i just started playing these tournaments the other day cuz i was out of town, but one thing i don't like so far is i don't seem to be able to connect to half the games i try. gives me the "unable to play, search again?" message all the time. what's the deal with that?

also, i agree about seeing more boring/cheap players in champ mode. i've seen more akumas than i have in the past. luckily i've learned to fight most akumas and win except against the better players. i'm always tempted to disconnect when i see akuma simply because i know exactly how the match will go and its boring as hell.
