After playing UMVC3 for a while and learning Thor (One of the slowest initiators in the game) I found myself doing better with characters like Wolverine (Which is my favorite). It also helped me a lot in MK9 since the combos aren't as tight as KOFXIII or SSFIV:AE. I was defeated a lot in all this games, but when I go back to playing with newer people, I can clearly see the difference. In my opinion people should make 2 accounts for their fighting games. One for reference, and one for competition. It helps a lot. Trust me. I've always been the type of person to figure stuff out, but lately it's much easier to try the Missions and Tutorials.
@clima3x Well about Raiden vs Shao Kahn what I did to win is that I got close to him, and right before his hammer hit me I teleported behind him and I kicked him down with back+kick. get close to him again and rinse and repeat. this is the best way to beat him, he's a cheesy ass boss. He will keep trying to hit you with his hammer when you're close. If you time your teleport right, you'll be fine.
