The Official Ranting Thread

Why won’t my Internet connection get along with Europeans? :frowning:

The same way why sometimes, when I connect to someone from the US of A or a place like Brazil, the game looks similar to like running a Crysis game on an old Desktop from the year 2000 only without the obvious change in graphics quality.

Or in the case of me and EMR, we can’t even see each other. :frowning:

Australian players are an absolute nightmare for me. I made the mistake of accepting one yesterday just because I saw 2 bars and deeply regretted it. I swear it was like a virtual slideshow and I got utterly destroyed. Never again.

Usually the slideshow effect has something more to do with your opponent’s PC grade rather than connection. I remember playing against a guy with a rank D PC but 2 bars worth of connection and boy was that the slowest match of my lifetime. I’m even got tempted to rage quit during the match as I literally gnashing my teeth all thoughout.

As for now, the only countries where I get a guaranteed decent connection are with Japan and Hong Kong. For some reason I don’t meet the Japanese players eventhough they’re online and are also queued in my player list. It’s either a connection conflict or they filtered their search in a way that they’ll only meet Japanese players.

I’m getting tempted to change my flag to Japan so that I could meet them in ranked. It seems to be that there’s a substantial number of Japanese players in the PC version.

Is there a way to reset your bp back to zero? I got to B rank when the game came out, but stopped playing it for a while and now I suck. It’s really not motivating to lose all these points in Ranked, but I don’t find many Endless Lobbies in Europe.

I don’t think there is, outside of starting a new account (which is a ridiculous notion of course if you’re on XBL). If there is I’d love to know it as well just in case.

If you’re on PSN you can make another account. Also if you suck that badly you can always drop a rank if you lose enough and you’ll get to fight lower ranked opponents more often that way.

I want to win $50 bucks for writing the Nina guide on Eventhubs. I think I’ll do that on Friday… ^v^

People on the mic on PSN can be funny. Some guy asked me if I wanted him to go easy on me. I demolished him and then he got mad and got into an argument with his friend who told him “That’s what you get for talking shit.” :rofl:

You know what I want to rant about? How come my matches never show up on ssf4evo’s or ironmonk’s videos? Maybe I just suck, but Jibbo/Ryan Hunter/Robofobe are all up there.
Sad face…

Showing up on that YouTube means that much to folks… Don’t get it :confused:

I only end up fighting Ryu/Ken teams online. What I wouldn’t give for a little variety. The tatsu nerf did absolutely nothing to nuke the Ryu and Ken population…nothing.

What’s up with Dudley players? Half the Dudley players I run into play him like a charge character. Backing away or couching hoping to land machine gun blow. After an few alpha counter they wise up.

I was using Lili and Julia, I switched to Xiaoyu once or twice, though. Idk, I actually do better against Gief or it’s just that I haven’t seen any pro Giefs yet.

This game shouldn’t have included Ken or Akuma.Why not put Alex and Q in their place?
Shoto-teams are just dumb.

yes to both. If it wasn’t for sfxt i wouldn’t have gotten tag 2.

Uh…small rant. Nothing too huge. Welp yesterday i was fighting Inanu and i was close to killing his ryu, like mere chip damage and his hp gem kicks and and saves his but and i’m frantically trying to off his ryu before he tags out and i fail -.-;;;;;;;;
I hate hp recovery gems as much as i hate defense gems. Jeeeezus lol.

If you’re looking for lobbies, friend me and hit me up, I’m in London. My Xbox tag is Wulfsten. :slight_smile:

im a little upset this game died so fast…its really fun to watch

Casual fans would complain. People were pissed that Capcom originally wanted to not include Ryu and Ken in SF3: new Generation.
