[darkimmunity]

[Waggs313]

[Humbag]

Seriously, to get to the next level offline tournys are what to do.

[SF and PROS]

But some people have what it takes, some people don't......not everyone is cut out to be a top player.

[shoni]

How do you know if you've hit the wall?

[eiSH]

How do you know if you've hit the wall?When you start to get bored as shit with the game, but still lose to good people and don't know what you're doing wrong.

[Waggs313]

When you start to get bored as shit with the game, but still lose to good people and don't know what you're doing wrong.

Well Im not bored with the game, I just dont know what I am doing wrong like what you said. I think it is my lack of offline experiance that is holding me back.

[eiSH]

Well Im not bored with the game, I just dont know what I am doing wrong like what you said. I think it is my lack of offline experiance that is holding me back.Unfortunately, there's nobody that plays on live anymore that can give you the solid wtf-you're-doing-wrong stats you require. Last person that I knew that would teach through experience was HunterSFL and that schmuck quit live. Start going to offline tournaments and start to get to know the people in your area so you can learn from each other -_-; A lot better than learning from people on XBL that's for sure. If you go to tournaments you'll see that the majority aren't that amazing, only the top 15-20% of each local tournament are match-video quality. Unless it's a big tournament like T-# or whatever -_-;

[hold dat]

Waggs- u and i have been bullshitting about meeting offline for a minute... the time for us to meet is now

last couple of tourneys at W2Z had Justin,DXP,Arturo,Kofiend,Mutant xp, Flare, Tinshi,Bacardi, NESTOR, Min, Therapist, comebackkid, capcom killah, me and so many other really good players that the opportunity to learn and get better is crazy


there was a time when it was only a handful of us there, now there are bi-weekly ranbats in effect and tourneys comin up so we gotta hook up homie.

come through, pm me, call me 646-270-1801 , send a letter, homing pigeon,telegram just come through. you'll get the hype back for the game....trust me

Bacardi alone will make the trip worth it

Eish is right. offline is the way...get hype!!!!!!

[Humbag]

homing pigeon ftw

[kingfismit]

I just started playing offline with a bunch of friends a couple months ago. its not really much different than online

[eiSH]

[kingfismit]

:shake:
:wonder:

[jewelman]

i think playing 10 matches offline makes you learn more then it would online about the person your opposing...at least thats my two cents

plus you cant bitch about missing that parry offline :D

[First To 5 Wins]

Guys, the majority of you know me.....


are you still bad

[Waggs313]

Im pretty sure I beat you last we played. If you have something negative to say than go fuck yourself. Im asking friends for help, if you arent stay the fuck out of this thread.

Hold Dat - Will you be coming to the shore this year? If you can we could prolly get some offline matches going.

Eish - Thanks for all your help you, you kick ass.

I just ordered my stick too.

[First To 5 Wins]

Im pretty sure I beat you last we played. If you have something negative to say than go fuck yourself. Im asking friends for help, if you arent stay the fuck out of this thread.

lol whatever you say guy.

You've never even finished a set against me. You either drop or leave after one or two games. LOL do you still use that bad Alex???

[Waggs313]

LOL Dropped? Yeah ok. No I dont, I use my joke of an Alex on players like you, It funny how that bad Alex beat you. Also " First to 5 Wins " AS I remember, I was beating you 3-1 and you run from the set. So seriously, get the Legend of Lores dick out of your ass and start thinking straight.

Now fuck off, Im not arguing in this thread.

[SF and PROS]

Waggs shut it and let's play instead if you beat me 10 times you don't suck.

[Waggs313]

Woh SF, since when do I suck at all? If I sucked, my head wouldnt be in my ass asking for help or talking shit if I cant back it up. Im not saying im good, but come on, tell me I suck when we would split our sets. Ok. And saying Im not cut out to be a top player?? You say that as if your the second coming of God to this game when your obviously not.

[kingfismit]

play more cvs2

[Waggs313]

Close this thread, Im just gonna PM the people that are helping.

Clearly you needed the invitation to play with a bit more lubricant. How about: "waggs, can we please palyeee some third strikeee?"

[kingfismit]

dude seriouly, do you rush or turtle when you play?

[Waggs313]

Sf, obviously, you don't realize when you come off like a dick. Just say Lets play soon and Im down for it, but when you add all the unneeded bullshit, you sound like a jerk.

[SF and PROS]

Because I am, and you knew that before, I am shocked you forgot!

[SFFanatic]

LOL @ letting internet pricks make you mad

[First To 5 Wins]

LOL Dropped? Yeah ok.

yeah actually. I've posted BG's before about it in the past. You're not the only slouch that drops though. Last time I played you you were doing shit from across the screen. I hope you get the opportunity to play offline more; with good players, and continue to improve your game :rock:

Legend of Lore....
I recoginze the username from this forum, but I don't know who that is..v:confused:v

Arguing? LOL this isn't an argument. I was just asking if you're still bad at game.

[Waggs313]

No im not still bad at this game. Im driving soon so hopefully I can drive up to some tournies or some arcades just to get some casuals in. Are there and Arcades by like East Brunswick New jersey guys?

Lol Legend of Taking Dick is Ryu1234

Im not a slouch, and I rarely do stuff from across the screen, now Im curious about this. Hahaha. I mean I dont deny that I was though. : )

I've never understood why some people come off with such a negative attitude in the Street Fighter community.

