It all depends… i have 24 megabit connection and against some ppl in US it is decent and against somepretty bad. I Could believe it would be easier for ppl in east coast cause it is closer to western eu.
Connection inside EU-zone is mostly good. Sure there is always some ppl with bad connection, but mostly it is good.
forgot to say that the game community on xbox-live is pretty big and there is lots of good players, points between 20K-30k and pretty easy to find ppl to play every night.
Yes come to 360 and face awesome players like me! I will boost combo every chance I get 
Here is how it really looks like for EU xbl:
I usually have trouble getting endless matches on xbl nowadays. Between 7 and 11 pm gmt +1 that is.
I see like 3 busy rooms usually and when I make another one nobody joins. Waiting +30 minutes sometimes… for a random D rank.
Without active people on your friendlist it sucks in Europe.
We need more EU players, get the game for xbox asap, there’s monsters on there that can give you really good matches
I use Bryan as a point character because Dudley is a meter whore. o_0
ATM I mostly run Dudley as an anchor for Bryan. I think he fits your description of having a strong offense while also possessing a solid footsies game as well (and dat damage). I also play him with Ogre, but I feel it’s a less optimal team, even if tag combo damage from Bryan to Ogre is pretty insane and leads to all sorts of shenanigans.
Couple nice combos from Snake Pit TC:
Dudley
Snake [tag] J. HP, St. HK xx MK Duck, Cr. MP xx MK Short Swing Blow (max midscreen damage)
Snake [tag] J. HP, F + MK, F + MK, MP Jet Upper (easier, good positioning)
[Corner] Snake [tag] NJ. HK, St. HK xx MK Short Swing Blow, HP Jet Upper (pretty awesome damage)
Ogre
Snake [tag] J. HK, Cl. HK xx CADC, Cl. HP xx HP Waning Moon (Dat damage)
Snake [tag] J. HK, Cl. HK xx CADC, Cl. HP xx LK Owl’s Hunt (Hard knockdown, safe tag, safe jump set up)
I have been known to play Elena X Bryan as well, but I’ve moved away from the team as of late. It’s good for dealing with fireball characters and laming out, but the Duds deals more damage and has better synergy with Bryan.
You would get the same, if not more damage with:
EX Snake, mp fisherman, fMK~, Mach.
Rcion. How can you say that 
For Ranked, there is almost always ppl on A-rank for example. Sure, it can be pain in the ass to find endless sometimes, but most of the times there is also some great endless lobbyes, like SRK guys etc…
Sure big friendlist is great and in case Dex_Sama is going to join us, feel free to invite me to ur friend list.
It’s true and my attempt to play just now confirms it. Had an endless room open for an hour and got two D ranks in total. In ranked I got two more D ranks and a B rank that mashed Sakura’s cr. Lk after my jump ins and Akuma dive kicks. Raw launched him three times.
It’s slightly better during the weekend. But I wouldn’t expect a lot of challenges/fun games everytime you play.
So true. So sad, but so true.
And don’t even try to get something started in the afternoon.
Even in “our” primetime I find more guys from Brazil than Europe. :v
Lol I don’t touch this game at all during the afternoon. Waste of time unless you were on the IRC and got someone to play with.
hmm. i just got my account fully back this morning and already been playing against almost 10 A-rank today. For example against MadJalass, iosasssss, that hungarian guy, the one from russia etc… Maybe i have been just lucky then, but still feel that the sfxt community in xbox is alive and feeling great
The good thing about the Euro XBL scene is if you go on at like 10pm - 1am you get some fantastic games against pretty much the top players here. Most games you don’t get a chance to test your ability against the top.
Yeah, righty right. Even though before noon I somehow find decent-good opponents.
And the “princess” Markowiz finally got his acc back, yay.
Noticing your Sim/Kuma team wasn’t that difficult. :3
Reh, have i been playing against you? i can’t see reason for you to call me princess… i have never said that i am better than just average guy who have been playing since release. What is your tag on xbox-live?
We played pretty often. And please, a guy from Finland playing Sim/Kuma? PrincessXYZ or what that tag was!
It has to be you.
Man all you guys are just jealous of D/C ranked PSN East Coast NA. I’m swimming in people to play against.
I’ve considered Dudley on multiple occasions, but he has always struck me as a difficult character to use (weird coming from a Lei main). His combos were quite tricky to do and he has so many TCs and the like. Maybe I’ll put him through his paces tonight. He reminds me a fair bit of Akihiko from P4a.
Do you think team DudLei could work?
Yeah yeah… My main is Sim/Kuma. Also like to play Yoshi/Vega, Yoshi/Marduk, Vega/Hugo etc… I was just thinking that why do u call me “princess” and what is your tag on xblox live?
I wish I found players like that in ranked…I could be c+ by now looool
Reh, you know, i am here just to have fun and i have never said that i am something special. Just average player having fun with other fighting game fans. But the way you attack against me without even saing your xbox live tag… why is it that you dont like me? is it because i have defeated you with my Sim?
Huh? I “attack” you?
I just thought that that “fake/alternative” tag was Princess458 or something like that and I recognized that it would be you because it’s a flag from Finland and someone playing Yoshi/Vega and Sim/Kuma.
But if you think that I meant to offend you… well… yeah… right. Sure. Go for it. Whatever floats your boat, sir.
