Paq: hehe your comment about SF2 reminded me of when I went to the local swimming pool and would play a little SF2 afterwards and would beat the crap out of some of the people who were all talk (and about 6 years older than me)...
they would use the same cheap moves over and over again and I would rule them with Chun-li... although now, with Super SF2, I prefer Dhalsim.. he is awesome
and the Gief-man will always hold a place in my heart because his moves just look cool.
as far as KI.. i never liked it... it seemed too heavy on combos.. if you knew them you beat the shit out of everyone, if you didnt, you had to learn some quickly... never pulled me in..
MK, fatalaties are fun to watch the first time, then they get old, and how come you have 7 distinctly different fighting styles (supposedly) yet, the only differences are in their special moves? they have the same sweep, the same uppercut, etc.. It just never had the varied appeal I see in SF2 or Soulcalibur.
