Hey guys, been following the FGC for about a year now. I attended UFGT X last year in Chicago (where I live) and will be attending Combo Breaker again this year (the successor to UFGT). After I went to UFGT X I went home and immediately bought SF, played it on and off but never took off. When I saw that GG Xrd was on the Valentine sale for PSN I had to get it because I remember playing GG on my PS2 as a kid and loved it.
Now....this is essentially the first time I'm playing a fighting game where I want to take it seriously, where do I begin. I'm still just playing arcade mode and getting my ass whooped by the CPU figuring out who I want to main. Besides figuring that out, where does a total FG noob start? I played through and completed training mode, (which I'm going to have to do about another 10x) to remember it all.
Is there any "Intro to Fighters" I should read/watch? Just reading the character specific forums hasn't helped me out yet because I don't understand half of it =P
Lastly my goal is to have a basic understanding of GG by May and I'd love to enter Combo Breaker even if I get bodied every single round.
Thanks for all the help in advance!
