I did more or less the same thing in a real arcade with yoshimitsu as a kid. I guess an online lobby just isn't the same. You don't get to have another kid walk up to you and accuse you of cheating cause you're just pressing buttons randomly (accurate, but i still don't consider what i did cheating; the game let me). So I've been the super expert/alleged cheater myself. Using a character with a suicidal move. Yeah, f* that kid. That wasn't cheating.
I ... Never liked virtua fighter. My neighbor gave me a copy of i think iv on ps2 because he got bored of it. Just gave it away for free. Then i played it and ... Got bored of it. I can't remember why it just wasn't my thing. Iirc the combat moved a bit slower and as someone whose favorite fighters are Arc Systems titles, i think you can see where my problem was.
