1: Which fighting game do you play? (I'm using the broad sense of the genre, so things like SSB is totally fine)
2: How would you describe you're current skill level in said game?
3: On what platform do you play said game?
4 and most important: WHO WANTS TO PLAY AGAINST EACH OTHER?
And also general fighting game discussions are welcome here.

I guess I'm pretty decent with Ayane and some of the other characters. I don't know about online cause I barely ever have the urge to play online.
DoA 4 and 5 I play on the 360.

2. I'm pretty decent when I actually sit down and learn a character, but execution consistency goes out the window when I play against random people online.
3. I mainly play Xbox, but I also own a PS3 which Jojo's is on, and the PC for Skullgirls.
4. I'D LOVE TO PLAY AGAINST OTHER PEOPLE! I'm hoping we get a Smash community going here so we'll have people to play once it hits this Summer.
I'm Blak, and I have shit taste.

I also have UMVC3 but I just...it's just...too much for me.
I like King of Fighters but have none of the games in my personal possession.
I play mostly offline with my friends in person which can be rare but it's still enjoyable enough.
Also DIVEKICK if it counts.

If more fighting games had simplified controls, like Smash Bros, maybe I'd actually be good at them. But then people would call them "kiddy" and probably wouldn't play them, so win/lose I guess.

Well, we did have a somewhat active community for Brawl back in the day; I think the only big problem we had was bad timing in our schedules. I really hope we can make something work this time, though. If not for the 3DS version, than the Wii U one.

Is internet play not confirmed for the 3DS yet?

Or at least my skills are too shameful that bringing my A-game would be a failure. Plus Blak had it on a different console to me (I'm on PS3) that we couldn't play.

A darn shame, I have it on Xbox 360. Momentarily I don't even have Xbox live anymore since I purchased Streetfighter on Steam, so my Xbox is practically gathering dust right now. But for a good couple of matches I'd happily pay for a month of xbox live.
On another note, is anyone hyped for Ultra Streetfighter 4? Although it's a quick cash-in from Capcom I do have to admit I'm looking forward to the game. Normally I would be hype as hell, but Decapre's reveal killed a lot of hype for me.

:P I'm glad you enjoy it but from what I've played Street Fighter isn't for me, I don't like how much it's devolved to projectile/zoning/move spamming in my experience.
Also aren't you bothered by the fact they are just weaning you for money at this point? I think they should mosey onto Street Fighter 5, it just bothers me when a game releases so many full priced expansions of itself.

Ultra Streetfighter 4? Feels like Ultimate Marvel VS Capcom 3 released a few months after Marvel VS Capcom 3, with 4 modes that could've easily be integrated into MVC3 to begin with AND characters that could've been released as DLC. But no, Capcom wanted money, so they just brought out an entirely "new" game so we'd jizz ourselves and buy it.

You're right, I believe that UMVC3 was released within a year from MVC3 and it felt more like an expansion then a new game. The same goes for streetfighter 4 and it's later alterations. But considering these games are like 40 Euro's a piece (or with Streetfighter the extra dlc was €20 I believe) I still believe it's worth it. With new alterations comes new characters which you want to play and you'll need to know their shenanigans so you can block them. The netcode improves for a better online experience and little tweaks are made to make the game more balanced.
My point being: the tweaks may be minor and everything could be included from the get-go, but if I see how much pleasure I get from playing the bigger and better game for many hours then I consider it definitely worth the purchase.
In the case of Ultra Streetfighter 4 they imported 4 characters from StreetFighter x Tekken and gave Cammy a new outfit and moveset, so none of the 5 characters are really 'original new characters'. I also have my doubts on the red focus mechanic and the Ultra double, but I'm willing to give those the benefit of the doubt, but these are also from a technical point of view not hard to implement in the game.
But I'm going to be a sucker and pay €20 for the expansion (if you own AE edition you get a discount I believe), because those 20 euro's are going to give me 100+ hours of gaming enjoyment.
I've studied marketing myself and I don't agree with Capcom's policy regarding their treatment of fighting games. Like you said Cat, It's a get money quick scheme for little effort. But my desire for the game is greater than the urge to say: I recognize this marketing stunt and I'm not going to fall for it.

I also have it on Xbox 360. All this is making me curious. What's your team?

