    I'm a really big fan of fighting games but I have two problems:

    I don't have any IRL friends who play them.
    I am terrible at them!

    This basically tanks the replay value of any fighting game I have hopelessly bought over the years. Online play is like a brickwall unless you are some how amazing at these things.

    Until now!

    I've just decided to stick it out and pick a hardcore fighting game to try and play. I chose: Persona 4 Arena, because I love Persona 4, and because of all the fighting games I can choose to try, Persona 4 Arena​ is by far the most intimidating. It's ridiculously deep, and most players online rape you in seconds. Trying to get good with Yukiko and then Elizabeth.

    That's the same with me, though for the sucking part that's not me. I'm actually pretty good and skilled at fighting games and can do some crazy ass shit and combos but online I pretty much get owned every match all the time regardless. It sucks big time and is a huge discouragement. I'm sorry to those who preach it but playing single player AI and doing tutorials/challenges/missions doesn't have squat for helping you against people online.

    I've had interest in Persona 4 Arena but its price has always kinda turned me off. It still isn't cheap enough for me to get either. My go to fighting game was always Tekken. Always diverse, deep and well made. To me, the series is the best fighter ever made. I really like Street Fighter and Marvel vs Capcom but I'm just terrible against other people. Online with Tekken, I can usually hold my own and win a lot of the time.

    Are you on PS3? If so we should play sometime. I haven't played P4A since March I believe when I was trying to platinum it. I got as far as I could beating 300 challenges in Challenge Mode and beat Score Attack with Yu.

    OK! if youve gotten that far it could be a slaughter, but Im up for it. We had such a hard time connecting for MK, so Im not sure that it will work, but the net code in Persona is just obviously better. If you see me on PSN just shoot me an invite!

    I usually pick random when playing online. My main is Akihibro. I used to main Yu but once I played around other characters, Aki fit perfectly. It also helps that he's one of my favorites from P3 lol.

    I actually don't think I have you on PSN. What's your username and I'll add you.

    EDIT: Never mind, I do have you on there! I really need to clean out my PSN friends list. There's people on mine that haven't logged on in over a year.
