not precisely a hate mail, but after beating the crap out from some scrubs they send me this link and told me that i should learn how to play as a “gentleman”
I just play to have fun and get better. Winning is a bonus.
I have no clue, but it’s kind of annoying.
That’d be too easy. Plus I’m right there, so I must be online playing SFIV to teach everyone how to play right? No good player goes online to play other good players. :looney:
No hate mail yet, but I had a pretty priceless exchange on voice the other day. I was playing an abel. He beat me first round and I scraped out the second. In the third he got me down to around 30%, I had him around 60%. About here I realize he’s blocking and punishing everything I toss at him. So I start jumping in and throwing. Did this 3 or 4 times in a row and he yells “you throwing bitch.” I tell him “That’s what happens when you block all day.” Then I jump in and shoru him…he tries to tech my throw, match over.
Compared to the online players of HD Remix, the SFIV community has been mostly positive. I’ve sent out and received a lot of GGs; I usually throw them props if they pick Dan or some other less commonly used character. I’ve only gotten like two bad remarks from a couple of sore losers.
On the other hand, I used to get crap remarks consistently, win or lose, when I played HD Remix. Also a lot of rage quits. Seems like the maturity level of SFIV online players is a little better.
“Oh, I can counter just fine. Remember I’ve been playing since Street Fighter’s first release. Just because I can defeat cheap tactics doesn’t mean they aren’t cheap. Look child, if your skill is so minute as to lead you to employ strategies like spam and cheese, then you’re cowardly. By choosing not to use these tactics you display greater skill. Point is that anyone can spam a hadouken/tatsumaki senpuukyaku/ shoryuken or what have you. They’re not hard to do. They’re not hard to counter. Can you imagine what the game would be like if everyone just did that? Do I offend you? Man up then, you know my ID. Bring whatever tactics you like but if you really want the bragging rights grow a pair and fight honorably.”
I bet the kid calling someone “child” is 16 years old.
5+ non-stop hadoukens is not even a good strategy in 99% of situations. Why the hell would you care to ban something like that?
99% of decent players i’ve played will agree that anything goes-It doesn’t mean that about a million throws or ticks or whatever is fun to be on the recieving end of, but it pisses people off for a reason:Cause it works.The whole “cheap” excuse basically equates to “aw come on, go easy on me, i don’t know how to get around that shit…please”
F*ck that, NOTHING in Street fighter is 100 unbeatable…NOTHING.How ever difficult it might be, theres a counter technique for EVERYTHING.
(well, except for the original and best world warrior guile 4-hit re-dizzy combo, once you managed to get in with a meaty jumping fierce, your opponent was doomed, no matter how much energy they had…man i got punched in the arm so much over using that at my local arcade…those were the days :rock:)
Anyway, back to the point, some kid called Xi Ch0c0 iX ragequit on me tonight in the middle of taking a beating, after i had handed him his ass 3 matches straight.I was kinda getting tired of wiping the floor with him anyway, and was going to look for a better opponent after beatdown number 4, but it pissed me off, so I messaged my usual “quitter” to him, and he came back with “LOL u too good, i can’t even do those moves”, to which i replied “then practise, but don’t quit on people mid round, it’s really lame”
No reply so far, but if he’s on SRK then -1 imaginary rep.
So I never thought I’d be “that guy,” but I started handing out a little hate mail myself the other day… It was for lag losses, though. Dudes who win by spamming DPs while it’s taking 3 seconds for anything I input to show up on-screen. I never go as far as to tell them they’re terrible but I do tell them to stop using AOL
lol this guile scrub ScorpionKing31 ragequit me so I sent him a “u mad” and he replied "no but i would rather disconect then give a win to someone who dosnt deserve it…cause yea thats what we were doing when we first started playing street fighter…we were all jumping around jabbing"
I was divekicking with rufus…
My personal favourite is (from page 6 or so ) “If you lose the first round, you have to concede the second”.
Now, I see if you’re 9 years old and in arcade and have limited funds that MIGHT seem ok, but seriously - think about the logic for a minute - what possible reason have you got for winning the first round? None. None whatsoever. In fact it’s probably better to gauge your opponent in R1, let him beat you, confirm your suspicions in R2 (which you then get given) and then proceed to use what you’ve learned to spank him in R3.
Dude dc’d on my Balrog, so I sent him something along the lines of ‘Does that move you did there at the end where you warped right out of our game like a chump use meter?’
He replies ‘i don’t play with people who throw all the time’
I send back, ‘I didn’t throw you even once. I picked you up and hit you with my face a bunch. ITS DIFFERENT’
It’s technically not a message since he didn’t message me, but I think I ran into my first lag switch abuser, or whatever you call them, last night. He was Sagat, he opened the round with a few hits (didn’t notice much, if any lag), I was able to equalize the damage and turn the round in my favor then all of a sudden it becomes super, super slow, like playing in underwater or something. I was still able to win round one despite the horrible lag and freezing, and then he promptly disconnected.
I don’t understand the fun in doing this…? I mean, at least the legion of ken flowchart spammers are like, playing the game. But why go to the trouble to make the game unplayable just to win the match? (and it didn’t win him the match, I was still on track to win…)
