I aint got nothin against old skool games man, thats where I cut my teeth, but yo implication was that I be "Johnny-cum-lately" cos Most of my fave characters were from Tekken 2 era onward.
I luv the old games, but i cant get trapped in the past, I play for a challenge and while I still go to the arcade for the thrill that cums from playin World Heroes or Street Fighter 2, I can do a lot more in Dead or Alive Ultimate or Soul Calibur 2 or Tekken 5 (quite a nice game I must say). I like to stay current.
Just for the record, I never really liked MK, I found it stiff and wooden, I like fluidity.
