Ok, after a couple hours play, I'm WAY off my game. I was losing to
everybody in ranked. the speed difference and input timings are throwing me way off right now, and I keep trying to do 3s combos and hit MK to choose my costume for Dudley. I played a good 30 or so matches against a friend of mine, and he tore me apart for about 6 straight matches, then I started to get the groove back and eventually won the set by 3. I made sure to swap back and forth between characters to get the game engine back in my brain. It's starting to click again, but I'm only playing at about 70% right now. I'll have to practice for a week or so to get everything back together so I can update my Dudley guide.
Dropping into Saty's endless battle was like being strapped to a bed for a week and then trying to run a 10k :lol

Now I feel kinda douchey for being in that room where you were the only person with a mic on, maybe one other person had one?
I have 2 reasons I don't like to use the mic. First is the quality. A lot of times when I talk I hear my voice repeated into my ear after I speak which makes it hard to hear others, and also huge chunks of what I'm hearing and what I say get dropped so there is oftentimes an unbearable level of "Huh? What?" going on. And secondly when I'm in my retarded little SF zone I just really don't feel much like talking. I know chat can improve a lot of games and there is plenty of good times to be had, but when it comes to me and SF, it's Voice Chat OFF.
Nah it's ok, you had the pleasure of breaking me in after my hiatus. My first live match after a month of 3s and Jojo. It was pretty brutal. I used Fei Long because I knew the speed difference wouldn't hurt as much, plus, it's fucking Dhalsim. When I swapped back to Dudley to play DBJ, it was brutal. I had to leave right there and swing into Ranked and Practice.
Still, trash talk and matchup discussion is everything to me.
Also, I lost the dongle that lets me connect my mic to my arcade stick, so...
Yeah, it's that important.
