:lol :lol :lol @ EU Players complaining about Cammy.
I don't entirely agree with Vryu comment about UK vs France though. They have Alioune, who pretty much stands over everyone. But then we have plenty of players who can go toe to toe with the likes of Starnab and Luffy.
It will probably be worse next time as I'm in Taiwan now, not Europe. Anyway you're right, it's just online so what the hell, we'll try again.Rice-Eater said:
I read the V-Ryu comment the same way as Haunts, though I think the good players in the UK are catching up fast in terms of getting to that very good level along with the likes of Ryan and Alioune. I also think that in the near future a couple of young stars from the UK, like Yota, are going to tear it up on an International level.
Don't even get me started on that guy...pirateben said:It will probably be worse next time as I'm in Taiwan now, not Europe. Anyway you're right, it's just online so what the hell, we'll try again.

Back when Super released I played him in a long set, pretty much beasted on me the entire time. I think I managed like three wins over him (we must have played like 15), and even those were close / lucky on my part.
It's a shame I left the country, would love to play him more. Hell, I never even got a chance to meet and play you man!

Wow, HAV telling people to stop talking and instead work on their game.....you gotta be good at something (anything) before you have the right to call people out like that. HAV was average (at best) at CvS2 and bad at SF4, it's annoying seeing him boast about his "abilities."

Somebody hit my router when i was playing Greg and Threi last night and it broke
Why can i almost beat threi with a character like Bison that i have no idea what his buttons do, but i cant do much better with Dudley? Why is Dudley so trash. My 2 combo Gen is more godlike.
Shoutouts to doing ex jet upper when you have someone stunned and ultra would have closed out the round. fuck rolling my fingers. the only rolling thunder is greg making a no health comeback then kicking my ass in the third.

I would make some lag jokes about Gutabo, but whenever I play him, there is little to no lag. :lol
My connection with Wiseblade and Gutabo is better than my connection with a lot of XBL GAF for some reason. =/

In my honest, opinion: The fighting game community sucks. It's not inclusive to "newbies," and SRK in general is pretty horrible.
I'm honestly not surprised by the childish behavior of the "oldbies." "OH YOU WEREN'T HERE WHEN FIGHTING GAMES WERE DYING! YOU SUCK! GO HOME!" etc. etc. etc. just... makes me shy away from fighting games.
Hell, Q and Proto and Dragonball practically ran me out of BB/SSF4. Why bother asking stupid questions in a thread and trying to figure out the game when it doesn't explain things too well and get "GO HOME AND BE A FAMILY MAN" etc.?
I'll stick to my shootan games, thanks.
I'm debating whether or not to start getting the Ultra costume packs right away, or wait for the inevitable lump DLC to get them all at once.
I believe in the past there's been a discount for buying the one DLC package instead of the individual ones, right? How much of a difference is it?

The full Super costume pack was $18, if you bought them separately they'd cost about $28.Mike M said:
I assume we'll get the same pricing here, but I don't think the full Ultra costume pack will be out until April, while the individual catalog packs will be done by January.

I agree with this for the most part. There is a lot of "old man syndrome" in the fighting game communities.
I just think people that don't want to let go and hold on to their old bullshit, because the old days were "better" in their opinion, or their ego can't take what is going on now.
There was a lot of bullshit in the day. Nostalgia does things to people.
I am in my early 30's and come up with arcade in the 90's. I miss the arcade scene, but I don't really think the games were better back then.
I just go to the Tech Talk section on SRK nowadays anyways, so whatevers.
If I'm on SRK I'm either looking at the custom sticks or in the Cammy section. That's it. The Cammy guys are all great real nice. They'll critique videos and get some matches in and answer any questions you have. Just as long as you don't start a thread for them lol.

