Street Fighter IV

[KuaiEQ]

And yep, today was the day. Only 4 people there, including myself. 1st match was between a Chun-Li and another Sagat player. Chun-Li destroyed the Sagat, as he wasn't that good at all. 2nd round comes up, and it's me vs the Ryu player that moved on with me last week. He wins 2 out of the 3 rounds in the match, then I come back with 2 in a row. Final round comes up, and he has a sliver, and I have a hit or two worth. My 360 controller I was stuck with had a loose joystick, and I can't use the D-pad to save my life on it. I went to do an EX tiger shot, since I could've jumped in with a HK when he was blocking to a crouching MK to another low tiger shot, and that would've been it. But because the joystick was messed up I did an ex tiger uppercut, so he sweeps me. I have no visible health left, yet i'm still alive. With his last EX meter, he throws an EX hadouken and hits me just as i'm getting up, cheap shotting me. I had so little health that it was a guaranteed kill.


I could've done it to him multiple times during the match and won, but I tried to keep it clean, honest and fair. Turns out the saying "nice guys finish last" is true. Everybody in the store, *about 10 people who were there for support* and even the manager agreed it was a dirty/cheap victory.


So yup, my one shot. My one shot at fame, and my shot at the national/world championships, and I blew it. I tried to be nice, and it bit me in the ass. My dream was in my grasp, and I let it slip away. To be honest, I'll never forgive myself. And what's worse is he KNOWS that he only won because I had a messed up stick. Last week he was using 1st player side, *the messed up stick side* and he lost. As soon as we had to fight he zipped over to 2nd player so I'd get the bad controller.


Turns out he plays on XBL as well, so we exchanged gamertags. I get home, and whaddaya know, he's sent me a friend request and wants to fight again. This time I have a non-messed up joystick. I unload every bit of anger, frustration and emotion into my fights with him. Pummel him into the ground with no freaking remorse. I beat him 7 matches to his 0. That's right. ZERO WINS ON HIS PART. He never even came close to beating me. I played as ferociously as I could, cheap-shotting him the same way he did to me. And he just happened to "not have his mic with him at the time" so he couldn't talk. Little miraculous, I thought.



So all in all, needless to say i'm pretty fucking pissed off right now. Like I said above, it's always been one of my dreams to be in a national/world championship for a video game, and I had the shot for it, and blew it because I tried to play nice.


I effing blew it...

If you honestly think chip damage is cheap, then you aren't ready to play in local tournaments, nevermind shit like Evo.

Even milk........ has an expiration date.

[Akanei]

Play to win. Leave friendliness to friendlies.

[MisterBob]

Are you seriously complaining about getting killed by chip damage?

lulz indeed

[BRP]

:3

I effing blew it...

It must be terrible to go through life blaming everyone else for the fact that you suck.

[Dezzimal]

Are you seriously complaining about getting killed by chip damage?

lulz indeed

Kuai would never post copypasta.

[Cydewinder]

And I thought I was the only who thought it was copypasta, BRP's post kinda gave me the hint.

[motoh]

This is why poverty fighting games like Melty Blood and Arcana Heart don't get wide attention:

We don't want it if it brings in that kinda stuff.

~M

[motoh]

We already have those. That's why we have to keep the cheezits away from them.

~M

[Weltall]

Arcana Heart is awesome.

I use Sakura ex hadoken to chip ppl to death all the time on wakeup; guess you don't want to play me ;(

I got a bunch more octagon gates in the mail today. I don't know how people are playing with these square gates.-.

[Weltall]

Hahahahaha. Says the guy who can't win a 4 person Gamestop tourney

Also, isn't the N word banned now .-.? Better change that.

Oh, and Wong/Sanford has pretty much won every 3rd Strike / Smash Bros / SF2T / Tekken / etc there is except when Daigo pulls miracles.

[Correction]

Shh dammit, let Kuai get banned.

[Weltall]

I have sliced open 3 fingers already customizing this damn stick neon green....

I wish everyone, before they even step foot into or onto rather any online game or competitive video game AT ALL would read this first.

http://www.sirlin.net/articles/playi...in-part-1.html


and that's just part 1, read all of it, let it soak in, and the next time you catch yourself crying online playing Madden, some FPS, a Fighter etc you think back to this article and how much of a little bitch you sound like to the winners. I find nothing more pathetic than anyone saying cheap or dirty etc in SF especially. It's the equivalent of some FFXI gimp telling the guy who's pimped out that he MUST have no life or is fat and lives with his parents because he is good at this game and the gimp is not.

Excuses, excuses, whatever people can tell their sorry selves to make themselves feel better.

Excuse me but uhhh isn't this Ken/M2K/Azen/etc. not the people named above? I'll give you them for the others though.

I already saw this copypasta on /v/ around noon, but it's a nice try.

A pleasure to play offline with real people from real fighting game communities, the online play of this shouldn't be touched with a thirty foot bargepole with a lit napalm tip.

At a tournament level, then yeah, but the same holds true for most games. A 'just having fun playing the game' there's not really anything wrong with online play, aside from actually getting TO the online play without "Unable to join." spams. Brawl was a helluva lot laggier than this, yet people still played it online in masses. When you don't have some cash prize to win, bawwing about losing due to a few frames of input lag just makes you seem like a spoiled prick, which is why people use their SDTVs and play offline for tournaments, you can't blame anything but yourself.

Maybe you don't think it's the best game ever, but it's still a fun game to play and the online adds a nice touch of variety to the amount of people you can play.

EDIT: My biggest grip about online play is the massive Ken spams, though it's gotten slightly better since release day. http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h1...6057598818.png
