played a game against a juri player a couple weeks back now, me playing as sim, anyway in the first round i got pretty much decimated, didnt get many hits in but whatever, 2nd round i managed to win, and then the 3rd round i pretty much destroyed him, he lost about half of his life just needlessly jumping into my anti air moves and then not even blocking when he landed from the reset, so more free damage for me there.
anyway, after the match he sends me
‘how about cash to fix ur shit connection’
now the lag wasnt even that bad, sure it was there, but not enough to massively effect play, i was still able to block most of his crossups on reaction and all my anti airs were coming out when i wanted them, this had been maybe my 2nd game of the day usually if the lag is bad then ill stop pretty early on.
i sne t him one saying ‘normally my connection is fine so get off my case’
then he sends me a big long spiel saying
’figures really - sim player lags the game so he can mash FP ftw - 1st round was fine, then came the lag-ur obviously an inconsiderate fuck on a shared connection or downloading porn, fuck off back to single player where you belong dickhead’
so i replied along the lines of ‘if i wanted to really abuse lag i would play as ken and spam lp srk, lag had nothing to do with fact you kept jumping into my anti airs and not even block on the reset. i have more of a life to lag a game on purpose so i can win.’ something like that.
seriously though, lag is expected online occasionally, and ive played some REALLY laggy games before thats more like a slideshow than SF, and ive never once felt the urge to send abusive messages accusing the other player of doing it on purpose.
he never replied after the message i sent actually…
