When people abuse handoken
When infrit has that demon look, it disturbs me
When Fchamp won’t take off his damn sunglasses while fighting.
When people hate on mortal kombat because it is old
When poeple use a Ryu|Ken team on Xtekken
When you lag online and can’t connect combos because your opponent is on dial-up mcdonalds wifi connection.
Nope, just throws. Oh, and Arakune’s land shark. Fuck that move. I frequently tell my friend that we could be in evo grand finals, and he could beat me by just doing land shark over and over again.
Why do you think I hate that?! >:( The tech window and indication should make it simple, but for some reason, I can’t tech for shit, even though I can even do it in Persona. It’s like some kind of reverse psychology shit or something. Make something easier so I’ll mess it up more often.
-the MvC1 ggpo community, and how they think they are godlike because they know how to do infinites with the help of macros and button bindings
-what’s left of the MvC2 community and how everyone goes “MvC3 sucks, bring back MvC2 as a tourney game” but no one wants to come out and play it, or worse, they leave DURING GRAND FINALS TO GO WATCH A MVC3 MONEY MATCH
-Vampire savior players and how they dont just call the game darkstalkers >:(
-Anime game players who get mad when people call their games anime games
-Capcom fanboys who pretend to be hype when they see a KOF/Tekken combo video but then go back to ABC combos in MvC3
-Myself, for going “KOF is too hard” and going back to MvC2
Annoyed by execution fetishists and people who put links on pedestals (as a design choice).
EDIT - To clarify, if you want to, say, play Rufus in SF4, learn that useful s.LK to s.HP link, or if you’re playing Morrigan in UMvC3, learn how to fly/unfly cancel your fireballs. Play to win, or pick a character who is less execution-heavy.
HOWEVER, people who claim these execution fetish decisions are conducive to sound design – especially when backed by the “only people who can do those moves get an opinion” fallacy that holds no weight in objective reality – piss me off. And are dead wrong.
I really shouldn’t get peeved at this, but it still bugs me when I repeatedly run into the same player online and they are of a much higher skill level than myself (and don’t change their playstyle to match). At least when I play someone who doesn’t seem to know much I can tone down my competitive playing. I can’t do much more than attempt to learn against high tier people and inevitably take long combo strings while trying to tech the entire match, which is just kind of boring. Then again, it only makes it more magical when I do run into players where it’s an even match with a lot of back and forth action.
Also myself for picking Mitsuru pretty much constantly in P4A. I’ve never been into the “main character” concept and usually enjoy getting to know as many as I can (makes playing random doable, which I think is fun, though I do tend to have some minor favorites), but P4A broke me
