well i was catching alot of slack in team battles yesterday, at first everyone was cool, but after i ocv’d everybody, the host made the game 7on1 and i still took everyone out, i even switched to dan and they were still talking shit… yes i like to zone with fireballs, and if you’re by me chances are you’re gonna get thrown lol i was like are these dudes serious? one guy got like 1 good combo on me with bison and wouldn’t shuttup about it… from the spectator screen LOL :rock:
I’ve never said i was good at sf4 anytime, im still trying to learn the game but i can get by with my old school tactics which include fireball, fireball, uppercut lol
i don’t know man
today at HBB
i dropped by for 1 game
a dude came to me and asked me
Dude: "you want challenge or you wanna beat the game?"
Me: "you can challenge me"
30 seconds after…
Dude: “never faught a fuerte like that, fucking cheated” and he walked away
Me: thinking… “arrrr… i just want to lose beautifully”
If I land some great combo or hard links then I don’t really care if I lose or not.
Most of my excitement comes from the match being memorable with stuff that I was able to pull of at the moment.
Even losing to stuff that looks hardcore makes me feel better than losing to throw spam and people playing it safe (turtling).
Sf4 obviously encourages the play to win faction because you aren’t rewarded for doing long combos and flash. Thats when I turn to Vf5 and blazblue for my most memorable games.
more and more casuals just leave w/o fist bump after losing at HBB, even if i get up and go to them they just start walking away without even looking at me.
of course the better players always respek knuckles.
I just always smile, say a word or two and be on my way if im outta coins.
lol @ bleed’s story, did you rsf or splash him to death?
Er, who cares about playing against randoms? My complaint for the scene right now is that people need to be slightly more pessimistic about their skill level.
Hehe, after I played you yesterday I thought the same thing! j/k … I really wished I could have played another game with you but our table was ready and my friend was antsy. hehehe.
Thas some real talk right there.I also notice that players seem to single out other players because they don’t meet “standards”, meaning skill level. I mean seriously, what good is a scene if players are singled-out? Some players may be “free” but the point of a “scene” is to come together so everyone gets better, not fcuk’n picking the cream of the crop so a single player or a small group becomes elite. I have noticed these things at “community events” where a small group of players only talk to others and not even acknowledge other players. It’s bull sh*t.
Reality sucks, but that’s the way the cookie crumbles. You make it sound like the “elite” players need to go and approach every person who plays. If the “un-acknowledged” people want to level up their game tell those people go talk to the “elite” players and ask for tips. It’s not like you’re asking these guys out for dates (maybe), just go up and talk to them like wtf. If scrubs want to level up, it’s not going to be handed to them on a silver platter. It’s not like the “elite” have bodyguards or shit like that (well except me, I got bodyguards), like what’s so hard about asking questions, applying it, and learning. It’s not “elite” player’s job to talk to randoms. They don’t know whether the scrub is serious in getting better or just playing to burn time or just want to hear cody go heh hah. You make it sound like it’s hard for people to start a conversation, it’s nobody’s fault that the “scrub” can’t make friends. People can holla at me, but got to go through my bodyguards.
@ DanHibiki … makes some good points there though… in reality, there IS a totem pole of sorts, everybody knows who the top level players are and its no secret, but everybody’s pretty cool and will answer questions and give suggestions if you ask. The time will come when players will have to choose to stay on that casual level or step up their game, and it usually comes right after quite a few ass whoopings to realize… “damn im tired of being free” …
but yea, people cant read minds, if you got questions, most ppl are happy to answer them…
It may not be their job but if someone intends on building or improving such a scene, players should give some feedback and up to the struggling player whether he/she can apply and learn it. It seems to me that no one does that, like if a random loses big time, you never see any elite players or even experienced players go to that person and provide some feedback. You just see players go to their cliques and just talk amongst themselves. I’ve seen cliques talk about how player-a could be better within their little group and not tell player-a up front. It’s like keeping information so if ever player-a plays against a member of a certain clique, its a free win because their using that information against him instead of helping him. Obviously nothing is handed in a silver platter but players new to the scene and even those who have trouble need to start somewhere.
Also, no one would dare to mess with your bodyguards.
Actually Eric, I thought someone did try to ask me out. I had one experience where I met a guy named Kyle, (not dagger_G), who gave me a bad first impression at the HVGL tourney. First thing he asks me is “What’s your name?” Second thing, “What’s your number?” WTF. I played a few games with him and tried giving him a few basic tip such as stop waking up. He just replied with “oh, ok i just gotta stop waking up” and proceeded to srk on wakeup the next few rounds. I gave up talking to him after that.
I’m down to talk to anyone as long as you don’t ask for my number immediately.
i know that kyle, he does that alot, he’s autistic so dont mind him, he wants to get better and is trying, he comes to Mugat2’s sessions once in a while
Hey guys, I have a crush on this girl that played ken in SF4 and plays Juri in SSF4. She look vietnamese and has like long hair. I see her at Brian’s sometimes hanging out with Royce. I think her name is Shujinkol, I was wondering should I ask her out or what? I hope my bodyguards don’t intimidate her! Is asking for her name then her number the right approach?
Philosophical or not, people have lives, other things to attend to. People who want help with anything need to speak up and not expect to be spoon fed. This is interesting because people don’t communicate enough and this goes beyond Street Fighter. If there’s something that’s bothering you, speak up and let others know what’s bothering you. It’s always good to have fresh eyes on the problem you’re trying to solve.
Bottom line is this – Don’t criticize better players for not helping when you don’t even attempt to ask them for help.
