in all honesty the game isn't hard enough to need the blue tunic, the red one is the best choice.
*edit*
you know what
street fighter 4 is a piece of trash
at least in blazblue there's ONE character i can enjoy. you know how many characters i enjoy playing in the rather good size roster of street fighter 4.
FUCKING NONE OF THEM
im done playing this pos
i could tolerate the GIGATON SWARMS of akuma players, i could even tolerate the stupidest thing ive seen in a fighting game since the doa counter system (ultra meter), but if there isn't one single character on the roster i go "hmm, i want to work with this character and main him" im not going to play anymore.
EIGHTY FIVE HOURS should be plenty of time for me to find a character i like enough to not switch off to another character every few hours, but apparently fucking not.
i guess i got my moneys worth out of the game, im just disappointed that im done with it.
i will ONLY EVER play the game again if it's to play with irl bros, or anybody here who wants to give it a go and NOT play their main so i can piss around with other characters. i mean, i can't possibly go into some random game trying to use gen, it's fucking suicide.
i mean every character i potentially want to main i just can't see doing. chun, honda, bison are those characters, and they all have flaws to them that i just can't tolerate. GEN is fun, but i really need to get a few hours under my belt to get the hang of the guy, and well, im NOT doing that against random people online, id throw a fit of rage.
so yeah, im done with that game. fucking apparently sf2 is the only fighter i like, which sucks because i enjoy some variety, and nobody 'round these parts plays sf2. i mean, blazblue is retarded, and marvel is like blazblue with more infinities and shittier ballance. not interested in kof, and well, 3d fighters suck. maby when (im saying when because it's not impossible) darkstalkers is released on xbla ill give that a shot.
or maby i won't find that game, because what i like about sf2 is it's simplicity and the high amount of damage everything does. it's simple, but there's so much to it that you keep on learning. i mean, if anybody knows of a game like this (don't fucking say smash bros, ive played it, i have my opinion about it) by all means, let me know. i should try alpha, though, it won't be what im looking for, fuck, it's new to me. maby even go old school and try out mortal kombat 2.
till then, i don't know, ill be casually playing sf2 i guess. i mean, i know i main somebody when i simply DON'T want to play anybody else, or when i do, i go back to said character because he's just too fun to use even after hundreds of hours. gief's my man, ain't no way ill main anybody else.
tldr- sf2 is the only good fighting game in existence, and it came out 18 years ago
*a look back on the previous tldr*
i think a key issue is missing. with sf2, for a while anyway, i was playing with an irl friend in person. we would go online to do some online for achievements but overall we played eachother, and i got my start learning stuff by doing this. only after that i started playing and enjoying online with my newfound skills at the game, with the head start i got from playing an irl friend, i could sort of hold my own online and thus get better from the online play.
i haven't done this with any other fighting game (maby a little blazblue, but not really the extent of sf2), and i think that's why i really only like sf2.
im still not playing random strangers in sf4, but anybody i know irl/online, im game. i would like to get the hang of sf4, in particular because EVERYBODY in the fighting game scene is playing it, and maby not everybody, but it's the most popular thing out now.
even then, it's still entertaining to watch.
