99% of the time they do. People thinking pop offs and random shit is an every day occurrence are out of their mind or are online warriors.
I talk a lot of shit. Some people may look at the shit talking I do on SRK and think “that dude is tripping balls. I bet he’s all pussy in real.” Those people would be incredibly wrong. I may not say " oh golly jee" but I will give some dude hella props if he hits me with some really awesome or really weird shit. I do so because as a fighting game player I can appreciate the ingenuity which goes into creating something like that and the execution you need to pull it off. Does this make me a pussy?
Because I am at a point where I’ll give myself enough props to say that I am “ok” at fighting games. If I see something like that Imma ask you all about it. Is my willingness to learn also some pussy shit? Your post is so twisted we could sell in a pretzel stand. The “hard barrier to get through” is a bunch of nonsense that boils down to “if you’re willing to work, we are willing to teach. But we do expect you to put work and not waste our time.” You are apparently the dick that would take somebody willing to learn and just discourage him/her from playing.
I think that’s a baseless generalization. One of the reasons I stopped going to the weekly local stuff was because it was so common. In fact, there were a few people that go so personal that their argument came to blows.
not baseless, 2) you can’t lump in drama that is caused by having a small group of people spending a lot time with something that is inherent to the scene. Fairly sure that there most of the scenes have dude with some legit beef or utter hate for each other; I know mine has it and some the near by scenes do too. But it isn’t something exclusive to the FGC and/or created by it.
Maybe not baseless, but surely inaccurate. You’re assuming I am one of those people, but I was going to weekly large size (40-50+ people) gatherings for a long time.
I never said it was created by, just that it is abundant in. I gave one example, and I can sight many. Nearly every time there is a major tournament there is some kind of dramatic display of childishness that middle-school kids would be ashamed of. Just recently I saw some guy crying about losing a money match and what did people do? They went to film him and harass him about it. They proceeded to put him down further to the point that it was just plain cruelty.
If that’s what you want in a group, then I am happy not to be a part of it.
The fuck are you talking about, they barely told him anything, and the camera man tells him that is nothing to cry about and tries to comfort him.
And that kind of behavior is present on any type of social activities, it sucks that it was (as you seem to point) something quite frequent in your community
People who Hate on Soul Calibur and its Community and Its Fighting Engine and Balance, when they a) Never played The Game(s) and b) They don’t know Jack Shit of what they talk about.
Soul Calibur is the Best. I have to hate on all the FGCs, They’re all a bunch of Dicktards. But they Cool IRL
Is there anything wrong with the ‘Bryan’ video. The guy lost money trying to get people to play him seriously. If that 90 bucks that he lost got him experience that he would not get otherwise and he can be a better player from it there is nothing wrong with that. Its like paying venue fees for a few months all in one day.
To to the things that annoy:
Players that do the same move online and when they get beat send ragemail. I dont even know how to react, what did they expect?
Ya that was probably me. I do it because it’s funny watching people turn the game into “please hit me with your meter building moves so the round will end,” so I have to find ways to whiff my moves while they’re trying to get hit.
I hate how certain members of the SC community are quick to call for nerfs and bans (and I’m sure there are folk within that same community that would agree with me as well).
That being said, my biggest issue with Smash has always been that things are nerfed and banned and changed up so much that they’re essentially different games than what’s put out. Not to mention the “Regional Rules” bit that happened for a bit. It’s possible that bits like that never got me worried or noticing stage bans in Soul Calibur.
That pretty much turned me away from the game. I couldn’t associate myself with all that confusion and disarray. That and Namco stopped supporting the game.
I recall occasionally bringing up ST Akuma and whether or not so-and-so character is at that level argument on 8WR, sadly it fell on deaf ears (for the most part).
This should never be a reason for quitting a game.
They actually have, 8WR split off from the old SoulCalibur.com forum when it started getting more casual (and Namco started taking more control). Though in this case, it was for the better since 8WR became the dominant SC site/community.
