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 don’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.

I’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 don’t know what else to do now. I have figured out that my major problem is inability to react quickly. I’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 couldn’t improve, I just started experimenting with other characters. Now I’m back to Makoto and still stuck at this wall that I just can’t get over, but I feel like I have a deeper understanding of the game from devoting time to those other characters…

i been trying not to give up on this character…but i just can’t fucking be consistent her.

I think consistency is only achieved when you hit Mossad’s/Robot’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 i’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 i’m beasting than when i’m getting beat because of my inconsistency to sustain Makoto GOD MODE. It makes me angry that I can’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: I’ve lost all 2000 of my pp and now its at 300.

I’m not even raging. I never raged. I am straight up broken and depressed.
I know I’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 haven’t broken the 1000pp point yet with makoto and never seen past it. just remember that the main point is you’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 I’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 hadn’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 pause…and OF COURSE, I’m frozen in place unable to punish the Ultra. OF COURSE. And of course, I wasn’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 goal…I got to 10k BP with Makoto! It only goes downhill from here, I’m sure.

Those lag moments are the effing worst.

I haven’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 and…time…slows…down… I let go before flash apparently and lv1 FA comes out. I panic and go for throw, He mashes U1…GG

It’s rare, but OMFG with the freeze input from lag. It’s blue balls city when you’re in the middle of the rushdown/mindfuck part of the round and the lag creeps…and you compensate your inputs trying to keep the mindfuck going…it’s creeping and getting worse…oh God it’s warping like crazy but I can make this work…almost…got…dizzy…then finaaalllly Makoto stands still in the middle of a pressure string and won’t respond…

DINK! DP, Ultra, fuck

It’s one thing for the game to suddenly play like shit, it’s another to just lose all inputs.

Edit: fuck this…I’m playing MW3 until 2012

FUCK STREET FIGHTER

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

Huh…what? 30 losses to mingodynasty last night?..naw, wasn’t me…I got a twin

i dont think ima play makoto at this point in time…shes to hard for me :I
