A different type of fighting gamer stereotype.

[Digitalbooty]

I've thought about this a lot of and on, but the other stereotype threads made me decide to share this.

It seems there's some common aspects of players with certain fighting games. Of course, there are exceptions to every stereotype, but these seem universal for the most part.

3rd Strike player:

Complete stoner. Usually hippyish looking (long hair, beards.) These guys can sit at home all day with a dime bag and figure out every single normalfrom every character that will beat Chun's c.mk, clean (then forget it all later.) They can play with stick AND pad because "have you ever played Urien with a pad... on weed?" I also always hear these people say, "wanna chief and play some 3s?" and they also think they play better high.

Marvel player:

I don't know why, but it usually seems like Marvel is nothing but some legit hustlers (cause I'm sure some are) and some not-so-legit wanna be gangsters. These dudes take this game as serious as possible and either put up some real money to play or talk WAY too much shit. These dudes ALWAYS represent their local arcade/scene and usually create the most drama for their respective game.

Guilty Gear player:

Younger goth anime nerds. These dudes are usually pad scrubs and think there game is freaking SACRED or something. Usually roll in pretty tight nit groups for fear of being seen and beat up by the Marvel players. A lot of them are know-it-all smart asses and argue about shit you don't care about (ie, how to pronounce character names.) These players have been known to ban THE dumbest shit from certian GG tournies like "joysticks" and Millia's "hair move." lol

Super Turbo player:

Thirty-something married man that barely has time to make it to tourneis, but somehow convinces his wife this is the "last one" he's attending. Usually the most normal looking of all the fighting game players and always talk about "the good old days." These dudes usually play CvS2, too. I don't know why.

I play all of these games and I know these aren't true for everyone, but this is something I've noticed out of most of the players I see.

Anyone else notice any other stereotypes like this?

ps - SNK players:

Cross hand.

arcana heart/melty blood/eternal fighter zero players

long greasy hair, unkempt peach fuzz facial hair, extreme pale, acne ridden face, hawaiian shirts, cheeto stained undershirt, generally awkward demeanor, either horrendously obese or anorexic thin, drools over 10 year old girls that pass them on the street

Oh? Not the ones I know, or myself.

[...~*jase*~...]

marvel players are stoners/drug dealers

[-=KOH=-]

Vampire Savior players are family.

[Mizuki]

Lol, hmmm ST, CvS2, and Melty Blood. I totally don't fit any of those things...

[Ouroborus]

lol, me and my friend were talkin about this the other day.

i agree with everything except the 3s crowd. the 3s crowd are usually professionals that has a well paying job.

cvs2 crowd is a mix of everything from what i noticed.

mvc2 cats are the coolest. ggxx is easily the lamest. although like always, theres exceptions. reno crew is tight.

Honestly I'm the only pudgy anime otaku *** stereotype in the mb community on ec.

[pherai]

Thats true of most of the AI and IF crews, although some of the people that travel further are leaning towards your stereotypicaly MB player. The skinny asians just happen to be the ones that played well and thus got recorded (not me and other non asians).

[Master Chibi]

Stay away from the camera then :annoy:!!!!!!!!!!!!!1!1

[spudlyff8fan]

[Kuenai]

Man, there are some fucked-up stereotypes in here. Btw, I haven't seen ANY GG players that fit that description. And the area I live in? Full of goths/emo kids that argue over how to pronounce names, etc.

Except Danny. Nvm.... :lol:

[Raph_Stryker]

ha...not really any of those gg stereotypes fits us in houston either

heres a sample

I used to look like a 3s player by your discription, but I'm a cvs2/sf2 player.

That isn't even close to the guilty gear community...on the east coast anyway...

STOP STALKING ME! oh wait hawaiian shirt nevermind.

[polarity]

the nerdiness of a game's scene is inversely proportional to the number of black people in it

seriously, i dont get it. take any white guy into comic books, video games, anime or whatever and on average (not always but usually) theyll be terribly dressed, unwashed and socially awkward. take black guys into those same things and you get like, ghostface killah, mf doom, del... WHY DONT YOU PEOPLE KNOW HOW TO BE NERDY RIGHT

[(RedBeard)]

Most of the Guilty Gear players I've met aren't "anime fags", or goth for that matter, on the East Coast. Heh I find the whole Marvel=Big bad bully, GG=Skinny little nerd who gets his lunch money stolen comparison hilarious because it's really not like that.

