Well, honestly, I've never been good at combo-centric or complex-entry fighters-- put me at the controls for Street Fighter III Third Strike and I do pretty well! Simple inputs to let me just think about what I'm doing, and not how to do what I want to do... Also, I really did only get this game for the ryona... :ouch...it hurts:
So the problem has just been in getting stuff unlocked.. I finally managed to complete arcade mode with Vader by totally cheesing it out-- The Apprentice is apparently dumb if you just keep spamming A+G as he gets up, and Algol I just lured to the edge and used the same throw to fling him out. That got me up to 20 honors, so 10 to go to unlock the rest of the gear you can get that way? As far as the Tower, I'm currently at 15-17, with a few unopened chests still behind.
And yeah, I've messed around in training mode quite a lot, but that doesn't really help.. everything just goes out the window once an actual match starts. As for suggesting a character, well I don't know if it helps any, but... in SF3 I played Remy-- AGGRESSIVELY, not silly Guile-turtle! I've had some success with some of the longer reach fighters like Siegfried and Kilik, and can obviously get through normal story mode with no problem (I'm pretty sure someone picking up the game for the first time and button mashing would be able to do that with a few continues).
I would also like to know more on whether I'm missing something about mobility... seems like the AI has a lot less problem moving around, while I can't dodge the slowest of vertical attacks. :slow:
