I picked this game up on a whim after a double impulse buy (LCD TV > Xbox 360) and a decade break from 2d fighters... now I'm as hooked as I was when I used to beg my parents for quarters to play SF Alpha 3 at the local movie theater. By day 2, I'd finally chosen v-13 as my main and had the intentions of learn Rachel and Tao once I felt like I had mastered her. Then we finally got the internet installed at our house and I learned that I'd picked one of the most hated characters in the game... I have been on the receiving end of nerdrage ever since, and I rarely attempt a D-combo. I don't want to to give her up just yet, but I probably will once I feel like I've mastered her so I can finally win a match without all the hate.
