So I finally found a semi "local" game store (about an hour away, boo) and I competed in both AE and ST. I did horrible. I lost to a Blanka the first round, beat a DJ player, than lost to a Ryu afterwards. Dammit Blanka. I could have beaten the Ryu but I mistimed my Ultra and lost
Though I didn't do great, there were a lot of great players who were equally nice. They compete all the time and even though their group was set, they welcomed me right in easily. Here's hoping they have more on weekends (they do them mainly on Thursdays).
As for Super Turbo, I got third place
Scarily enough, I've never played it before lmao Vega is awesome!
