Er… if your good at 3S you shouldn’t lose to a noob chun… If she doesn’t have her kara-throw game she is FAR less threatening than if they just spam s. FP, b. FP, and c. MK, super. Not that she’s hard to play, but when her throw game is diminished it’s not as bad imo.
Though I’ve lost to a nub friend of mine in a few rounds and like maybe a match because he spams different reversals on wakeup. I’ve just given up on any oki on his ken cuz he switches up between super, dp, cr. MK, and reversal throw. He loses well over a 100:1 still but I don’t like losing 50%+ of my bar to a few good guesses. I understood it but i was trying to teach him it was a bad idea but he occassionally guessed right enough to steal a game or two.
What Dark Geese said is WRONG. Good players don’t lose to scrubs, they MAY lose to unorthodox styles, but those ppl they lost to are def not garbage. There is absolutely no excuse for losing to a truly shitty person because there is one solution that beats all button mashers…
II’ve been losing to guys on my controller in xbl for HF. I can’t DP on 2p side on that FPS controller that the 360 has. I can’t even hope for my fireballs to come out. You lose to the stupidest crap on live because of lag and no stick.
When I played CE, I got beaten by bunch of spamming Dictator, and then usually I taunt them to play HF (which they “innocently” agree to) and then proceed on beating them miserably:rofl:
Edit:
Btw, I’m talking about Kaillera in case anybody’s wondering what the hell I am talking about.
Noob/button mashers are harder to play against than one might think.
Normally against experienced players, there is a method to the madness and a pattern to be found. With button mashing noobs, that is not found there because not even they know what they’re going to do next! Adds an element of unpredictability as they flail around.
Soul Calibur 3 is the biggest offender i can think of, beginners that have no clue what they’re doing can still mash like crazy and beat an experienced player.
Thats probably one of the reasons why SC3 is hated on. It is almost an insult to a vet player to get beat down by a noob who is good at mashing at just the right instances(Voldo & mitsurugi are noob friendly i think).
The funniest masher moments I’ve seen lately was a dude who was mashing so hard and randomly, he tossed out a RC’ed fireball in CVS2. He didn’t even notice what he did.
conditioning your opponent? throw it out the window.
masher definately are annoying in that aspect.
even block doesn’t always protect you from masher…if they mash out throws or mids/lows (in sc)
glad I was never a button masher…ewww…
then there is the smart button masher too. may not know moves in the game or moves of a certain character but knows spacing, dodging/sidestepping, high/low, etc.
like in SC. they may not suck, but they’ll dodge/parry/space and mash out a punish.