No... just no. I believe we have given you enough basic tips. You played Lambda so I couldn't give you detailed info how to play her. I DID tell you to stop doing 5CCCC and you were still doing that. I told you the basics how to get around and you were still not listening. Also gave you enough supporting data to show you that Lambda is in no way a bad character and even gave you videos to watch. If you had asked good questions, I would've researched for you, but all you have said is "No, Lambda sucks... She can't do anything close combat... LOOK AT HER IN THIS MATCH! SHE LOST." You're just giving me fuel to ignite you.
I don't mind playing new players and giving them advise. In fact, I will actually play with beginners, sometimes for 1-2 hour straight just so they can learn. Trust me, if I didn't care about them, I would just tell them "no, play someone else." I am a firm believer that the fastest way to learn a fighting game is playing someone better than you. I actually relish the moments when I find someone good because it means I can learn so much about either a matchup or how to play the game.
You, however, have learned nothing which is why I blew up on you in the BBCS thread. Also, I am in no way an old timer... I started playing 2D fighters last year, so you have no excuses.
ALTHOUGH, I will agree with you that at least Dustloop has been going downhill. I only go there for combo infos now.

how did DBJ run you away from ssf4? he's good and all but take your losses and learn from them...don't look at it as "i can't compete with these guys" look at it as "i can't compete with these guys YET"
i started playing fighting games when super came out and still get blow up by dbj/greg/satyamdas/joekage but that doesn't make me want to quit playing...it makes me want to get better

Between wakeupSRK and that thread, it's been pretty entertaining.
The only issue I found with the thread besides the massive trolling was when they brought up that one quote by Flash. I can understand the mentality but it did smack of ignorance, especially now in the wake of Vangief, Wolfkrone, Inthul, Shizza, etc.
And I'd agree with Markman, the egos are what's hurting the fighting game community. I'd like to see the fighting game community be as huge as WoW/RTS/FPS. And it would be awesome if someone could just play fighting games competitively for a living.
True dat. If you walked into a martial arts dojo, you don't expect to be Bruce Lee or chucking around GSP. It's all about learning and getting better. The true path of the warrior lies in the journey, improving and enjoying yourself.

I have to be honest, HAV's blown up my 'Sim with his Abel -_-
Axis said:
very true! vex used to be below average when he first started to play this game but now I'd say he's better than about most players out there who are not pro's.
you have to be very competitive to play fighting games and have a attitude of losing doesnt mean shit besides a lesson to learn as to what you did wrong. I remember DBJ beating me like 15 straight one time and I finally got a game...I did a big jersey shore guido fist pump.

Congrats on beating my Hakan.eissan said:last time we played the score was 17-16 for me so I dunno there bud
Thanks guys! LOL threi, you missed my relix lag joke on the first post
Again, SHOUTOUTS to AXIS AND EISSAN, international cobra kai members! (check the stream vids I posted before for lots of spanish cobra kai references!)
Again, SHOUTOUTS to AXIS AND EISSAN, international cobra kai members!
(check the stream vids I posted before for lots of spanish cobra kai references!)It was huge back in the day, but faded away. Then it came back with MvC2 and then faded away again. And now thanks to SF4 the hype is back. There are some arcades around, but they have PCs with emulators with 2k games on so you put a coin, choose a game and play for a while. KoF is big here(98, 2k2). It's really hard to find SF4 cabinets around here(there are none) but we have PS3s with a coin stuff added and the start button disabled(pretty much like they did with MvC2 and dreamcast). Here in peru we have a central hub for most capcom games on facebook("the backyard", where I was named admin some months ago) with 200 active members and we're trying to get all fighters together and doing bigger tourneys, get a site going(facebook is not enough), getting a place to do more stuff and just trying to get a bigger scene. We had a guy(Jaime Calzada) that won a south-american tourney(I placed 4th, he sent me to losers bracket) and a trip to Dreamhack winter, but he(as lots of people around here with no access to TE sticks) besides having great reactions and basics didn't know how to plink or OS or stuff that I consider a must(hell the guy did his best but he doesn't even speak english so no forums/vids data for him and he never played online before the tourney/meeting us). We're working on translating stuff(I usually translate a piece or two per week, including some stuff like AE changes) so people can learn and get better at fighting games faster. Personally I've becomed more involved in organizing/getting things going and less in actually playing lately, like doing online stuff like peru vs colombia/chile/argentina(we almost have peru vs panama ready!). But lag makes things hard. And most people end up dropping gaming because of real life stuff(I almost "retired" twice this year, I'm very lucky).
