BardicKnowledge Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 Arek's connection to me wasn't too bad -- imo his internet is fine to play. Get online moar! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arek the Absolute Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 Half the matches are really bad just like brawl while the others aren't TOO bad. I want to play YOU as lagless as possible so we can really get some good stuff in. If you want to play tonight, though, to test it out, then I am in!

Sindra Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 I guess I just have to play through Very Hard on arcade a few times and tighten up my combos and timing before trying ranked fights again. This is getting embarrassing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can get through Very Hard mode, you shouldn't be losing all of your ranked matches -- you must be getting some terrible luck out there.

Sindra Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 I'm seriously going up against guys who have spammed the air combos, and I just have trouble getting out of them. Or blocking a 30 hit combo ending with a hyper. Seriously, I have a fucking life outside this game. I can't play it all damn week or memorize all the combos from Mission Mode and execute them flawlessly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Global-Trance Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 GG Arek! Maybe you'll get more than one win. :P :P Teasing aside, I know you have the potential for good execution but you gotta stop pressing extra buttons in lag. It doesn't work. Trust me. It just leads to dropped inputs. We'll play more for sure! Even I learned some things when we were playing tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Global-Trance Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 Why Zero and Akuma? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowBlade Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 Why Zero and Akuma? I agree with Bleck. Zero has some insanely long chain combos. Him and Dante. Akuma because of his infinite (doesn't work on every character though) plus the fact that he's the fastest moving character in the game and does good damage. 1 year from now I just know everyone's going to say Akuma is the best character.

Bleck Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 zero because it's really easy to pull off his most damaging combos akuma because oh what I have meter MESSATSU GOUHADOU MESSATSU GOUHADOU MESSATSU GOUHADOU MESSATSU GOUHADOU MESSATSU GOUHADOU MESSATSU GOUHADOU MESSATSU GOUHADOU Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Global-Trance Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 I guess I just don't really mind them since they both have the least health other than Phoenix and will die in like two combos. Zero outprioritizes every move if you're trying to press buttons at midrange but will probably lose if zoning or waiting for openings at close range. Akuma is fast movement-wise and while his attacks are general quick, there are other characters that can out-poke up close. If you're worried about the beam hyper you might not want to stay on the ground far away all the time. It's his best hyper so it's something you should expect if he has any meter.

I can't play it all damn week or memorize all the combos from Mission Mode and execute them flawlessly. Now I'm probably going to get flamed for this. But I honestly doubt that most of the "pros" at fighters have much of a life. Like Daigo etc. These people have basically made a profession (for which they get paid REAL MONEY) out of playing a video game at tournaments and stuff. People like Seth Killian. The guy is capcom's "community manager". Basically he's a fanboy who's paid to play games and interact with fans. In short, he doesn't have a real job in the video game industry. It's like Korea and Starcraft. If you're super good at the game and you don't play it all the freakin' time. It's probably just because you've been playing the series for many years but not religiously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Global-Trance Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 if you can pay the bills by playing your favorite video games I mean why not Someone like Daigo is fortunate enough to be able to make a living by doing something he enjoys which I am sure is something we all would like. He might not have "a life" outside of all this but we can't really knock on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Derrit Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 i think the point being why personally insult people for being skilled, who cares what they're skilled at. to reference other games in which people are pro, several ssbm players have other interesting things they do, i have yet to see more than four or five people at tournaments of over 40 people that are your stereotypical 'shut in' type. oftentimes the best players are the most interesting and most intelligent; its the fat nerds who aren't good and complain all the time not to mention seth killian not only has a job but has one of the best jobs ever. on top of that he's incredibly important because he's a person who can take feedback from the public and translate it into developerspeak thus making the games capcom makes better its just a dumb thing to say Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowBlade Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 ... you need this kind of facepalm. for so many reasons If you're being paid money to do what you love then hell yeah so I guess I said that part wrong. Still I've never understood paying someone just to play a game. Unless they're testing it or something. I guess my point is invalid if people like Daigo are being paid to test the games and actually contribute to them. But if you're paid just to be cool and shake hands with fans........

ShadowBlade Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 Oh and Those fucking basketball players. Wasting all their time practicing a dumb game and actually getting paid for it. I see your point but you make some of the worst comparisons. A basketball team represents (usually) a city and simply can't exist without it's hard working, professional level players. A video game and it's company can exist easily without "pro" gamers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Global-Trance Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 In the case of Daigo, he is sponsored by MadCatz so he's marketing them MadCatz sticks wherever he goes... money from that and presumably the tournament prize money he tends to win is probably nothing to scoff at.
