…Haha. I just like how this is actually a mature discussion. I’m just happy to make the cross over to this one, and not the XBL boards. Since you can see the maturity in the discussion, and it’s usually in the gameplay.
When I play people, they already have a style of play and they know what works and doesn’t. So if I do something like an UOH thats blocked, and I super afterwards. I’ll apologize, but they’ll tell me not to because they know it’s lag. Cause I had to input the timing earlier than normal. So I can deal with laggy connections if the people are cool and understanding.
On the other hand thats my personal opinion. I understand the whole be grateful for what you have, cause I’m just grateful the people are so awesome, thats enough to keep me playing lag or not. I know others are saying “compared to offline”, “It’ll make your skills better offline”. Things like that. It’s not that I would choose not to play in 4 frame delay cause I’ll blame my losses on lag. Cause I know the other person understands just like me. I just would rather not play because it just isn’t as fun (Not always). It’s worse when it’s compounded by the lag abusing gimmicky players.
When I played on XBL, thats pretty much was the whole comminuty. Especially after Mame came out. I do play better safe, but I just have more fun when I’m able to just let go and be wreckless, and still have my parries to rely on when I mess up. If I’m playing in 4 frame delay, like RPD said if I’m not psychic it’s makes it difficult, and as Emil said it changes how you play. Which isn’t that fun to me. For example, against Urien players I’m dead, it’s nothing I can do about it (effectively to result in a win). I actually feel bad for them, cause I’m not giving them a good match and just getting juggled. :lol:
Again, I just think it depends on the player. It seems like the “Blame lag people” are a very small vocal minority. Most people already understand lag, they would rather play people on their coast, and if there is none. They’ll be more than happy to do coast to caost.
Just some examples on the coolness of people, representing the majority of players. I played Hakiru a few times, and he’s WC. Sometimes our connection can be actually decent. Others it’s really laggy. But he’s so fun to play, and understanding, I just don’t care. He also never cares what Coast he plays. For the Ranbat, I played Desistyle. It was laggy, we both said it at the beginning of our match. He’s WC. I won, but we both understood it was laggy, it was just dissapointing. But he didn’t blame his loss on it, but I know he felt he could have played/done a whole lot better. If he won, he wouldn’t throw it in my face either. I also played against Sabin, Alex vs Ken is a bad match up for me, and it was laggy. He never did anything intentionally lag abusing, and I loss. Nothing I can do about it, we both said GG’s and he went on. I’m sure if I won, he’d do the same.
So people can play in laggy connections, I just think it’s a vocal minority, if they’re even that vocal. Though they’d prefer to play their coast. Others are just more compettive so they want the best. And I play for fun, and to play other cool people. I don’t think the ranbat has to be coast to coast just yet. Lets concentrate on getting the cap of players, before we take it that far.
and my spirit disappears. There’s a big difference between people just looking for a reason they lost that has nothing to do with how retarded they play or how good they are at the game…and people failing basic execution for them because of intense delay.
