It’s your job to disagree with me. As in you make money and are given great respect for your position as it stands against anyone that says what I said above.
My point is that these guys are going to hold his hand way too much and tell him stuff he doesn’t need someone telling him. The obvious shit. You phrased your comment so that I can’t say anything along the lines of what I would normally say without hitting a bunch of walls.
Strong players will not help you.
Yuuki
I don’t know how strong he is but I do know he has a backing of the entire online community behind him so him simply speaking at you is enough to blow the smoke out of your ears rather than in. But that doesn’t mean that what he gives is anything one couldn’t find learning on their own.
5star
would not help unless you showed up at Don’s.
Boiler super heroes
there would be way too many political factors and language barriers. None of that, they would say. But if you asked for specifics, they’d look at you like, "didn’t I just say none of that?"
Pyro
would help as far as you could hope to learn from his play. He’s not there to hold your hand. That’s how he stays strong. Though he does have some strong advice as far as what you’re doing wrong. Usually in a very tongue in cheek manner, much like myself. I won’t post here anymore, so don’t look at me for that.
Me:
You could find me at Don’s and pay for my entry fee and I’d spend all night teaching you what I could.
Most others will not ask for much excepting a bit of yourself. Which is vague but usually payable in some form of adequate respect i.e. You let them talk down to you like a little baby dummy scrub and then when you get good you still suck because it’s you and not them who has been here forever.
I’ll go down the list with the players here cause fuck it why not:
Duralath:
He’ll teach you but he’s like buddhist ( probably karate or tae kwon do, though ) or something so everything will be phrased in a way that pretty much blocks out all coherent discussion ( stance, only way ) in some way or another. To pull out of it or to even attempt it will have you met with either some pull away from the focus of the topic to some popular notion that will carry you well among your peers here at the illustrious 3rd strike roach motel or you’ll forget what you wanted to say through some tangent that touches on everything, by generality, but gives no real input, detail or specific stance on his own manner of approach. This is how they win. Whether it’s his own turn to speak or anothers, you won’t get a word in edgewise. If it’s not because the logic is unfounded, it’s because you lack compassion to fit in with the community. Or something about evolution.
No one said learn this game in silence. I said get gud by the merit of your own drive. Something along the lines of “You are now as good as you thought you could be. Try out the community at this point.”, “Now, can you get better?” I.E. Continue?
ryan:
Will tell you to watch videos and hit up training mode. Sometimes he’ll tell you that you should just block. Other times he’ll tell you to pick a good character and don’t hold yourself back by some code of honor. I think honor is a pretty nifty notion to hold yourself to. Builds character or something. Sometimes he’ll share a specific skill. Sounds like he’s vying for specific set ups most of the time because speaking up in deference to what he says will usually have him grasping at social straws when his croneys jump in and start attacking your character. I haven’t learned a single set up in this game so maybe he’s on to something. I hear he’s won tournaments in Japan. Something even the best players here in the states haven’t been able to do.
darkhiryuu:
idk who he is but if he’s a ggpo player, they are all stuck on a certain impulse pattern as found in direct connection algorithms. Try it out for yourself at Don’s sometime and see how stupid you feel by the end of the night.
IglooBob:
Plays chun so that means you’re up against all odds and he’s still playing the same wind up 30 matches in. Lives in Alaska. Might have a lot to say about how shitty my play can be but in my defense I was still figuring out the kinks. Funny enough, the election results have left my ears feeling great. My eyes too.
JAK:
One of yuuki’s croneys. Outside of that…I guess he googles stuff for you sometimes?
Tebbo:
Says he doesn’t do much but compile lists that people will ignore. Outside of that, will probably lul you into a false sense of security and then make attempts out of there. But ultimately will not bring the fight, instead will wait for opportune moments and loop at you with ggpo style tactics.
Illitirit:
Probably can’t read.
aku:
He’s popular here but runs on hype. Don’t know how much you like playing the “jump at me so I can parry and get more hype” game.
Devdan:
I hear he’s in Japan but if I read correctly, he’s only still an intermediate player. But in Japan, even the scrubs put in the time to learn the whole game as it should be played, rather than only learning key set ups.
Ryu24:
I think he’s one of the ggpo players that thinks himself a doujin. So he’ll play you well but once you lose, he will ruminate behind the screen, make sure no ones talking shit on the chat and then leave half way through.
TizToz:
idk but nice boobs
Makaveli:
Another one of the ggpo specialists. I don’t recall anything with him except that maybe he played akuma and left after a short streak left him feeling a bit undermined.
NicaKO:
Probably one lesson. Unless you watch his stream and hound him for tactics but just the same he plays on ggpo and will usually run some kind of noise pattern. A lot of the newer players are doing this kind of thing. I think it has something to do with stuff south of the border. And other with the Way. You wouldn’t believe how many people take to hormone streaming, voltammetry.
There might be more but I can’t be bothered to look through this css with its js mouse cursor games.
