I used to get seriously pissed off losing with vanilla SF4 'cause my wireless connection was so damn laggy and I lost to some really shitty tactics due to that. Since I got SSF4 I went and connected my PS3 directly to my modem and don’t get much or any lag anymore. I’ve probably played a few of you from here and gotten my ass beat but usually I laugh 'cause I’m having a good time playing people genuinely better than me and I also find it enjoyable watch everyone else play too.
meh almost never. I laugh though. clowns get away with so much bullshit. answer to EVERYTHING is mashing jab+short lol…
I can’t understand why someone would get so angry they would break their controller or arcade stick from losing, I pay good money to have an arcade stick I can use/spend money on to mod and I’m just gonna just smash it because I lost playing someone in street fighter! Jeez talk about a waste, worse would be if someone was using your arcade stick/controller and they decided to smash it, I’d smash their face in if they did that.
The worse I’ve ever seen a person get upset is in the arcades where one time this guy was losing in CVS2 and punched down really hard on the fierce and roundhouse buttons, then took out his car keys and scratched a gash between the buttons and on the side of the cabinet.
For me I just accept my losses especially if I lose fair and square, and would send a “good game” or “nice fight” to my opponent, and if there’s a match in which there’s massive lag and it feels like your character is fighting on the moon or something, I just laugh it out regardless of the outcome, people really need to work on their anger issues.
What I really get pissed about, is me loosing to stupid mistakes. Especially noted when I watch the replay.
I get really angry, it’s gone as far as getting my wrist sprained. My Fightstick is starting to play up… I Tiger knee it too much. I only get angry when I lose to someone from me being totally stupid, the best example yet is XBAWCKS LIVE KEN!!1 Whenever he spams his lite pawnch shyruken, I TRY to punish, but then get hit by another… I need to play more xbox live. 
I used to get angry but it’s better for yourself and your game if you just stay calm and forget about it
Ya that is exactly what happened with me too. I used to get super pissed but then I started to stay calm and get right back up and keep on playing.

It helps me calm down after lol at the song at times. Otherwise, I rewatch replays and try to not make the same mistake again.
I like watching Free1UP’s vids and man, I wish I could just laugh about dumb shit the way he does. It looks very healthy the way he deals with it. Alas…
lol you’re not alone, few months ago someone sent me the harshest ragemail (after him winning) I have ever read.
Have you ever seen when retard skateboarders will mess up a trick they will have a temper tantrum and break their board? Might be the same thing.
I’m on my third Tournament Edition Stick after breaking the previous two after losing my temper. SSFIV is likely to cause another stick to break as I’m getting my ass kicked by pretty much everyone.
Does anyone agree that Akuma now feels sluggish and has been pretty much rendered useless?
Regarding 3rd Strike, I never really got too mad over losing from the opponent being better, or even my own mistakes.
I do however, get upset over losses I had no control over, such as stick/machine issues or lag from online play. I remember years ago, when I lost to a guy playing Ken because down-left on the 1p side wasn’t working, so I raged to the point where I kicked the machine really hard. I don’t get that mad these days, but it’ll still get to me some.
The worst case scenario that causes me to lose my fucking mind is when I lose to a friend on Live because of network BS when I know I would have dismanteled them in person.
Losing to a stranger on Live for the same reason doesn’t piss me off though, I don’t have to listen to them talk trash.
Wow man, I would have loved to have seen that. Who does that?
I get mad when I think Im good but Im not.
I get extremely mad at the following two things:
Stupid gameplay mechanics that make no sense. Example = SFIV/SSFIV. You never know whos midair attack is gonna win out(feels random), hard attacks come out faster than mediums, just doesnt feel Street Fightery.
When the controls are messed up. Example = I am trying to use a SE stick with a modded stock stick, where the restrictor is sanded round, I can’t block low, or seem to do hurricane kicks. In Marvel, it extends to rolls. Using a different control method than an American CABINET or PS PAD, always takes down my confidence in my movements as it is. This shitty ass scrub was able to with Iron Man to hit me with c.lk,c.mk, OTG c.lk. c.mp X Proton Cannon. Like 3 times in a row, and his bitch ass thought he was doing something! That pisses me off to no end! I can roll that shit no sweat under my preferred controls, I wouldnt have been hit with a c.lk in the first place. I hate losing to garbage ass people because of the controller. Also when I use a square gate its even worse, and if the stick has 8 buttons I always press the extra buttons, which causes empty attacks, or missed grabs, ect, ect. So, yeah, I get extremely pissed over control issues, because they make you lose matches you shouldn’t lose.
I’ve been playing fighters since I got Genesis SCE for XMAS 93, and its been a fun long ride, but alot of shit pisses me off now, and I never ever used to get mad. Now I get mad, bust up PS3 and 360 controllers, I have avoided breaking this stick, but man, another missed TKAHVB or easy ass move I’ve been doing for 10 years, causing me to lose to some newb is gonna mean the end of my 5 day old stick.
I just try again and take note of my mistakes.
I used to get REALLY mad when I was younger, about 10 or so, especially because then I couldn’t even do special moves (ww, dash turbo. so yeah I did start off on the old ones), and the computer could. It also didn’t help that the instruction booklet was lost.
Usualy I just try and figure out what when wrong and make a note to cream them next time I see them.
Do get annoyed when I lose to that “my head has turned to cheese” feeling where I just feel burnt out and kind of disconnected from what I’m doing which results in random jumping, simple exection cock ups, aproaching an enemy to crossup and then forgetting to actualy do anything thus eating a dp, this gets really annoying because it doesn’t go away until I take a break and not being able to perform as usual is always annoying.
Flowcharts in a laggy room. I’m competent enough to beat these guys with no problem but when lag starts effecting my gameplay and I go to punish with hp > special or whatever and the special doesn’t come out and my normal is -frames and they are mashing fierce dp and super comes out also you will see some hysterical laughter. Like sometimes I think when shit like that happens I should be submitted to the looney bin. Thats about the extent besides the occasional “oh boy ANOTHER Ryu” speech I like to give out to myself everytime I see that face on the vs screen.
I usually just cuss up a storm sometimes. What really calms me down though is i look at some flowchart replay and i laugh at the mashing they do for a dp whenever im hitting them.
