if you are looking for a challenge, just look in the SRK kaillera roster instead of starting a new thread that tries to accomplish the same thing
I’m not great, but do notice that I can own 80% of the people I play against. I play urien mainly, been trying to learn akuma.
theres no big deal about using keyboard.
If I’m better than the person I’m playing, why would I be an ass about it? That’s not going to help with them get any better, or even play the game more. I’d rather help them better themselves and enjoy the game more at higher levels.
Keyboard is hard for.I played for like an hour and still couldn’t get in the rhythm. Do you play joystick on left and buttons on right like a stick or the opposite?
i rarely do good over kaillera. the delay really kills me. hard to get used to online play when u usually play offline
I use the ESDF keys for movement and the JKLIOP for punches and kicks. It’s defintly much harder then using a pad or stick but you can get good at it with practice. For high level play of SF3S it’s useless though. 360s are impossible to do consistently enough. Even 180s can miss sometimes.
No you did, you said you were not going to use it again, which is good of course. It was quite a while ago so its ok if you don’t remember. Hope to play you soon!
Its crazy how low the player quality is on kaillera. I mean, the typical kaillera player is worse than the worst players that ever play at arcades. Its freaking boring. I wish there was a way of putting a mssage on your game like “good players only” or whatever. But then you’d probably not be able to play…
Edit: It helps to give yourself challenges like “only use roundhouse” or “Im only allowed to win by time over”.
It’s just a thought, but if you’re not finding adequate competition in your game of choice why not play a game you’re less skilled at? You might have to consider the possibility that your mad rude skillz in game X are too much for mere mortals, and that you’re just THAT damn good.
Another solution might be to act as a mentor/teacher for newer/scrubby players. You’d probably see some people continue their scrubby ways and others grow. I think some of the skill imbalance on kaillera has to do with the community not being all that friendly. I’ve been lucky in that sense. I mostly play Last Blade 2, and most of the better players are reasonably polite and happy to help newer players learn the game. The times I’ve tried playing Alpha 3 it was n00b this and scrub that…
This topic reminds me of why I’m glad I can play this game offline regularly.
I remember an instance in the lobby where someone requested “I want to play a good player at 3S”
I pretty much owned him.
Back in the day, another guy in KOF2000 wanted to play a good person, and I OCVed him. He asked if I was from Hong Kong 
I never say I am good or bad because of expectations to people. I say I am average because I compare myself to TRUE experts at the game, which I am DEFINITELY NOT.
I do get a lot of people surprised that I play on keyboard though.
I already do that in A3 (after Kyokuji was kidnapped by WOW). Probably why I’ve reluctantly switched over to 3s so I can remember what it was like to get owned
You guys forgot the amount of scrubs and how bad they were in the arcade…
A lot depends on the game. The more popular games have more scrubs.
Eh, usually you can tell someone who knows what they are doing but are getting messed over with lag, than some a lot of people who are just plan bad.
Like people who jump the entire round regardless of what you are doing, or full screen supers, etc.
It’s not that hard if you’ve played them for a while on it.
Me, I never really played a 2D fighter on console (mostly because capcom kisses sony’s ass so nintendo can’t get any love) so keyb was the next best thing.
I’d like to know just who the hell that was bitching me out for picking SA1 Ken.
This -same- person ALSO had problems with pretty much everything I did, including A) trying to call Cr.Forward -> Hadoken ‘random’, and B) saying HKs were ‘worthless’. Of course, I should probably have just stood there all round after that, as that’s what he’d pretty much expect. Never mind the fact he was picking Yun and spamming Genei patterns all over.
Just because I don’t follow the established trends doesn’t mean I “suck”.
Personally, I don’t use Supers too often, and when I do, I want it to count. Reppa gets 5.6 EXs on the button, and that difference to Shippu’s 6 (on the nose) is made up with a single Cr.Forward->HK (and more, if you want to get picky).
Now, for losing 7% the EX ability (at full stock), I -GAIN- roughly as much in SA damage.
If that isn’t balanced enough, I don’t know what is.
Now that I’ve made my points as to why SA1 is viable, someone counter as to what makes SA3 ‘the only’ SA to use.
^---- Spoken like a true scrub :looney:
No use in picking a different SA just to be “special”. SA3 is better in every way possible.
On the flipside, if they were losing to your SA1, they have nothing to complain about.
Reppa sucks. His ex’s aren’t needed that much unless you like jumping with an ex tatsu or low forward ex hadou which can be punished if used incorrectly. The super does not pay up to how much meter is required for it. Offline, SA3 is too much of a threat compared to SA1. If he had hadou’s like RYU then you’d have a good point.
Ok, I’ll play your little game…just once. Let’s see…
I remember fighting flotiball about a year ago, and he was accusing me of cheating even though the auto-fire detector kept going off for him. Mind you, he was getting ocved every match, and he insisted that the detector was broken and that I was the one cheating. Then he dropped from the game after the 15th OCV, left the server, changed his name (I was admin so I already knew it was the same guy under a new name) and joined my game again.
Not nice, right? Stop trolling.
