It wasn't until this year that I decided I was tired of watching fighting game streams and wanted to play, too. So I got out my clearance aisle copy of SFxT, bought a month of Gold, and dove right into the world of online fighting games.

And immediately got my ass kicked.

I'm not very good at SFxT. Thankfully Injustice came out and it's both crazy fun and I'm really good at it (around 1200th overall in ranked matches). I mostly play Wonder Woman and Batgirl, although I'm experimenting with Hawkgirl now that her awesome Earth 2 skin is out.

My jaw hit the floor when I first connected online in a fighter. To be entirely honest, I don't know which game was my first fighter online.

I was never very good at SFxT either (I'm a pad player, so pulling off the Tag cancels or whatever was just too much for me), but playing fighters online is always a fun experience for me.

I'm actually enjoying Injustice as well. It's feels like what I was hoping MK9 to be. I main Ares. I have no idea why, I just gravitated towards him (Despite being a big fan of Flash and Wonder Woman).
But playing Ares is an uphill battle that I enjoy. Having played SF3, SF4, and MvC3 online, I like playing an underdog character.
