I know nobody really reads my journals, and if anybody, two people on my watch list will find this relevant, but I needed to write this down or else I'd go crazy.

I try to play online. Quick matches. The kind where you can play with anybody, anywhere. Skill level is not accounted for. Fine, cool. I thought I was pretty good at this game...

Every single fucking person I play online (with one exception) has used Ryu. And if both of us agreed to another match, the other person refused to play anyone else. The last time I tried to get a match going, I saw that my opponent picked Ryu and I immediately shut off my system. That's how frustrated I got. Is there a way to block characters? Or is it just that everybody and their mother uses Ryu? I refuse to accept this. Now, for anybody who doesn't know, I detest the idea of a tier system.
That might be one of the things that's bothering me so much, the fact that the tier system's existence is being "proven" to me repeatedly.

Seriously, people, there are other characters in this game! Fucking use them!

It's hard being a Honda player in a Ryu/Ken/Akuma world...
