A) First of all, I don’t see this as rude at all. In fact I do this myself, but if a stranger came up and talked to you, you should still be respectful. It’s just being polite.
B) Once again just be polite, if you don’t think your deserving just say thanks. Accept the compliment, but keep practicing until you feel like you deserve it. Just cause you think you don’t deserve it doesn’t mean you can’t be polite.
just ignore the message online? its not that hard. Most of the time I get a GG message is when someone just won the game by spazzing out some random shit which got them a win.
Salad fork, soup spoon, dessert spoon. In that order.
Pshhhh
Don’t even, Bronzefist, lol. You’re worse than me when it comes to this! I’ve told you countless times that your Gen is solid and you keep saying he’s trash, lol.
I’ve never told you (or anybody else for that matter) that you just got your ass served. I also wouldn’t have said anything about a money match. As if I have $500 or the money to even attend Evo.
Riiiiight…lol.
So if you don’t want people to say anything about work you’re not happy or satisified with, then why show off your work at all? (refering to Anime Music Videos)
You can watch something and not say anything about it, lol. I mean, I don’t talk to every person I’ve ever had a good fight with. I might think to myself, “Man, that was kind of crazy”, but does that mean I have to say it to the other person? No, not really.
hahahaha dude my Gen sucks and that’s the truth. It’s been proven by science. I use flow chart stuff with him. It’s just that non-Gen players dont notice.
But DONT GO BACK on your story. We all know you’re a wolf in sheep’s clothing. You wouldn’t even bring the $500 to the money match because you’re so sure of yourself. Why bring it when you’re going to win? That’s confidence! 
Nah but seriously if someone is giving you compliments just say “thx for the game/set cyas around,” “thx dude cyas” or something. If you come off of a set where the opponent destroys you then tell him “good shit w/ (insert character)” or whatever. You dont have to directly say gg if you dont believe it. However you should definitely continue to challenge people to money matches, or make excuses about lag. That how you step your game up to the pro level. :china:
Well, taken in that context, what you said makes sense. But what I was referring to is a situation like…
Two acquaintances are hanging out, and one of them says “Hey, listen to this song I made up on the piano.” That person plays the song live while the other one listens. If the listener just stands up and walks away after the other person is done playing the song without saying anything, that would be really rude.
Well, I stated this earlier:
I don’t have a problem at all with accepting what they have to say about my performance if I ask for their opinion on it. I’ve asked plenty of people, “What can I do to improve my Sakura? Pointing out any flaws would be much appreciated”, but I just don’t like it when some people just randomly throw their opinions at you and start making you out to be some great player, lol. Sakura is pretty rare online (not more rare than Gen though :P), so when someone comes across me who is totally inexperienced and makes a comment after the match like, “Great Sak!”, my usual response is:
“Nah, I’m not that good. You probably only think that because you don’t see many online, so there’s not much to compare it to :P”
I mean, really, it’s true though. If you’ve only met two Sakura players and one of them played like they were new, but the other played with experience…that doesn’t mean the other one is, “great” or something. It just means they are the best you have seen so far, so that’s another reason I don’t really accept compliments like that. If they had fought hundreds of Sakura players, then said I was, “great”, then maybe I’d be more willing, but as it is…I was just called, “great” because of their inexperience against the character, lol.
That’s the thing though. In the situation I noted above, even if the person playing the song does not ask for an opinion, if the listener does not say anything and just stands up without a word, it would be very rude.
Dude I figured out the problem. It’s not your attitude. It’s that damn keyboard you have plugged into your PS3. Unplug that shit when you play SF4 and you wont feel compelled to type such long winded responses. You will be perfectly happy typing “gg” or some other response no larger than 10 characters. If you were using a control pad/stick you would quit halfway through the above quote.
See I just solved your problem! I’ll stop trolling your thread now too. :lol:
Man, people always hate when I type such long responses on PSN, lol. They probably get upset when I flood the chat with paragraphs too @_@
this is actually a legitimate response
Keep it short, sweet and Humble.
“Thanks man, Good Game!”
I haven’t read the only responses only your post tc but yea I can feel for you since i’ve had the same problem though not only in fighting games. I’m not so great at taking compliments, i’ve worn shirts and people be like that’s a really awesome shirt or had times when i’ve been sick and people are like I really hope everything goes ok for you and i’m just like really shyly “thank you”. I think as far as dealing with people online I usually say just like Thank you, good game or something short and easy. I think as far as real life goes stuff like tone of voice and how you act when they say it comes into play so just try to confidently say “thank you” without being shy or seeming like an asshole. You could also be like “Well thanks, you were also pretty good” or something like that.
