SFCCL - online PS3 SF4 League

[SALonghorn]

I’ve signed up on the site.

PSN: Mad_A187
Characters-> Ken and Sagat.

As for poor connections, I think it would be great if we could have a requirement for playing that you install the game to your HDD and have a wired high speed connection. I had to get a 150 ft cable and run it all across my house to get a wired connection instead of just using the wireless. It is so worth it though!

OK, I got you written down, MAD. You’ll be added to the League for Week 16, which begins next Friday, Oct 16th. I’ll send you a PSN Friends Request and keep you updated.

As for the wired connections, no way to enforce that and I want as little “he said vs he said” conversations in the League. But for all the talk about lag, I’ve been running/fighting in this organized League since April and have not had one single bad connection. I have a basic 1.5 mps ISP with U-verse, and it works fine for me. I’ve had occasional 1-bar connections when randomly playing online, but even some of those fights were fine when we actually started playing.

Of course, if anyone is constantly having bad lag, it probobly their connection, not the other person’s. We all have to play by the rules of Laggy Online gaming.

I’ve made attempts to contact my opponent “OnePageMemory” so I’m posting this on the off chance he may read the forums and would like to kindly remind him to check his PSN messages.

I’ll send him a message.

Here is his profile on the SFCCL forums:

Send him an email if you like.

just wondering how i or where i up load my match vids to?

LOL, don’t feel too bad, GINGERSNAP. All of this stuff is still new to me, but easy.
Just record your match (best on a HDTV), upload the file to your computer, then upload it to YouTube (must have an account). THen just let me know, and I’ll embedded the video onto the SFCCL site.

@ S A Longhorn. I’m curious to know why you have never shown any sign of stress yet your level of commitment and dealing with issues seems to be ever on the increase? I’ve seen this topic, the SFCCL, the Playstation Network topic and I was one of the first to be against you in the Street Fighter 4 Forums topic.

The dropouts and additions do keep me busy, but the league basically runs itself. Just like everyone else, I do stress about getting my matches done. But beyond that, I simply check messages for results, problems, etc. The Rules are there for everyone to read, and everyone has to abide by them, including me. They don’t favor anyone, and offer a fair but strict code of conduct for everyone. If someone doesn’t like it, they can quit. Everyone is here voluntarily.

To be blunt, and I mean to offend no one by this, but I couldn’t care less if anyone quits the League. There will always be someone there to replace them. I can’t satisfy everyone with the design of the League, but most seem very happy with the structure & how I run it. I do greatly appreciate the kind words. It’s a lot of fun to watch the results come in and see how players/fighters move around the League. In the end, it’s all supposed to be fun. To me, it’s a lot more exciting that random, unknown matches online with the only thing counting are GPs or BPs.

That being said, if someone doesn’t like the “decision” I make to determine the results of an unplayed match, they have no one to blame but themselves. Play your matches, and determine your own fate. I have personally played 34 matches for the SFCCL - only 3 have been determined by a “decision” due to my opponents not playing their 2 matches those weeks. Not too bad.

But I want to thank everyone for joining the League and taking time to play their matches. It’s a commitment, but one I think the majority of members enjoy.

I’m out. The one bar match just kind of pissed me off.

Sorry to see you leave, KAAL.

FYI - love that ‘multi-quote’ option. lol

FYI - he last posted in the SFCCL forums that his work was taking him to France, where he would be unable to play online until mid-October. So he understood that he would forfeit all unplayed matches. He hasn’t logged online in about 35+ days. When he does get back, he’ll begin responding to messages, FR, etc.

You’ll probably get the win in this particular match. Here is a direct link to his last post on the SFCCL forums:
http://n2.nabble.com/OFFICIAL-SIGN-UP-THREAD-tp2995615p3579679.html

Since he contacted me in advance & wanted to remain in the League, I told him I would hold his spot in the League until he returned. However, since he couldn’t play, he would forfeit all of his matches until he returns. And he has since Week 12. He should be back in time for Week 16 next Friday.

I will make exceptions for players not playnig their matches as long as they contact me. I understand there are real-life experiences that are more important than playing SF online. However, to be fair, the player will forfeit their matches until they can play again.

It’s when a player doesn’t play their matches AND doesn’t communicate with anyone that will result in being dropped from the League.