I think the reason Guilty Gear players come off as thinking their game is "SACRED" is because the game gets bashed all the fucking time for no reason and it's actually a good fighting game if someone took the time to learn it.

One thing you're right about though is that GG seems to have more pad players than any other game :crybaby:

[Kayin]

I like how polarity pretends to know about overseas fighting game scenes.

Agreed.

[Dandy J]

guilty gear players arent anime fags theyre just fags

also vf players are old stupid guys who wont play any other fighting games

[BoringRyu]

tekken guys are 16 years old nerds who ALWAYS think their game is way better than virtua fighter

doa4 is the same too!

[orka]

gg community is the worst out of all major fighting game communities. it's true. the midwest is less flaming though.


but i'm only taking real fighting games into account (no doujin stuff).

[Digitalbooty]

Like I said, this is just stuff I've seen. I play all the games I mentioned. When I think of some of the top players, some of this stuff seems true, too.


ps, I knew people would get pissed about GG the most. I admit, it's not really that bad, I was just picking on them for fun.

[sonicspear64]

One thing you're right about though is that GG seems to have more pad players than any other game :crybaby:

For me Guilty Gear's pace goes a little too fast for the characters that I use that I have no choice but to use pad in it. I use sticks for just about every other game except Guilty Gear so it's all good :tup:

[purifyweirdsoul]

At least like over half of the top US GG players are black lol. I know of people like what was mentioned, but they're all anime con scrubs. 3S is the biggest game in NC and I don't know anyone that fits with the hippy thing. Marvel's just mainly hype, not so much gangster shit.

I think GG having more pad players is just a symptom of it being the younger generation's game. most GG players, as far as I've seen, got into competitive gaming with GG and so they never really had a foundation in arcades/playing stick.

I'm pretty much like that...aside from a little XvsSF and mvc1 when I was younger. Most of the good players around here are stick-only...I'm one of the few decent pad players. Some characters require a stick, imo (I-no, Robo Ky, Johnny..)

[Rik]

You know i gotta say, from my experience people who r usually big fighting game nerds tend to be the most well rounded and diverse folks i know. Almost all the guys in my area r either in university, have active social live good jobs and even in some case"girlfriends". Gaming is like literally something on the side, we only ever play like once or twice a month. I havnt really noticed this for like other groups of nerds, like RPG or FPS nuts.

[Baofu]

No such stereotypes up in Bizarroland, except us Canucks, eh?

[Bobbypigo]

I think marvel has the stoner stereotype down.

There is nothing stereotypical about our stoners! :smokin:


fighting game players in general have little or almost no life aspirations

You shut up!!! You shut up now!! I aspire to beat all Street fighters using only charge moves and the 1p button.

[orka]

you're obviously joking... and from seeing that you listed "finance" for occupation, you gotta be doing something decent.

but you know what i mean when i refer to the general public.

[woof]

the part about 90% of all gg players being pad warriors is true for no goddamn reason


WHY do they use pad aflskf

[BoringRyu]

the part about 90% of all gg players being pad warriors is true for no goddamn reason


WHY do they use pad aflskf

i guess it's because finding a gg cab is already hard enough, asking a nerd who thinks robo-ky is overpowered in slash to find one is even harder!

also the gg part seems to be about gg players who go to cons or some shit. i could win an animecon tournament if i was stoned out of my mind and didn't even have something to control my character with.

[Boleslaw]

Mortal Kombat, not talkin bout 3d but the OG guys

Yeah. . :rofl: But I couldnt help it, also if I keep posting all day on this site I will no longer be working in finance.

Who repped me? Is there any way to find that out? Thanks for the rep though!

[Josh-TheFunkDOC]

I will also vouch for the GGXX pad thing, though that seems to be mostly just the scrubs. You DO have Juicy George however - dude's an arcade OG and STILL plays pad! He and Final Showdown are about the only actual good ones I've seen who use it. Well, Kenji/KBnova, but he's retired now.

Tekken scene has more pad warriors than GG, easily. Slips, Spero Gin, Brian H, and some others just on EC alone; hell, back in the TTT days, Honkey#1 could Korean lightdash on a pad! Same thing with Soul Calibur, too, but that's always been a console-focused series.

