Under what conditions do you not accept challenges!!!

[Shinshay]

Okay its 6:19AM on EC and I am at work :tdown:, so I just thought of making this new thread, since Hyperbomber asked me why I didn't accept his challenge yesterday. The thing is that me and hyperbomber have actually played offline, but I don't recognize his XBL tag which is Colt Steele(I think).

So the question is just what the title says:

Under what conditions do you not accept challenges?

Here are mine below:

1: If you are a known dropper.
2: If I've played you and you dropped on me before.
3: If its possible that I think that you may drop on me.
4: If your win record isn't between 50 - 100% out of your total game count. (<---Most of the time, there have been exceptions)
5: If your account is a fresh account (ie 0 out of 0 matches) or anything below 100 games usually.
6: If your a bitch who usually spits stupid shit into the mic when you play.
7: If I am waiting for another player.

Other than that, I accept any and all challenges. :tup:

Now, I know that some people are going to see this and prolly put me on blast, like saying,"who does this guy think he is?" But I am being honest and I don't think that anyone should get on me for that.

But anyway, I encourage you guys and girls to say what you feel. Please post your conditions and give feedback to others. I made this thread cause I was just curious to see if people thought like me or otherwise.

There's is no reason for me to say anything really. I agree with you "100%"!!!
Those rules are EXACTLY what I use to choose my challenges.
One thing that I do want to say is that I hate when people look at a win ratio and see that it is 50-100% while there's is more like 20-30% and they still challenge. Then when they get owned they decide to drop. Come on lets be serious what do you think was gonna happen? Lag would be on your side and carry you all the way to victory?

[Liam R.]

the only reason I won't accept challenges is if the person has actually dropped on me before. I will leave after one match if there's mega lag. I will leave after a couple matches if my opponent switches characters every round.

I will drop on character select screen if I'm already getting input delay or the opponent picks Gill...

edit: I dont really think win ratio is a valid way to decide who or who doesn't get to fight you... because it doesnt mean that much honestly. On my old live account (der liam) I had won like 40% of matches played and beat peeps with 70-90% matches won (and usually got dropped on afterwards).

I imported SF:AC from japan a couple months before its US release, as soon as it came stateside there were about a zillion fresh accounts flooding the match listings... if I wanted to sit on my ass all day back then and play noobs who don't understand the game I could've gotten a staggeringly high win ratio even though decent tournament-level players would still fuck my shit up.

[savalas]

When the game becomes a little long in the tooth, and the player online become few and far between, you'll be playing any and all of the 'players' in your list.

Only if you play Hyper :tup:

[complexz]

is the win/loose ratio really a good way to tell who drops?
i personally have never really been dropped on by a low ranking guy

and have been dropped on by almost every S or SS rank ive played

most of them have their good ratios due to the dropping...unless im totally mistaken ..but dropping doesent give you a loss or a round played right? (forgive me..still reasonably new to the live SF thing)

me too.

[Liam R.]

if the match ends (someone drops) before a winner is decided than both players get a loss on their record. however, a winner is instantly recorded once a player is KO'd. so a player could steal his opponent's win by dropping when he is on his last leg of life. it happens to me a lot when, for example, I stun someone and they know I have enough damage potential to finish them off in stun.

most drops are post-KO however, so you'll get your win anyway. the reason I write up post-KO droppers in BGs is not because I care about the win is so people know that playing that person is going to be a waste of time. it's not sportsmanlike, and I may have said this before but I see it as the online SF equivelant of flipping over a checkerboard when you lose. who wants to play a game with someone like that?

[complexz]

ahh thanks for explanation

ive won quite a few times and the drop RIGHT as the KO appears and i have not been credited with the win...doesent botherr me alot if its the first round...but i get pissed if the guy takes a win off me THEN robs me of mine..

[R.P.D rookie]

Meh, I just don't accept challenges from people that I've had drop on me before *cough SIOAKS *cough. Other than that, I take on all challengers cause I don't consider myself an elite player, so I accept the challenges of anything from SS all the way to Q rank people. The way I look at it: they're just trying to get a match going and I know what that's all about. So if I start a game with a person new to the game that's still learning the ropes, I just take it easy. Just casual crap, certainly isn't nice to acept a person's challenge and then beat them into the dirt.

[Mango91]

I usually only play people that post here. :)

I agree. although i'd rather be playing someone with skill, i'll play the lower graded players. The way i see it, by the time i get a couple matches in with them, they'll hopefully have learned something (spamming SRKs on wakeup), and new ppl will have logged on. i'd rather play than wait in the lobby forever...

[champ42285]

ya'll are all right!!!!

