winning is good but playing with ur friends and winning all the time isnt fun… whenever a random players comes and beats u dosent that sometimes make u feel better than winning? what do u guys think?
i like “winning is good, winning with 50 wins streak is better”
It depends on the person you play. I have no problem losing to someone who was genuinely better than me, as long as they arent asses about it. I played an A-groove guy who only beat me once out of 5 matches. I wasn’t at all proud because the guy was an asshole who blamed N-Groove “cheese” on my victory every time. In the same day, I played a P-groove user who beat me in two out of the three matches we played. I still felt good walking away because he was cool about it and I think I did get quite a bit better just by playing him.
Most annoying thing in the world: people insulting you to their friends in a language they dont think you know.
Tell Yao Ming I said, “Ching chong yang wah ah so.” Thanks!
Losing is how you learn, so yes…when you lose, and you figure out why you lost, THEN you can strenghten your game…
vsazion…winning to many times makes you think less of the game…j wong is living proof.
when did he start thinking less of the games he plays
If you keep winning, you will keep doing the things you did to win and never improve.
If you lose, it’s because you’re doing things wrong, and you need to learn to stop doing those things and try new things, which makes you better.
If you keep using Cammy, Blanka and Sagat and continue to win, that’s fine. You’re not any better than the guy using a team of low- and mid-tiers who competes with you.
Strive to improve. Seeing yourself improve is what makes the game fun, not winning dozens of games with the same over-powered team.
On the note of using overpowered teams, there’s nothing like having some A-groove scrub using Blanka/Sakura/Bison going (and I do quote) “ROFL nubzor, N groove sucks! You use Vice? BWAHAHA lol. Iori and Kyo suck too, u r going to die.” And then I rape him with my first character (Vice). Using a team that isn’t completely top tier and winning just makes the win so much better.
Through playing CvS2, i’ve seen myself turn from a scrub who rolled around all day with Kim into, at least in my opinion, a proficient player. As Windy said, that makes the game fun and makes you feel good about playing it.
I used to take losing personally, now I study and adapt.
My reflexs just arent as quick as some peoples so I have to put more into trying to outthink my opponent now instead of just relieing on skills and instinct.
Somehow in the process I went from being someone who was strictly rushdown to a more methodical style. To bad it took me 3 years to realize this.
It is better, I use to rape people all day in Sc2. I thought nothing of it, I knew all those guys I raped would rape me in any Capcom fighter but I didn’t care. 20-30 win winning streaks daily and I was the man at SC2 was all i cared about. Sc2 then left the arcade and I started playing cvs2, and my scrubby Team Shoto got owned hard. Today I still get owned but at least I come close to winning and I no longer use shotos or capcom characters, considering the majority of the people who beat me use Capcom top tiers while I use SNK characters and I take them the distance is a win in my book.
Nope, a win is a win and a loss is a loss. There is a winner and a loser, and in this case you are still the loser.
what are you implying about snk characters?
SNK Characters aren’t top tiers, that’s all I’m saying.
Also must of the time I don’t get beat until that Capcom top tier comes into play. Not saying all Capcoms are top tier but there isn’t any SNK Top Tiers. Upper mids a plenty but there not as easy to use as Sagat Blanka,Guile,Chun-Li or shotos. Not all Capcoms are whores, I give mad respect to Sak players she’s not easy to initially learn. Maki, Zangief, Vega also get respect because those characters do take skill to master. Also give love to those who mess with low tier Capcoms as well. But Sagat and Blanka? Anybody can play with them and look like they know what they’re doing. 99% of the time thats what I end up losing to somebodies Blanka-2 or Sagat-2.
i think you give sagat and blanka too much credit.
snk characters are a lot better than you think.(esp. if you compare them to shotos)