From all my travels, I really don't see any stereotypes with 3s. This makes sense seeing as it's the most popular game. Marvel & Tekken definitely have the highest black representation from what I've seen. Nerdy Asians EVERYWHERE obviously, with some wannabe thug ones mixed in. GG scene seems to get less anime ***gy as you move up in skill level - see Nevada, Chicago, Cali OGs, etc.

Melty Blood is otaku shit no matter where you are, though. I think they even asked Ruu or Mint at Evo last year and he said pretty much this exact same thing. =P

[Sabin]

theres less than 30 arcana players in the USA, so i duno where ur getting your stereotypes from :P

[Humbag]

Bah, people are people.

[Fadedsun303]

I've never met one long haired hippy that's played 3S.

I've never met anyone that fits any of these stereotypes, actually.

I think the only time you'll see the GG stereotype is if you're at an anime convention. And none of those people know anything about the game anyways.

[supermin]

cvs2 players are the coolest people on earth :smokin:

[Lebowsk1]

The UK scene is quite varied, but most London players seem to use the latest London slang that nearly passed me by entirely (makes me feel old).

So, ahem... if I go to a ranking battle I hope to see "bare mans" (no homo). That would be "tick" or, indeed, "boom". But if that skank Chun Li doesnt "dead" soon, it's gonna get "arms house" in 'ere. Raggo, blaytant innit.

Hm. I think I'll stick with the likes of "mate, that's wicked!" More my era. :pleased:

he could be a bean counter at a factory or a wall street investor. I dont get the assumption...

I know fighting game players on both ends of the social spectrum...i dont give a damn if they shovel shit/or in g.w.bush's cabinet...as long as they're cool. I think everyone agree's on that.

i just dont agree with stereotypes, because I was nailed in one of those, but the completely wrong game.

Super Smash Brothers-All of it's clientele are about 13 years old and to scared to jump into a "true"fighting game.Many new fighting gamer's start at this beginnger level,before branching off into one of 6 Main path's(3rd Strike,CvS2,MVC2,Super Turbo,Virtua Fighter,Guilty Gear)

Keep in mind it wasn't all meant to be true or serious so no offense to Smash Bros players(Because I play the game as well on occasion).Remember that part of Stereotypes are truth and the other part is your own interepretation :rofl:.

[Henaki]

most 3s players i know are just college students with dumb shit talk

That was sooooo me back when MK3 came out, minus the long hair. All black clothes, trench, boots, Marilyn Manson, and MK3. I was like 14 or something.

OMG, the memories.

and i thought those slang words were old :wow:


iv learned to just speak, if you approach slang words often you end up picking it up anyway, with or without wanting to :bluu:

games need some kinda media coverage, cos who gives a shit about majority style when nobody cares outside of teen years, and even then because its fighting games people prefer to just play :cool:

edit: errr... then again, maybe we dont need media after all, unless ofcourse you want fighting games to be devastatingly competitive like sports

but i'm only taking real fighting games into account (no doujin stuff).
In my internets experience guys in #efz are very nice; maybe a little nerdy/naive and they don't have a very fun sense of humor (maybe it's because some of them are from China and they just don't pick up sarcasm very well) but they are cool. I dunno about IaMP crowd but I'd wager that they are mostly the same. They never talk shit about other games or have stupid ass opinions like gg or mb players.

melty blood players might be worse than gg players though but i am not about to try and find out

i mean you cant be a very happy person when your favorite game is melty blood

cause you know

melty blood sucks

Guilty Gear player:

Younger goth anime nerds. These dudes are usually pad scrubs and think there game is freaking SACRED or something. Usually roll in pretty tight nit groups for fear of being seen and beat up by the Marvel players. A lot of them are know-it-all smart asses and argue about shit you don't care about (ie, how to pronounce character names.) These players have been known to ban THE dumbest shit from certian GG tournies like "joysticks" and Millia's "hair move." lol

That is so true!! At least in my case. The only guys i know who are seriously into Guilty gear, are the extremely dorky, anti-social types.

This one group in particular i know of around my campus, they like to hold their own silly GG tournaments from time to time(mainly their own close-nit group) those guys literally broke me of Guilty gear.

