Anyway this isn’t about how good it is, or even the few things in it that aren’t so good, I’ll do a proper review later but there’s something annoying me much more than I have to rage about.

The Ken/Akuma Fighter IV Pheonom.

Now I’ve only spent 3 hours online, but seriously I have only came across only 8 characters being used.  The vast majority were shoryuken-happy Ken’s with a number of Akuma’s whose sole purpose in life is to do flying hadokens and raging demons with the odd dragon punch while you’re getting up Ken-style.  Seriously. The cheapness and lack of variety online is ridiculuous.  The others Gouken (4) Ryu (3) Sagat (1)  Blanka (1) Fei Long (1)  Dhalsim (1).

Now I’m sure I not the only one who gets bored of fighting Ken’s and Akuma’s (and a lesser extent Ryu’s).  My own brother is one of them (I’ll never be able to keep up with you if I’m not Ken) but come on people, I’m not as good with Sakura, Zangief and Cammy but WINNING ISN’T EVERYTHING! Try the other fighters. Think about it, if you don’t try anyone else and everyone else does the same it’s just endless Ken vs Ken until you acome across a fool like me who would rather make things a little more interesting.

To everyone out there playing as Honda, Blanka etc I salute you. To all you masses of Ken and Akuma players, damn you, you are boring me off playing online.
