I spend a lot of time in school on this forum when I could be doing other work (that I don’t care to do).
But, no regrets.
I think you just need to chill out. I mean, I love SF but it doesn’t keep me up at night. I get kinda pissed off when I lose a match I should have won but even so… it shouldn’t cause so much tension. Quitting is definitely a good thing for you, sir.
ha ha yea all i said was that i get annoyed when i lose due to a SRK spam and thats just not in the books apparently.
i think a lot of people just read ‘srk spam’ and instantly jumped in with advice and got offended when i told them that wasnt what the thread was about. no offence or anything but its the truth.
I tried, but I can’t
SF4 = Video Crack. Damn GP is like leveling up in Final Fantasy, and there’s a constant flow of end-bosses when you hit the Finals match in Championship Mode. I find myself thinking of combos and situations while I’m at work/class. It’s bad, and only getting worse. I haven’t showered in two months. I have sores in places you don’t want to know about. I’ve had to replace the innards to my TE stick 3 times already. I’ve sold my car to pay my internet fees. I gave up my alcohol addiction for this. If I had children, I’d sell them off for a custom Seimitsu stick. I call my girlfriend a bitch and a whore when she harps on me for playing. I tell her she just doesn’t understand me. My Dorito and Red Bull diet gives me horrible diarrhea, and searing stomach pains. Heaven help me if they release new/more characters to the roster. I pity world of warcraft players for their constant grinding to power up, when I can get my Ultra and Super all in one round. And to top all this off, there’s a mouse who sits on my desk next to me while I play, and he talks to me. His name is Jerry. He tells me some cat named Tom is always after him. I hate that cat.
I can’t believe there’s bickering still going on in this thread… does anybody read the first post?
It seems like a lot of people see one or two keywords and go blazing into troll mode. “quit” “loss to spam” … and they conjugate that in their heads as “OMG this 09 noob is quitting cause he can’t hang with scrubby spam, HAH!”
I’d think we’d all be able to relate to being so obsess and “into” SF, that we begin over-thinking everything.
Example:
You play hours and hours of Ryu crossing you up, going into a combo, then ending with a tick throw or haduken… That routine is instinct, you can guard and counter that in your sleep! Then… you play a scrubby Ryu that just jump-in+sweep over and over, and you can’t figure out for the life of you why the hell you keep holding forward to block.
This doesn’t mean you suck, this doesn’t mean you hate the game, this doesn’t mean you’re blaming the world and going to SRK to make a spammy thread to complain about losing… you’re just mentally over-clocked and find it semi-funny and interesting to see how other obsessed players are doing.
I’m sure the op was looking to see if other people took breaks, see how they pace themselves, find out what funny things husbands are hiding from their wives, or about how you’re “clicking” combos out on a table like a goof.
People need to cool off and enjoy in some casual SF talk.
Ironically, I think this thread proves just how much obsess people have SF on the brain… so quick to tell anybody the frame data, reversal technique, and general criticism with the slightest mention of anything. >> lol…
ha ha oh god i never said it caused tension or even stress or anger or anything like that, its more of a ‘damn, he beat me doing THAT i guess i need to figure ways to counter it’ (hence late nite calm thinking) kinda thought.
anyway ive repeated myself enough times i reckon by now but i guess at this rate its never gonna get through.
My brain hurts :looney:
I’ve also been caught doing the air combo thing. Thing I dont understand tho, is why are people thinking that they have problems for thinking about the game so much.
The whole concept of, “I gotta stop playing so much because of xyz”, is kinda insecure. If it’s not causing you health problems, or making you not pay bills, the hell difference does it make.
I’d love to be able to make money doing this shit. It would be cool as hell.
And if you are thinking that the hoes wont like you if you play SF all day, I say fuck’em. You find the right lady, and she will understand your passion. Like I tell mine, at least it ain’t drugs, at least it ain’t another girl, and you know where I am. So get off my back
and yes this guy has completely 110% hit the nail on the head with the reason i made this thread in the first place, i only wish i couldve worded it better myself (note to self do not use words : should/would/could. EVER!!!)
it was only meant for a bit of chatter and dont see a reason why people cant also share a bit on how streetfighter affects their lives ha ha. i was in 2 minds as to whether to post this originally as i thought id be branded as ‘sad’ for thinking about streetfighter when i shud be trying to sleep, and im glad i did to be honest. at least some people know what im talking about…
I get to play SF4 maybe one or twice a month, if Im lucky, and despite that fact I play fairly decent. I haven’t played since April 20th (I know cause thats the date on the last match I recorded)
So be happy that you people who are addicted actually get to PLAY :sad:
I am with you here. I’ve only had the game for 2 months now and I’m to the point where I need to just play late at night so the only thing I’m trading off is sleep. Of course eventually that caught up to me too!
Sometimes I air-practice combos as if I were playing on a sick, and I don’t even own one
Guess I just wanna be ready in case a really nice custom stick ever just appears in my lap… doubt that’s gonna happen though 
buy.com has tournament edition sticks. even though it says out of stock, i ordered mine last week, and got it today!
nice custom sticks there.
Calm down. most of us have been playing SF since hyper fighting in the arcades around the early 90’s. SF4 bring back a lot of old school fans.
Why do people think other people care about why they have stopped playing SF? All of you dicks make the rest of us '09-ers look bad. If you can’t win STFU and suck it up.
Dumbasses.
ha ha those of you who give me negative rep plz put ur name along with the incredibly insightful comments u give so i can wave to you if i see you in the street!
much obliged!
I actually haven’t been that into the game lately, I might play once or twice a week for an hour or two, and about 50% of the time i enjoy myself, and the other 50% of the time I just find it frustrating, annoying, and not worth the time as a result of lag, characters/tiers, and bad opponents.
That being said, having just got my TE, lately when I’m sitting down somewhere at a bar or something, I end up absent-mindedly tapping out combos on the tabletop as if the arcade stick is still in my hands.
Wasn’t me man, I always sign my negs.
ha ha oh no im not pointing fingers so far ur posts have been pretty reasonable i guess u understand where i was coming from with my OP. so i dont believe for a second u were one of them ha ha.
i find it kinda weird that on the internets where people are masked in anonimity theres people who even mask their negative rep as well as if there was any need really.
my fave so far is this ‘you f***ing suck you stupid piece of s***.’
seriously props to you dude you told me good. and ive certainly learned my lesson.
