Street Fighter 4 League Season 2 ! PSN/360!

A few months ago I decided that playing Street Fighter 4 online was leaving my dry. It had become monotonous. Search for a game , play a match, win the match and move on. Lose the match then you start over. The problem is that most the people I played online did not play the game at a serious level. They jumped around and spammed whatever moves they could in each round with no intent of being competitive. It was hard to get better at a game when I consistently played bad players. I'm talking about the ones who purposely do E Honda's Headbutt the entire match whether it is effective or not. The fun of competition just gets thrown out the window. After the new update came out allowing you to gain GRADE POINTS and achieve higher rankings to play in better tournaments, I played whenever I could to get higher in the ranks. After achieving around 4000 Grade points, I realized that in order to get 15000 , which is the next grade high from G2 to G1 , I'd have to win at least 120 finals, or 240 runner ups. Playing 3 matches to get to that point takes quite some time. Well over a 1000 matches would be needed to break g2. I don't remember a game where I played that many times with no change in game play , nothing new to look forward to. It's just repetitive matches played 1000 times. There's just not enough rewards along the way to make me keep at it.

What's the next best thing? I don't have arcades in my area. The community is one that online is your only option. So what I decided to do was make my own league. I called it Street Fighter 4 Season 1. It was meant for XBox and Playstion online. I'm a member of the Capcom community better known as Capcom-unity.com which is a forum site that hosts blogs and anything else you can think of. I decided to go ahead and announce that I was going to make a league and people should sign up. Wasn't realizing if it would take well, one by one I got gamertag responses. First season ended up with 11 people including me. I used a site called Myleague and it seemed good at the start but only proved to be too confusing in the end. After that season went through I learned a lot as well as made a lot of online friends on capcom-unity. Just last week I started a new season utilizing capcom.com's member blog. It is a huge hit. Everyone seems to be enjoying it. I have about 24 members playing games right now and it is good to know I have something else to look forward to when I start up my system and decide to spin my sf4 disc.
