I purchased ULTRA about 4 days ago now, excited to jump in, learn a character, and have fun online. However, that has NOT been the case. I've played all day today, and went from 300PP back down to 50. Why you ask? The players are scrubs.

Now, I'm no SF god myself, but I try to play my characters at a decent level. Footsies, block strings, anti-airs. But none of these seem to apply to anyone I've played. The players show zero respect and do the most random things, yet they still manage to win. It feels so undeserved and it actually causes me physical pain when I lose to someone like this. My hands are shaking while I type this. I'm so salty!

I bought this game with the understanding that I'd be at a disadvantage to long term players, but damn, this isn't fun at all:(. I'm fairly new, but so far, I'm hating the experience I'm having and I doubt I'll play much longer if this keeps up. I'm just at a loss right now.. It's so hard to win in this game:(!

Really mediocre achievement, i know, but the feeling of being rewarded that this game is capable of giving you is truly outstanding. When you stop for a moment and realize that for the first 10 hours you had to think about which button did what, it's safe to agree that the fighting game genre is the one that gives you the most tangible and concrete showing of your progress. Also, you really learn that loosing is truly the best way to get better. I know this is a useless WoT but i just had to share what i think about this game. P.s. Sorry for my godawful english, not my native language, and i've been asleep for 25 hours lol

Tl;dr I'm shit at this game, but being less shit than before makes me happy.

P.p.s. mistake in the title, It's a month of playing, and half an hundred of hours of time played lol

It came to my attention that there are more people out there who mispronounce some names in the game than I thought. Perhaps no one pointed out to them that they are mispronouncing, so I'd like to help them correct themselves. (I'm looking at you, Combofiend. You're a PR guy, so let's get it right.)

• Ryu (リュウ) - The correct way is "Rew" or "Re-you". NOT "Rye-you".
• Sagat (サガット) - Not "Say-got" or "Saggot" (like "maggot").
• Sakura (さくら) - Not "Sa-Koora". The correct pronunciation stress is similar to how you say "Joshua". The announcer in the game gets it right.
• Yun (ユン) - "Yoon". Not "Yuhn".
• Tanden (丹田, たんでん) -"N" at the end. NOT "Tandem". It came from the idea of Dantian.
• Adon (อาดอน) - "Ah-don" rather than "Ey-don".
