I’m new here so here’s my experience…
Yeah I agree. I have gotten beat by an Asian Button Masher (Never thought Asians had button mashers) on GG#R. He played Sol and somehow pulled off one of the hardest moves randomly. When button mashers play so random its hard for me to follow. If you can’t read the opponent then its harder for you to win. With Sol’s damage rate in Reload, my blocking hurt me and I lost the match by a hair, other than that, I have whooped button mashers.:rock:
Nope. One of the things I enjoy about playing on XBL (and online in general) is that you’ll face many different styles. It makes you a better prepared player. Also, I think my style of play (turtle) works in my favor when I face “noobs.”
I lost to a Eddie Gojo in Tekken and a Kilik in Soul Calibur. Not that im strong in those games, but I was a lot better then the person I was playing who was mashing (especially in tekken)
I usually only lose to noobs when im holding back for to long and when I try I already lost to much health to turn it around ;x
I’ve never been owned by scrubby play without being a scrub myself.
neutral throw…in sf2?
You can’t lose to a noob/button masher in MvC2.
If you lose to someone in Marvel who doesn’t play Marvel that means you are seriously lacking in some areas such as blocking, patience, etc.
For the Eder comment earlier, that isn’t valid because he has good timing (not to mention he’s a good player). Timing is another aspect of fighting games that a noob wouldn’t know of, and if you don’t know then you’re a scrub yourself.
We all know what kinda throw he’s talking about.
Only in Pocket Fighter.
My 65 year old mom almost beat me in Street Fighter 1. While I kept trying to hadouken, she decided to just walk up to me and repeatedly LK me.
lol nice
I hate to ask but how do you lose to a mind game that doesn’t exist? That’s like hardcore failure.
Yeah, happened just the other day. I was playing T5DR and some guy came up and challenged my Steve. We played like 3 or 4 real good matches (I won them all) filled with mind games, teching out of each other’s grabs, and baiting lows so that we could low parry into our juggles.
Then, when he left to go get change, a little kid came, picked Lily, and mashed his way to victory against me.
It never ceases to amaze me how bad moves that make no sense, work so well against people who don’t expect them.
happened to be in VF5 the other day, Lost to a EXTREMELY mashing eileen player. Very frustrating shit
Ahaha, same here.
I was at a bowling alley just watching some guys dick around. Apparently I was talkin’ shit, because right after his friend lost, dude gave me 50 and told me to put up or shut up. Put in the money, picked Taki, and beat the everloving shit out of him about five times before I lost. Then he gave me two more quarters, and I beat him two more times before he and his friends just walked away. :lol:
Back to the topic: The only game that I can think of is when people would pull out Dead or Alive, or when I don’t know the game myself (which is often, because I usually have no competition in the general area, and thus usually no reason to pick up the technical aspects of a fighter).
In Tekken I have. Never in a 2D game though, but I don’t play Marvel.
The dreaded subject. It’s not something that happens often, but its happened to me a least enough I can count on one hand (maybe a deformed hand?). Anyways, it honestly happens to even the best sometimes. Often times, it happens in games that I don’t play…I guess that’s the one issue with when you learn how to play proper SF, when you try to play another game–you REALLY feel like a fish out of water. DOA, SC (of any sort), and Tekken.
When it happens, it doesn’t bother me since I play those games almost less than casually, however one time I did play this guy at a CVS2 tourney once (like year one CVS2) anddddddd I don’t know wtf was happening. He just was not playing the game logically at all, so he almost beat me. But then I just let him trip over himself and I won. But still, when his mashing was working–it was unnerving.
3s lends itself to mashing sometimes but not really. I don’t really like 3s though.
I will admit watching people mash on crouch fierce during the first year of competitive, now that I look back on it was extremely comical.
complete scrub, no. sweep x5. after sweep x 5 they usually remember they know how to block, which is when you go for overhead followed by sweep x infinity.
me on pad is completely hit and miss though.
Several Lei Fei players in VF5. He is so fast and the attacks just keep coming and when you mix in the unpredictability, I have no clue how to react and as soon as I let my guard down to do something there is a good chance it will bite me in the ass.
Who is Mike Wakefield?
Yes, I couldn’t stop wondering why he kept winning some of those times. Then I realized that we were playing Third Strike and he had Chun-Li.