The group was composed of such nerdy, up-tight asshats, that i can't bear to even look at GG anymore because it just makes me think of those jerks. They're pad warriors too, and couldn't play on a stick to save their pathetic lives.

I agree, since the group of GG players i mentioned earlier were also big into Melty Blood at one time too.

Melty blood does SUCK, i played it but only because a friend of mine wanted me too. Otherwise i'd rather play a real fighter with characters that don't suck(Only MB char i ever gave a damn about was nero).

Edit: The character selection sucked too. Nothing but one anime schoolgirl cliche after another. Once again only Nero stood out in what was otherwise a retarded cast.

My boy Hold Dat got third at EVO East with a pad in 3S. So yeah......Also, the GG scene here in NYC doesn't even come close to those stereotypes. Our scene has a bunch cool and calm players. A few nerds here and there, but not as much as what you guys are probably seeing. I guess it's up to where you live.

Marvel players are loud. Always.

[Master Chibi]

Man MB doesn't even have enough of a community to put a fucking stereotype onto, what the fuck are you people basing on?

I think you'd be better off saying:

"The people I know that play Melty Blood are the bane of humanity," instead of generalizing so easily (even given the topic at hand).

Damn, extremely stupid shit to hate, bringing up shit like 'a REAL game'. Go ahead and hate it to your hearts content, just dont' ever tell me it isn't a real game. Get over youselves.

:rofl:

Edit: The character selection sucked too. Nothing but one anime schoolgirl cliche after another. Once again only Nero stood out in what was otherwise a retarded cast.

I call bullshit. There's only ONE 'anime schoolgirl' on the cast. The character types may not completely be original (ie a tsundere character, a loli character, vampire, etc) but I'll be damned if you can't tell me that their gameplay mechanics are pretty damn unique and diverse.

Fucking moron.

[Shadowcuz]

I dont really see any of these stereotypes when it comes to GG, alot of the players here a bunch of normal folks. As for pad users, its mostly Tekken players from what ive seen.

[Giza]

Damn the cast of Melty Blood is boring.

[True Grave]

I call bullshit. There's only ONE 'anime schoolgirl' on the cast. The character types may not completely be original (ie a tsundere character, a loli character, vampire, etc)

Most of the cast consisted of anime girl #1, anime girl #2, etc. With Half of them being slightly different variations of the other girls present. The few male characters that were there all sucked except for nero.

Pretty sad. I can accept one cliched female anime sterotype, but not a cast mainly of them. Sorry MB just was not my cup o'tea.

[Violent By Design]

I didn't really understand the 3rd strike stereotype. I never seen any hippies playing 3rd strike.

See you can't tell me the differences, you're just hiding behind your sorry ass excuse on what you think is wrong with the game.

Again, I said it's fine to not like the game; for it not to be your cup of tea, but don't give bullshit reasons like what you're spewing right now. What can you compare 'anime girl #1' to anyway? What other game before MB had validity to compare it to? GG? You're going to tell me anime girl #1 plays like Millia or Jam? Yeah ok buddy.

Arcuied doesn't play anything like Warcuied, Mech Hisui doesn't play anything like Hisui, and Vermillion Akiha plays vastly different then regular Akiha, to the point where she's looked at to be the best in the game.

I should give up anyway, these arguements never go past the disorder of the frontal lobe of the person I'm talking to.

I'm not giving you any excuses, just saying that i didn't like the game, with the heavily cliched anime girl line-up being one of the reasons for that.

Disagree if you like, but it won't change my opinion of MB. Also the fighting system i thought was average at best too, and nothing to write home about.

See if you had said the above beforehand instead of:

Melty blood does SUCK, i played it but only because a friend of mine wanted me too. Otherwise i'd rather play a real fighter with characters that don't suck(Only MB char i ever gave a damn about was nero).

Then it wouldn't have been a waste of half a page to squeeze it out of you.

[H-F Blade]

Well, MB you can tell it's pretty obvious by its character lineup that it's H-bait which is kinda why a lot of people see its cast as unoriginal or mediocre at best. :\ The way the characters play is really not that diverse. For the most part like 90% of the characters can follow the same basic formula of poke-hitconfirm into launcher-air combo-air throw. Blockstrings follow a similar formula but substituting whiff cancels here and there. The playstyles really aren't all that fleshed out. But that doesn't mean I don't know how to have fun with the game, because I do. But I'm willing to point out its shortcomings as well as its strengths.

