Losing for all ages! The new Rage thread (with props to Gruntsworthy)

Skyward Sword taking up most of my time right now :stuck_out_tongue:
Still finding time for a few fights on the street however.

I blame my sucky-ness on SC2 and Skyrim.

MW3 and Super Robot Taisen Z for me. At least in FPSs you donā€™t stew over your loss for the next 20 minutes because of a failed read or a stupid defensive flaw, you just find another noob to slay.

Iā€™m writing a book of fiction and also had to compromise with my wife on my remaining time, so i can only play late night, a few nights of the week

I donā€™t know what else to do now. I have figured out that my major problem is inability to react quickly. Iā€™ve been practicing now since Super and I still blow.

Me too, I chose to main Makoto within the first hour of playing Super. Once I reached that wall with Makoto where I just couldnā€™t improve, I just started experimenting with other characters. Now Iā€™m back to Makoto and still stuck at this wall that I just canā€™t get over, but I feel like I have a deeper understanding of the game from devoting time to those other charactersā€¦

i been trying not to give up on this characterā€¦but i just canā€™t fucking be consistent her.

I think consistency is only achieved when you hit Mossadā€™s/Robotā€™s level. The lack of game knowledge/sense hurts mid level Mak players a lot. I think we might be the only sub-forum with a thread dedicated to frustrating losses.

HA iā€™m not consistent at all. I can never play regulular. Its either GOD MODE or Makoto Must Die Mode. And its all random lol. i actually get more angry when iā€™m beasting than when iā€™m getting beat because of my inconsistency to sustain Makoto GOD MODE. It makes me angry that I canā€™t play like that all the time.

someone hacked my xbox live account and spent 250 dollars on the marketplace.

so I get on PSN and proceed to lose 10 matches in a row.
One of them being a Zangief who just jumped at me and mashed SPD.

edit: Iā€™ve lost all 2000 of my pp and now its at 300.

Iā€™m not even raging. I never raged. I am straight up broken and depressed.
I know Iā€™ll get better but god damn, I am at a low point right now.

im sorry to hear bout you xbox getting hacked that sucks man :frowning:

lol donnie its ok im i havenā€™t broken the 1000pp point yet with makoto and never seen past it. just remember that the main point is youā€™re trying to level up.

I just got done playing against a 9500BP Chun Li and I literally became one hit away from beating her. I decide to ultra her while she finishes her whiffed ultra but what does my stick decide to do? An EX Fukiage! Then she just EX legs me and I end up losing. Life is unfair. :frowning:

I hate that. When I first started, Karakusa to EX Fukiage made me Hayate my wall.

The worst thing for me when this happens, is knowing that Iā€™ve adjusted the microswitches in my stick to the point that left, right and down register if I move the stick even a mm. SO HOW THE HELL DO I MISS THE INPUTS!?!

So I was playing some Seth today. Typical nonsense, SRK out of every pressure string, ect. Well, it was down to the wire and de does random U2 on his wakeup. Knowing I hadnā€™t pressed anything, I was already mentally chalking up a win and getting ready to move on when mid-Ultra flash the game freezes. I just knew the kid had pulled the whole ā€œdashboard during the Ultra flashā€ trick so I was mentally facepalming but nope, the game proceeds onward after about a two second pauseā€¦and OF COURSE, Iā€™m frozen in place unable to punish the Ultra. OF COURSE. And of course, I wasnā€™t able to close out the match because I was raging so hard at this incredibly convenient lag for this kid.

In other news, I finally achieved my goalā€¦I got to 10k BP with Makoto! It only goes downhill from here, Iā€™m sure.

Those lag moments are the effing worst.

I havenā€™t played in forever but got on the other night and was doing well. Playing against a fierce RTSD Ken who got me down to 15% life. I finally got some opportunities and got him blocking to open him up like a treasure chest. Got my dizzy and charged up FA in corner for a reset andā€¦timeā€¦slowsā€¦downā€¦ I let go before flash apparently and lv1 FA comes out. I panic and go for throw, He mashes U1ā€¦GG

Itā€™s rare, but OMFG with the freeze input from lag. Itā€™s blue balls city when youā€™re in the middle of the rushdown/mindfuck part of the round and the lag creepsā€¦and you compensate your inputs trying to keep the mindfuck goingā€¦itā€™s creeping and getting worseā€¦oh God itā€™s warping like crazy but I can make this workā€¦almostā€¦gotā€¦dizzyā€¦then finaaalllly Makoto stands still in the middle of a pressure string and wonā€™t respondā€¦

DINK! DP, Ultra, fuck

Itā€™s one thing for the game to suddenly play like shit, itā€™s another to just lose all inputs.

Edit: fuck thisā€¦Iā€™m playing MW3 until 2012

FUCK STREET FIGHTER

Iā€™m burning my Xbox and getting a wii so I can play skyward sword for the rest of my life

Huhā€¦what? 30 losses to mingodynasty last night?..naw, wasnā€™t meā€¦I got a twin

i dont think ima play makoto at this point in timeā€¦shes to hard for me :I
