I am so bad at fighting games.
I gave up on them since Street Fighter II when I would play with my sister and attempt to actually put it combo codes and then get completely annihilated when she would just mash her palm into the controller and do some crazy death move repeatedly.

Since then I think I've only played some Mortal Kombat (single player, I only got to like the 3rd guy), and some Killer Instinct (on the easiest setting, I think I may have actually beat this one...).
Good luck to everyone else though. Looks like fun!
