As I was playing MM9 today (which is still kicking my ass) I got to thinking about certain games over the years that I've loved that either
a) I sucked at
b) were ridiculously hard, or
c) a combination of the two.
Most of the time b is a product of a, but in the case of MegaMan 9, it's just genuinely hard. So, have there ever been any games that just annihilate you, but you keep playing more? All the MegaMans fall in this category for me, as do most 2D shooters. Oddly enough, Street Fighter does, too. It's a lot of fun, but I'm horrible at all of 'em. I don't even know how to do any of the combo moves when your gauge fills up!

Infinites
ROM
c.hp, sj.hk, addf.lk, ad.lk, land, [sj.lk, sj.lk addf, ad.lk, ad.lk, land] - repeat in brackets.
Variants - replace the bracket section with any of the following:
[sj.lk ad df lk lk] [sj.lp ad df lk lk] [sj lp lk ad df lk lk] [sj. lp lp ad df lk lk]
Not specific reasoning other than letting someone drop/raise and for show.
The ROM is basis for Magneto play once you reach at least an intermediate level. The majority of your time playing, you'll be trying to set this up, one way or another. Add pauses inbetween after the second sj.lk when you get to the brackets, and then another between the third and fourth sj.lk's as needed to keep your opponent at a good height.
But that leads to stuff like this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nGmA2ZnDtL8

I'm assuming you're referring to Street Fighter III? I found that the joystick is much better for the super special moves while the D-pad is better when not performing one of 'em.CronoTriggerfan wrote:As I was playing MM9 today (which is still kicking my ass) I got to thinking about certain games over the years that I've loved that either
