Kind of like when you've played Halo for the last year and they announce Unreal Championship or something, which is great in it's own right but is nothing like what you expected and wanted it to be.
When I bought SC2 I was at heart a Dead or Alive fan. And that's what I expected, on my first fight I instantly thought. Man this is different, it was at a different pace and required different types of skill to win. I lost alot of my first fights because I tried to pull off lightning quick combos without thinking about what I'm doing. Admitadly, I didn't like it.
But after a month or too I started playing it again and having shook off that DOA expectation I found myself really imersed in it. And thus my love for SC was born.
