heh, way to stroke my ego there Eric, thank you :D But yeah, I love fighting games, especially when I can find someone that is really skilled to learn from. There is a dynamic there, where you see someone play at a high level, and then realize how you can do that, and then you think "what can I add to that, that I already know how to do?" but yeah it does take time and practice. When I was younger, like 10-13 yrs old, I spent a lot of time at the arcade and didn't have many quarters so I had to make them last somehow. I am 45 mins away from an arcade in socal where really great players gather and just watching them for an hour will give you so much insight. Some people are like, I don't want to copy their play style, but then what if you add what they have to what you know? I think that's where the best players get their game from.
