^^^bullshit. mid screen lp dp’s became prevalent when online punishes became sparse
do not hit stuff if you get mad.
i punched the floor while i was doing pushups trying to burn off some rage and i broke my hand.
i could not play for 7 weeks because of the cast.
after that i saw a penn and teller episode that called bullshit on anger management and said that if you try to burn off rage by hitting things or smashing stuff, you actually increase your propensity toward angry outbursts.
acting calm actually helps you be calm, even if you feel like smashing something.
taking a break, deep breaths and counting to 10 helps too.
also, your emotions fuck up your execution and decisions so finding ways to squash that anger will probably help your game.
cause of frustration: failure to throw escape (despite thinking the command was there in time)
reaction: kind of take fingers off buttons and crosspad and look down at controller briefly

I got this game pretty late (the gamestop sale), and actually started playing it even later (I had something to do during the summer, so I ended up starting a while after that).
ducks thrown tomatos and catcalls of “09 poster!”
Everyone is either pants-poopingly better than me or able to beat me simply by trading hits (I main Akuma) and turtling (albeit skillfully), or I can curbstomp them and feel like a jerk for doing it.
Progress is slow for a variety of reasons, mostly because all the players who are at my skill level are leaving for other games in droves, and/or were rarely on to begin with.
It doesn’t help that no one on the entire internet, SRK wiki included, seems to have any information on the differences between LP, MP, and HP Hadoukens with regards to recovery time and fireball speed aside from describing them relative to one another.
I realize that, this being the internet, this thread is likely to draw a lot of flames, but I really do want to like this game.
SF2 was a big part of my childhood, but this is getting really frustrating for me.
Yeah that anger management stuff can make you more prone to violence (not to mention more prone to huting yourself), and it can screw with your thinking as well.
I get mad when I play online right after watching some epic video of some Fuerte tactic then get wake-up shoryu’d or scrub’d and realize it’s impossible online.
This, I almost always get angry when playing CM or Ranked. Almost never get angry against people I know offline or in player matches.
Edit: Oh and yeah, I can get really fucking angry when I play some scrub with a broken ‘walk backwards’ key/button (funny, the broken button seems to change depending on the direction they are facing) and never ever ever ever walk forward. This isn’t just scrubby chargers or fireball spammers, I’ve seen almost every char with or without long range attacks do it. Just back back back back back back, even if I win it’s fucking annoying, the ones without fireballs or long range attacks doesn’t even do any damage, so why do it?.
My reaction to it isn’t very entertaining though, I usually just tab out until I feel like playing again… Or just do something else.
The thing that most pisses me off is when I fight against someone who does the same thing over and over, and despite knowing how to stop it, I just can’t.
I’m a 3D fighter veteran, so I’m used to whiffs and high-damage moves being relatively unsafe. So, I was shocked out of my gourd the first time that I ran across things like purposely-whiffed DPs that lead into DP > FADC > Ultra. I eventually got used to it (somewhat), but the fact that shenanigans were so powerful was something I had to get used to. SF requires you to be EXTREMELY precise when dealing with certain tactics (such as tick throws or option select), since most characters have ordinary moves that come out in 5 frames or less while the typical 3D fighter requires 10 or more frames to do relatively safe attacks.
This is the reason, I suspect, that so many of us reach a point where we either win easily or lose horribly. You get to the point where shenanigans don’t work as effectively against you, but perfect execution and knowledge of the frame data will destroy you.
I get mad when I read retarded threads like this one, but for some reason I can’t stop.
^ Thats the same as whats on the wiki; it has one listing for “fireball”, one for “EX fireball” and four for Shaku and it’s EX variants… surely Akuma’s 3 regular fireballs (LP, MP, and HP versions) have SOME differences between them…
Guile(me) vs. Sagat(punk)
First Round, it’s Flowchart Theater. Jump back, and keep me away. I get in and start mashing Fierce and SB to get the dizzy. I taunt: “Is that the best you’ve got?” Then I win the round. Round 2, I’m taking dumb damage (this is Sagat we’re talking about) but manage to beast him when I get down to about 10% health. I combo super into ultra for the first time and the match get’s down to the wire. I choked and he chips me with random knee. I don’t remember how the final round went but I lost the match. Later he sends me a message along the lines of “HAHAHA, You lost, dumbass.” I message him back about getting his top tier ass dominated by low tier, and he messages back saying I’m really stupid.
I lost 5 points for that match, and I did really well againist this 30000 GP Sagat, but nothing in the system will reflect that in the slightest.
Hooray for Champ mode.
Worst post ever. Congratulations on losing with Guile and crying about it on a forum.
i threw my tournament stick once cuz my gf was bitching and i lost a final to a scrub.
and I ignore my ps3 for 2 days ( thats my punishment to it ) everytime i win a final and the losing points glitch happens on championship mode.
News flash: If you lose to a scrub, you are an even bigger scrub.
PS. I don’t think your mom counts as a “gf”.
Got hit mid bloody high claw. I was sad…
congrats on getting your period…geez you bitch more then my ex
I thought this thread was about ‘anger/frustration stories and habits’, not ‘being a good troll when you’re butthurt over neg rep’. Get your own thread for that shit.
I have a very real disease. It’s called DP-paranoia. I just get frightened into complete inaction against shotos online because you just never know when the hell they’re going to DP. It’s crippling, my son doesn’t even want me driving him to school anymore. He rides with his friend’s dad. His friend’s dad doesn’t even play Street Fighter. He only plays Arcana Heart. Laugh all you want, heartless motherfuckers.
lol!
Generally, I don’t get pissed off cuz I lose a match. However, I get mad, angry, borderline retard rampage upset when I lose cuz of stupid mistakes I make. When I’ve been practicing something in training for a fucking hour, and when it comes down to put up or shut up (online match, or offline match) I don’t execute what I’ve been practicing.
Or I get caught up in the match and completely forget or freeze…err, brain fart and look like a complete scrub cuz I don’t know how to react to something, or can’t execute a set up, a combo…shit like that.
As an example, I’m at G2-B, and I’m fairly competent with Guile and Ryu, and recently (about a month or so ago) I started using Abel. When using Abel, I swear I could pass for a damn retard! I…just don’t know how to react to certain shit.
Points don’t mean shit, IMO. However, I was nearly at 3K points (battle points) and when I started using Abel, my points went down to less than 200. That’s a huge drop. Mind you, when I lose with Abel, I lose to assholes that just popped in the game for the 1st time (0 points!). I could care less about the points but the way that I lose, when they just spam one move the whole game and I don’t know how to counter or react to it.
I still can’t get a grip on using Abel consitently. Sometimes I write poetry with him. Other times…I just don’t know what the fuck to do.
LMAO!!!
My kids don’t talk to me when I’ve lost a few in a row with Abel.
