Good sportsmen to the last, I expect nothing more.
Well I personally have never felt that someone actively didn’t want me playing SF4. I mean I’ll call my friends scrubs all the time and shit talk to them. But I would never call someone worse at a game then I am, who I don’t know, a scrub. I don’t want to discourage people from playing the games I like, the more the merrier.
Damn, I wanted to start a conversation about an idea I had for getting more people to play the more unplay’d games at UFO, not “who is a meanie and his is not”.
Dose anyone else think some sort of help the newbs/actively encourage them to play the harder-to-get-into games at UFO event would be a good idea?
I do!
lol shut up adam.
ROFL_Bot, who exactly is yelling at you across the machine when you play BB?
I’ve never ever seen this happen on any of the games, and I’m literally there like every night
The only times I’ve seen something like this was people who knew each other joking around
Obviously it’s me because who else does that while playing BB?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!? At the end of the day, it’s still Arcade UFO, not Daycare UFO. Ain’t no obligation to play nice, especially if the other guy doesn’t even bother to talk to you. You ain’t gonna talk to me, that’s fine, don’t cry about it if I’m gonna talk to you over the cabinet, scrub.
Yo real talk if you’re “discouraged” by someone calling you a scrub instead of getting fired up to get better and prove that you aren’t a scrub, you’re a scrub. You get styled on and show no improvement after like 5 months and are still just mashing buttons to do like one move, of course people are going to keep calling you a scrub. That’s just how it goes.
I’d be totally down for “help the newbies” events, except for the fact that pretty much every new player who is actually serious about getting better has asked for help already. I don’t count “hey I put in a few credits, lost to the CPU and/or every person I ever played, then never bothered to ask even for like a basic combo or something before I went to lose at SF4 instead” as being serious about getting into a game, and that’s essentially the crowd that these events would be catering to.
Honestly the best way to get better, other than just playing with good players, is to plug yourself into the community for that game. Even just standing/sitting around a couple of better players as they talk strats or whatever is better than showing up, mindlessly grinding for an hour, then leaving without talking to anybody. If people aren’t going to put in effort to be part of the community at UFO, I don’t see why there should be some community effort to make them slightly less terrible at a game they don’t care that much about.
SF players just talk shit behind your back or at minimum think it. At least Jeff has the courtesy to let you know. Just use it to drive you to become better or don’t. It’s up to you really.
I like to yell at Viet (gonna get in his head) =/
Ok I’m sorry. Is that what you want to hear. Sorry I’m a scrub. Sorry for offending you by implying that you may be one of the reasons I quit those games. I was just trying to share my opion, not directly at you because you obviously don’t care. I just thought maybe it would bring more money to the arcade. Not more “great players” just more money.
Honestly, I’d pay like $20 to have folks help me learn how to reliably pull off links in SF4. I try at home and it’s really not helping (because I don’t learn shit in a vacuum), and I can do okay at UFO but then I face somebody like viet and the gulf of skill is so damned intimidating.
It’s not like I don’t have the passion, I just plain don’t have a ton of time to sit and practice on my own (starting my own game dev company kinda trashes most of my time). I’d pay a similar amount to learn how to not suck as Tager in BB. I enjoy the game, but it feels so obtuse and hard to learn to me. I don’t even really care about win/loss or shit talk, I just plain don’t get the system but it’s popular amongst some friends and I’d like to not suck.
I guess what I’m saying is if you get hostile you lose new players, and that’s what kills a scene. Every game needs new blood, and being a hostile assclown to new players gives them a pretty major incentive not to come back. Sure, if a scrub is flowcharting it and bragging or some shit, go crazy, but getting all offended at new players sucking is pretty goddamn stupid.
Wait… I’m confused.
Why do people think no one helps each other at Arcade UFO? And I’m also reading that there should be some kind of event as well? I’m a bit offended by this!
We all try to help every scene and introduce new people to each game all the time. Why do you think we get random players come out of the wood work and get so good all the time? It’s normal for the A UFO scene to all help each other out and try to surpass those who are better, we encourage the weaker players to get better than the top ones right now. It has always been like this, I don’t think it will ever change seeing as how that’s what makes Austin… well Austin.
The only people who think otherwise are the anti-social group, seriously.
QFT
$20.00 to help you learn how to p-link. I’m down, hit me up. ;p
whos tokimonsta?
how come Im not aware of a fellow toker that goes to the ufo 
I want to go to the UFO :sad:
I cant go until tomorrow night
Ken is still really fun,fuck ryu
Im glad he’s still mid on super
I’m not trying to say that no one at ufo helps each other out. All I’m trying to say is that an advertised event devoted to it might help, maybe. I didn’t mean to offend anyone.
YO ALL I DO IS PLAY BLAZED BLUE.
And I’m saying you don’t need an event. Just fucking ask people to help you. The top players for MB/AH3/BB/Gundam are practically the same people anyways.
MB - Kenneth / Jeff
AH3 - Kenneth / Pozer
BB - Kenneth / Jeff / Pozer / Markus
Gundam - Kenneth / Jeff
You see a trend here? And btw these are the people who I feel are the best at the game and have the most understanding of the mechanics. There are plenty of other people good at the game that are willing to help (Like Markus and Pozer are both good at Gundam and willing to help, Markus and Jeff are both good at Arcana etc, etc but it’s still pretty much the same people LOL). All people have to do is ask for help and they’ll get it. No one turns down people who ask for help.
So instead of waiting for a “NOOB EVENT” you can get HELP RIGHT NOW by talking to people who are good at the game. IMAGINE THAT?
Trash talkin in austin hmmm thats new 
the hell you talking about
Also real talk, even though I suck balls at Gundam I understand at least the basics or better of every fighting game we carry. I’m not pro at every single title but obviously I’m no pushover, either. Also, even if I don’t know jack about your character remember I read Japanese so I can read stuff from Wikis and/or guides on the spot. We also carry Japan’s Arcadia Magazine every month which always includes the newest tactics for all the current arcade games. Usually the information from these guides is enough to understand the game’s or your character’s basic strategies.
I like to think a lot of people got awesome at games with my help!
Oh yeah, forgot about Ryan. Haven’t seen you around in a long time, you slipped my mind. What he says is truth, I remember Ryan reading and explaining to me a whole section in Arcadia on Arcana thoroughly. More help than I expected and greatly appreciated, and he has always given advice when I asked him.
Hah they probably talk trash about Sa behind our backs lol when we are saying they are all cool cats to talk to real talk !!!
