just wait for the patch and hate mail will find you again.
on the surface yea that is all it is but it has deeper meanings as do most gestures, which i find to be the equivalent to say, pointing and laughing at someone or putting people down in front of others on purpose. between friends its all well and good but total strangers doing it to you is not cool. its even more sad when said player loses most times he plays me.
when you only do it in retaliation though its totally ironic 
Well, I’ve just received my first bout of hate mail. Coming from P0ng83, he rage quit in the middle of a match.
3v3, I was close to ending his third character when he rage quit.
I was slightly bewildered, so here’s how it went.
Me: ?
Him: terrible netcode.
(ironically there was very little lag for an 83 ping)
Me: That makes no excuse to rage quit. That’s very unsportsmanlike.
Him: :yawn:
Me: No wonder you can’t play, you’re sleepy! Try waking yourself up next time.
Never thought I would receive hatemail at any rate.
That’s not hatemail…
I would count it as such. Well, at least unsportsmanlike behavior. That, and I dislike rage quitters on fighting games.
Why don’t people ever get mad at me? >.> I try really hard, but I’ve never gotten any hate mail. Maybe I should stop adding everybody that I play?
I was playing a dude named Eliaz99zz (or something like that). In our second match I realized he was talking on a mike. I used my Painwheel and pressured him in the corner, I guess he didn’t like it because I could slightly hear him screaming on the mike. when round 2 ended and the play again menu came up I could hear him better. He said “You like keeping me in the corner dont you?(…) If I ever encounter you again I will quit…” Then he quit.
“ggs bro.” Was my response as always.
Now when I see him I’ll join his room, just to see how he reacts.
People gotta post in this thread again. 
SG players I encounter are too polite. One guy I encountered yesterday seemed pretty cocky when he messaged me between our fights “I need to stop watching the news to fight you” and proceeded to stomp me. He lady-teabagged my characters every round he won, too. But when I messaged him after the games he wasn’t a doucher at all.
OMG last night it happened to me.
I fought him since for all of 30 minutes he was the only one there. After a few games he stopped doing anything but walking back to the corner. I actually thought he was trying to learn to block Filia’s mixups.
Then he leaves and tells me “people have told me about you. if you ever join my room again i’ll forfeit”
To which at first I replied “um ok”
But then I couldn’t contain myself and said “i’m just confused as to why you kept hitting play again or why you misrepresented yourself as a casual when you’re clearly not. I was under the impression that you were trying to learn but ok”.
Why do people think that “casual” means “beginner” or “intermediate” in any way? It seems that more often than not a casual room will have someone who knows combos, resets, mixups… I join those rooms so I can play with characters I don’t usually play as, but then I’m screwed royally and my limiter comes off lol
It’s meant as “FG casual”, but people can mistake it for “casual gamer”. I thought it was a slightly misleading name when i started SG. Since they already have beginner and expert, why not just use intermediate?
This! Just put beginner or Practice!
And the reason he didn’t quit is because he wanted to win one round off you before he left. He said that to me when he beat my Cerebella.
I’m curious to know what people does this guy play? He sounds like a prince.
Wow… sadly he didn’t get that from me.
And that was with Filia/Fortune. Mostly Filia.
Because “Intermediate” was removed in the patch.
Seriously, check it out. You can’t set rooms to Intermediate anymore.
And uh… what exactly is the difference between FG casual and casual gamer? To me, either says “I am playing for fun and don’t really know how to play this game”, even if the FG casual has played fighting games before.
If they know combos, mixups and resets, they don’t belong in casual. That’s pretty much it.
intermediate was never an option when making rooms. it’s always been Practice-Beginner-Casual-Expert
Huh… could’ve sworn it was there on PS3 before the patch.
So if some people treat Casual as Intermediate, and some people pick Casual because they don’t know how to play, there really is no way to tell whether they play until you try.
I’ve always interpreted casual in Fighting games as “I know how to play, i got a few mixups and resets but i’m not really THAT serious”
Then again with the rise of the “casual gamer” and the new terminology that thus got associated with it I really don’t know what to expect.
Casual is for players like me who get bodied in every expert room they enter. Not to say that I won’t enter any expert room I can find, because it feels awesome to get a little better at defense every time.
I never play online but when I did like… the first week the patch came out, I got called a “ungrateful and unhonarable peasant, you don’t deserve to play this game because you are a little bitch.” In those exact words, because I killed whoever his first character was, than I got him on an incoming mix up in the corner and I did my touch of death combo on him. I can’t remember his name, but whenever I get hatemail I try to respond with something nice like… “You’re so right! Hope to catch you at a tournament babe! ^_^b”
I am going to start playing team loli so expect me to be the subject of this thread alot in the upcoming weeks.
I promise to hand out all salt mail without impunity.
I call that “Beginner” or “Practice”.
jesus christ guitalex
there’s a difference between being new at the game and losing to the best the game has to offer. Just because people like me get bodied by the likes of Duckator or WingZero, we should make beginner rooms and rot there with the people who’ve never played the game before? That’s what you’re sounding like right now. Casual is for the people who are not as dedicated as experts but know the system pretty well. That includes knowing basic combos and mixups. This is what I expect when I join a casual room and 95% of the time it’s what I get. That knowledge alone makes us more than beginners but it’s obviously not enough to beat the best there is. So please, fix your twisted standards. The room names might not be the best, but they’re still plenty informative.