[True Grave]

Yeah like i said, i didn't care much for the fighting system. Someone here(don't remember who) once had an avatar that stated: "MB is GG for retarded otakus".

I suppose i'd have to agree with that statement.

God H-F, I know the game has its shortcomings, but the last thing I need is to sit here and actually argue about it with you. I wasn't arguing over it's faults, I was arguing how he decided to address them, ie 'mb not being a real fighter' and what have you.

I mean the faults your talking about are applicable to every fighting game ever with a twist here or there. I also disagree on the playstyles not being fleshed out, I mean what revision are we on now? Don't give me that.

I'm not here to argue with you man. :\ And I was merely stating what I thought about it. And even if the faults I was referring to are present in every other fighting game, they're pretty subtle or not as glaring. And I honestly don't think the playstyles feel as fleshed out compared to a lot of the other games I've played. That's what I meant. And I'm not hating on the game either. I play it after all. :|

It seems there's some common aspects of players with certain fighting games. Of course, there are exceptions to every stereotype, but these seem universal for the most part.

3rd Strike player:

Complete stoner. Usually hippyish looking (long hair, beards.) These guys can sit at home all day with a dime bag and figure out every single normalfrom every character that will beat Chun's c.mk, clean (then forget it all later.) They can play with stick AND pad because "have you ever played Urien with a pad... on weed?" I also always hear these people say, "wanna chief and play some 3s?" and they also think they play better high.

Marvel player:

I don't know why, but it usually seems like Marvel is nothing but some legit hustlers (cause I'm sure some are) and some not-so-legit wanna be gangsters. These dudes take this game as serious as possible and either put up some real money to play or talk WAY too much shit. These dudes ALWAYS represent their local arcade/scene and usually create the most drama for their respective game.

Guilty Gear player:

Younger goth anime nerds. These dudes are usually pad scrubs and think there game is freaking SACRED or something. Usually roll in pretty tight nit groups for fear of being seen and beat up by the Marvel players. A lot of them are know-it-all smart asses and argue about shit you don't care about (ie, how to pronounce character names.) These players have been known to ban THE dumbest shit from certian GG tournies like "joysticks" and Millia's "hair move." lol

Super Turbo player:

Thirty-something married man that barely has time to make it to tourneis, but somehow convinces his wife this is the "last one" he's attending. Usually the most normal looking of all the fighting game players and always talk about "the good old days." These dudes usually play CvS2, too. I don't know why.

I play all of these games and I know these aren't true for everyone, but this is something I've noticed out of most of the players I see.

Anyone else notice any other stereotypes like this?

ps - SNK players:

Cross hand.

You're definatly right about that Marvel stereotype. Nothing but du-rags and baggy pants at Marvel, specificaly, MVC2.

I remember when i hustled this kid 20 bucks from that game. I challenged him. pride got the best of him, so he accepted.
he was good, too.
but i cheated on his ass. my man grabbed him and lifted him up off his feet, allowing me to waste him with some cheap ass throw.

he knew we cheated, though. he was like "no, i dont wanna pay you cheatin ass niggas".

so we threatened him. he payed me REAL quick then.

I have long hair and i smoke some weed but im not a stoner and DEFFENITLY not a hippy. Also playing high makes me FAr worse a player. I do love me some 3S though.

XvSF: pretty casual, laid back nice guys who occasionally wear sandals. Aren't as mysterious as the MSHvSF players: lurking in the shadows, thinking they're badass because their game has a Japanese tourist in it but are probably much more nerdy than the MvC players- they themselves being just as cool as the MvC2 players...only with 1/2 the shit talking and 1/8 the gangstadom.

"This forum requires that you wait 150 seconds between posts. Please try again in 56 seconds." Jesus, am I an eager beaver :-\

But I'd have to agree with the "GG anime" thing. The reason why most play it is because they geek out on how the graphics are anime-esque.

Giza:"Super Smash Bros Melee-
New age hippies. Gay, peace loving hippies. Gay hippies that need to buy a new purse or more styluses for their pink Nintendo DS so they jack up the prices of their tournaments to unbelievable costs."

Someone must like their new purse.