[Chachi]

I decline challenges from

Known droppers
Known lag abusers
Known Gill users
Known assholes


Other than that, I'll give anyone at least a couple of matches, and hopefully get some feedback on here on how it went for them, and anything I needed to work on...

[savalas]

I don't get it. You all would rather sit in the lobby for an hour or more than play a known dropper? Are your records that important to you?

I play droppers all the time, if anything, to piss them off, especially if they have skill. Hell, I've dropped quite a few times myself, but people still want to play me, because they know it will be a good match, drop or not.

While you're sitting in the lobby, I'm playing and honing my skills to be better than you, even if I'm getting dropped on.

Seriously, who the hell do you think you guys are? The elite? Daigo's understudies? As my boy O.Don says: "Get the fuck out!"

[ramza]

that's fuckin HYPER man, there isn't a minute that passes by without at least one person hosting a game on 3S.

[hold dat]

personally i accept any and all challenges. there always potential to have a good match or start a rivalry or make a new firend. droppers dont even bother any more...its all part of the online street fighter experience...like sabre said you really cant take it too seriously

[Projectjustice]

Thats exactly how I feel. There are some assholes online that are known droppers that I avoid since they care about their rank instead of getting better. I play anyone regardless of online stats. I dont take online too serious, i do get upset at times when I lose due to lag but its part of the online game. Besides online doesnt measure true skill, but it does give you variety in comp thus making you more aware to different styles of players. It really helps offline when someone tries a strategy vs you that you already experienced.

[Mikee_Showbiz]

4: If your win record isn't between 50 - 100% out of your total game count. (<---Most of the time, there have been exceptions)

You know, when I used to play 3S, I'd never really hang around to play against someone I could beat quite easily but I'd always stick around when I was losing, so my win ratio ended up fairly lopsided (around 33%). Plus the higher the win ratio, the more wary I am of the player dropping. So win ratios are not really the best way to judge.

What's the harm in playing one game and seeing the skill levels from that?

[ni-ten]

I only refused to play with people that
lag too bad.
So plz don't feel offended.
Also if someone's too boring(and those are very few),i leave after
one or two games.

[silent shade]

For me... if you drop dont bother playing me anymore... because that lables you suck already

[sidewinder]

i play everybody... you never knows... :encore:

Yeah, this is true about the win ratio. Like I know eventually the amount of games that I've won will even out to exactly 50%. Then I will consider myself as the not so good playa, lol.

Anyways this thread is really getting good. It's good to know how you guys think. Another thing that I found funny though is the fact that the people that you deny matches from, they come back to try and play you again later. Also I see those same people posting on SRK, but I don't put them out there.

[complexz]

anyone know how the letter rank system works?

im like 2 ranks higher than everyone in my point area always even tho sometimes i have a worse ratio AND less points

[Anticon27]

if that was partly aimed towards me, it was cause I enjoyed our matches. I was up for an hour or 2 playing shitty players and droppers then you joined my game and played a Patient solid Ken. I was having fun and you left the set tied 3-3 so being as competitive as I am I wanted to keep playing. Didn't mean to be an asshole or anything. I was simply enjoying our matches.
No hard feelings man :tup:

[aznflict]

if i challenge someone, and they decline, i'll challenge them again right away. the reason for this is because they might've accidentally hit "no". if they refuse a second time, then i leave them alone, cuz they might be waiting for a friend, etc... so if you get challenged a couple times, and decline, don't lose your cool. i highly doubt the person is being annoying on purpose, they might just want to double check...

Oh no man, this isn't aimed towards you, the people that I am reffering to know who they are. I enjoyed our matches as well, but playing against a patient Urien in Lag is just a little difficult for me so I thought that I would just hit you back later man thats all. Also I just got off work as I work the night shift...7pm to 7am so I was just drained pretty much.

Either way man, I look forward to playing more with you in the future and that goes for all the folks on SRK aside from a select few :tup: .

Yep he is a droper. The only reason I play him is to make him drop again.

[DaliPicard]

I only play ppl I know so if I decline don't take it personally.

I would rather sit in the lobby for about 4 hours then play a known dropper cause that shit isn't fun. I mean I wouldn't literally do that, but wtf is the point if you already know how the game is going to end. I don't think that I am elite but I am pretty damn decent. Now my homeboy exodus is elite. Anyways see you all online.

