That's great. I can dig that.I would have just used the online lag training feature thingy. Why simulate when you can have the real deal!

In an offline setting, there is less lag on the monitor than there is on a TV. When you play a strict character like Akira, that difference can drop a lot of combos.

Good luck man. I just fought SweetRevenge last night. You're definitely gonna have your hands full. I'll be rooting for you. It'd be sick to see an Akira take the tourney.
