I am also playing SSF4, but I got no XBox-Live-Gold atm. I will extend it this weekend.
Nice! Dan got stronger and stronger, he can do much damage now and his tatsumaki is awesome.
You think he is tough on MK9
PLAY MK2 then come back LOL!

I don't think or believe or something. I just pressed every damn button, i tried every special move, i tried every jump-out. Even if he whiffs because you are jumping over him, you can't punish him with many characters as his recovery is fast. We had many hours of playing this weekend, my brother crushes the other tag team only with his Liu Kang.
I am gonna drop this game. The main reason is that you need complex tactics for defeating low-effort tactics (Kang, Noob Saibot, Cyrax).
yes but these low level tactics you speak of are gimmicky
(...)
You're having problems with characters that hardly any high-med level players who can effectively dash block, really have troubles with. Just need to raise your skill curve a bit. Then you'll be complaining about Raiden/Kitana/Kung Lao/Johnny Cage/Kabal/Cyrax in no time.
Actually I don't see any gimmick, mind game or deep game-play in spamming B3,2,1.
I have no problems to get close to Liu Kang. The problem lies in starting an offensive because his B3 cancels all of my normals, it's just like a shoryuken in Street Fighter. I would not be so sad if his B3,2,1 didn't lead into a 34% combo EVERY DAMN time (48% with x-ray). It's just not fair. I have to be focused the whole match to not catch a B3 and all HE has to do is spamming his main combo.
And concerning Noob Saibot: My troubles with him are not as high as with Kang. But look: If I wavedash to get close he already took 20% of my life bar just because I blocked(!) his shadows. What is that supposed to be?!
Honestly, just chill out and learn how to play the game. Figure out ways to work around things. I used to get mad at the game when it first came out (well, it was broken...) but I worked around things. The game is ****ing amazing now. If you let your anger get to you then it will ruin the game for you.
I assume you also would get angry, if someone beat you 5 hours straight without any gameplay or mindgame. I tried everything this is the only reason why I ask other players in a forum. Believe me, this is no pleasure, it's just like I expected: 33% "learn the ****ing game!" and 33% offtopic.
"counter-attack."
HAHA funny I can counter B3,2,1 with D3 if it hits my block! WOW!
edit: I even commanded my brother to face expert cpu to see what AI does against it.->chanceless AI
Critical-Limit said:"Mind Games"
The best tactic to have ever been made. I'm not the best player by any means but I do know how to play mind games.
If you're having trouble with kang I would try and learn his mix ups and zoning patterns. an when rushing him don't jump do your best to dash and block.
