So I played through the single player once with Ryu, then played a couple of matches online. I can pull off moves, but I'm generally not too great because my fighting style relies mostly on whatever I think to do in the split second before I do it . I have no plan of attack and am mostly on the offensive.
I played through Ryu's story on Very Easy (only the Easiest setting was lower), and didn't have too many problems until I got to Sagat. That bitch is tough! I actually beat him fairly easily the very first round I fought him, but after that round, he laid it on me. Took me about 5 or 6 matches to finally pull out the win in the third round with both of us at ~5% health. I got lucky and caught him in the side of the head with a roundhouse. Then after all that trouble, in my first round against Seth, I got a perfect round. Go figure...haha. After that initial round, he started unblockable attacks and teleporting everywhere, so it took me another 3 matches to beat him finally.
I then hopped online and played 2 ranked matches. The first one I competed decently I guess, but was beat in 2 rounds. My next fight saw me lose handily in the first round, so I figured it wasn't going to be much of a second round. We battled quite a bit, and I started to learn what he liked to do a lot. I managed to get the win in the second round by countering his move set, and got a shoryuken to win a very close battle in the 3rd round.
One thing I found interesting online was that you get battle points when you win, but you lose them when you lose. I'll be lucky to keep my head above water...lol. I do like the multitude of titles, icons, and medals to unlock.
