I suck. GT is "CoolGuy4Life". If you want to play some SF, hit it up. I play CVS2 and CFE too. I will be on VF5 when it hits too, hehe.
Peace.
How smoothly is the online play? Is there lag of any kind? And how many people log on daily?
I just got a 360, so I've been considering buying a couple used Xbox fighting games with an online mode, provided they run smoothly and have a healthy dose of players to fight against. Recommendations would be great.

It can be crappy at times. When I play, it's usually late at night, so I get a fair amountof playable games.
I am in the process of getting my mas stick fixed (joystick went out), so I haven't been on lately. I say late at night, there is a good chance of you getting a good game going.

You should have no problems finding players at any given time and I rarely experienced any lag, even when the opponent supposedly had a bad connection. I live in Europe and when I played against a guy from Canada, he was still able to pull off a red parry, so that's saying something about the netcode...SOLDIER said:
Don't get Hyper Fighting on XBLA though: its netcode is noticeably worse when compared to SF: AC's, even after the patch.
The game runs pretty darn smoothly, but unfortunately that 360 pad is killing me. I haven't played in a while, but I know that when my brain thinks "Shoryuken", my thumbs respond instantly.
Unless someone can name a good alternative to the 360 pad (preferably wireless and NOT an arcade stick), I might have to give this a pass.

hey you guys want to set a time to play this?
They got a SF3 machine at my college and I got my ass royally handed to me my first day there. I guess it might be because I haven't touched the games since the Dreamcast days, but still it took several inches off my gamer penis.
Anyways I got it on the xbox now and I have an arcade stick. I wouldn't mind playing against a human oppenent to sharpen up. I've just been practicing against the CPU and watching Daigo vids.
I live in the UTC/GMT -5 hours time zone and can set up to play a match at basically any time on the weekends, and after 5pm on weekdays.
EDIT - found some people playing tonight online. The first guy just murdered me for 4 matches then left.
The next guy beat me for about 5 matches. He played the same character for the first 2, but then started switching up since I guess he didn't think I was much of a challenge. Every match I was getting closer and closer and by about the 6th match I finally won! Then he went back to his main character and went full out. The awesome thing is it ended in a double KO on the 3rd round and the judges declared me the winner. He then preceded to pummel me the next few matches before I called it a night.
Great fun. Felt like I'm actually playing with some direction instead of spamming a move and hoping for the best.
