That would actually open low tiers as well if you think about it. Characters like Rogue, Morrigan, etc…
Not all low tier characters are as bad as everyone thinks.
i like Gambit/drones/ anti air
and bonerine/xxx/rocks.
it seems for people who solely play runaway…they never get better. they just get wins but not really experience. some think they have skill…but no most of the time they don’t. I would try some mags if I were you. you’ll have trouble against way better people because you haven’t learned and your execution might be extremely crappy.
at least that’s what I’ve seen. Now there are good players who don’t only play runaway, but do so occassionaly. and they are good because they have more skill and not the crap execution you get from always/only playing runaway. they can also implement rush down in and be truly versatile.
playing to win is not that great unless it’s a tournament, even then. I suggest you experiment, yes you may lose a lot but that’s how you truly gain knowledge
the best way to play or learn a game is to play not to lose, instead of trying to win.
just play to survive without mashing buttons.
what if your opponent uses HGxxTempest against you and he does it perfectly like 10/10 times. ermm… but i get what you mean though. just play calm and relaxed.
yeah in other words just play as hard as you need to, don’t risk doing a combo or a set up where you know your excution isn’t 100%. Playing to learn and improve is the best way to look at the game, rather than worrying about your win/lose count.
contrary to popular belief running away is very hard against good people and doesn’t really win the amount of games that people believe it does:arazz:
^ for sho, try playing Sentinel/Mag-A vs, Mag/Psy…HIT THE BLOCK BUTTON.
playin runaway requires alot of skill ive played against some of the best mags players and ive played against some of the good storm players. Try blockin most of their shit for 99 secs and u will quickly realize how hard it can be. While playin those characters may help ur execution it isnt necessary. U can learn execution by playin sent or even learnin some advanced stuff with cable. Personally to beat his team have u tried just learnin how to play ur team that u were playin to max ability. Cause in a low tier versus low tier match u have just as good of chance as winnin as he does. Im pretty sure me and pat would destroy prob 80% percent of the ppl in this room with just rogue and tron. Then they would discover its not always such a bad idea just to runaway.
Rogue Tron is some evil shit.
You do what it takes to win. If they whine just tell them they can do it to.
I had a guy play me and I was trying to teach him, he was good, but didn’t know top strats or why top tier was top tier. I just ran after getting a small lead and he just shook his head saying “Man thats just stupid I can understand like giving me a chance but that shit will get you ass kicking in real life man”
I said “Have you even ever been to a tourny? Do you know what EVO is? Wong?” He said “I’ve been to TONS OF tournys and your wrong sent is to big and slow and this storm stuff you would be kicked out of the arcade”
So I did it for 6 more matches, for some reason he kept coming back. Whats sad is he was a cool guy before this owned him. I came back 1 month later, and he picks storm and runs away the whole match!!! People that whine are just whining because they are losing and can’t take it.
So when I came back I was surprised that he couldn’t even get out off cable gunshot x4 + drones, nade trap. Isn’t that the most basic crap ever? He was on the ground for 2 mintues calling me “stupid” and “scrubby”. I said “Theres a hole newb, jump… now” and then he stopped whining.
Do what it takes to win, ignore whining.
I should not be one to talk as I have never been to an organized big tourney since ive only been playing a year, but what shitty toruney did this guy go to? sent is too slow? Bannign from arcade just for playing Storm as one of the ways she can/should be played?
Cable gun+Drones, he couldnt find the hole? Did he at least try to jump at all, or did he just stare at the screen like he was watching a porno.
Scrubs are never happy unless they win. Even if you sit there and let them hit you with their assists/comboes/projectiles they’ll still whine if you beat them on their own terms. Just try to find people who aren’t morons, that’s my advice.
I nominate you for some sort of award… Better yet, take Dr. Phil’s job. That’s better advice than he’s ever given anyone on his show.
Truer words were never spoken.
I have another answer for that btw, you can do what I do…
You use patience and politenes, but your deliberately employ a play style intended to drive your opponents insane. The most important part of the strategy is to be as patient courteous, and polite with these cunts as possible. You want to keep them around so you can exploit them, rape them, and take free wins. When done properly, you can build massive win streaks this way, or calm everyone down, and you’ll ALL become better players this way. Here’s how…
1]Use the strategy that your opponent[s] find the most difficult to beat you with and wait till they lose.
2]When they do, use one of the following lines [or something similar to it…].
-If the strategy is working well, I’d be an idiot to not use it.
-Too late, I’m already using the characters. I’m stuck with my strategy.
-Hey man, I’m just trying to take you to the next level of play.
-I’m sorry, but if I don’t stop doing this you won’t get any better.
-Learn how to stop me then. It’s not like it’s overly hard.
-If you don’t like the way I’m playing, simply find a strategy that will prevent me from doing it.
-The time you’re spending complaining is better served thinking of how to beat my strategy.
-The time you’re spending getting mad could be better served thinking of how to win against me.
-It’s not cheapness, it’s patience. You make mistakes, I punish them. Simple equation.
-You’re getting too frustrated to play effectively. Calm down.
-I’m exploiting your frustration. Calm down.
-You’re too frustrated to play me. Observe, and come up with a way to beat me.
-If you don’t like the way I play, don’t play me. [Save this one for if you finally give up and he won’t take the hint that you’re just raping him because he’s being stupid].
Here’s what usually happens since you’re being polite…
1]They spend the entire day over a barrel getting raped by you.
-You simply smile and enjoy the ride.
-Free practice all day for your $0.50
2]They improve or get lucky and eventually beat you and quit complaining temporarily.
-In turn this simply frees you to use an even MORE annoying tactic on them causing him to lose even MORE.
-In rare instances they keep beating you. That’s life, simply practice what you were preaching earlier and you’ll get your win back against them anyways and become a better player for it.
3]They give up eventually.
-Players that won’t complain and are eager to learn will be free to play the game.
-Yes, one less bitch to worry about.
4]Here’s the best part…
NOBODY HATES YOU!!!
Always be polite, patient and courteous no matter what. You might frustrate them even more that way since they can’t get a rise out of you. Never ever forget that these people are acting like pussies, and pussies are there to get fucked.
Seriously though. This thing reminds me of a game of Marvel Super Heroes, or at least that’s what I think it was. 2 players were playing each other. 1 of the 2 players was turtling in the corner. Cyclops landed a hit, and started going hk, hk, low optic blast, hk, hk, low opticblast, hk, hk, low opticblast over and over and over again infiniting him. I’m laughing at this guy thinking stuff like “WTF???” and "Cyclops can do that combo!!?? " and “I’ve Gotta Try That, That’s so cool”.
After he lost to the guy, he complained saying…
"You’re a fucking cheapass, Why’d you infinite me. I’ll never forget the winner’s response to his statement.
“Well, I saw you liked hanging out in the corner, so I thought I’d show you that the corner isn’t your friend”
I nearly fell on the ground laughing after that.
That’s the power of a good player over a scrub.
