Ok, stupid question. I was under the impression that the More Skilled setting would seek out people who were...well..more skilled than you, as in they have higher BP than your current ranking. Yet every match I've had with it on has me as the higher BP player, with the other guy being much lower.
I checked the manual and it doesn't actually specify what it does. Am I mistaking what it's meant for (it seems pretty useless to filter matches that will assure you as being the higher ranked of the two) or is this some kind of bizarre networking fluke?

That's happened the past 9 matches.
No, I get the same results. Who knows what the hell is up with it.
And btw, challenges are so much more tolerable now that I'm playing ripped music.
I finally finished all of Chun Li's trials woohoo! Dear god those combos are completely impractical in an actual fight...

Good games Eek. You are definitely better with a wider variety of characters. For a while I was swapping through my backups until I figured I could probably use the practice against some with my main. Your Sakura is pretty fearsome, those were some especially good matches.
Good games tonight Nico. Your Dhalsim is killer and so is the Balrog. We gotta fight some more soon.
Also great losers bracket games Fig-D! Every match was down to the wire! Damn. Feel free to spar with me anytime. I feel we give each other a great challenge.

Auburn and I fought the streets, he's got a mean gouken but needs practice on his offense.
Bolded for truth. I play way too defensively. Need to learn the comboez.
EDIT: Is there a site where i can preview the SFII gamer pics xbox live offers? For some reason i can't see the actual pics on xbox.com
As a Gouken player myself, I'm sorry to say you don't have many options available going for a full offense. FADCs are neat but terribly costly. You're better off keeping the stock for an EX tatsu or EX counter if your opponent gets in too close in my opinion and keeping your distance. This is where Gouken shines.
Hardest matchup is Blanka. Everyone else can be easily thwarted using fireball traps, especially Sagat who, despite being top tier, gets zoned easily with Gouken.
Another thing I like to do to mix it up is throw in an EX demon flip after I toss out a fully charged fireball. It's sheer cheese as you can throw if they're crouching or let it land the sweep if they're not so they eat 1-3 hits.
Another thing is that his Ultra beats out every ultra out there so if you bait someone to do theirs, wind up the double fireball motion and hit PPP just as the startup animation for it ends. You can practice this by recording in training and playing back. I can only imagine the looks on people's face as they eat a ShinShoryuken after throwing out their ultra.
Anyone up for some Ken-beating? I am happy to report I don't suck as much as before. I'm going with practice and masochism makes perfect. Gamer tag = Forum name
Thanks for the fights tonight StokedUp. I need to learn from you and add the antiair Dhalsim moves to my repertoire and you clearly have that down when I was trying to jump in at you with all those other characters unsuccessfully. Also if I want to learn Abel or Sagat I'll come to you.
And to ChaosHat (Sensazin) any time you want to street fight and practice against a solid enough Dhalsim let me know. Send me a friend request.
That goes to any other 360 person since the Penny Arcade friend is full. If you ever want matches I am playing street fighter a lot so send me an invite. Gamertag is Convic Nic.
I'm done. Spent the night playing "Same Skill". Yeah, right. I got perfected more times than I can count. I can't pull off qc's on either of my 360 controllers anymore, and my thumb is in pain.
I'm done with this game. I'd say I'm done with it until I get a stick, but that appear to NEVER BE HAPPENING, since EVERYONE AND THEIR MOTHER BOUGHT THEM ALL, THEN BOUGHT ALL THE PARTS.
This game cannot be played online with a controller. If you are capable of doing so, you are a god among men, and you should be charging $1000/hr putting that manual dexterity to better use in the pornographic industry.

I have not. Those are not available anywhere near me, either. Plus, it doesn't help my main issue, which is with the directional input being so inexact/unforgiving.
*edit* Forgive the rant, I'm just really pissed off at this game right now. Rawr. It's one thing to fight against your opponent, but another entirely to fight against your own controller.

that sucks... the bestbuy here has 3 that i dont think have been touched (although i havent checked in a while)
and no one in my town other than me ordered the TE sticks. at least at my store... i doubt any of the other stores got any orders for em.
It sucks that they did that to him, its such a weird input. Didn't it used to be just Charge B, F, B, F + KKK?
On MvC2 its QCF+PP or something I think.

The D-pad in the fightpad is much, much better than the crap 360 controller - still not as good as a stick, but better than PS3 d-pad and totally decimates the 3shitty controller.
The next best thing is that your thumb won't hurt with the fightpad.
Unfortunately right now, they're all sold out and Amazon and Ebay still sell them for about ten, twenty dollars or more above the MSRP. If you're willing and desperate enough, craigslist can also be used although you better make sure the fightpads are in working condition.
I'd say give up the game for the time being lest you just frustrate yourself more and more, and just look for the fightpads online for now - either for the 2nd batch of shipment in stores or see if there's anything close to MSRP in Amazon or eBay.

well in SF2 it was charge downback, then half-circle forward (to up-forward).
i think MvC2 took everyones movements and made everything not charge for all the madaction they wanted

That input has always been the same for him and Vega, the db to uf was a remix input added in. Just try to do the motion right at first and then you can do it faster and faster, it comes out pretty easily from there. Even on an analog.
In my personal opinion, the fightpad is a great step up. I paid $50 for mine on eBay shipped. I'm sure you can find one online. As for the sticks, well, that's a different story.

As an addendum, I really appreciate you screwing around with someone you could back-of-the-hand-front-of-the-face with your main for an hour or two. I hope you saw some kind of improvement, or that I was at least entertaining to massacre when you saw fit.
Throws and cancels are at the top of my list at this point. Feel free to hit me up any time you need an ego boost :P
this may be painful to hear but a gamestop near me had 3 limited edition sticks. If i could get commitments from people, i would be more than willing to pick a few up.
I hate Gouken's omnidirectional focus attack. Just destroys any jump ins or crossup.
I just randomly got Bricobrosse in a ranked match. Sorry about taking 118 bps from you buddy!
It happens. Your Chun was just in all the places I didn't want her to be at all the worst possible times.
The worst part was I then proceeded to take on and completely stomp at least three Chun's in the 4k-5k range. But I get the feeling that if I faced you again you'd still own my face.

first time i've fought gouken as claw. crazy zoning with those fireballs
it's interesting how i have to always try to get in range with claw to fight gouken. it's usually the other person trying to get up close to me
its amazing how much less heat this thing puts out compared to my old one...
also, ive modded my dreamcast agetec stick if anyone cares to check it out (http://forums.shoryuken.com/showpost.php?p=6430250&postcount=10215)
Very cool. I'm in the process of building my own so lately my life has been filled with PCM diagrams and button templates.