I think his point was that people should have the courtesy to follow those simple “rules” like installing to HD and Wired Connection. They are more common sense type of things that anyone trying to be semi-serious about online play should follow. Otherwise it is just rude and annoying to the others you are playing against. Obvioulsy there is no way to enforce it, but it is good to suggest heavily.

Also, since you are in the Gold division, the players in that division would likely not be able to achieve and/or stay in that division if they had bad connections. Therefore it would be more likely for you to have good connections during your matches. So unless you are playing all the players in the EFDCB divisions, you can’t really keep saying “oh I don’t have connection problems, so I don’t know what the big deal is”.

I don’t really want to get all into it again either, but like I said before, it has been tried before and it just doesn’t work well allowing other continents’ players in. That being said, it’s obvious there is no changing your mind on this subject, so like you said, we can take it or leave it. It is better to have a mostly decent league instead of no league at all I suppose.

I’ll add these to the RULES page as suggetions to get the best possible connection and as a courtesy to other members. I didn’t think installing the to the HD would make a difference, but I suppose it could.

Carefule, SBL. Before you start saying things that are simply not true, its best to just let this subject rest. While I can’t claim to have played EVERYONE in the SFCCL, I have played a majority of the members in sparring, ‘friendly’, and unofficial league events over the past 6+ months. And again, I’ll reiterate that most, if not all, my connections with League members have been 3 bars or better.

So while I understand that 1-bar battles are horrible, I am simply saying that there are many reasons why a connection is bad. Don’t simply blame the other person as it could easily be your own fault. Or it could be the network, local service, or peak times. Whatever the case, we all encounter it soon or later.

Finally, just because you have a bad connection one week versus a specific person, doesn’t mean you will have a bad connection EVERY TIME for League fights. Part of the beauty of this League is that you will face new players & fighters all the time.

I don’t really want to get all into it again either, but like I said before, it has been tried before and it just doesn’t work well allowing other continents’ players in.

“A mostly decent league”? Thats fine. I’ll simply ask that this be last discussion about a topic that none of us have any control over.

as SALonghorn said it has more to do with “what time you are playing” rather then your set up.

and as for the comment “A mostly decent league” i joined this league for a sence of community rather then a sence of winning every single match i play.

playing in a leauge is about getting better and meeting new people. if you wanna play to win go to EVO, or if your in the uk i39 next year and play there.

of course we all like to win lol but lets just all have fun playing a game we love and stop all this moaning about connection issues.

[PumpkinBomber]

Well I intended the comment as a compliment. Having a “mostly decent” league is a success in my book for something like this. It wouldn’t be too hard to improve in some areas, but even still it pretty good. Now if I don’t have to play Mr Flowers every week with his 1 bar connection we might not have these discussions as often. FYI I was just responding to others’ comments and most people feel the same way about what I said but it’s not the biggest deal in the world.

I’m so surprised a UK memeber made this comment. LoL. AnywY nobody was talking about winning or losing. Just about trying to have a better experience for people in the league. Just having fun. If bad connections are fun for you then good for you. For most people they are not. Let’s hope Super4 finds a way to improve the online portion of the game.

I’ve been seeing GFAQs members saying they’re challenging SRK members in some kind of tourney and I was wondering if you guys knew anything about this?

Here’s a link:

Scroll down a little to see people talking about challenging SRK

Haven’t heard anything, but if people want to challenge SRK team they probably won’t make it very far. Seeing how the best of the best are SRK members.

[XxV1P3RxX]

wow the rumors about this site are true… why is it that people who have joined after 2008 recieve negative rep for? what did i do wrong?

[XxV1P3RxX]

i can only use two chars huh? dang well i guess Gen and El fuerte… will i be allowed to change later on?

[Ripper6]

yes, but you have to defecate yourself and send us a picture.

[Ultrabison]

You can change whenever you like (after any matches that are already sey up though) but which ever character you change will start at the bottom of the rankings so choose wisely as you dont want to make abit of progress just to start again.

Actually the new character would only go to the bottom of the current divisionyou were in. Not the bottom of the league.

Don’t worry too much about rep. If you find a regional thread and participate in it you will find more receptive people there since you all are in the same area. Sort of kindred spirits or whatever. :). Plus it’s a good place to find people around you that meet up for live matches and/or live tournaments.
