When I first started this game, I vowed to myself two things
1) To get better
2) Not go give it up no matter how much I might suck
It is the very first "real" fighting game I have gotten into, and although it took until CS, I really love it. I have no problems with getting beaten to a bloody pulp online, though sometimes I feel embarrassed not for myself but for the person who owned be for the bloody scrub I'm sure I am. I guess I should play online more, though since I live in Germany I get mostly Zero-Bar Connections, unfortunately.