[Ki Shima]

i play anyone

when i reached around 130 ranking i only faced top top players even if my ass got used as a mop, i remember one time i faced the current number 1 i think i was rank 140 summit, we played for ages, he was using ken (and yun i think) i was using sean/yun/dudley/ryu/ken the score was like 70-8 LOL all were good matches

think now tho when im on form i can compete with the best because my time spent online werent spent on getting a good ranking it was on improving myself

by the time i reached 20's i really didnt care much about who i faced at all, i faced sum begginers 0-0 and gave them a free win with a lesson, i gave a few 100 ranking people a few free wins aswell, but i made it clear that i did, whoever i faced i made sure i played at their level with a short burst of mine

ill play anyone even droppers, i remember i got alot of droppers i just hunted them down LOL the funniest one was where he dropped, i hunted him down and when he threw me in a match he taunted then dropped lol

ivnever dropped on anyone, well one person i think he was spamming akuma's hurricane kick argh that was bloody annoying espeacialy when he taunted everytime he won a round LOL but after awhile i didnt mind spamming players because i just needed to practise parrying their moves

anyway yeah, i play/ed anyone that wanted a challenge.. well untill american begginers came and kept challenging me while complaining down the mic lol if you cant win and cant take it why challenge me? weird lol

loved the good american players tho it was interesting how they played a little bit diffrent to european players :tup:

[xXxDa_RaGexXx]

Fuck that put them on blast.

[gguseila]

Ill play whoever as long as I dont remember off the top of my head if they dropped on me before. I dont hang around for long sets though anymore since im at the U and dont get to play much. Good or new to the game, ill usually play whoever.

Some of you all are way too serious about this though, just chill and play to have fun.

[Shadowhaxor]

If I play you one or two matches and there is really bad lag. I can take a freeze here and there, but when I freeze and when I sync back, I'm eating a combo or can't even block a sweep... I'm done after the match is over.

Now, after tonite, and cheap scrub as that picks Gill + lag tactics.... Instant Drop. I don't care, don't pick his ass.

[16 Bit]

I'll play anyone. I usually don't even pay much attention to the challenge screen. If they drop or pick Gill I'll refuse their games for the rest of the night but by the next day I'll probably have forgotten.

[DaliPower]

i play anyone who doesnt have a mute icon by their name.

[Shoryuken0504]

I play everybody... I didn't buy this game to reject people online... unlike some people

[Shinshay]

I play everybody... I didn't buy this game to reject people online... unlike some people
Ha, some of those people deserve to get rejected as well as a swift kick to the mouth. But hey to each his own right :tup:

[Big War]

Shinshay never accepts my challenge. Must be too good or something.

[Shoryuken0504]

Ha, some of those people deserve to get rejected as well as a swift kick to the mouth. But hey to each his own right :tup:


Haha that's true as well but people like that (who pick Gill or what have you) I still play and whoop thier ass just so they know thier place. One guy sat there and waited to see who I picked so I figured he'd counter pick Ken if I picked my usual Twelve so I picked my next character, Ken. Right after that he runs to Gill and picks him :rolleyes: . I still play him and end up whooping his Gill haha. WAD :karate: . You gotta put those losers in thier spot.

[Shinshay]

Shinshay never accepts my challenge. Must be too good or something.
Hey BIGSto, sorry man I didn't recognize your name from here so thats why I didn't accept. I was thinking that this guy may drop on me or something, no offense, but from now on I'll make sure that I'll accept all your games. I had the same problem with Bray Galis once and now I play him all the time lol.

Shoryuken0504: true dat, I see where you coming from. I can honestly say that out of all the times that I picked a character and was countered with Gill I won only 2 of those games. I swear that 1 of those doesn't even count though cause I think that I was playing like a 6 year old haha.

[Shoryuken0504]

Haha damn kids and thier Gill. You wanna play a few matches? I won't pick Gill :rofl:

[Shoryuken0504]

Another thing you people who don't accept people who have over a .500 record I don't uderstand you. Oh this guy wins over half of his/her games and probally gets dropped 25% of the time so he must be good... I don't want to play him/her...please :karate:. Unless you baught this game to go online and destroy people who don't know how to play then be my guest.

[AkkitoSohma]

The conditions when I dont accept matches is when...Well when that person really starts to get on my nerves,when that person gets boring,when that person doesnt accept any of MY challenges withou a good reason,etc.

[XEN MASTER MARK]

I generally play anyone and everyone; Gill pickers, the lot. You're missing out on ~5% of the game if he never gets played :)

I understand peoples frustration with dodgy 'S' ranks. You figure something is up at the match screen, but give them the benefit of the doubt, only to be proven right when they turn out to be completely hopeless. They're obviously so concerned with winning that they're going to pull out every cheap trick in the book to scrape through.

You just signed up for 2 to 3 rounds of repeated Alex stomps, air fireballs or hurricane kicks. You spend these rounds all too aware that even if you win, you're going to see a little black message box where your big fat "K.O" should be.

