long post trying to defend scoops
[details=Spoiler]I understand what scoops is trying to say. it’s not so much those teams + capcomAAA that’s the annoyance, it those teams + capcom + online that’s the problem
I have ran into scrubbier/worse santhraxes online than the others I’ve played in person. there are the ones who just fly (storm, or sent, or BH (jump in his case)) and constantly call capcom. with the lag making their characters warp, making my own character warp, and actually going back in time and deciding certain actions did not take place is a big problem when you have capcom assist filling up a major part of the screen.
It’s not even that I’m running into capcom, I’m just stuck there or trying my damndest to avoid him without much option with these high priority characters (they are in their range where they have the priority + capcom) trying to get in. I may get in and get a hit or some blockstun, but with all the online shit, capcom still fucks me up.
I have to try my hardest not to lose against the santhraxes (scrubs, BH teams, etc.) I’m sure I would beast offline. Sometimes I do and it’s really annoying when you have almost no options against these people who sometimes clearly play with online tactics (full screen AHVB anyone? when I’m not even throwing anything out or can be chipped to death…lol this person was using lagthrax too)
preppy, I think your statement is correct but offline only. these types of teams+playing can give mags some major trouble. while it may be harder to block him online, it is also much harder for mags or others to get in online too. like stupidly hard from some of the shit I see (BH/sent/tron teams have never been scarier offline)
I’m not saying it’s not possible to win, or that some mag players are able to beat these players…but saying that I’m losing (or mostly…coming close to losing) to players that would not give me that big of an issue offline. If I manage to get a hit I have to pray that online doesn’t fuck me up otherwise I’m back to square one all over again stuck on the other side while they only fly + press capcom if I move, because they know I don’t want to risk getting a bullshit hit by capcom (sometimes cyc or tron)
in those cases, I would say it makes sense for some to quit the game, because it really is stupid. I’ve already posted about this elsewhere, but this post is mostly to defend scoops’ argument as I see where he is coming from
megaman, BH, tron, spiral, bunnyhopping etc. is much better online too (unless I manage to get first hit…but that’s also nerfed :P). Playing against vidness can be a pain sometimes heh, but the annoyance really does not compare to some of the lagthrax, scrub, bh/sent/cap online playstyles I’ve seen[/details]
