How do you get your girlfriend to play 3S?

I wouldnt want a girlfriend that plays non-arcade 3s

My gf (now wife) got into KOF 13 just by watching me play. She’s not good execution wise but she surprised me at the outset because she never mashed or jumped around, all around paid attention to what was going on.

I guess they just gotta be interested then you can help them out by teaching execution and fundamentals.

Women do not possess the competetive nature to be good at fighting games, ya’ll be tripping.

I can get my wife to play fighters /sometimes/. The problem is Third Strike is a brutally difficult game. She has definitely surprised me before with blocking and parrying and all of that. She’ll even watch the major tournaments with me. But she still prefers her League of Legends (which is fine, since I find LoL to be relatively relaxing if I just want to take it easy). Also, though, she sees it as beneath her to play Chun just to try to win. Her favorites are Elena and Hugo, so she keeps with those. She actually connects some nice links sometimes, too. But I say compromise. Play something she likes, then have her give 3S some time in return. And encourage her when she does well.

I hate to be the one that says this but…

Hugo and Elena don’t have any links.

Well Elena has one but that’s a target combo.

he might have meant combos.

Yah, I have a friend who does the same thing. He just considers all combos, be they canceled or linked, to be links.

Combo Chain Links.
Maybe he was prepared to buy tennis bracelets or just, bike chains.

Man, how do you just get your regular friends to play 3rd?

Tell them you’ll spend $20 on them for every win they get.

Hugo’s Clap recovers very fast and does big hitstun, so he does technically have links. Elena also has at least one or two links to SA2 and maybe even SA1. Granted they’re far less used than her cancels, but they’re there. If she does use them though, then that’s pretty sick. It’s like if she knew how to do Dudley’s “Punch into Cross Counter”.

Hugo has a lot of links, mainly involving his claps. Get your shit together, jeez.

then get her to play cvs2

chicks love cvs2 :coffee:

I think everybody loves CvS2, where u at with dat hd re-release, Capcom?

dump her immediately

Every time I heard about someones girlfriend playing 3s, it always involved chun

[FONT=Helvetica]damn…

I need a girl to strike, strike, striiiike, i need a girl in my life…lalala…damn.

One of my lady friends said to me the other day, “some of my friends are into the SF thing…they even make their own playboxes (ie joysticks)…and go to Vegas…bunch of losers!!” I was like sheepishly…“um I got me a joystick and I love me fighting games”. She just rolled her eyes and shook her head lol
Then she was like, "you know, they suck, I beat them!"
Me, “yeah, cuz your a girl…”
“Naw, it’s not like that at all, they got pride but they suck!”[/FONT]

or elena i would bet. maybe ibuki.

If I had to choose, I’d want a girlfriend that plays Urien.

I mean she’s using Urien, that’s pretty hot yo.

Too easy. but I won’t be so crude about it.

Don’t want a Hotel room near you when you 2 leave your house for tournament and gatherings, then.

KILL
CRUSH
DESTROY
PITIFUL SCUM
YOU DIE AHAHAHA

And the Tv’s and consoles were turned off hours ago… :wow:

because of this thread i’m going to harass my girlfriend to play (again).

she was actually remarkably good for someone with 0 experience. she blocked flare’s crossups.
