The Official Ranting Thread

People want to win. These characters help them to win the easiest I guess.

Why use a character like Asuka or Yoshimitsu and try to get good with them when you can just derp your way to victory with characters like Zangief or Hugo? (No offense intended to actual Zangief of Hugo players.)

ggs to you too.

Wtf is Akuma’s super so hard to land? For it’s level of difficulty, it should do more damage. some characters get easy ways to combo into their super like Kazuya and Ryu.

Fuck this

2nd day I can’t tech throws for some reason, makes me look cheap. Damn it. Just as annoying as “EACD” (Eat All Cross-ups Day).

I only got Ryan Hunter once on XBL and we never got matched up in ranked again after that. I played you twice but you were teamed up so I never really got to play you alone but you guys gave me a tough time. ARGH! Had I still been jobless I’d be glad to scrub my way into A+ but I give up, too much work, too little people to play. Sigh

Feel free to add me on PSN, my ID is the same as my forum name. I’ll be on this weekend. I’M GONNA TAKE MY RAGE OUT ON EVERYONE ON PSN!
BEATS CHEST

Let’s be buddies :slight_smile:

Well first time I lost to a Gief today. It was mostly my fault for activating pandora a bit early when he was barely in range for my Ex Sunflower Lance set-up. We both had below 25% health with 20 seconds left…I knew if one of my girls got hit once by that juggernaut it was over so I had to bet it all on pandora. Oh well, I can’t really consider that a loss…he just got lucky I made some mistakes and didn’t expect him to mash out lariat on wake-up.

Teach me your gief slaying ways :open_mouth:

Equip meter and power gems, knock him down once and throw him everytime on wake-up when he’s below 1 bar. By the time he’s up to 1 bar he’ll be used to throws, neutral jump if your character has a good jump and punish his Ex SPD or you can Cr. Mk and start a nice combo since he’ll be expecting throws. Honestly it’s all about making him waste that Ex SPD, so you can go back to having free opportunities for damage. You never want him to get 2 bars because then he can punish you for free anytime he wants.

i figured we played a few times? Who was i partnered with?
I mean i could go for it if i really wanted too but atm i’m just enjoying going on here and there.

What happens if he backdashes or rolls?

20 points from 8k. XBL kicks me near the end of a match I’m winning.

Couts as a disconnect against me.

now 120 points back.

FML

EDIT: Got it back though. Guess that was the game’s way of saying “hey, just… get in a few more matches eh?”

If you think he’s going to roll just stand in range of cr. MK on both sides of his wake-up points. He can’t lariat and he won’t Ex SPD if he’s trying to escape. Usually if they’re rolling it means they’ve been thrown at least twice. I noticed Gief players don’t like rolling at all. It’s a last resort option for them.

wait i never see any cammys… share some. I’ll trade ya some Julias, Elenas or Kens

none taken since i use that team to troll.

cool just be aware that i dont have anywhere near as good spacing or footsies as you. I play solidly without taking huge risks (most of the time) and am highly meter conservative (while building meter fast).

You can have all Cammy’s and I’ll take those Elena’s. Screw flowchart Ken and definitely don’t want Julia with that derp Cr. MK (Ryan is gonna get pissed that I called it “derp” but whatever this is the ranting thread)!

NAH FUCK JULIA! I hate her so much. I can deal with all your characters said above but julia…urgh my friend has made me utterly hate her, even though i play jay cee in tag 2 lol.

I’d like to retract a rant from earlier since i was ignorant of what EWGF actualy was…

EWGF isnt a problem. It’s fine.

Fuck his chain combo bullshits: Twin Fang variations, Demon’s Wrath and Reign of Terror. Those 3 need to be nerfed. The mid attacks shouldnt KD on hit (counterhit is fine). The low attacks should retain same properties. Pushback on block should also be reduced. Either that or the ambiguity needs to be removed with a large increase in chip damage and non-lows safe on block.

EWGF doesnt bother me because:
A. it requires a good bit of skill to execute
B. it’s reactable
C. it doesnt have stupid properties

Apologies for the misdirected hatred.

Only the noob kazuya’s will spam those lame 50/50’s. I do agree with them not having knockdown properties on normal hit. That’s pretty dumb and creates some stupid wake-up situations. At least you don’t play Xiaoyu who has absolutely no wake-up options. Well actually she has two options: Guess right or die.

If anything is derp it’s cody’s cr.lk! it’s like ryu cr.mk but faster and safer!

TKMcIntosh or something, the name ain’t quite coming to me…unless I’m right. I know you had Lili(duh) and he was using Nina. The matches were close though.

Edit: LOL@TKMcIntosh! The guy you were playing with name was FTK TheComputer. The hell I get McIntosh from?:rofl:

My Nina needs that get out of jail free meter if she’s knocked down…SOLD!

NO BECAUSE I’M AN ELITIST BASTARD!:arazz:
Jk! I discriminate against Zangiefs and Rufus players though.:nono:
Seriously though add me, I lonely on PSN.:frowning:

Eh that sucks, PSN did something similar to me except it actually recorded me winning a match and ranking up to C rank only to snatch 200 points back when I got to the menu screen and stuck D+ rank right back on me. This is why I’m gonna be an endless warrior. Ranked match and I just don’t get along.
