Yea I was shifty about it at first, but I wanted to find a game to get my bro involved in. 2d games are technical... but at the same time it's a bit more basic than a 3D fighter. I'm looking at SF4 and KOF for him also.
If all goes well, he'll get into it and at tourneys it won't just me going to throw down in DOA, it'll be me and him going for our own stuff and both of us competing at P4A. Also, Akihiko is a bad ass. Is there a tier list yet or is it so balanced that it doesn't matter?
P4A is very balanced for a 2D fighter, but there's some consensus. That said, you'd be able to do just fine with Akihiko. Every character is really very threatening.
Lol. It's funny though. I'm a little bit afraid that I might have trouble dealing with defending against zoning characters. That's what his pro's and con's section of his profile said would be my prob... but...
