I've found that Hitomi kicks the most ass on a consistant basis. She has very good reversals and devistating power attacks that push opponents into the ring. Double Reach all the time. Just don't get her in the corner... ugh, so cheap!
i've been wondering, what do danger reach and power reach mean? i didn't see it explained anywhere.

they are point bonuses. you get added points for juggles, combos, and items picked up.

Anyhow have any of you hit the 100 mark for either?

I had been using Christie and Ein...I could easily swap Ein for Hitomi...

That would be a NO. I get to about 18 and the CPU owns my ass. In an almost cheap fashion. Always against the ropes and almost always against Bayman/Leon.

I very rarely get 20 in single, and for some reason I have a harder time with tag (though theoretically with better health management you'd do better there).
I used Ein because he's my best character and I use Hitomi because she's the most like Ein...
it seems you're the most suited in this forum to answer your own question though

Use throws against grapplers (Leon, Bayman, Bass, & Tina will almost ALWAYS counter your combos) and use combos against everyone else.
For extremely fast characters like Ayane and Kasumi. They notoriously use high and low attacks, so learn how to counter those. Ein/Hayate also use alot of high attacks. Simply countering with Away + Free will not counter their attacks.
Just some more tidbits I picked up. The training mode will really help you ID the difference between high and mid attacks. Just hit L3 and punck/kick away!

When I play against the computer in story mode, even if I face him on level 7, I can beat him most of the time by simply mid-punch countering the whole time.
Also I've noticed that the computer rarely counters below level 25, 25 to 35 it will counter a little more frequently, and above that it plays essentially normal.
so take advantage of the fact that the computer will rarely counter in the begining.

Damn you have a bunch of achievement points...
achievement points aren't everything, take a peak at the games he has in there, i'm pointing specifically at games that give points away such as madden, fifa, nba, king kong that all give 1000 each with next to no work (not saying he's not a skilled gamer, he has quite a few points from other games as well that don't give them away such as perfect dark/doa 4)

Click on their gamertag, either by subbing it into the http link, or by finding them on Xbox.com, and click "Compare Games". You'll be able to see everything that they've played compared to everything you've played.

swap out "twistedsymphony" with whatever gamertag
XS has it setup so the left hand gamer card links to their profile/games and achievments.

Also, I've worked pretty hard for most of my achievements. I've seen a guy with 13,000; and he has weak ahcievements in the games I dominated. So the sum doesn't tell you as much as the parts.
