Listen son. If you are trying to get good at a fighter and by good I mean actually compete in tournaments and win, you are not going to play the ai and get better. For example. In Marvel vs Capcom 2, when you play Magneto, is the cpu gonna do rom inifintes and resets and use it's assists properly? No. The computer isn't going to do anything but spam random stuff like a noob because it is terrible. In CVS2, when you play Bison on A groove, is he going to paint the fence? No, he's going to do some random CC that does nothing and you are going to think you know how to fight Bison and then get wrecked if you ever have to play someone who actually knows how to use bison. The point is that important things like mind games, mix ups, traps, and pretty much all the important stuff you need to know in high level play you won't learn from the ai. The only thing you get from the ai is the most basic noob level of play. If you actually want to learn about fighters, go to www.shoryuken.com and read the forums.

Super Turbo, Guilty Gear X2(#R,/, or AC), Marvel Vs Capcom 2, Capcom Vs Snk 2. Also I said nothing about a decent fighting game, I said if you get decent at a fighting game you will see but w/e. I've heard about how Virtua Fighter uses japanese arcade data from the top players to make their AI, but I know nothing about 3d fighters so I can't tell you how playing the AI will make you in it, but trust me when I say I know a little about 2d fighters and can tell you that the AI will do nothing but teach you bad habits.

not wrong if you ever get decent at a fighting game and get some human competition you will realize that the computer teaches you bad habits and that you learn nothing from playing them

who cares the only reason to play fighting game is to play other people, playing the computer just makes you worse also, you said your current stick doesn't work for your computer, do you not have the right converter or does the computer just not recognize it?
