Luckily there happens to be maintenance scheduled tonight so I can only play World Tour and Arcade.
I kinda fell off World Tour right before the second tournament, for me as a low-mid skilled guy it just seemed like too many of the fights were boiling down to "damn, how would I have possibly won that without all those health items?" and it kinda sapped the energy out of the room for me.
But I was also pretty married to Ryu and Ken's movesets just because they're the core of the game, so coming back I wanted to finally put some time into Lily. Sakura was my favorite in SFIV (the last SF I played anything like regular) and Lily seems the most like her, with the added benefit that her moves are the same inputs as what I'm used to.
Plus she's my kinda gal. Feels bad when I suck and she gets all bruised up compared to how everybody else mostly just collects dirt on their clothes.
Plus I realized I bought the character pack, apparently, so I may as well finish World Tour and at least see through each character's arcade mode story arc. A.K.I. seems like she's for freaks and I'll be interested to see how Akuma turns out.
