Lol true that. Haha I dunno you're gonna have to try and find some Welly players lol. At least other than Auckland Wellington probably has the next biggest FGC I think. Not Tekken though as they don't have an arcade... Christchurch is next biggest other than Auckland for Tekken but even then its pretty small..
Yeah I can understand not having much interest in 2d fighting games, I use to not like them at all, but then I got MK and liked it. Then after watching all the Standingfierce guys play them they looked fun so I started learning SF, SFxT, KOF13 and injustice (I'm still amazingggly terrible at these games).
I can understand how you feel about Tekkens movement system as well.. Meh, it's a bit hard but just moving around feels so enjoyable in it for me.
I suck at DOA5 as well loll, I don't think anyone really takes that game that seriously on a competitive level though, I don't think there's like any NZ community for it either..
Yeah I dunno lol.. if you were to pick up another fighting game i'd prob recommend tekken for the similarities, or Marvel for the quickness in learning that I've heard it has, or Injustice for the fact that it seems pretty easy and its a new game so everyone is still learning wtf to do. haha.
Also i'm on XBL atm if you want a game or two. Btw i'm pretty average at SCV as well lol
