Ultimate case of lag switch:

http://img59.imageshack.us/img59/8024/hoggndalag.jpg

This nig, right here.

Story goes like this: I’m cruising my way to another G2 Championship, la-la-la… I switch to Ryu for some lulz. My Ryu’s rusty and I want to bust him out at a tournament on Saturday.

I run into this guy, and he has 5 bars. Excellent. I ready, pick Ryu, and see he picked Gief. Great.

Okay, that’s not so bad. I know this matchup sortof.

The match starts, everything’s fine for about 5 seconds and he jumps into a dragon punch first exchange…

AND THEN SUDDENLY LAG. The game bogs down to 5 FPS. It literally takes 5 minutes for the first round, and the timer was still at 73 seconds.

Thankfully, well prepared for this situation I just mash dragonpunch on him over and over again. I win after 5 excrutiating minutes. I put on my headset, tempted to just leave the match as it showed no signs of clearing up. I figured what the hell, right? Why not leave?

Because I’m not full bitch. That’s why. Scrubs like this can abuse MASSIVE lag (literally, game was running at a tenth speed or worse. I wish I could’ve recorded somehow.) and increase my disconnect percentage? It’s already at 5%! I’ve played over a thousand games, and each time I disconnect because it’s too laggy for me to play the match, it goes up 1… Great coding Capcom.

So I mash DP on him for another 5 minutes, he starts getting desperate and jumps at me. Suddenly, lag clears up… FOR MOTHER RUSSIA!

Thankfully I know Laggief’s book of tricks, jump back and throw a fireball, FADC taunt right in his grill.

I immediately send him a voice message- irate for wasting 10 minutes of my time, and call him a lag switch using nigga and to stop mashing lariat.

That is the reply I got.

Apparently Obama winning means he can play on dialup. :expressionless:

Bad games to for not keeping up with this game at times and to all Connecticut ISP’s.

83

BG to Sweaty Savage.

The ONLY time I get close to beating him, he turns on the lag switch.

84

you are better off playing people you know on your friend list for a honest match nowadays

85

^Truth

BG to b0V1CE: yet another lag switcher.

I honestly wish my friend list was more diverse in their characters so I could practice all the matchups easier.

86

BG to tillies wall. See oh…the last 3 BG’s I’ve dropped.

87

Dude your paranoia on whether or not people have a lag switch is ridiculous. Our connection may have been bad, yes, but I would NEVER do it intentionally. I am sorry that it was bad. Cheating in games is pointless and I only play online because I want to become a better offline player.

I’ll play you again in player matches sometime if you’d like.

Bad games to flippaclops. I was in Semi’s for championship mode he comes into my room he reads from green to yellow so I didn’t kick him. When the match starts absolute lag fest. I couldn’t even do headbutt into ultra properly. He beats me the first round I beat him the second round and the third round he’s beating me really bad than I start mixing it up with rog I finally got him to the last of his health the lag gets worst and he mashes ex dp with ken the chip damage killed me…

BG’s to Durran3: Lag switcher.

90

Bad bone 69 Rage Quit right as he was about to loose in Championship then the trick has the nerve to send me a message about how **I **deserve no respect and calls me a typical xbl player WTF. Peoples mentality blows my mind every time I get online.

91

I didn’t even know about these “lag switches” until you guys mentioned them here. It’s actual hardware designed to gimp an internet connection! How incredibly craven and sad can a person be to resort to hobbling his own internet connection just to win a game of Street Fighter IV? Ridiculous.

92

A big middle finger goes out to davidG37X — I played him 4 games, won all 4. I picked my Sim the first time, won pretty handily. Then I picked random select the next 2, won both of those. Picked Rog on the 4th to combat his repetitive, flowchart, wishes-he-was-Daigo Ryu, and the fairy rage quits then sends me a 12 year old insult text (deleted it w/o reading).

If you’re reading this, sir, you can give my urethra a hickey.

93

Sorry to anyone that’s recently played a Viper on Championship Mode under my account (banksters), it’s my brother playing on my account and he rages BIG TIME online and mashes the shit out of the stick.

94

You guys talking about lag-switches are living in a dream world. Accept your losses, you sound like 8 year olds.

95

BGs to ‘SmashBros101’. Should have seen it coming based on his gamertag. His Cammy againist my Gen.

over 24000 points and he’s doing wakeup cannon drill/spike all day. When that doesn’t work, he jumps in, and I wtf kick him. Halfway through round 2, he stands there annnnnd…ragequit.

I messaged him saying “stick to smash bros, quitter”.

Also BGs to BLACKHAWKxDOWN, just cause it’s a pain playing him without a projectile character. His 17% disconnections and jump back shenanigans got him up to G1-B.

96

BG to FairlySadPanda for disconnecting while losing in championship.
He didn’t pull the plug he says…bad internet he suggests…move to a city, friendo.

97

Bad games to GameNeo. He plays Seth, I play Gief. Ragequit’s like a super duper bitch after getting schooled in a matchup that’s arguably 8-2.

Screenshotted. Bitch.

Motherfuck the following:

BSpot84, PearShapedBoy, and IF U IN IK

Buncha whiny homos.

bad games to this guy:

Claims he has an SRK account. Seems inactive to me

So anyway, i’m having fun taunting like mad. i guess it pissed him off.
I pretty much owned his Ken/Ryu combo with my Honda/Sagat in the first wave of battles (i had a big 6 win streak or so at some point)
He leaves then rejoins and this time goes even with my sagat 2-2 and takes off after evening things up

I get this message: trash…try training mode
i sent him something like: "whats funny is that i beat you more times than you beat me"
he sends: “wats funny is your playing a 10yr old”

yea alright…

Bad games to Cajun Style 1

I use Rog and beat his Guile in the first match. Second match he goes random and gets Seth, I beat him again. Third match, he goes random again and gets Fei. I am beating him pretty badly when he stops moving and then…he dropped.

Giving him the benefit of the doubt, I sent a message that simply read “??”

He replies with: "boring basic balrog"
I replied with "typical scrub bs. i’m trying to win a fucking fight, not to entertain your sorry ass"
He then confuses me with this reply: “lol im no scrub—i played random–against ur main n still beat u”

lmfao. He didn’t win a single match. Maybe he got a round on me, I don’t recall, but I know for certain he didn’t win a match. I informed him of his mistake, then he replied insisting he won with Guile.

There you have it folks, if you don’t win in real life, just rewrite history in your mind and convince yourself that you actually won.
