sexual.
Premature.
After sex cuddles. <3
Sorry. Anyway, online has lag. Lag sometimes has jitters which will screw your timing. That’s all really, makes Makotos one frame links harder and just makes most tech heavy characters harder.
^ If I didn’t know you were throwing bullshit sarcasm, wouldn’t know that was helpful or screwing with me.
Just pointing out the obvious and annoying truth. 
And also why you might’ve been screwing up inputs. Maybe just slow down a bit. It’s not a matter of who’s faster, it’s who controls the space better. You really don’t need to try to be faster than your opponent. 
You have a lame way of doing it. But then again, I doubt there’s nothing if it goes red bar.
I was with ya until I got to this part here…what are you saying exactly? What do you mean “faster than I can?” They attack faster and get counter hits? If that’s the case you might be using the wrong attacks for certain characters, a lot of normals will just straight up beat some of makoto’s. If you’re mashing lights too you can leave yourself open to longer range pokes.
As for the delayed input part I guess you’re talking about lag. And if stuff comes out that you don’t want, then godly-effect is probably right about you screwing up inputs, except in some instances where your inputs are crossed up, which can cause fukiages/hayates to become oroshis. Or if your gamepad/stick/keyboard is broken…that’s a stretch, but hey it happens.
Oh wait…this is the rage thread…was playing a gief in lag the other day. And I was playing smart, using that s. mk to keep him back. Then he’d jump-in and the screen would sputter: CAN’T REACT TO JUMP INS! FFFUUUUUUUUUU! But it’s okay he can’t either…I jump-in…HE LARIATS! NOOO! ONE BUTTON REVERSALS! It’s cool brah, I got plenty of health left…gief does s. HK and OH GAWD COMMAND GRAB! Then I’m in the corner -_-
Ha, I thought godly-effect’s post was kinda funny! Ohh, double entendre! ALL THE WAY! FULL ON! IT’S SO BEAUTIFUL! 
And…you lost me again on that last part. Uhm…lag is bad?
It’s a kind of humour that isn’t for everyone.
In retrospect by “faster than I can” meant “Why the hell are moving like they ain’t effected by a hint of lag at all”. Why I hate online for a long while; might have a decent connection but the other guy will have a shitter connection. Makes it hard for input feedback to keep up when blocking’s crucial. So yeah, I did screwed up on a few details, but it was mostly connection lag and input lag that got me in the end.
Also if you were trying to be helpful, more subtle and less “my sex jokes’s 10 stories high while a goddamn snarker jumped up and bit you at the end of your fucking dick”.
Dude, don’t get blown up over the kind of humour I was going for. This isn’t going to help you get better with Makoto if you can’t even stay chill on a forum. Gotta be calm if you wanna play Mak.
Oh, I’m calm, very calm. It’s just irritating that some wiseass tries to pull a sex joke when the punchline went to Vegas. And I’m typing this while calm, and I’m failing. I’m sorry for that. But you’re not helping much.
I’m 99% sure Godly didn’t mean the sex references to be the focal point of his post, nor did he mean them to be offensive/irritating/mocking. If they’re not your cup of tea, no biggy, no reason to keep on him about them.
Made top 8 in Melbourne’s regional qualifiers for the OHN tournament, but I’m still disgusted by the way I played in my first match against a Sagat and my last match against an Akuma. I was slightly drunk before playing the Akuma (dont drink on an empty stomach) and I dont think I was warmed up enough against the Sagat player, but it doesn’t excuse how abysmally I played.
Call it good ventilation. Then Godly had to turn a simple “drop some RAGE in text, then leave it and call it a day” to a “venting by verbally smacking someone for killing the climax”. Frankly, I’ve heard better.
Something I prepared in the first post cause I knew it wasn’t everyones favourite way of getting laughs. I didn’t mean to offend you or make it seem like I was mocking you. You set it up for me and I took advantage. Sorry it got on your bad side.
You shouldn’t be sorry Godly, there’s nothing wrong with trying to inject humour into the thread, I enjoyed it. Hell, you even apologised for your humour in your original post, there was no reason for Rubedo to blow up about it in any way. We’ve all felt what lag does to Makoto in an online setting anyway, it isn’t fun.
Godly… And anyone else… Remember they this is a RAGE thread lol. So if you joke about someone or troll or whatever they are already mad so yeah they are going to lash out or take things the wrong way or whatever. It happens. Let’s just remember what the thread was created for… Let them rage. If they want advice/explanation/direction they will go to the appropriate thread AFTER they are done raging. Then once they have calmed down, feel free to bring out that inner troll.
No kicking when we are down guys. This isn’t marvel 2 (OTG joke in case anyone doesn’t know. I don’t want 50 messages this time saying "what’s tha mean lol)
This morning I earned all 1000 points back that I had lost in my previous post. Then it happened… my controller broke so m.k would replace other moves. I suck on my stick, so I tried out my new controller. Ex Oroshi would NOT come out on this thing. Instead, mid combo, Makoto kept standing still. Being my stubborn self I attempted EX Oroshi even more than usual so I could prove it was in my head. 500 PP later I’m heading back to the dojo to pick up some breaking boards.
I hate that so much of Makoto’s stuff only works on good players, and when I’m practicing it on lower level players I get crushed. Yet when I mis-execute on high level players I get crushed. Nothing feels shittier than beating a B+ Ryu or A Seth and then proceeding to lose to a C flowchart Ken.
I just need to keep it simple with the lower level opponents.
Got hit with two wakeup auto-correct Ultras this evening for losses in consecutive matches.
I haven’t raged that hard in a LONG time.
Totally relate to this sadly. I find that my Makoto timeline has gone like this:
>I start playing, I am bad
>I get better, advancing to more skilled play and players
>I am good
>I try using advanced stuff on low level players, they beat my ass.
Sometimes I just think I’m too respectful to other players.
That’s the reason why you see some people tell you to find out if they pass or fail the “are you good at this game” test and then figure out what to do.
