Played several more online Ranked matches today, mainly playing as Ken, but (sadly) also mostly lost them. Pah. E. Honda players who just hammer the punch buttons annoy me. That’s not playing, that’s just retarded. Anyway, I have now won/played 17/42 matches, which is better than many of the people I’ve seen online so far. I need 30 wins for an achievement, and 50 games played for another one.

Just one online match of this played today, against someone I’d played previously. I remembered his gamertag, but for some reason it didn’t remember out VS stats. Odd. Anyway, I lost. And it was another Kenneth vs. Kenneth match.

I played this quite a bit more, mainly on Ranked Matches against random people. I didn’t do too badly either, as it turned out – playing 20 matches and winning 14 of them. There was a huge divide between the attitudes of the UK and US players. Generally, UK players will say “Oh, too bad!” if you lose, and “Well played!” if you win. US players will say “WTF? You cheated! You can’t do that move! That isn’t allowed! I’m …

Yes, again. Firstly, some issues I have with the game: The 360 pad is RUBBISH for playing it.

But, it is still Street Fighter II, and so therefore, is ace. Played loads of …

Oh yes. No messing around checking out the demo download here – I just paid for it, downloaded it, and set about having my pants thrashed. Gah. I won two matches in Arcade Mode, and then noticed everyone on my friends list (well, almost) were playing online. I tried to invite and/or join them, but the lobby net code is shot to bits so that didn’t happen. Played Quarter Match Mode instead, where you queue to play in a “winner …

This arrived today, so I thought I’d give it a go. Chose Ken (since he is best), and set about Aracde Mode. The first thing I noticed, was that trying any fireball-type moves that need the L button on the GBA is pointless as they’re not possible. That aside, it plays well enough. The sound is bizarrely tinny and rubbish though. Beat Ryu with ease, ditto T. Hawk and Fei Long. Guile was harder (I lost a round), and then …