I'm not saying they should include everything from the get-go. They can gladly patch the game and maybe expand a few things, especially give us new characters via DLC. I just see no point in bringing out an entire new game that feels like less than what I originally bought - I think a lot of people bought UMVC3 "only" cause of Phoenix, Strider or similar. One character, when they actually don't care about the others.
Well okay. There's one reason, as AngryJoe says. "F*** YOU, GIVE US MONEY!"
Now, I didn't buy UMVC3. Or MVC3. I originally thought of buying UMVC3 "just because" of Phoenix, I thought it'd be fun to play as him, see his movesets. But I was lacking a bit of money to buy it and looked online for some footage. I saw the game and decided... nah. Phoenix isn't enough for me to buy an entire game.
Just like how I do not want to buy Dead or Alive 5 Ultimate, just because it has ONE character in it that I want - Ein. Sure, there's also Rachel, Jack Bryant, Momiji and Leon... but I don't really care for them. I asked online what other things may have changed, if it was worth buying it... but apparently nothing really changed except these new characters and some balancing changes. (Which I dunno, I didn't notice anything overly unbalanced that needed fixing...) So I am not buying it. I'm happy with my DoA 5.
Now, if UMVC3 came with more modes, new characters, new stages and ALL SORTS of other new stuff, then I might think "Okay, well they brought this out barely six months after MVC3, but it seems there's enough new stuff for me to explore" and I might think buying it might be justified. But only eight new characters and 4 modes - which spectator mode that could've easily been put into MVC3 via DLC/patch... no. Not for me.

Phoenix Wright on point, Dante second and Zero as an anchor. Basically Lythero's team, but with an incredibly powerful anchor instead of limitless voomerangs and redhotkicks.

You have a legitimate point. But take into consideration that there were also balancing patches and improved online functionality plus that the game had a lower price on release. So if you didn't own a copy of MVC3 but wanted to play it, UMVC3 would be a steal.

It annoyed the shit out of me that Ein, a long-standing character of the rooster alongside Leon was not DoA5 to begin with and that I instead got Virtua Fighter characters that I don't care about, don't really know and move so differently from the DoA characters, they feel like very badly implemented characters. And then I find out, hey, you know that money you practically WASTED on DoA5? Your precious Ein is only in the Ultimate version, nyeee~

Of course, but if you look at it from the people who bought MVC3 initially's point of view, it can be pretty annoying. Look at me. I got DoA5, shortly before DoA5+ for the Vita came out, which had the other characters in it. Since I didn't have a Vita, it wasn't that bad. Then a few months later, I hear DoA5 Ultimate comes out onto PS3 AND 360, although I had the game for the 360 (and the PS3 first, but that's another story)

But don't you look at the character roster if you buy a new installment of a fighting game you played before? I mean if Ein is your main reason to play the game you should probably make sure he's in it.
I don't know what I'd do if StreetFighter 5 wouldn't have Vega (claw) in it. I'd probably still buy it, but it would leave a sour aftertaste.

Don't mess with Joe anchor, man. Especially when you combine it with Lythero's uncanny ability to pull
Viewtiful comebacks.

My team's Nick on point, Dante second and Akuma anchor. Had to really think what my third character would be, because Phoenix and Dante are too good of a shell to say no to. Million Dollars DHC to Maya = Easiest Turnabout Mode I ever got
Chose Akuma since Tatsu assist is a great GTFO move if anyone gets too close to Nick, and Akuma as anchor is great.

I'm a long running fan of DoA, I bought it because it was the new DoA game and it looked awesome. And considering that Ein, as I said, was a long-running part of the rooster since DoA2, when he initially appeared, I thought I didn't need to look. It's like bringing out Street Fighter without Ryu or Ken. Or bringing out... Smash Bros without Mario, Link or the other "long-standing presences". You never think they WOULD bring them out that way, so you see no need to check.

No they're not. It's not Street Fighter, therefore, not a fighting game.

Gah such terminology makes it clear I've got a long way to go.
Also Anthony while Blak-sama's definition is a little narrow, Street Fighter is a good example of a fighting game. RPG's are a different genre though they do have some fighting in them it's not what we're looking for here.
Listening to a nice song about Ken just now.

RPGs and Fighting games are different genres. With Fighting games, he doesn't mean RPGs that have you fight random battles. He means... more the competitive Fighting games, where you pick a character and fight against another one. You know, like Street Fighter, Dead or Alive, Marvel VS Capcom, Super Smash Bros, etc.

Gah such terminology makes it clear I've got a long way to go.
There's honestly not that much to know/learn when it comes to terminology. Just know of the basics and you're pretty much set. The real importance is knowing what that terminology relates to in regards to how you play. That, and knowing your characters inside out so you know automatically if you're safe when you do certain attacks or even more dastardly stuff like if your attack is unblockable.

You thought you could be safe in your courts, with your laws and attorneys to protect you. In this world only I am law, my word is fact, my power is absolute.

Just a shame you don't play the Xbox 360 version, I'm always up for a set or two against anyone that wants one

What's your gamertag? If I'm going to buy xbox-live again then I want to be darned sure I can play against you. Also I really need an hour of training mode or so, since I haven't played in a long time (although I watch matches weekly). My gamertag is Sjibbey by the way.
Face your emptiness don't be afraid. The danger is often smaller than your fear.
