It says GMT so I’m guessing you’re from Europe or UK. If so you can add me on PSN Armagedron, I normally play on XBL/PC, but I’m willing to help out if you’re serious about improving. The only downside is that my PSN is a shared account so if possible, pm me your skype or send me a message before hand to make sure it’s actually me who’s playing.

yeah i wanna play someone from europe as well so I dont get so much lag

Hope this thread isn’t dead- just came back from a SSFIV hiatus, looking to up my Sakura game.
