This is half the reason I have 0BP/0PP on my main PSN account (The one I played ranked on was an experiment and an account I havent used in about two years laughs). Unfortunately I’m still stuck with 0BP/91PP (Thanks to my other half, the points are with Dudley. Grr). Seeing the 91 bugs me. UNEVEN NUMBERS AURGH!
I’ve been called out a lot on it. Some in a really bad way of “Lol no points, what a scrub.” and “Holy shit. You’re this good and no points?” It can go either way. I’m not bothered by it but grargh uneven numbers bother me, not just in games either.

And I don’t like getting into the habit of not attempting to punish something punishable incase it lagspikes. I get these lagspikes more in ranked because when it comes to Endless, if they lag, I kick them until I find someone who doesn’t and I play them for a while if they’re actually giving me practice. If I’m perfecting them left right and center, I’m not learning and neither are they, so I’m better off finding someone else.

Eh, I’m not too bothered though, I have a pretty big offline community to practice with so online is more of just something to do in the evening when I’m bored shitless after a few hours of training mode and don’t have much else to do.

i just looked and i have a 12.5% win rate against viper and a 8.33% rate against Abel. I don’t think i’ve fought against an abel who wasn’t better than me

No comfier way to play.

I find the Viper matchup oddly fun. I don’t know what it is about her, I just enjoy it. Don’t find many of them online though, or even offline to be fair.

i find it fun till i get KD… then it aint fun. up until that point though, dealing with both air and ground spacing is really awesome it’s really a 2 dimensional game

I have to disagree… All online is not shit, rank of course is BS but who takes it seriously to begin with only time I took rank seriously is if I knew this person wasn’t just some random trying to abuse lag tatics and actually plays the match up. And 9 times out of 10 endless will be garbage too if the room is full of randoms.

Edit: Any one here played hugo101’s rufus or bison besides me, I managed to pull a win or two on his rufus but his bison is on a completely different playing field. His Abel and Seth are also decent.

so… what part of online isnt shit?

Offline is better without a doubt, though people try to make it seem every single match or every single set online is shit and you can’t possibly learn anything by playing online which is not true it’s all about the person.

Well then, here you have it: nope the number of rounds fought or the amount of health spared does not affect the result of distributed battle points after the game. point.

you can learn life lessons living in a cardboard box…

that doesnt make it less shitty to live in

nope but the number of rounds the loser of the match wins does matter. You get more points for beating the same person 2-0 than 2-1

No you don’t. I’m so glad we solved this. :wink:

The only reason i play rank cuz if i lose i get to find another fight really quick after that one i just loss instead of waiting till it’s my turn again.

Points doesn’t really exist to me.

i’d like to take a moment to reiterate vigorously that the title is correct. i’m about ready to break my disc

“getting kicked online and losing points or being on a 3 game losing streak just because the character is so bad” I have been on a 10 losing streak in ranked. just because i had no one to warmup with but i begged meteo2 to help me out and i actually started to win (in ranked) after he beat me 7 out of 8 games (in endless). lmao

i tryed again last night and the skill level of people online is just rediculous. Like people were doing the stupidest shit. That plus lag and I’ve had enough. both psn and xbl suck ass. Like apparantly it’s my connection or something because it’s unplayable with someone that lives 30 min away. Either that or offline has just spoiled me.

fuckin shitcast and their shitty ass connection.

I was thinking about it too.:frowning:

dude omfg offline today was so nice. even with all the execution errors from just simply not playing didn’t spoil my fun.

it was clear today it’s not my internet… I’m just spoiled by offline.

Lol personally i think i just suck to much i keep taking long breaks from this game and think “hmm maybe i’ll play some street fighter today” then i get my ass kicked like 5 times in a row then run to netflix lol. In order to keep a level head in online you have to play almost all day every week without taking long breaks it will fuck u up if you don’t. Im just simply horrible with match-ups and just press buttons.:oops: I don’t blame Vega i blame me, i wish i had a offline scene where i live.
