Why is SRK trying to make alexisdabomb the next DSP/lowtiergod of third strike?
He already was and has been for the past 7 years
Just looks like a circlejerk to me. The two I mentioned at least have a real Encyclopedia Dramatica page, as opposed to some cringeworthy blogspot post.
this has all reminded me why i donât bother coming here anymore.
same here.
So you never got back to me. Do you play lol or dota? Maybe some other steam game?
Got any help to not rage? I donât know, SF4 donât get me this mad. Fought a makoto who was excellent but being placed in a position where you canât do anything and all your options are unavailable. That, thatâs where it gets frustrating.
Iâm on PSN but damn, when youâre stuck and getting an ass whooping on a regular? Need to chill more. Trying to get back on xbox 360.
So you kinda just have to go in to the online setting with an understanding that not everything is going to work as it should, youâre going to lose to stuff you shouldnât, and your focus should be on improving and experience and not so much on winning.
If a Makoto is pushing your shit in that hard, you need to save those replays and watch them over again to see what youâre doing wrong. If you canât come up with answers or solutions on your own, post them in the online videos thread and ask for help. Try to explain as best you can what youâre having trouble with and hopefully youâll get some worthwhile answers.
Try not to give any fucks about winning or losing online and youâll have a much better time.
I agree that you shouldnât really care about winning, but I think that should be applied to both offline and online play.
Third Strike is about making decisions, and sometimes, you are going to make bad decisions, and you will lose. If someone is remotely on your level, youâre probably going to lose, eventually. If youâre constantly winning, Iâd argue that youâre missing the point of Third Strike. I want somebody to push my mind, I want to make adjustments, I want my habits to be punished, I want to improve.
Iâve been playing online for close to 6 or 7 years now, and I never felt like the game wasnât working as it should. If you have someone thatâs directly wired on a good connection, youâre pretty much only dealing with delay. The funny thing about online is that thereâs this big misconception that online drops inputs, which is true, on a terrible connection against someone that is on wireless, yeah, youâll probably drop inputs. However, thatâs rarely the case, the most common reason your inputs fail is because there is delay, and you havenât adjusted.
I have no problem reacting to the likes of dashes, uoh and overhead moves. With the caveat that Iâm playing someone that is on a good connection, and with decent ping. Which comes my next point, pick your fucking opponents, please, guys.
If youâre sitting on 3SOE playing ranked, hoping you donât get matched up against someone in Africa, youâre doing it all wrong. **Find someone thatâs relatively close, that isnât on wireless and can push you mentally. Continue to find these kind of players and exclusively play them. **
I see a lot of guys come online and play somebody that kills them with âbullshitâ or âonlineâ tactics, and then they leave and write offline off. If the game actually isnât laggy, that means you have no idea what to do against an opponent that is playing wild, and thatâs something you need to work on. If youâd rather not, and would rather fight someone that doesnât play like that, you donât have to ever play that person again. Thatâs the beauty of online, you can choose who you play.
Losing to something âyou shouldnât lose toâ because itâs online is kind of a cop out in my opinion. Obviously if the game is a laggy mess, youâre going to get hit by things you shouldnât get hit by, and that begs the question; why are you even playing this guy?
Iâve lost to a ton of people online, and Iâve played a handful of them offline. The things they hit me with online, well, they still hit me with that shit offline, too.
Start using kara versions of moves to offset the spacing and get them to waste or misuse their particular counter measure.
Metric- While I agree with a lot of what you said, online isnât 3s and it never will be. Anything that limits ones ability to react noticeably changes the game.
Kenji- 3s is a game that you always have options. From the sounds of it you need to sit down and figure out what your options are in every given situation.
The timing is very slow on arcade. So you have more time to multitask.
You can go for
A (looking for any whiffs to punish) and
B (jump back tech on opponent jump in) and also be able to
C throw tech on opponent dash in. (last thing youâre looking for, but still possible to tech on last few of the 6 frames)
Online? A lot of guessing on all the options.
I never seem to have any trouble reacting to dashes and jumps whilst looking for whiff opportunities. Look at someone like Exo, he anti-airs 10/10 while maintaining his ground game.
I agree though, arcade is slower, but there really isnât any reason to compare online with offline.
You arenât the first to say something like that, and it still doesnât make any sense to me.
Iâve played a ton of offline Third Strike, and playing online⌠well, it still feels like Third Strike.
Obviously itâs not going to be the same, youâre playing the game through an internet connection, itâs going to be different. Itâs not offline Third Strike, but it definitely is Third Strike. I can still make reads, fish, parry, confirm, footsie, combo, etc. The core elements are all there, some things may be a little harder to react to, but itâs all possible.
Iâm not going to sit here and pretend like online is something special and everybody is crazy for thinking itâs a terrible platform to play the game on. However, I donât think itâs as bad as a lot of people make it out to be.
But hey, if you want to be an offline purist, and never touch online Third Strike because it isnât really Third Strike, by all means.
I think you need an offline wake up call man.
Online feels like you are playing through an emulator, yes. Feels like flying a plane, in a flight simulator maybe.
But that doesnât mean people cannot still âplayâ 3S online. Not to mention its still great for learning the game (mechanics, match ups, much more) and getting matches in against real human beings, for FREE.
Itâs a totally different animal to âreal 3sâ. But if online is the only medium of âplayingâ 3S for some people, then fine. It doesnât mean people canât still have fun playing this âdifferent gameâ called online 3S. As metric said, elements like parry and footsies are still there.
Having said that, anyone who is serious about the game should go play offline.
And hereâs why it will never change. Someone always brings up the argument that its free and thus should not be questioned.
But what if that horse tosses me off its back because its sick and I didnât bother to make sure it was in proper health?
Says the guy who was told not to look a gift horse in the mouth. Why? Because youâll get sick too, stupid!
Haha donât get me wrong. I am just saying people donât need to spend all their quarters in the online world.
Me not wanting to spend yet another dollar more than my allocated budget is the reason why I care about winning or losing at the arcade.
Nevermind, going to retire from these boards again, forgot that this is just an endless cycle of people who hate online and people who donât.
Carry on with the far more entertaining and productive act of ganging up on Louie.
Yuuki and Metric. You guys are best friends man. What happened?
I think itâs better to discuss things and compare thoughts. If everyone stops posting because of disagreements then SRK 3s will quickly have no discussion. And I much prefer SRK to other mediums of English language discussion. Itâs important that 3s community doesnât turn into fragmented sections that donât talk or play with each other.
Reasonable people can disagree. Letâs have the conversations.