Glad to see someone can relate, lol. I’m pretty shy around most people unless I’ve known them for a while. It’s a whole different story when it comes to online though.
Hell, most of my friends I met online I actually introduced myself first. That’s something I would never do offline. I also feel I can be more open when I talk to people online when I’m not near as chatty in person.
As for the most recent incident though, it was a couple of days ago. My hair was getting pretty long (past the shoulders), so I finally decided to get a haircut since it was getting bothersome (hate it in front of my eyes all the damn time, lol). So, I get it cut, then visit one of my family members later that day and she says, “Oh. I see you finally got yourself a haircut. That’s a good lookin’ one too” and I was just like, “Uhhh…I guess. It’s just a haircut”.
It just kind of feels like some people say nice things because they feel like they have to. I think a lot of people do actually feel that way also, no thanks to parts of society corrupting people through use of religion or some other method to cause fear among people in order to make them blindly follow an, “unwritten rule”. Kind of like how I don’t really feel the need (or see a reason) to say, “good morning” to a colleague or co-worker.
However…due to these, “unwritten rules” if you don’t say, “good morning” then it’s generally considered to be, “socially unacceptable” and “rude” behavior. I can’t tell you how many arguments I’ve had with family members, friends, psychologists, teachers, etc. over the years about stuff like that and I end up looking like the, “bad guy” just because I don’t generally talk with people I don’t know.
Another good thing is to hold your Joystick or Controller with your pinky up, it shows class.
This has nothing to do with fighting games.
OP, seriously get out more, and interact with living people. Unneeded pressure is put on you from someone complimenting your game? smells like bullshit. Says thanks, and thats how you take a compliment. You dont even need to fucking believe it.
My approach is simple: Be a humble winner and a gracious loser. This is easier in real life than online but I still stick to it. When I get hate mail for winning, I usually respond back with an explanation of why I won, advice on how to improve and suggest that instead of counterproductive messages they should reevaluate their game. This has gotten me several apologies or some other positive response. I rarely send out GG messages anymore as those appear to invite hate mail.
Oh go back to the sewer where you came from, troll. I know exactly who you are and exactly what you like to do, and you’re not going to start that shit here like you’ve already done a while back on 8WR, so just stay out of this thread, alright? I believe it does have to do with fighting games and it certainly isn’t bullshit.
How can you seriously say that the way someone feels about a particular matter is, “bullshit” ? That’s not for you to decide, now is it? No. It would be like if you said, “Man, I think I did pretty good all things considered!” after I just watched you get curbstomped, then said, “That’s bullshit”.
So yeah, just knock it off. Seriously.
Anyway, I’ve been taking fighting games a bit more seriously (not in terms of rage or anything like that, but competitively speaking) as of recently and I’d just like to know the proper mannerisms to use when interacting with other players since apparently what I’m doing doesn’t fly with a lot of players, so I don’t have many friends that play fighting games with me. I just don’t want to end up quitting another game because more people start complimenting me and making me feel really uncomfortable, as if I have to live up to these expectations I haven’t even met for myself yet.
It’s like trying to climb to the top of Mt.Everest and getting halfway to the top, and someone telling you, “You’re doing great! You’re almost there!”. I would just be like, “What?! I’m not even close!” cause it would feel like they are giving me more credit to help boost my confidence or something. Anyway, I had a friend tell me recently that unless I change this mentality, I’m not going to last long in the scene (which I pretty much knew was already true), so here I am 
I’ll worry about focusing on, “getting out more” and “interacting with living people” as that comes along, but for right now, video games are my main thing (fighters in particular) and I’d like to just take this one step at a time. Oh, and please spare me the, “your priorities are out of order” lecture just because I like playing video games more than getting out and talking with the Average Joe. I’ve been gaming for 20 years and it’s just an important part of my life, plus it’s how I’ve identified myself for a looooooooooong time.
So, basically…if there’s trouble in paradise, then this is where I need to fix the mentality first. The rest will fall in place like it always does, lol. I’d just like to thank those again who have provided help with this complex, yet simple, problem of mine.
Hopefully by the time all of this is over, I’ll have become a better person in general too. Who knows
