Maybe I should revise to say, at least in the US it seems dead. Only matches available off of searching were 2 bars or lower, and making a room for two hours, not one entrant.
I know how you feel. I played a lot of matches vs my friend and it bumped my player level up pretty high. If I wait 30 mins for someone to join, chances are they leave immediately anyway.
Me and you should play together, we connected decently didn't we? I won't use Kula, I promise.
I wait an hour, I go into training mode because I feel like working out maybe Claw Iori or Shen (because Terry HD combos are insanely finicky so idk if I want to keep him, still waiting on EX Kyo next week...by the way, weren't we supposed to get a blog about him today or something?), and I go in there forever, someone finally joins and by the time I make it back to the lobby, they're gone.
It was half decent between us. Better than the crap I usually get anyway. And it's fine if you use Kula, I hate the bitch but with the frequency she's used, I have to learn how to fight her anyway.
