Thanks for the help everyone! It's not that I expect to be good in a few days, or even months, like I said, I suck at fighting games, even though they are my game of choice. I do plan on putting in the hard work and trying to break out of the casual player mold. I was just wondering if it is really even possible for someone who utterly sucks at video games to pick up such a difficult character like Carl.

To be honest I SUCK at fighting games (I've always been more of a casual player), I can do input all of the moves and such but I can't combo for the life of me. Even so, fighting games are crack for me. So I bought Blazblue a couple days ago and decided this is it, I am going to become decent at a fighting game for once. So I look at all of the characters and none of them really spark my interest (unlike in guilty gear where it is hard to choice what character to play because they are all so interesting) except Carl Clover. He had a cool character design and an interesting drive, except for he is hard as hell to play. I'm not a great player as it is, but I just get my butt handed to me every time no matter what level of player I'm fighting. At least when I choose a different character I at least stand a chance or win sometimes. So the question is, should I just truck it with Carl or pick a different main until I get more of a feel for the game and then try and learn Carl. If so, none of the other characters interest me so it's hard to choose, any suggestions? Sorry for rambling, and my terrible grammar, especially since I was asking such an easy question. (wtf has this always been here?)
