Thanks man. Right now I'm kinda burned out but will still hit a few tourneys for Tekken 6 and MK9. Was planning on going to Evo in Vegas but I don't know if I wanna spring for these late tickets at outrageous prices. Besides all the old-school shit, I used to play MvC3 and SSF4 in tourneys but both games just got too tired and dry to me, not to mention Marvel 3 is extremely unbalanced, just like every other Marvel game. And I never like SF4 series at all. SSF4 AE at high level is all Yun and Fei Long and that's definitely not gonna make me get back into it. Haha MK9 is broken as hell, but it's mad fun because I learned to combat the top tier and stupid shit. Plus they frequently patch the game and do updates for it. It's easily the best MK and right above UMK3 imo. Tekken 6 is my ultimate shit though. I feel Tek 5 DR/Tek 6 and Guilty Gear Accent Core are the most complete and balanced fgs ever made, but GG scene is pretty much dead.
Speaking of which, you should visit Game Galaxy Arcade in Hickory Hollow Mall if you haven't been there already. One of the best, few surviving arcades in the U.S. and host to lots of events. A bunch of cool peeps I met through that arcade and when people started back playing fgs with SF4. They all post up on SRK forums. Hell, one of my dudes let me borrow his board just because I made a status on fb saying I wanted to learn how to skate irl. So I've just been staring at it until I decide to bust my ass lol.
You play Skate on PS3 or Xbox?
