What grinds your gears?

TELL ME ABOUT IT. when i lose to another cable i get SOOOO MAD, because i know theyre thinking “this niggas cable sucks” no you just got lucky and got a random AHVB. fuck this game

…seriously? do you never play anyone in real life?

People who blame the game or their controller for their faults, ie: “I fucking swear I was blocking, the controller isn’t working right, I BLOCKED!” when you blatantly saw them mashing jab/whatever and heard the button bashing.

-People who skip the intro during AH3/BB matches when it is obviously lagging (especially lag abusing Kira/Fiona players).

-Rage quitters/avoiders.

-Hate mail. It’s usually from someone that has just lost and it is completely unnecessary.

-MVC3 training stage.

-d3v’s jokes.

Seriously. And yes, I play a lot of people in real life.

When I tell someone “GG”, that means I had a fun time fighting against them cause they really engaging match or I learned some new stuff, whether I lost or won. Sending someone GG after double perfecting them just feels kind of snide.

That’s just me though, just one thing that irks me a bit.

Also let me add a few more.

  • People that use low-tier usage as an excuse for losing.
  • Receiving condescending/hate mail after losing(I only get the latter when I use Zangief).
  • Gamer girls, who think the fact that a vag and tits makes them hot shit among gamers in general(It doesn’t.), as opposed to girl gamers, who just play games and don’t throw their gender around. Not something people usually go on about, but my old arcade was infested with these chicks.
  • “gwed/dbzhd no 56k no dl”
  • People who troll 24/7 live streams
  • People who kick the CvS2 machine in anger, breaking it so the arcade operator trashed it and doesn’t replace it. We know it was you, Seth.

Fanboys & dickriders grind my gears too

Not enough girl gamers. I would love to see a girl win evo. Stop babying your daughters with barbie dolls and ovens. Get them a stick and a game!!!

My daughter is 3 and has her own fightstick! She tries to play Juri! LOL Evo here we come!

The constant complaints of "All the games people play suck and are imbalanced, I can’t wait for [game not yet released] to come out so I stop losing to [insert scrubquote here].

i’m actually excited for this. lol

People who hate it when the World Warrior cast get all of the spotlight in Street Fighter games despite how those are the characters that pop culture associates with Capcom fighting games.

Characters that get nerfed for no reason. Capcom’s post-SFIV approach to fighting games.

[SFxT] [Mashing; Random Ultra]
[SSF4:AE 2012] [Twins; Feilong]
[KOFXIII] [Idiots who play sf and marvel all day.]
[UMVC3] [X-factor; Phoenix, Wesker, Lariat, Gunstaff Fire, Zero, Dante, Mags, Dive kick, Beserker Slash, Dark Phoenix, Tatsu, DHC glitch, Drones, a combination of any of the following.]

People that hate the existence of the SF4 series DESPITE it reviving fighting games.

People that hate '09ers. Yes I am one.

loosing online

people that believe that sf4 revived the fighting game genre

No it didn’t. Plenty of fighters were still being released in the period Capcom stop producing fighters. We had stuff like Guilty Gear, KoF, Samurai Shodown, Melty Blood, Rumble Fish, Arcana Heart, Tekken, Soul Calibur, and a few others I’m forgetting was holding it down in their absence. All it revived were capcom fans who only play capcom games.

People complain about “icons” being prioritized over gameplay they’d like to play/see more of? SHOCKING

This is just what I’m getting from the SFxT discussions. In a game that’s supposed to be a crossover between the most iconic characters of each franchise, it’s not exactly rocket science.

I mean, people lamenting over the possibility of Balrog and Vega being in a Street Fighter crossover? Really?

Of course I might be forgetting a bigger thing that grinds my gears: People forgetting that most every character in a game worth its salt has some kind of worth and a scene of their own.

  1. That, for the most part, people on SRK who decry scrubs, bad posters and dumb people are exactly like them, they’re just slightly more open minded about video-games.
  2. That fighting games won’t embrace the PC platform (with it’s strengths). PC fighters are almost always either ancient, doujin games or console ports.
  3. Practicing Ken’s juice kick in ST and using it successfully in matches, then getting that moment vs. someone where you’re at the right spacing and you know a fireball is coming and you know you can juice kick here to win the match. Then going flying across the screen and getting destroyed when you land.

you are forgetting that its also the oportunity to bring back other characters that werent present on sf4, capcom has a really good number of chars that could add a lot to the gameplay besides the usual suspects, do you really belive that every game needs to have the same chars over and over?
