Mario party, the best kind of multiplayer.

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.

The worse Skyrim trap for me was the one where you got two choices, fight and kill every guard in Markath or go to prison and try and escape, what a pain in the nuts.

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 love multiplayer as well but what I don't love is that game devs seemed to start putting the multiplayer above the main campaign, even on games that don't even usually have multiplayer. Leaving both the multiplayer and the single player campaigns to feel tacked on and half finished because rather than focusing on making a good game, they are focusing on market trends.

I tried a few characters before I settled on Wonder Woman - I was actually maining Lobo for about a week after he came out. I just got tired of his total lack of options against zoning. Wondy was mostly just a nice combination of having and loving the #600 skin and specifically wanting more options against Hawkgirl than "stand there and die" or "run around and die."

I'd played Wonder Woman during story mode, of course, but didn't warm up to her that much. But then I tried her in arcade mode and did pretty well, so I tried her out online... and did alarmingly well. Despite some reservations about my skill level at first, I just tore people up with her. So I've stuck with her, added a good mixture of combos and tactics, and am continuing to have a ton of fun. And if I'm having an off day or some bad match-ups, I just switch to Batgirl.

I still have yet to purchase the DLC characters. Batgirl looks fun, but none of them play in a style I like.

Ares doesn't have an answer to everything, but I'm generally able to hold my own against zoning. I just have fun playing as him, despite his lack of options in terms of non-corner combos.

How fun is Injustice on your own? Not really a big fan of fighters online and although they are fun with friends on the sofa, while being in Cov I have none but I do wanna play it.

Tales of Xillia 2 is coming out to the US next year:

I'm surprised by how fast they announced it.

The story itself is...Mediocre, but it's still somewhat fun, if predictable.
Additionally, the Arcade mode presents a unique ending for each character (Though, the endings aren't fully rendered like the cut scenes in the story mode).
If you want to just plop down on the couch and have fun, Injustice is a decent fighter for that.

Posing isn't a Toku thing. "Toku" and specifically Sentai took the idea from Kabuki Dancers.
