Well there’s a PSN and LIVE online matchmaking forum.
For those of us not entirely clear about the wonders of SRK.
All you have to do there is post “i’m a noob, any other noobs want to play?”
Bonus being you can find folks near you rather than across hundreds of miles.
But folks didn’t know that, right?
Socializing with other players in this day and age? Unheard of!
Why would I want to call someone a fagg_t and tell them to eat a dick to their face? They could say something mean back! Or worse!
I don’t want to leave my parents basement. My mini-fridge of Mountain Dew and Pizza Rolls will miss me. Plus I’d have to shower. Fuck that.
Playing online isnt a good way to develop players in general. Ive been playing online since ultimate came out and I think its made me worse than when I was a training mode warrior. Im starting to develop habits that I know are bad and the lag dumbs the game down too much. If youre trying to get better just practice and find a scene with good players.
This times over9000.
Because his reasoning was he wants people to do short combos. So his character doesnt die in one go.
Rotfl.
its more that he means its hard to gain experience against people when the gap is too great, and he’s commenting on the fact that actually skilled people enter rooms marked beginner only and are the farthest thing from beginners meaning they do it for, a) a confidence boost, b) not reading the rooms title which is fair, c)They believe they are a beginnger
Just don’t take the game to seriously and talk/friend people you play who are around your level. the key is to either grow in skill with someone or play against a person who wins a majority of the time that you can still occasionally win against.
yes playing in your local scene helps but not everyone has the time for that and wants to play and get better when they have free time, hence online play, the ability to play with people who play the same time you do regardless of their location.
Real talk, if you don’t like super long combos, dealing with bullshit or losing a character in one hit, Marvel probably isn’t the fighting game for you.
Not even trying to be a dick or anything.
There are lots of fighting games coming out right now. Some of them stress other skills besides doing training mode combos or stacking up a bunch of bullshit to prevent the opponent from playing his characters.
Try them out…you MAY find you actually like them better.
Just don’t sit around getting frustrated and complaining when people are playing Marvel the way the game is supposed to be played.
I agree with the original post, as long as an advanced player is there to teach or give tough love to the beginners, there’s no problem. But for the people who toll, go somewhere else. It’s like those people who are amazing at guitar hero and run into a gamestop or best buy to “try it out” and perfect combo every song on expert for attention.
No. It’s nothing like that. Not even remotely.
I’ve never seen a bunch of assholes trying so damn hard to be accepted by the other assholes. Stop rationalizing bad behavior because you think it makes you sound like a badass. The Original Post didn’t say he wanted to dictate HOW people play or how long they combo, he is accusing assholes of losing to [slightly better] assholes and raging, then purposely taking that out on people who are just learning what the game is all about, and half of you sound like you do this, and you’re betting on the other pricks to validate it.
I call bullshit. It’s just bottom-barrel, milk-of-the-asshole behavior. Period. And yes, the only way to [try] to embarass the jobless basement-dwelling f***s is for Capcom to come up with a way that syphons out the farts from the assholes, just like they had to with rage quitters.
If casuals/scrubs want to play with other casuals/scrubs, they should be able to without pathetic stick monkeys hand-jobbing their egos.
1a) Get IRL friends to play with
1b) Friend request other bad people you play against online
2) Make private lobbies
3) ???
4) [S]Stay free[/S] Profit
You’re so mature bro. I wanna be like you.
Not to mention you have amazing vocabulary.
And this is why I taunt these assholes…
People are assholes, but, like someone earlier in this thread said, that dude going into beginner rooms and being a douche is in reality only a lower mid tier character beating up low tier scrubs to make himself feel better. I used to lose to assholes like that all the time in MvC2 til I got nice and now they wont even join my rooms anymore.
This isn’t an online thing only either, there used to be IRL guys like that at arcades too, hopping on a machine to beat some 10 year old who just wanted to see the end screen and he would beat them with MSP, except he couldnt do anything other than short short psyblade into shockwave. The kid would either (a) go off and play whack-a-mole or (b) learn team scrub and clap him with commando a few months later, since the guy sucked anyway.
As for the “playing better people” tangent; you ARE learning when playing someone massively better, wether you think you are or aren’t. You wont notice it right away, it’ll happen later when you play someone worse and you realized something as little as your blocking has lvled up like crazy. You’ll feel like Goku turning the gravity machine off (though freeza will still stomp you)
Frieza is Top Tier…
Yeah, playing these assholes who enter noobie rooms to feel themselves better help a lot, then you will be raping them in no time…
In order for a new player to want to get good, they need to be able to see the value in the game. If a new player gets destroyed so badly that they literally can’t even comprehend how they lost, they learned nothing. The game they played had zero value. And they will quit the game, never seeing the value in the game.
It’s not a lack of competitive spirit sometimes, sometimes it’s just not seeing the game as worth playing.
I think what the OP means is that a beginner isn’t going to learn anything by some guy coming in mauling everyone. That’s not how you learn, despite the parroting going on in this thread. If Justin Wong were to come in a beginner’s rooms and beat everyone without mercy how much will they learn? Not a thing. Sure these trollers may not be JWong, but to a beginner they might as well be. They’re going to be overwhelmed in the same manner. They aren’t going to know why anything in the match happened. That’s the issue the OP seems to be having and it’s a valid complaint. Telling him to “learn to block” isn’t going to do him much good when he has no idea what he’s supposed to be blocking.
I can’t risk beating somebody online anymore or they’ll make a thread and really show me.
well, if someone is starting from zero, the first thing they should be doing is learning combos and their characters through stuff like practice mode (or even the trials), then going to arcade mode to practice combos in fight situations, THEN fighting live opponents to get the kind of experience the AI can’t allow. If you pop in the game and hop online, even the noobiest beginner will still beat you without you learning anything.
I feel like the bolded part is really debatable based on how much better. When MvC2 came out, I was playing against people who were obviously better, but not far enough where I felt overwhelmed. Now had that been Combofiend or Clockw0rk - I’m certain it would’ve been useless because the skill level was just that much farther apart. At the very least, it would’ve taken a lot longer to even feel comfortable playing them in general - yet alone worrying about learning and beating them. I think that’s counterproductive. Beginners doesn’t need someone who’s placing in tourneys to troll their room.
