never owned xbl b4 but just started this past summer around like mid-july...
on Mame, I just somehow ended up fighting high level players every single night...mainly like Marvirrasta, w1nter warz, Miss Spin, MKMAN (gtto), and Livewire. They usually had rooms wit 3-4 and id always be in there so gettin 2 play with those catz from the very start of touching the game and watching a lotta youtube goodies beat me in 2 shape kinda quick lol
still tryin 2 learn every charact. tho
