So I got home and spent some time going through arcade mode with my new team. Getting very used to the characters. Kyo feels like my weakest so I'm going to put more focus on him today. I'm confident I made the right choice with Joe as he seems to be the star of my team.

After getting a bit tired of arcade mode I decided it was time to go online. I signed up for a month of Xbox Live Gold ($9 what a scam), and attempted to venture into the world of multiplayer. I said attempted, because apparently nobody plays KoFXII online anymore. I was hoping that with XIII being so close to release people would be picking this up again in preperation. I was only able to find one online match the entire day. I literally left the game searching for a match while I mprepared and ate some food and it was still searching when I returned.

The game I did manage to find had a decent amount of lag so it wasnt a great test. I did however manage to not lose to embarassingly to someone who had a SSS rank compared to my F rank.

Since I was having so much trouble with the online, I decided to go back to Arcade mode and max out the difficulty. The AI is kind of crappy though and its still fairly easy to win an entire match with 1-2 characters and I dont think I ever needed to dip into my 3rd fighter.

I did notice that I'm not as consistant as I'd like to be with several moves when performing them from the 2P side. Today I'm going to fix that by sitting in practice mode doing reverse dragon punches and the like for hours. Gonna have to iron that out.

Hopefully when XIII launches I'll be able to sink into the online a lot more.
