    I mean some characters are just unusable against certain people. All the high level ranked players use cheap characters like Astaroth. You can't even geet close to him with a character like Talim she gets eaten alive.

    Astaroth sucks. I never see high level players use him. It's usually Siegfried.

    Im rank 20 and I use custom version of yun seong in standard ranked in special ranked I just goof off because I dont care special is for noobs. I would know since I used to play there with cervantes and button mash. I only go to special versus to beat button mashers to make them want to learn their moves because that is what happend to me and every since then I have had ifinite fun.

    Yea and Nightmare. Although I found Kilik to be the most annoying. Still, theres always a move that can counter that cheapness.

    I don't think they are lame, although I was kinda bummed out when it matched me up against a level 53 player... ... I'm level 1.

    Really? i have alittle less the 100 wins and i never fought anyone above 21.

    I usually have a few good matches, Before i run into some hardcore Spammers that just use Cheap Tactics (cervantes's Psycho crusher/Teleport) Repeatedly. Thankfully, Xbox live Filters those guys out once you rate them negatively.

    Best way to avoid it is to play with friends.

    It is lame how higher ranked players use Astaroth and other long-ranged characters, but it's easy to see through their tactics after the first battle.
