Fighting to the Top

I'm Kyle and I'm 21. I play fighting games and I'm trying to take my game from online warrior status to the top tier. This is where I write about my adventures as a fighting game player trying to get to the top. I'll be posting a lot of in-depth character/matchup discussion as well as some guides. Games that I own: (PS3 unless listed otherwise) Games that I own King of Fighters XIII Guilty Gear A core+ Injustice: Gods Among Us Divekick Mortal Kombat 9 Darkstalkers Resurrection Soul Calibur V Jojo's Bizarre Adventure HD Street Fighter 4 Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 Tekken Tag tournament 2 Virtua Fighter 5: Final Showdown Street Fighter 3: Third Strike Skullgirls PS3/Steam Super Street Fighter 2 HDR Marvel vs. Capcom 2 Arcana heart 3

Day 2 -  My favorite Capcom fighter: Street Fighter 3: Third Strike

I can't begin say enough good things about 3S. I first played this game on GGPO many years ago and instantly fell in love. The characters in this game are unique and a lot more interesting than many Street Fighter characters. 

The thing I loved most about 3S is parrying. I love being able to parry firefalls to eliminate zoning tactics and the ability to parry your opponents move if you predict it.

Day 1 - My first Fighting game: Street Fighter 2 for the SNES.

This game along with Mortal Kombat are initially what got me interested in fighting games. I'll never forget feeling like a god because I figured out how to throw a sonic boom.

If I held weekly random battles...

Would you guys be interested? I'd be willing to do ranking battles for any and all games that I own as long as people are willing to participate. It will be a good opportunity to level up and get to know one another.

For reference I own: SSF4AE, UMvC3, Tekken 6, VF5:FS, Third Strike, Skullgirls, SF2 HDR, MvC2, BlazBlue:CSand Arcana Heart 3

What do you guys think?

It's nice to see that they're still willing to patch this game.

YO, SHOUT OUTS TO ME!
