I just won a match and got the message “barrow roll nub” I have no idea what it means…
Barrell roll, perhaps? Bison, Blanka, Honda, etc.
Are you Scoot McGee?
I was playing somebody yesterday named Scoot, he had a beastly Guile but I didnt get to give him props.
If your out there Scoot, you beastly dood!
I’m not very good at all, and I’ve already received my share of hate messages already.
I got a “go to hell spamming nub” message after beating an Akuma with Ken. I guess timing my fireballs is “nub” like behavior.

Scoot is Captain Ryu here and on PSN. And yeah, he is beastly.

Maybe it’s just cuz I’m popular on the forums but I’ve noticed lately that good SRK players have been entering random rooms that I enter right after I start playing. Like I’ll enter a room with absolute nobodies…beat the crap out of most of them and they leave and all of a sudden SRK peepz and other nice players start showing up. Quite a few SRK peepz I’ve already got on my friends list so that helps as well. It’s not really a matter of a “magical” room. People just know who I am I think and then before I know it only one person in the room isn’t an adept SF player from SRK or elsewhere. Rarely I’ll get a dead room situation where I simply clear the room to the point where there’s only one other scrub in the room. Then I’ll just leave and look for a room with better players or friends.
The social aspect of player matches can be pretty shallow and testosterone induced but when you find a good room you can really start to appreciate it. When I say social…I guess I’m including the simple interaction of any kind between players.
BTW are you playing on PSN or LIVE? If you’re on Live send me a friend request sometime (once I make some space on my list) so we can play some games.
@ Higher Jin. I see where you’re coming from. Some people don’t have the patience to wait that long just to play again. I guess I’m just one of those types that can wait for paint to dry but I really seem to enjoy the wait for the same reason others hate it. It makes you think about your loss that much more and keeps you more worried about losing. Even if only one other good person is in the room if you can’t keep up with them you’re spending a lot of time watching them beat the scrubs. I like to mess around more than I should in fighting games trying out tricks on scrubs or strong players and the threat of losing and having to feel bad about my loss for a while keeps me on my toes. Plus if I’m in a room with a lot of SRK players…it can be a real fun social event and the wait isn’t as bad.
I find as long as it’s 2/3 rounds things go by quick enough. Some players (especially the nubs and scubs) like to open up 6 man 3/5 round rooms and that can take forever if they don’t know any combos and just want to get into fireball wars all day. Even then…I just wait for my turn and then I’m playing forever. I don’t know why…but I also seem to like beating up lesser players in this game. Usually I’m also trying to scavenger hunt for better players but there’s something about beating up crap players with huge egos that’s always interesting for me. :lol:
Hey man I’m on XBL and I haven’t seen you up there yet, you must only play player matches. I have bad experiences with those because like a lot of people say, most of the time you’re stuck in a room full of terrible players. I’ll send you a friend request so I can find what room you’re in, so we can play a little bit. I’ve started trying to seek out all the good players on XBL because I feel like I’m not learning anything anymore playing all the bad players. Oh yeah my GT is alibaba00
Got this in response to my Ochio…
Filipinojo : “homo”
Mentioned that in the room we were in and got this in response.
Filipinojo : “you are the biggest n*r p****y t t waffle mc douche bag of all history…and im gonna lay a huge cleveland steamer on your moms chest and then me and my friends are gonna gang rape her in a closet…so suck my d

read the thread title and my post. thats the message I got from scoot after I beat him. FIRST ONE!!:encore:
Aha! I understand now!~ :looney:
Barrell roll, perhaps? Bison, Blanka, Honda, etc.
Ah yeah, makes sense. Thanks.

Wow, I haven’t gotten a single message after even several matches with the same person. A couple of people have asked to add me after it was evident we were pretty evenly matched.
I hadn’t considered sending messages to the sorry pricks who quit right before a defeat. I think I’ll have to implement that tactic. That crap pisses me off more than anything.
As far as the “cheese” and cheap tricks…I just accept it. Do whatever it takes to win, right? I agree wholeheartedly with that mantra. If I can’t figure out how to beat a Blanka or Gief that does literally nothing but jump straight up and kick over and over again, then I’m the one that needs a better game.
i beat someone 30-2 with ryu and all i got was a damn friend request. im starting to think it’s impossible to get hate mail on PSN
So you guys get hate in open rooms? I play cheap no matter what, but it is not like the shit is ranked or even matters that much.

Apparently Dekor (the dude who wouldn’t stop head-butting my foot) reads the thread here as well. When I encountered him today, he kept bitching at me about forums. “Go run to the forums” and such.

i think i played your honda a couple nights ago. i’ve only had a handful of quality matches in the ranked games but playing you was one of them.
for some reason whenever i see an akuma playing in the ranked matches it gets on my nerrrves. i usually use boxer so i walk up and let the tick throwing commence. while i’m doing that i tell them over the mic that a reversal shoryu will get them out, but they’re too busy screaming to hear anything i say. they usually drop just before the last match is over. i always send a voice message saying something along the lines of, “when you drop, i still get the win on my record, so thanks!”
^^
I finally got my first hate mail recently after a series of blanka bites - plain ol “you suck f4g0t” (exact spelling).
