SFxT General Discussion #3 - Still Alive

Sorry sir, but it is a lost cause. Once these idiots start spewing their nonsense and their non-factual “facts”, there’s no convincing them otherwise. I’ve learned this the hard way… :frowning:

I’m sorry man… fight the good fight and all and I feel your pain, but there is no way I’m about to argue via youtube comments. I can’t speak for the guys you’re arguing with but that shit is the ultimate exercise in futility and brain cell loss. YT commenters that like to argue run neck-and-neck with stream monsters in the race for irrelevancy and being juvenile.

You’re probably right. But why does such inane nonsense have to be tolerated?

because it’s the “internet.”

The issue is that people think they can just spew out this nonsense and call you names because they’re sitting behind their computer screen and they think that there won’t be any consequences for what they say, whether or not they’re right.

It’s sad, really.

EDIT: What Songi said. :sweat:

Hmm… some places are good for fostering some dialog about topics. Here, for example, in a forum dedicated to the genre we can get the meat of the subject, and the amount of really lost causes is very minimal in my experience.

Hell, as much crap as I give EH (and sometimes SRK) front page comments, there’s some there that are just as invested and actually know what they’re talking about.

In those cases, I’ll sometimes try to post my thoughts or disagreement because the chance of getting something intelligent in return, {whether the response agrees with me or not}, is higher.

But on Youtube?

FUUUUUUUUUUUUCK no. The “internet wall of stupid” as I will now dub it, blocks intelligent thought. Maybe when the moon is right you’ll get some intelligent discourse, but most times? It goes straight to ad hominem and the equivalent of plugging their ears and screaming “LALALALALA!” real quick.

EDIT: worded better.

It’s saddens me that all of you guys are right. I swear, when Street Fighter X Tekken does get popular and people jump on the bandwagon. I’ll be there to remind them what it was like a few years ago. I guess that will make me a hipster, a salty one at that.

The way I see it:
SFxT is a great and fun game.
The uneducated trolls are not happy with it.
I’m happy that the uneducated trolls don’t play the game.
Less stress for me.

Am I the only person that sucks at this game but is decent at any other fighter? I don’t get it!

Because Vergil, Zero and Phoenix are too good. You need to play more top tiers.

I hate Blanka. Except for his mum.

Nah, until I rally sat down with this game I was horrific at it and better at pretty much anything else I played lol.

Now I’m at “I kinda’ suck” level in this game. See? Improvement! :rock:

I don’t even play UMVC3 too much. I personally love balnka and rolento, they feel crisp, and I like that.

Some matches of Dane and me teaming up. These matches are against Spiderflies (He won matches too, but I didn’t have them saved)
PS:There is coming one more video of Dane and me soon.
Also, make sure to check out the channel of HDJammerz for more sfxt footage!

Thanks.

Though I’m having a bitch of a time with the cLP, fMK link after 623HP~PP. Or is that just a raw 623HP?

Hey man your not the only one. I was a big fan of street fighter so i picked this game up. At first i was a runaway guile akuma, random special throwing (not uppercuts, i didnt know how to do an uppercut at the time) jumping fool.

Now im a comboin, AA’ing, patient little fucker.Don’t worry this game is different it just takes time. the best thing you can do right now is to dedicate yourself and time into this game. You’ll catch on.

Oh that reminds me… sorry to anyone that messaged me or invited me for matches yesterday, me and Don got in a ton of matches locally (wish I had a better recording device to actually show/upload them aarrrrggh), and I just forgot to take my 360 offline lol. I learned a few things.

  • I still suck ass against a good Hugo.
  • Nina is fun!
  • Pandora is starting to become a way of life, even though I didn’t get any Pandora wins yesterday I was definitely close (just dumb execution mistakes… fml)
  • Nina is hawt
  • I really need to work on my defense, and remembering to Alpha Counter when I need to tag out, avoid getting put in the corner, etc.
  • Nina hits HARD
  • Holy shit Lei has some annoying pressure (Don’s currently playing him on point). Also fuck Crane stance.
  • Nina and Juri respect each other! I know I know, has nothing to do with anything but I find that so cool when I pick a team! :-p
  • The Super Arts gems are pretty badass. Finally caved and bought the one I was missing (for the SF side I believe). You got me that time, Capcom. >__>
  • Nina is ha-- oh wait already covered that…

…so yeah, fun times, played for quite a few hours and felt like I improved a slight bit. Still working on this Juri/Nina team. The Cammy/Julia tam feels really solid, a and still rocking Juri/Law as well. LOL, I’m going to be in like seven character forums (Juri, Cammy, Law, Nina, Julia, Lili, Alisa)… :sweat:

This game has issues.

Most of the haters don’t have any idea what those issues are, and just assume that everything about the game sucks.

Agreed.

Still, YT comments are a special kind of hell. Not always (really video-dependent), but often.

Roknin are you using the Nina/juri pandora combo I posted in the… Nina? Thread (I think it was Nina combo thread) or are you doing something different? You sound like your juri uses the same gems I do as well. Super art damage and pandora damage. What is your 3rd? And what Nina gems? Since she is my point I figured meter gain and defense but she hits so hard that %damage gains seem so good

Lei is pretty good…people should play him.
