A few things

I haven't wrote in here in a while, so here we go.

I've started watching Burn Notice, thanks to "The Geekbox" podcasts.  Good show that has Bruce Campbell in it, but not too stimulating.  Just a kind of fun show.  It's not "The Unit", which I think is superb TV, but it's decent enough.  Oh and speaking of which, I've pretty much gotten heavy into

In order to play multiple ranked matches in SF IV you need to create a lobby, then turn on the switch to enable only private slots, then invite people in. Although I can't remember if you can only do that for ranked or player matches. But yeah. Why there's no "rematch" option after you play someone is beyond me. Hopefully in a future patch they'll implement double-blind character select online. Although it doesn't really matter, everyone picks Ken or Sagat anyways.

Ultras and Supers having more startup is definitely something to get used to. It's not even a matter of performing them earlier, it seems like you need to really pick your spots as to when you use them, which I like. Considering that you get Ultra meter for taking damage, I wouldn't want them to be too easy to land, otherwise it would be too great a reward for getting beaten up, if that makes sense.

And I disagree about them not being great punishing counters - I ate Sagat's Ultra with Abel yesterday - guy saw me starting up the crack shoot, then BAM!.

The other day, I got beat by Sagat and Gouken, and I thought to myself, why bother....
