How in the hell is this supposed to be fair?

If you want to get better, try and spend more time in battle lounges against Ultra silvers +.

Actually getting them to play a terribad for long stretches is hard.

If you can get a gold to play you for a bunch of sets, even better.

I learned the most I ever have about SF going to a couple locals. A guy who was MUCH better than me played probably 100 sets with me over 2 weeks. I think I won 2, but by the end my game in SFIV had gotten noticeably better.

Scrubbing out wins against other Bronze’s won’t teach you much other than people who are as bad as you also can’t anti-air, or whatever.

22

That shitlord doesn’t want to get bodied to learn.
That shitlord wants to beat on retards for easy wins.

23

The only thing that’s unfair is how I don’t get to double check people’s ping in ranked matches.

No, I would not like to lose points to one random nigerian who decided to get a PS4.

24

You know what, this actually helped me a lot. I was frustrated and decided to take your advice and hop into random lounges with people higher levels than me and it took the stress of ranked off me a lot and allowed me to look at matches more objectively, although I still wasn’t having a whole lot of fun. Thanks a bunch though.

25

I don’t understand why so many players do not like being matched against better players…

Where is the excitement playing people you know you can beat? I want to play people that can make me look like I picked up street fighter yesterday.

So many of you can only enjoy fighters if you win / no struggle, how sad is that. You are missing all the beauty of fighting games.

Just keep playing CPU level 1 if you just want to win and feed your ego.

I think SFV should have an option around the lines off " search for better players" so that I would not have to deal with crap like this…

26

Hey no problem man.

I will say it is MUCH more fun getting beat on when you are sitting next to the person and can trash talk and get pointers.

If you’ve got a weekly local, try it out.

27

Unfortunately I don’t think there is one. I looked on this forum and google. I guess nobody from Massachusetts plays SFV

28

There’s Game Underground in MA sir. Many of the East Coast bigwig players go there now and then. https://www.facebook.com/GameUnderground

Getting bodied is the road to getting better by the by. Aint no fun in knocking down ketchup bottles. “Lose and learn” is practically Fighting Games 101.

You hit disagree on a post that alluded the same thing.

Congratulations.

Butterfingers, it was supposed to be Agree :lol: :lol: :lol:

I’m going to play Devil’s advocate here and say that some people don’t find enjoyment in being completely bodied. My best friend IRL used to be like that. I’ve always wanted him to get into fighting games, yet he would only indulge for a few rounds before giving up because I was much more skilled than he was. I could tell he was visibly annoyed with getting bodied instead of eager to get better, but over time, he grew to start enjoying the fight regardless of how poorly he was doing, and in conjunction with me giving him some pointers, he got better and has been able to actually beat me in certain instances on Third Strike. That said, it’s much harder to be motivated into playing people that are much more highly skilled if they’re not around to push you into wanting to be better. Those who don’t have fun getting bodied and don’t have friends who are into fighting games at any level are forced to find friends at local tournies or suffer through online play. Perhaps there’s hope that those guys can end up like my buddy who now went from being complete ass to being somewhat shitty.

Short answer: Git Gud

Longer answer: You’re not ready for ranked. You’re eventually going to have to fight people of that level regardless so play some casual or lounge sets vs some people here and start learning. Ask lots of questions, GIT GUD

34

Isn’t asking people here to play with you against the rules? I thought that making threads looking for players is against the rules. I most certainly would be looking for people to play with here if it wasn’t against the rules

35

Yes, making threads in the Newbie Dojo for matchmaking is against the rules. You can definitely use SRK to find people to play against though.

If you’re looking for players:

SFV matchmaking thread:

People often say they’re looking for a set in the lounge thread too:

36

You’re free to ask people for matches. Just don’t go making threads for that purpose. That’s what fighting game lounge is for.

37

You are looking atit wrong. no matter your level you will be matched up with people the same, worse, and better than you. The problem is you aretoo worried about winning. Every time you lose to somemone better than you you get better because by getting beat you learn what dose not work. If you only played people at your same skill level you won’t get better because you are getting away with stuff that does not work and not properly punishing the mstakes your opponent. Look at your league points as currency; you get league points for beating people worse than you and get to spend those points etting to play people better than you. Read this,it will help you a lot

I couldn’t disagree with this more. I really don’t think getting beaten over and over and over again is helping me at all. I just get super pissed off. That and LP is the only measure of my improvement because there are no other ways to tell.

Edit: Also been against 3 super silvers and a gold all in a row so consider me tilted

39

shut the fucc up and take a walk scrub :coffee:

If you get super pissed off at losing random ranked matches then you really need to get off ranked. Start finding some people here to play lounge matches with and get to actually learning rather than just flexing your fighting game muscles and hoping for ranked wins.
