Strange, i use Chrome too and i keep seeing supposedly ignored content, both at work and at home.
Same with Firefox btw.
ReNiC is hella strong, especially when drunk.
Weird. When I add someone to ignore. It ignores all of their posts and even the quoted part of their post(s) and I have a grayed out button on the bottom of the page saying ‘Show Ignored Content’ that I can toggle.
Honestly, I think a lot of players use the “its online” as a crutch or an excuse to why they can’t compete SOMETIMES. I understand there are differences. I do, but sometimes people need to let go of their ego and accept losses or the fact that someone is better than them.
That said, and I’ll repeat that I know there are differences, but the guy you’re facing has to deal with those differences too. It’s not like he’s playing as if its offline and you’re the only one hindered.
The game doesn’t always play retarded online, players play retarded online. If you come across a guy that actually knows how to play, don’t blame online; blame yourself.
And before you troll me, I know I suck at this game. You don’t have to remind me.
You make a decent point Waggs but in my experience 3rd Strike (low lag/offline) rewards smart play and punishes stupid play. If I face someone in a lagless situation and get beat then I might be dejected but I know it was my own fault that I lost. Too many times on XBL when I lose to a player who clearly doesn’t know shit about how to play properly I just wanna fucking axe kick my Xbox. Feel so damn cheated.
My own fault for playing online, bla bla bla, I know.
I understand where you’re coming from. I just think there is a fine line. Say you beat my ass online, and then I remark that you have zero credibility because you (1) didn’t play me offline and (2) don’t play in tournaments or what have you. I think a remark like that is only shooting yourself in the foot. I know you’re a good player online or offline, so why is it deemphasized when you beat me online in contrast to offline. Am I making any sense?
Saying “if you beat me 10 - 0 offline, I’d say you’re good” is not a valid reason. Is winning 10-0 much different from winning 10-5? Winning is winning and losing is losing as I see it. Wherever it may be.
Apart from that–I understand the stupid play involved. I’m thinking along the lines of two players that have an idea of how to play, but once one person loses, they retreat to the cliche “it’s online.”
Again, I really can’t say that I’m a great player or even mediocre, but I will say that to outright discredit online play is silly.
Online play is and always will be shit. I don’t know how people can’t realize that. Playing online means you are not playing the real game. You know 60 fps, 0 frames delay, 0 frame input lag. And yes there is a huge difference between 0 and 1 when it comes to 3rd strike.
Until about a month ago I used to play offline 5 hours a day with some friends who are really good and passionate about the game. Long story short we stopped playing and can only do it on weekends for a couple of hours. So I started playing online more often. Online makes me change the way which I play this game drastically.
I use Gouki so making a mistake is not an option. Playing offline I’m used to reacting to players the moment they try something. But when you have even 1 frame delay when for example dudley jumps in you have to react before his jump animation otherwise its too late.
The parry timing and going back and forth between offline and online is shit on a stick.
Someone jumps and tries to hit you with fierce or roundhouse from the air which never works offline. Offline you see the start up animation of the air hit and you parry its simple. Online you have to guess when they are going to press the button,
if you try to do it as they are doing the hit you get hit like the idiot you are for playing online.
Online play is literally “Fight for the Future”. Most of the players I have played online don’t even realize that they are not playing the real game and trying 50% of the stuff which they use online will mean their utter defeat, which is sad.
What I mean to say is playing online will teach you to play the game the wrong way and if you have already played for a long time it can only degrade your game not improve it.
while online 3S sucks and those two things are just never going to go great together no matter what, i agree there are scrubs out there using “hey everybody look at me, online sucks” as a scapegoat for their losses or outlet for their attitude problems. if you’re getting pissed about losses and accusing people of abusing lag, that means you care about online. and if you care about online that much, you aren’t good.
our agreement ends there though. discrediting online play is fine (since it sucks), but don’t go throwing a tantrum because you can’t handle what happens online. nobody cares.
You make a decent point but it really depends on ***how ***you win. For example: Artayes.
I play all the time. I like to mix my game up. I like to not do the same things over and over. I like to win in heavy competition. I like giving new players a win or two to make them feel better about themselves. I like learning new things and getting better, losing a match or two isn’t as important.
I love online and offline. There is little to no difference to me as they are to you guys.
maybe I figured it out. my nickname in Miami/Ft Lauderdale was the Borg. I play both online and offline very well, but I live and breathe 3S and have been playing fighting games in various circumstances and situations for many years over.
I think some of you just have problems making any sort of adjustments, no matter how minute they are. either because of short-gaming experience history or just not good at improving.
there is little to no difference in offline/online 3s, as long as you and the opponent have good connections.
and don’t listen to those talking shit on OE yet praising GGPO on computer. they are both equal in terms of connectivity. it really all depends on you and your opponent’s connection.
and stop worrying about winning and losing so much. concentrate on IMPROVING your game. I do everyday.
is there a way to map directions to dpad AND analog on ggpo? i switch my thumb from analog to dpad on my pad whenever I want to parry something specific and I do it out of hardcore habit so it’s fucking hard to stop.
online 3s is not the same game as offline 3s. offline is a better and smarter game.
that said I don’t have a problem with online play so long as you accept the terms of engagement going in. people are gonna do dumb stuff, they’re gonna mash srk in places it shouldn’t work, whatever. you’ll lose to dumb shit sometimes. that’s just the price of playing online. if you decide to play in those conditions you can’t get mad when you lose to dumb stuff. I’d rather just play offline whenever I can but if I go online and lose to somebody worse than me, hey it happens.
and on the flip side, I can find a bunch of people better than me from throughout the country and play them. it won’t mean anything or be as good as offline but there’s still a good chance I can figure something out and get better by playing them. so there’s positives for sure.
one bad thing that can come out of online is that you start doing stuff you wouldn’t get away with offline. you really gotta police yourself on that. I know I start throwing out random shit sometimes and gotta stop myself and be like “quit being retarded.”
That’s put kind of in a funny way if you’d know even cab 3s has 4 frames of input lag. But I know what you mean, additional coming from emulation and such.
Thought only st cabs were tested for that.
AFAIK it’s just an assumption everyone made. like “ST cabs have 4 frames of lag, 3SOE has 4 frames of lag on both consoles offline, seems reasonable to assume arcade 3s has 4 frames until someone proves otherwise.”
that was the sense I got from reading the 3SOE lag testing topic anyway.
I agree with metric. nothing but bads complaining. the same people who arent even strong offline and only play their shitty local competition to make themselves feel legit.
Also, quite a few strong players have leveled up from strictly online, youre kidding yourselves if you think you wouldnt get bodied by them “offline”, looking at louis, tebbo, sesshaZL
edit: losing to jungle or gimmicks isnt strictly the blame of “online”, its because youre bad to begin with
^
Say’s the guy who **only **plays online.
to be fair its way harder to adjust to jungle playstyle online imo.
Yang is top tier online
it’s hard to tech throws online so you want to work on a matchup online where you’re going to get kara-thrown? also you can’t parry a jump-in but you still end up playing 20+ games? i don’t know dude…
