    Was just wondering if this game still has a healthy online community going or not. Is it hard to find a person to fight against, or does it happen pretty quickly? Also, is the online really laggy? Or does it work pretty well?

    Secondly, how is this game as a whole? I'm recently getting into fighting games, but i didn't like Street Fighter IV for some reason. However, i played Super Smash Bros. Brawl at a friends and i liked it a lot (was easier to wrap my mind around). I also played an older Tekken game, and some other fighting game i don't remember the name of. I liked them both though, a lot more then i liked the Street Fighters. So i'm wondering how this game is?

    I like the idea of creating my own fighter and pitting him against others. I wish there were more fighting games like that. I want a fighting game more involved then just pick a premade dude, learn his skills, and fight against another person who may, or may not pick the same exact dude.

    Anyways, i saw this game at a local game store for like 20 bucks, and was wondering if it was worth it.

    Well I've been playing on Xbox LIVE and I've found that lag isn't a problem and that it's not hard finding a match but that the players on there were no slouches and there is some very serious online competition. I think if you liked Tekken and similar games you'll like this and I'd say it's worth the 20 bucks.

    It's fairly active, you only need to find one other person to play a game so you don't need to worry too much about how large the community is.

    Just bought it. Was only 25 bucks, and at the very least me and my friend have more fun playing this then we ever did playing Street Fighter IV. Why? I have no idea. We just do.

    Thanks for the advice guys.

    Well worth the money, the most fluid 3D fighter I've played. The online is pretty decent, and pretty active still.
