Well I got this game and after playing it for a month+, I'm loving it

Doing horrible, but loving it. The music, art, characters are quite appealing to me.
I got a PS2 stick + adapter for PS3, and it's working out fairly well so far.

Sometimes I'm a bit lost and frustrated (especially at the trials)...
Gotta keep practicing, I guess!

I'm in Seattle/Tacoma. Yea I've found a FB group so I'll see if I can join their events more often. True thing about traveling though! Good thing I'm not too far from the city. I do want to find something more local but I haven't been able to yet.

This is great, thanks!

Well I did get this game. Yayyyy~

But I don't know how much time I should spend on it.
Work is busy enough as it is.
And my friends don't play fighting games, so I would have to play this outside of my normal socializing hours.
I've asked friends' friends too, but it seems like KOF isn't very popular around here.
Also, arcade sticks are costly...
That's why I was wondering if I should jump on the wagon later, when PS4 and/or the next KOF is released.
I would really like to get better, but also do it efficiently (in terms of time and money) since I'm not as free as I used to be, and I'm also trying to save some $.

Thanks!

Hello.
Any Seattle/Tacoma love?

Hello, new to the site here.

I've never been a very good fighting game player. But I saw some Evo videos of this game this weekend and it really sparked my interest. I want to get into fighting games more now.
But I found out that this game is 2 years old, and there isn't any official news of a new release soon (other than the suppose-to-happen 3D version).
Not to mention that PS4 is just around the corner... (I have a PS3)

So I'm wondering if it is worth my time and money to invest in this game?

Some more questions...
Is this game about to be outdated?
Do I need to spend a lot of time learning how to play well?
I used to play fighting games on game pads but have tried arcade sticks before. I really prefer using a stick, but what's a good stick for this game on the PS3?

Or should I just wait for the next game? Whenever that is...

Thanks!
