I just have to say that there is something much more intense about playing fighting games online against other human opponents. I play all sorts of multiplayer games but none really capture the intimidation I feel even before a round starts. I guess I'm just saying that the competition in fighting games just feels much more exciting when you win and all the more frustrating when you lose.

Not when you aren't expecting to win ever, like me.

I feel that way in every single online game.  In fact sometimes I get a little bit too stressed out, especially if I'm in some game with ranking and I can't change my login id.