[Spin4u]

Then when they get owned they decide to drop. Come on lets be serious what do you think was gonna happen? Lag would be on your side and carry you all the way to victory?

what you hope for*READ ABOVE*

HYPOCRITE HYOPCRITE!!!!!!!!! to the F N max... You droped me twice after i beat you and we played more than once. Damn dude you need to watch what you say. Cause your making yourself look like and ass.
oh btw> my XBL tag is herrpies. I umm how did you put it owned you with my Q sa3 a+ and you droped me. your such an idiot.

i am not rude but this guy does what he bitches about what others do to him. which is just stupid..

shinshay. i played a few times. sad to say 2 of the the maybe 4 games were laggy but i had good matches with you..

So your telling me you would rather wait 4 hours for a good game then just to play a noob or low rank and practice parrying? i still dont understand how you can do that?
oh and theres been time when i am in the lobby and nobody has created or joined for atleast 30mins so who ever said that not 1 min goes by there wrong..

aegist reflect, gwellish, let blood run, anime ho. I hope to play you guys again and have good matches with out using the damn xbox controller. I NEED A CONVERTER!!!

[Shinshay]

Haha, man you are one of the most rudest people that i've played on live. I mean, I have another account when I had to curse your ass for being rude. You called me a name because I was playing a patient Ken on PAD might I add. So I guess you thought that I wasn't going to say anything? So thats when I found you again when I got my stick and scraped you, but don't worry I'll never play you again cause I don't want to waste anymore time. Now don't get me wrong, I am really humble, but if you disrespect me then I got to say something.

Oh if you don't remember the name, its Ronzo Axlei and yes I would rather wait a few hours as long as I don't have to play a Tommy Dickhead who makes me want to throw something at them for whatever the negative reason. Peace

[Big War]

GGs Shinshay. I couldnt parry a gd wakeup to save my life. Every time i got knocked down i knew you were gonna cr short XX throw. Doesnt matter b/c i couldnt parry shit. Anyways GGs. And i couldnt tech a throw to save my life either. Just a hint of lag causes a different game i guess.

[Spin4u]

Haha, man you are one of the most rudest people that i've played on live.
i tried to be nice with you but if you want to bring up matches fine recall hugo sa1 that owned your ken...b++ on a pad*if i might add. yea i called you a *** and you were playing beyond patient ken. so quit the bs with the humble crap.
*if you think i am lieing then ill be glad to post a vid up. i record some of my matches*S ranks, good/bad, gay players(you)and H2 live games)

[Shinshay]

Well lets see...how can you try to be nice to someone after you call them a faggot. Well all I can say is that this faggot pretty much cursed you out and owned your hugo at the same time, all I heard was so many excuses about how you don't have your controller blah blah blah. It's not the controller that messes your game up, ITS YOU. Ha faggot thats too funny, but yet your name is herpies online o_O.

Also I really don't care to see any of your lame ass vids cause I know that you won most of those with skill lack there of and you still on that faggot shit I see by trying to impress me, wtf.

Also again, must I reiterate that this is XBL and lag will fuck your game up so on that note please do well in a real tourney before coming to me with any BS on how good you are. :lame:

Oh and GGs to you as well BIGsto, I would've played more, but I had to work. Lataz.

[True_Tech]

i veeeeeery rarely play optimatch if you're not in srklive then i probably won't play you so if anyone has seen me host a game and wonder why i won't accept a challenge its most likely cause i'm waiting for someone on srklive who isn't on my friendslist yet

[Spin4u]

considering hugo is my worse and qualifying char on xbl to see if your worth playing again and got an A+x2 on ur ass and that you dont admit it is kinda lame. except it and shut up..
herrpies on Halo 2 is the best name ever. everybody says so.
*and that the fact that you have a cust stick* sad
anyways i hope to play you other xbl peeps who arent as bitchE as shinshay

WTF, who cares what grade you got on me, and who the fuck cares if I Lost. I know I am not the best, I never claim to be. I don't keep up with the grades that I get on people cause I am just trying to have fun. I have over 3000+ games on live now and I can honestly say that I don't remember 1 particular time where I was actually hyped about getting a good grade against someone. Thats how fucking lame your dumbass is, if you can remember the fucking grade that you got on me like over 2 months ago...wtf.

My custom stick has nothing to do with this, cause I didnt play you with it. I had the bear, remember dumbass.

Lmao, and as for being "bitchE" let's look at it this way. Who won more on the two separate ocassions that we played? Yep, that's right....I guess that makes you officially MY BITCH. See the problem is, if you would spend less time being a cocksucking, pussy ass, faggot who's always using his knee pads to bless the MIC for free then maybe you'd get more respect from people, but moving on
