I’ve never gotten any hate mail, but I use my headset every once and a while and I got “Almost had your bitcha**” after I played a Ken with Sagat.
It was kind of funny because I was PRETTY sure I had like 70-80% of my meter left. It wasn’t my fault he whiffed a f.DP on wake up and I caught him with c.mk > super.
I regretted doing it almost imediately after doing it, and after lurking and now actively participating in this forum, I saw that the sportmanship-spirit is quite high and this gives me motivation to be and STAY a fair loser.
Well, now that this is off my mind… Looking forward to meeting you folks online someday somehow, and learning a lot from you.
I got my first hate message last night! I was scolded after I beat some dude’s Akuma with my Dhalsim - he was less than thrilled about it. Said I “only knew one move” and I was “weak”, etc. This was after he’d air-fireballed almost the entire match and then tried like 20 times for his Ultra that he kept failing to input correctly so I just kept swatting him as he tried to get it out. I did not reply.
Pretty tame I suppose but it was my first one and I couldn’t help but chuckle.
After about five or six games (I won them all) vs a player that would repeatedly do a jumping roundhouse and then try to throw 100% of the jump in attempts:
“Ur good I can’t beat you, u do the same thing again and again.”
So because I countered his pattern the same way that somehow makes me cheap? Then he went on to say “No, I mean you mash B” whatever that means.
I also beat someone a few games and they wanted to add me to the friends list. After that though I get this message “Why don’t you at least let me hit you a few times u queer”. I couldn’t tell if this person was being serious or meant it in a light-hearted way.
Some guy sent me a voice message saying that I should “return the game and get my money back cause all * did was grab and grabbing is for pussy ass muthafuckas.” Not sure how returning it would help. I couldn’t help it though. He spammed tiger uppercuts and tiger knees all game.
“thanx 4 the challenge man. n vega is tough to use. much respect to u brudda.”
“thanks hasukawa! good match for sure. ganbatte ne.”
“gg” (this from the first Sagat I’ve lost to in a while)
“gg” (this from a Ryu who denied me my first attempt at 3000)
“wow u owned me vega–lol” (this from a guy I player matched with, vs. his Blanka for about five matches)
“dude!!! u are the SHIT with Vega!!” (this from a Sagat I player matched with for a while… 67000 gamerscore?!)
“ggs dunno vega mu good stuff”
I almost never get a message from people I beat. I always send messages to people I have good fights with (I define “good fight” as “someone won at least two rounds with less than 20% life”. So I’ve had nothing but good results so far.
I also occasionally send messages to people that beat the crap out of me – like that one guy who plays Gen with 3800 BP who’s perfected me in two out of the four rounds we’ve fought, or the Ryu with 4400 BP who juggled me into his Ultra.
I want to send messages to the people who play Dhalsim and do literally nothing but his air teleport + jumping fierce (and somehow have 2500 BP to show for it), but I figure backflipping to dodge it 10 times and beating them says enough.
Aww you’re no fun. Anyways, I’m getting pretty small messages left and right. The typical “FUCKING PUSSY FUCK YOU YOU SUCK EAT SHIT PUSSSY TURTLE SHIT FUCK YOU” and so fourth. Now I just reply with a U MAAAAADD???
But yeah, I played a pretty bad Fei Long player today. I brought him down to about 5% health, and he just jumped to the other side of the screen. I see him stand there for a second, and the thought runs through my head. Son of a bitch he’s going to DC. So I quickly dash forward and throw out a f.fierce but it brings him down to just a pixel of health. And away he goes, dc’d.
some guy sent me some rather funny hatemail today. I beat him 3 times with Guile…
1.) "WTF, can’t you do anything else besides Sonic Booms and Flash Kicks?"
My reply: umm…it’s Guile so no.
2.) "Fvckin cheap f@ggot ass once I get my stick I’ll take destroy you"
My reply: God Bless you my brother, don’t worry, Obama will take my wins and give them to you losers"
3.) "Fvck you, redneck, fvcker"
My reply: Jesus Saves.
One guy was rather funny though, i use “the fool” as my title, and rose, get in a match, the guy has “the fool” as his title, and picks rose. It was a good match, but he took it by a fair enough amount to call it a fair ass whooping, so i sent him
"You use my title, you use my girl, and you use me as toilet paper!! gg"
He gave me a smiley and a gg back and i felt a little better about my night.
Agreed, so how is a scrub getting a stick gonna make it any better for him? It is quite sad that they think so. I can play on stick, I can play on pad, I may be a little better on stick, but I found a way to use pad to it’s fullest. And I HAVE beasted players using a stick while I used a pad. And I hate using pad.
