Mostly XI.

My brother and I mess around on '02 and '03 infrequently. One of our five-man group won't play fighting games if they don't have analog support and we haven't bought any fighting sticks yet. Since XI is our only game with analog, we don't want to limit our small group even more.

Defender! Audible gasp!

I would be the aforementioned brother. Thanks for the suggestion, krazykone!

After playing a fair bit of XI with my brother semi-casually, I'm curious what others think of the inclusion of console-only and mid-boss characters. We don't allow the top row (Mid-bosses plus Shion and Magaki), but we do allow the bottom row (Challenge unlock console-only characters). We couldn't find much information on typical rules applied, so we played a bit with both rows and settled on our decision.

Is there any tournament rules for console-only characters? Are Mid-bosses frowned upon or accepted into a tournament environment?

We aren't planning on playing tournaments for XI or anything, we simply like to know what everyone else is playing.
