This is the first time when playing a game that I felt like an athlete. I focused on Scorpion, mostly because I have the game pre-ordered at gamestop. I saw the 57% damage youtube combo and aimed for that one. At first, I couldn't even get one of the airkick/teleports to hit. But, after I got the timing down on that, and knew it could actually be accomplished, I went to two, then three. Now I'm landing them with occasional consistency. But, each day when I go to play the game I have to work my way up each time, because you have to enter the inputs so fast. I found that working on my thumb technique helped a lot. I noticed that my thumb needed to be more mechanical, especially when initiating the air kicks. Sometimes I would be sloppy and input the wrong commands. So, I just spent an hour jumping back and forth. I found you can turn the timer off and increase the rounds to 3. Then, I decided to use the 2 player and select 2 scorpions and go back and forth doing the combos with each scorpion. This was the major breakthrough for me. When playing the single player, it was just hard to focus on the execution of the combos. But, in 2 player I could just focus better. All in all, I think the combo system is tremendous. The cancelling adds a lot of depth to it. People say that the super meter caters to noobs. But, I guarantee, the noobs will be gettin' stomped day one. The marquis players will eat the noobs alive with this game. The speed of the game alone, will cause the some people to be instantly dominated.
