I must be one of these scrubs in ranked, then. After a night of playing, I had like a 30% win ratio, though I did notice that my win ratio against most characters was between 60% to 100% - it was just Ken and another character I forget that I had a terrible win ratio against that dragged the average down. To be fair, you just don't get arcades here (just the odd racing game or light gun game at bowling alleys or cinemas) and no one else I know plays fighting games, so I don't really have any practice against other people despite having played fighting games since SFII.

Thanks for telling me you lose 100 damage for cancelling into U2 from a teleport - I had no idea. The fireball-punishing set up seems pretty cool and really fits in with my reason I have for using Akuma; doing cool little things like that to annoy my opponent. I know he's not a gimmicky character but I kind of enjoy using him that way.

Thanks a lot for linking to these videos. I haven't watched them all yet - I'm typing this before I carry on - but I've been looking for some really clear examples of controlling space, as seen in that first video.
