Eager Australian player here. I wish to better my game.

Hey, first post here on the forums or in fact in any fighting game forum. Quite a shame really as I was a avid player of Tekken 3 on the PS1 when I was young and Killer Instinct on SNES. However being a kid, I might learn a bit but being a dumb kid you just button mash, although that was fun and all I never got that 'good'. Back in those times it was just merely versing siblings and friends because there was no global play yet.

I've played some MK, got Deadly Alliance on the Xbox and that was fun. Didn't invest too much time on it though.

Luckily KoFXIII got me back into fighters after I played the demo (for a total of 18 hours) by myself and with friends I was definitely hooked. Had to eBay it since I could not find it in stores and I've done some research on how to play mostly using videos and the Shoryuken Wiki but I needed a feedback medium and why no better place than a forum, so that's why I'm here. Hi!

Hopefully I don't appear to be too much of a noob, I've done my homework. Took me a while since it was all completely new to me such as motions, button notations and learning the 'Fighting Games Dictionary of Terms', but I think I know my stuff.

Also can I ask if there are any videos such as the SoCal Tournament ones?
E.g http://youtu.be/bIZ6iWWj_Xw & http://youtu.be/IaktyEb3Fhw

I really like the ones with commentary, gameplay itself is interesting but listening to the banter of the commentators of the player's performance and the crowd makes it much more engaging.

Welcome Vitrolic. Interesting history you've got there, and glad to hear you're doing your homework with terms (I need flashcards for a lot of the terms sometimes). Anyway, glad to have you here and hope we can help make your game better.

I've played with 11 characters, and from that I have basic knowledge of combos and such on Hwa, King, Maxima, K' and Saiki. But I am familiar and more skilled with Kula, Ash, Vice and Benimaru and can be used interchangeably. Kula and Ash though would be my definite duo and strongest. I tend to learn new characters for the heck of it and if I like them I bump them up to my 'familiar' team character but in doing do I usually drop one such as Maxima and Hwa, they both was the 'third' character along with Kula and Ash.
