyone I don't know. If I'm teaming with someone, they have to be on my friend list. Mostly to avoid what happened to you. Plus, it's easier for me to think about what I should do if I know what to expect when my partners in. I'm not complaining but I still wish there were a few more guys of my style. Technique and combos aren't my thing which is why I never took to King. King is "Kurt Angle" when I want to be "Big Show". I really want to just get right into the fight and throw someone around, you may have noticed. There is a lot of choice for me compared to most other games but one or two more would be cool. Poison is the only non-grappler I can use and she's hardly anything for me to brag about, right now. |

Mardok's the only other big guy. How do you feel about him? And Abel grapples a bit.

I think I played as him 4 times. Not enough for a definite yes or no.
Abel is someone I could maybe use passably if there was no pressure in the fight. Like, if I was fighting my brother-in-law or something. If it's guys from TPWW then I've no real chance for trying out because you guys come at me fast and hard. That's why I'm tempted to pick Zangief & Co. a lot because I know I have them down. If we had a light hearted session of just trying out different guys we don't usually pick or techniques we don't usually use, then maybe I could broaden my horizons a bit. More a lively sparring session than the usual full on sessions. |

Ya know you can experiment in lobbies. It's not a big deal just trying out characters in live play. Test drive him in training mode and take them online for non-ranked battles. No fuss.

Whats great about able though is that it's really easy to get out of that pressure by using his roll. It's easy to set your own pace with him. I'm not as good with him in this as I amin SF4, but I still use him. Plus, his costumes are fucking sick. |

Also, as far as Marduk goes, he's a bit of a stinker. He's got a couple good, long reaching normals, but besides that, he's not very good.
His takedown special has very little reach. His air grab is too slow to be a reliable anti-air, and the timing for comboing into it is very tight. When the game came out, I caught tons of people with the spinning backfist followed by the northern lights suplex, but everyone is pretty wise to it now. I still like to use him just because his moveset looks cool, but it's an uphill battle with him. Been messing with bryan in training. Need to look more at Jack as well. |

Oh yeah King is in my stable. Many of his normals are special cancelable, even into his Jaguar Step (which has all the mixup potential I value). He's good for damage, and his throws should serve me well. First matches with him went better than Lars did at my start, so I see great things ahead.

My first time in Ranked since I don't know when. The first guys team is Ryu & Kazuya and, before the first round even finished, he rage quits because I'm beating him. Nice.

Sort of wishing I could send videos over Live just to send this to quitters.
I know it's dumb but, still. I just had the one ranked after that and won but it was pretty neck and neck. I think because all the characters in the fight were from SF so there was none of that Tekken ridiculous combo length/damage crap. |

Also, the colour options in the customisation menu are far too light. Wanted to give Poison a "hot pink" outfit and the best I can get is a vaguely pinky beige. Anything else looks closer to purple.
Same problem with yellow. No really good yellow. It looks highly diluted. |

An RGB wheel like the WWE games would have solved this. All the colour packs were free so why even make them DLC and limited to preset colours?
Would have been cool if they released patterns like polka dots or different coloured tartans. |

There's a couple of ways SFxT could have handled the colors better. Very stupid what they went with. I don't think patterns are necessary, though. There's a such thing as too much freedom.

I was thinking the patterns would be preset, like the colours. I thought they idea was for colours to be paid DLC. Maybe that was the original plan but they backed out and thought even they weren't THAT insane to expect people to pay for a colour.
Speaking of Poisons colours. Just realised today that her lipstick colour (skin 2) also changed her nail colour. |

You know it.
Why didn't they give her eye shadow? If she's supposed to have this vaguely slutty/trashy theme to her. |
