I then set the difficulty to easy ...and still sucked.

I played the game for 3 hours straight. Tried 5 different characters. Spent some time in trial mode. Read the manaul. Got a little better. ...but still sucked. 

I still cant believe how much I sucked at Street Fighter. I used to play quite some SF II, back then. And usually I am pretty good at any beat-em-up I pick up. But not this time around... 

Actually at some point I was only yelling angrily at my TV. I even yelled at my MacBook for some reason, just because it lost the Wifi-Connection when it went into standby-mode. I was mad enough to climb into my TV and yell at my opponent in person. 

Like Abel, that did his Tornado-Throw 6 times in one round. And Seth who would just do that Dhalsim-like punch 11 times in a row, while I sat in a corner crouch-blocking it anyway. They all made me just so ... angry. 

 

Of course I was angry at my self for sucking so hard and showing almost no progress...

I still don't know what my problem was. Maybe it's the stick of my controller. Or I just didn't have the timing right. Or it's that I almost only played Dead or Alive for the last couple years. It can't possibly be, that I DO suck... please...

Anyway, I returned the game the next day. Told them I never used it, that I only opened it to check if everything was in the case and got a full refund.  At least I am still good at lying...