We ARE a community. This place is made up of your fellow players and peers.

Not everything has to be roses and flowers and happy little smiles, but I'd love to see more respect shown as a whole to people on this forum and in the community at large.

These are your fellow players. Respect them and respect yourself.

Fuck off hippie

[DevilJin 01]

I love where this thread is going.

As for people treating each other better as a whole...we're lucky it's not any worse. Just the way things are. You just have to get out there and play with the real players under real situations. That's all. XBL will just make you lazy and wont teach you how to play when it really counts.

teaches me more than the scrubs in my town.

[DevilJin 01]

teaches me more than the scrubs in my town.

If you live in a town with scrubs in an area where there's no real high level scene...then yeah that would make sense. Waggs on the other hand is like an hour at most away from some of the top players on the East Coast.

[Korin Zynn]

My advice Waggs is to take a small break. Maybe just not play it for a week. Like anything in life sometimes stuff becomes routine. For instance I went golfin last week and I kept hooking the ball. I couldn't stop doing it. So I didn't swing a club for two weeks, came back, and I was good to go. Sometimes you get stuck in habits and keep doing the same thing over and over. And as Yoda says, "you must unlearn what you have learned." Maybe I am going over the top with my theories but it works for me.

"Just the way things are," is an excuse.

As you said, don't be lazy. And actually try to build something.

Other games have strong communities, this could be one too — but it starts with having the people inside of it actually making the effort to build a stronger community.

[SF and PROS]

It's been tried buddy, so the old adage: "if you can't beat them, join them" resonates in this scenario quite loudly. There will never be any type of "respect" and "order" in this particular forum, because there are no mods......wild west it is.

[SuperSamyon]

That happens through publicity and sponsorship. People aren't going to magically be more polite to each other. It's when things become more professional and literally rules are enforced that things will ever really change. People still dont take fighting games that seriously as a whole (people aren't making a living off of fighting games as of yet) so there's no incentive to really get people to act a certain way. People aren't seeing how we act on national TV on a daily basis.

Especially over the internet on a message forum. People have been at each other's throats (both literally and virtually) over fighting games for years. Even on GameFAQs where people get modded over everything people still look for ways to make a holes of themselves online. It's sad to say "that's just the way things are" but that REALLY is the way things are. It's a competitive community and it's not like we are near each other to act in a "real life" matter in front of each other.

For a lot of people being a holes over the internet is what makes things interesting due to the inability to actually meet in person to play fighting games. Without the drama reading text all day would just be "hey GG's...oh btw GG's" etc etc. The only time good sportsmanship is ever interesting is during higher levels of play (offline tournaments, high level money matches etc). Otherwise it's just another GG that people just see and move on. It's interesting because it's always the BG's that catch people's attention or get on people's nerves.

I agree that the bad games and negative things catch people's eyes.

And being in this community for awhile, I think we can both safely say we'll never run out of that.

On the other hand, being cool with your fellow players can also be very interesting. Imagine if the tone of this thread primarily focused on helping Waggs313 get his swagger back.

There would be quite a few interesting tips and suggestions on how to regain your form if you're losing it. Something other players could look over to help get better.

There was some of that, but it would have been a lot better to see some of the veterans on this forum also throw their 2 cents in without the negativity.

It's ironic that you mention people being able to make money playing SF for a living. Because I think a big key to that is having a lot of competition that's at a really high level.

Building up our community and making others better while improving ourselves will help get us there.

[SF and PROS]

That I agree with ^^^

Still "our community" will continue to behave the way it does, if there is never any type of arbitrary force to referee the interactions of its members at least online (forum).

[catalyst_nc]

I also agree, but even then we can still choose the way we interact with those people, or maybe NOT interact with those people.

If people shut you out and don't listen to you, or you don't get a friendly response, sometimes that's enough for some people to change their ways.

But if I met the guy that was running his mouth, Im sure they would be like Oh Hey whats up, wanna play? I think the shit talk and all that jazz is keeping this interesting.

[artisticrage]

why does anyone listen to sf like he's not full of beans? :rofl:

Males have a different way of interacting with each other, and often times sarcasm, and other seemingly cruel ways of interacting are employed. Sensitivities are more typical of girls, who worry more about bonds and relationships. Furthermore, they often bond through words (conversation) while males bond through shared experiences. In other words, if you're not a girl, I don't see why you should react like one to typical male ways of interacting.

why does anyone listen to sf like he's not full of beans? :rofl:

So now you're going to be my stalker? Follow me around and post little bullshit that has nothing to do about you to try to piss me off? Autistic: Why is it that it bothers you to know that I can whip you at 3S blindfolded? Want to play again, and have me take a picture of the drop screen?

[catalyst_nc]

From my experience, this is a maturity issue. I knew plenty of guys in high school and in college that behaved this way, but now that I'm out of that part of my life — you rarely see it.

It all depends on who you hang out with I guess, but the sarcasm and cruel ways go by the wayside when you find and develop better tools for interacting with people.

[SF and PROS]

I agree, but you're failing to look at the context surrounding Waggs sensitivities (as an example) such as the fact that this is not work, or church. It is if only metaphorically a kind of locker room, and I don't think any of the fellows that post here have ever had the chance to drink brandy at their local gym's locker room per say, if you get my drift.

Like I said, if you can't beat them....join them.
