Giving up streetfighter

SF = Crack
after making my way out of G3 and all the crazy shit that drive me crazy (spammers)
i finaly get to G2 … 1st match i get Akuma and this dude was jumping back Air FB hit groud FB same again and again . WOOOOOOOOOOW … anyways … got better matches after but yeah G2 is how can i say … even more adictive because now i gotta play smarter most people take it easy and play with strategy something you didnt see often in G3 … i gotta take a breake from this shit thank god im going to cuba for a week gonna feel so good to put SF4 on the side …

I came from WoW to SF4, so I can say that even tho i’m addicted, I have now a lot of free time.

If you think SF4 makes you a no-life, don’t ever try to play a MMORPG.

And yes, lag wins matches specially for Kens and Zangiefs, so don’t give up SF4, give up online play, or just play ppl with 3+ bars, and go to arcades if your region have any

That’s when input lag screws you and you get another Ken’s FP in your face. Playing Dhalsim? too bad! there goes 1/4 of your life.
I can punish whiffed offline DPs all the time with back+mk and light yoga flame. Online it’s a different history

I’d like to hear your explanation of one sided lag / delay.

The only problem with that is that it’s not. :looney:

no im not. seriously i didnt even read your post cos you obviously havent read any of mine properly. im not looking for tips for that last time…

and at the mo im playing like 1-2 hours a day of this game. some days i dont play at all. and i never said im quitting. im playing it less is all.

There is a slight misconception here.

If you have been playing 90% online and 10% offline (or at Arcade), you cannot blame on the lag because after a few hundred games, you WOULD HAVE got used to fighting online, same as the person on the other side of the computer.

and yes thank you someone who seems to understand that im not asking for help in any way, shape or form. just posted a couple of examples that annoyed me when i lost is all.

personally im planning on playing through Earthbound on the SNES iv never played but heard many a good thing about it:wgrin:

Well regardless of all of this I say you should quit playing and just sell the game to make it easier on yourself, no point in playing if you’re not enjoying it.

On a completely different note, got any fightsticks? I’ll buy them from you!

I think ill pick up a SNES and play Super Mario 3 and Super Mario World just for old times sake , hope it will keep my mind of SF for a while.
Until then ill be waiting for KOF IX ( another drug ) and God of War 3. Going on a trip as well I think that will help me snap out of it .

oh i defo still enjoy playing it theres no way id ever sell it i just need a break for a few days is all ha ha mite hit it up again soon.

and its funny you ask if im selling any sticks, i have a 360 TE for sale at home, only downside its in the UK ha ha and im in canada for a few months still.

How much? I am deadly serious.

oh shit i havent decided, i paid 150 for it so would want to make SOME profit obviously…make me an offer. PM me or something

All I do at work is look at SRK because I cant stop thinking about street fighter. I get home and play Street Fighter…im addictited.:sweat:

All I will say on this topic is that SF4 has its hands wrapped firmly around my soul.

If I don’t get in at least two hours a day of practice, I get pissed off knowing that is one more day I didn’t get any better.

This is a thinly veiled rage quit thread LOL

I don’t think it’s a ragequit thread. In fact, having played WOW were people talk about things like this all the time, I’m surprised there aren’t more of these threads. It seems there’s quiet a few people who think they’ve become addicted to the game, but nobody thought of putting up a thread to discuss it themselves. I guess it’s strictly a “'09” thing. All the veterans allready know that SF is their life and they have no problem with it :).

people who are addicted to this game are no rage quitters.
people who are addicted to numbers & e-penisses are ragequiters

:sweat:

I’m a little obsessed. I just finished building my custom stick which is all that I thought about for like two months waiting to receive all the components. I was at dinner with my girlfriend last night and I was practicing combos on the table. She got pissed. I have a 300 page book to read for my english final and I’m on like page 30.

Yeah, I can quit anytime I want. I just don’t want to.

The problem here is that you’re likely too mentally immature to handle losing at the game. Especially if you’re losing sleep over it.

And coincidentally, it’s probably that same mental weakness that’s causing a lot of those losses.

Being 09’’ doesnt = Newbie though. I’ve been playing street fighter since I was 8 and it has always been a part of my life. Its just always overwhelming addiction once the newest street fighter is released.
