Real talk.
@ Hold dat cosign that shit ninja.
This is a competitive genre and community you can be nice as shit and say slick subliminals on the side like Daigo all the time , but that shit is for the birds and for people that are real smug.
I like thrash talk it gets people hype and makes players wanna step their game up so they can dominate their competition.
This is what happens when the fighting game communidad gets whitewashed by sf4
That’s the thing – if the fighting game community wants to get big. It’ll have to pussify itself to the level of the casual gamer. The trash talking and slang the fighting game community has won’t really cut it at that point. Why do you think Seth K does the commentary on SF4? If we had people like Yipes or any other marvel player, the casuals would most likely complain. It has to get soft.
The FG community is so scared of losing us new members due to experience gaps, elitism and outright animosity towards us new players . The Community has to be extremely gentle with us new players to the point they are doing what the companies are doing watering down and dumbing down the experience.
srsly. vote yes on sb1070 for the fighting game community. no more sf4 immigrants! they are denegrating our indegenous culture.
I literallly meant more white people
we just cant handle it
Whitewashed or ethnically cleansed?
We’ll let you keep Marvel. Think of it as tournament reparations.
Its funny because you put these casual behind gears of war are modern warfare they can curse up a shit storm but let them play a fighting game you gotta treat them nice. The fps community isn’t soft to its newcomers .
It’s a video game, why people getting so damn worked up. This fad of “e-sport” stuff will be as dead as competitive eating in just a couple years.
srsly i they are ruining it for everybody.
no freemasons pls
ya you get it. even if a player doesnt get down with the trash talk, we shouldn’t knock the ones who do. cuz from what I’ve seen at the end of the day its still all love. ive seen some crazy trash talk and money matches etc and when its all said and done cats are eating at the same restaurant and sharing the same hotel room at the tourney lol
i used to and still would show up to 3rd strike tourneys with a ps2 pad my hand. I used to get so much shit talk from Flash G, Justin etc but it was those guys helped me out when I was trying to get good at fighting games. i still got time…lol
I agree 100% when it concerns commentary, presentation and how we present this thing of ours to the public. but we shouldnt knock players for being individuals though imo. Its what makes us unique.
but at the end of the day, you are right. the hardcore days are coming to a close it seems
There is a difference between trash talk and the mindless ramblings of an intoxicated ‘gaming professional.’ No, ‘salty’ does not offend me, it actually makes me happy to know that the person in front of me is ignorant. This empire lingo and state of mind needs to go. What ever happened to “Good game?”. Now people can only be ‘salty’ and ‘free.’ EMP essentially defecated on the Street Fighter community with it’s practices and ideals.
Here is why this lingo is the way it is now. EMP was (and I use was because Justin is gone) viewed as the model Street Fighter players in the community. But something changed along the way, their demeanor is different; there is a disrespectful vibe present. Somewhere along the line terms like ‘uber free’, ‘omega free’, ‘pot monster’, ‘stream monster’, and ‘on blast’ have crept their way into Street Fighter players vocabularies because the ‘cool kids’ were using them. It’s actually a very smart marketing strategy, keep using the lingo until it catches on. What they didn’t realize is that speaking like an 8 year old on weed will get you the respect an 8 year old on weed deserves. Do you honestly think diction like this is trash talk? The only thing this sort of language facilitates is the perpetuation of a deteriorating organization.
Let’s face it, EMP is a dying brand and they know it. Don’t be surprised to be attacked if you speak your mind on the subject. It is the next logical step, they are in denial and will lash our at anyone that has the courage to point it out.
Well imo fighters shouldn’t sign contracts to this shit anyway. It creates a monopoly and encourages the selective seeding problems.
Ok…interesting
The CVS2 and 3S class did not share these feelings on this forum as far as I can remember (somebody PLEASE correct me If I’m wrong) This “disrespectful vibe” can also be a misunderstanding. A lot of these things are said in jest. And if you notice most of the trash talk is between guys who know each other or have rivalries. Now dont get me wrong, I’ve seen some dickhead things at a tourney but all the slang thats going around that some of the new players find offensive is harmless.
Trust me its harmless
But to your point, if it’s being perceived differently then try to remember its not personal, the people being called FREE or PUT ON BLAST aren’t bitching about it and they’ve been doing it for years.
I’m not understanding how you find the connection between trash talk and your belief that EMP is a dying brand. my rant was only about the trash talk, i dont know enough about the EMP day to day to get into their perceived rise or fall
you make an interesting point on the shit talk…but it’s not SERIOUS shit talk. people arent getting openly disrespected at tournies like that
i think…lol
I think he’s saying that there has to be a distinction between trash talk and how the players handle and behave themselves after/before. If they are meant to be taken as serious gamers and whatnot.
These really shouldn’t be a big deal because none of us are getting paid by EMp or by EG. The tournament money isn’t going to switch hands and change is not gonna happen unless we beat these dudes.
your that guy who says yeah i am happy when someone calls you gay. that literally is you
Awesome, so nobody wants to answer my post questions?
