Ive only been playing HC for about 4 months now, and not really even that heavily til last couple weeks, it was something silly I could play with my girl friend in the evenings and was super easy to learn and sets up fast for a game which is handy when you have a 1 year old running around. I started my collection by buying a few starter packs also known as 'fast forces' as I knew nothing about the game, so I grabbed the Street Fighter pack and the Watchmen pack as I used to be mad about Ryu and the gang when I was younger and my girl friend loves the Watchmen movie.
The SF sculpts were awesome and the small little character maps brought back childhood memories, the Watchmen sculpts although not as good (as I learnt later these are quite a bit older) but still quite cool and the massive map soon saw team based skirmishes across them, the lab map is probably my favourite map that Ive played to date. Even though I loved my little SF army they were ultimately no match for The Watchmen, as I then learnt of the 3 different exp levels of the characters and the sculpts they represented.
Experience is reflected in the points it costs to play them at the start of a fight. As it turns out the SF starter is made up of six 50 point 'rookie' level characters (like when Ryu was a dragon punch virgin and Guile just sat around all day combing his hair) and the Watchmens' only rookie was Dr Manhattan who was 150 points alone and killing entire squads of Street Fighters on his own! (on a side note even to this day he is still tearing my teams apart as my girlfriend loves him and is often her go to attacker). Although using higher pointed versions of a character does help with giving you more powers to use and bigger life bars for taking damage, the cheaper characters can fill a hole in your team when you have a couple of points going spare in the bigger games.
