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

HEY! It was a joke man =P. I know plenty of skanks and nymphos! lol that was a joke too. I just know enough to get me laid every once in a while =D.

I know how you feel. My internet is craptastic. It literally shuts off every hour or so. Sometimes it just decides to troll me and decides to lag when i have the perfect u2 punish…

Was that a joke too? :stuck_out_tongue:

I understand bad internet. I have some troubles, my router is the cause of it most of the time though I think. It disconnects just enough so that I lose connection to the other player, but not enough so that I’m disconnected from XBL. Really frustrating, especially when you’re frustrated cause nothing was going right already. :frowning:

Story of my life.

I take back anything I may have said about the level of competition on pc edition. I been getting blown up for a week now

Just only have 4 wins tonight, but still my mood is:

[media=youtube]ntVq-X8UGdA[/media]

Man i been getting my ass kicked lately. Been spending most of my time on Dudley. Then the rest is split between Oni, Viper and Makoto. WTF MAK OH TOE why you gon’ fel me now gyal (jamaican accent). Its like if I don’t spend 30 minutes practicing like i’m about to play a tournament then i git me hass whooped ya. It lead me to believe that:

Stunning Revelation

Spoiler

Makoto is not for casual play.

ok now before you bite my head off, i didn’t say she wasn’t fun. I said she’s not for casual play. IMO. If you really want to beat someone at a tournament then she can get the job done as far as setting the mood. Very serious player, very serious character. But if i want fo fuck around an try a few new things… no. Not gonna happen. But then i pick Dudley and do 50 hit combos on Balrog. against the same guy that smashed my makoto. and i just started playing with Dudley 2 weeks ago…

WHAT
THE (long E)
FUCK

I’m just saying, when I go to tournaments i do relatively well. I could NEVER take Dudley or Oni into a tournament. Makoto is ma bitch. But shes a serious bitch so that laughing bullshit is out the window. I just can’t seem to play her and “just” have fun. I’m way too serious and I take casual losses way to seriously. Man i need to fix this or i’m gonn have to give her up or i might have a heart attack… A REAL LIFE HEART ATTACK at our next casual LMAO. I mean i’ve had some makoto health related problems such as

-fatigue
-diharrea
-unsteady hands
-chest pains
-red eyes
-extra salt
-headaches
-fist through walls
-bad dreams about getting ass raped by top tiers (character AND player)
-head banging
-stick throwing
-blank staring
-inconprehensible speech
-randomly choking a nigga or two

Maybe its just me??? I dont’ know. But I do know that right now Makoto is bad for my health. I know I can’t see a doctor about all of the symptoms but i think i might start getting high before i play or something. Fuck the bullshit. I"m tired of fixing this damn stick…

I love reading your posts mossad man!

Yeah it’s hard enough to pick Makoto, I wanted a character to mess around with to take a break from Sakura, and playing Makoto is just a complete opposite to Sakura and it’s all new to me. But she is really fun but I dunno if I want to bother learning her to her full potential. I know a few setups, her combos, and the likes and it’s doing ok for me so far :stuck_out_tongue:

Sounds like she’s getting to Mossad. Perhaps this is the trial you need to overcome to unlock her potential. As the Hindu Dharma Yoga says, be attached only to the duty, but not to the result. Thus you will find enlightenment.

tldr? Chill out man, losing isn’t everying.

ah yeah i know. can’t help it though. Dont know why i’m like that. What’s worse is I play much much better when i’m cool. I mean 10x better. Dont’ know why i get upset so easily though. got to find a way to play makoto without activating super IN REAL LIFE and going hard on some poor wall

Haha I get the same way. I can play guys from here and take some serious beatings and I’m pretty ok, feels like I’m learning and getting to play some people that I know are good. But if I’m playing some randoms and am losing a lot I feel my blood pressure rising, sometimes I get the Bruce Lee shakes… you know where your arms tremble like Bruce after he hit somebody but he still had all that energy just coursing through his veins. I still think it is because Makoto is pissed off all the time and it rubs off on me when I’m playing.

Has anyone ever lost to another makoto player who just chose her for their own kicks, and clearly spent no time actually practicing with her? I can’t describe the mix of emotions I feel when this happens. It’s like a cross between anger and a hate for myself for losing…yet at the same time I want to infinitely run it back to school them. Typically, if there is a rematch, I’m so worried about losing again AND showing off for a victory…you can guess what happens.
Although, I’m sure someone has probably thought the same about me lol.

it

happens. mirrors are awkward like that

IS THERE ANYTHING WORSE THEN GETTING THROWN 1000 TIMES PER ROUND?!! ARGH

Yep, getting frame trapped 3 times a round.

Did a pretty bad match yesterday vs an Akuma (i think its Gouki on japonese version of the game… the one with the “Wrath of the Raging Demon” ultra)
It was a decent first round wich he won. Then the second I totally owned him. combos, traps and meaties were flowing out of my fingers to the controller, and from the controller to Mak. I even stuned him…
Then the fail … I missed the fukiage after the focus atack and after that I did mistake after mistake after mistake… It was worse then an horror movie :frowning:

Happens to us all, I’ve had games where I’ve been one light punch from victory with a substantial life lead. Then I make one small mistake, and the pressure gets to me. I begin mashing (“Come on, one light punch!” I’m thinking) and I fail.

Been playing better of late at least, which is nice. I still need to get better with mix-ups and normals, I find myself using the same tricks over and over.

Yeah, why does that happen? It’s an automatic loss of atleast 30% of health.

I hate to admit this, but the cause of a lot of my rage comes from my step daughter. I innocent 3 yr old, who only wants to be loved, so she ignores the Dora movie I put on for her in the other room and she comes to me with A MILLION questions about NOTHING right at a pivotal point in my game and then decides to swing from my arms to ensure another loss and then…

Anyone else see desk’s u2 OS with zangief to beat back dashing? If the online guys get this down, I’m going to be on this thread a lot!

So I get into a match last night. Green bars, everything looks fine. Kid picks Ken, we go to Volcano stage, typical nonsense…and dear God. This was, without a doubt, THE laggiest, unplayable garbage I’ve ever been a part of. I have to press buttons at the beginning of my jump arc to get them to come out towards the end for God’s sake. And of course, Kenny boy does his infamous online lp. srk > lp. srk mixup. And in this lag, it’s almost IMPOSSIBLE to punish. So I wind up losing, which in itself wasn’t all that bad. Then the kid comes and rejoins my lobby, but this time I have NO connection bars to him.

Why you lie to me the first time game? I’d have never played that garbage if I’d known.

I’ve only had AE for about a week and I’ve solely been practicing with Makoto for that past week and I think the most annoying matchups are against Shotos.
Seriously - hadoken, tatsu, wake up Shoryu, jump back, Hadoken, Shoryu, tatsu when in corner, rinse and repeat.
It’s so annoying :expressionless:
