Hello. I just want everyone to know, that I suck at this game.

[CoastalMaineiac]

And yet, I'm totally addicted to it. I started playing with SC2 on the XBOX, and have SC4 and now SC5.

My XBox live win ratio is right around 40% and somehow I've managed to make it to C4 rank.

I tend to alternate between Pyrrha, Xiba, and Astaroth, though I've been trying to learn to play Viola.

The only things that drives me bonkers are the input responses on the XBox controller. I don't know how many times I've played Pyrrha and tried to do a on a grounded foe, only to have the thing ignore the diagonal input altogether and do a regular , useless on a grounded foe, and very aggravating when I get punished for a move I didn't want to do. Still, this game is great fun.

Aw, you'll fit right in :)

learn about Astaroth here
Pyrrha here
Viola over hyah
Xiba too

PSN & XBL player list is worth checking into,
as is the XBL matchfinder thread

There's also a regional matchmaking subforum or twelve for offline gatherings and plenty of surprisingly good casual subforums around too.


Oh, and you can add me if you'd like too. I'm in the same boat as you, but I'm a teensy bit more psychotic and dig the casual stuff as much as the competitive. I can promise you this though: you won't out-humble me!

Pocky Yoshi says hello and is pleased to meet you. Chin up, 8wayrunner. No one starts out good, they have to work to get "good". So just learn at your own pace. We'll help you out if you get stuck.

Sure this vid may seem puzzling at first, but it makes it easier to point out the moves that bug you should you ask for help. I would list other links, but I don't want to overwhelm you for now. However, if you're voracious to learn, just take a peek at the links Wandrian provided.


That being said, tell us a bit more about yourself. Pocky Yoshi knows the pain of X-box input problems though he's recently been getting the hang of it.
