ixRenegade Report post Posted January 4, 2010 I was never clear on this; are you allowed to switch characters only when you lose a match? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spirit Juice Report post Posted January 4, 2010 I was never clear on this; are you allowed to switch characters only when you lose a match? That is correct. If you win a game, you may not switch characters, but your opponent may. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
qwerty Report post Posted January 4, 2010 is there any way we could ask them to replace the sticks before the ranbat? i'm surely not the only one who thinks they're beyond redemption right now... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TaoFTW Report post Posted January 5, 2010 I don't really mind the sticks... Granted, if they don't respond, then that's one thing. Speaking of lack of response, has anybody else noticed the 2nd button not working randomly on the p1 side? By 2nd, I mean: 1 2 3___taunt 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
