The first time I got to play a fighting game online. Oh god. I practically fainted in pleasure. My brother (And eventual brothers) tended to quickly drop below me in terms of skill, so I never really ascended in skill when it came to playing most fighters. Having the chance to play others online and constantly hone my gameplay was a godsend when you realized that the computer AI in fighters tend to just read inputs to beat the player.

I've become totally spoiled by this, too. I grew up playing fighting games with my friend Brian, who always kicked my ass at all of them. I did some online play with friends over arcade emulators back in the mid-00s, but didn't get that into it. 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.
