Why can't players online give new people like me a break?

[AKI]

People online are relentless. They can absolutely tell that I’m a new player because of how poor my skill is, and yet they won’t even give me a chance?

The moment you realize that fighting games are not for YOU.

This thread is funny. Maybe you should make a new law to force everyone to think like you.

The moment you realize that fighting games are not for YOU.

So did you two bother to read anything beyond the first post or what.

How about instead of talking to me you go help the guy since you’re wearing your White Knight armor. Getting bodied isn’t anything new. He’s dealing with a normal experience, one that everyone in the FGC goes through (more than once in their life if they plan on playing more than one fighting game). No one is born good, you have to get good or get the fuck out.

But yeah, go handicap yourself and play with the dude, spoon feeding ass nigga.

[Ghidorah14]

Well that escalated quickly.

Also, I noticed you didnt answer my question.

FGC don’t read words, only people.

Losing to better players is my trigger srk plz help!!

[Duck_Strong]

SF and fighting games in general are a trial by fire. You will lose, a lot, for a long time, and it’s gonna fucking suck. Could be months to a year or more before you reach that higher level of play. The execution barrier doesnt help matters, either.

I’ve pretty much given up on SF. I simply cannot muster up the desire to boot up the game anymore, not when I’ve got so many other games vying for my attention, offering more fun, sooner, and for less investment. All I can think about are the countless hours spent in training mode and fighting my friends, and how little it seemed to matter because I was still losing. I was just not having fun anymore, and SF4 had become a chore to play.

In short, if you’re not willing to subject yourself to the grind of training mode for the next month or so before the real game can begin, abandon ship now and get a refund on that stick while you’re at it.

Thought so

[Ghidorah14]

Yes, I stopped playing a game that I no longer got enjoyment out of. Crazy, I know.

[Duck_Strong]

Crazy that you bitch and moan endlessly about how companyies should change a game to suit you because you’re not good enough to hack it thereby ruining said game in the process.

It’s amply obvious you want quick results without putting in the time. Guess what, anything worth doing requires at least a modicum of dedication.

Just suck it up, take your licks and you will eventually improve. The problem is not whether you’re capable; it’s whether you’re willing.

Stop trying to cheapen the experience for the rest of us because you’re lazy.

SF4 is bad enough, but if even that pos game is too much for you, go play Naruto or whatever the hell else is made to cater to the army of entitled moaners.

[MatrixGravity]

It’s always great to see someone change their mindset and decide to learn the game, keep at it.

Fighting games take a lot of effort to get good at but the reward for putting in that effort is well worth it, nothing beats the feel of starting to consistantly counter stuff that was absolutely wrecking you before or of finding new tech and using it to smash somebody you could barely touch previously.

Amen!

There online tactics are even worse!

300 hours.

I gave SF4 300 hours of my time. That time was spent in training mode, against my sparring partners, and against random people on ranked/endless. That’s not a lot, relatively speaking, but I think it would at least qualify as “a modicum of dedication.” And that’s not even considering all the time spent outside of the game; watching tutorials, reading threads, searching up and down for tips on how to improve. I even spent extra for a fightpad and the Ultra upgrade, and until just recently, I was seriously considering switching to stick.

In conclusion:

No, I have put in the time.
No, I am not lazy.
No, I am not an entitled moaner.

So would you be so kind as to fuck off already?

[Duck_Strong]

Don’t compare yourself to other people. Look at how YOU have improved since you started. That’s all that should matter.

Then again, maybe you’re mildly retarded?

You probably should give up and save us all some grief.

That is the issue with games, not just with SF. Counting one’s dedication according to the time they spent on a game is not the best way.
You literally have to see beyond this and transcend time just like in the pre-internet days. Or else this puts an extra weight on your shoulder.
Who cares if you spent 6 or 6000 hours on the game. If you love to play the game, it shows

Nigga, did you even read his post or are you having a conversation with yourself? If anyone is potentially “mildly retarded”, I’d say you’re looking like a stronger candidate.

I got 1K hours clocked in USFIV on Steam and that’s not counting in the time I spent playing on PS3 before I dropped that version.

Guess what I still suck.
Did I get better? Definitely, I win 50% of the time.

I’m enjoying SF3 and SF4 too much though, to quit playing them. I feel it’s a great use of my time.
Kinda like learning an instrument, you never know if you’ll ever master it but I feel like the journey of trying it, is worth it.

Imo it’s just about getting to the point where you really understand and can control your character.

Once you get to the point where you can actually play the game of footsies and knockdowns as opposed to being overwhelmed by constant jumpins or constantly hitting bad buttons or dropping all your combos then it’s all just decision making from there and the salt goes down a lot.

[Ghidorah14]

I have improved. That much I know for certain. I have just lost interest in playing SF4. It’s no longer fun for me to play. Besides, I have a ton of other games on the backburner, not the least of which is xenoverse.

But this topic isnt about me.

Are you getting pissy at him because was 5 years late to the game? Don’t forget that not too long ago you guys forced them to change the game you loved like more times than I can count on one hand.
