Here's what gets me Gothic. I know I lag; I'm on a 56k modem. But there have been times that I've been over at my brother's house (who is on cable) and played people on his computer, and people have said the same thing. I may not be the best at this game, but I'm smart enough to know when people are full of sh!t and can't accept a loss. In fact, from what some people have told me, people on the faster connection actually have the advantage. That 'teleporting' sh!t, you think that doesn't happen to me? Well, it does. And I've even been beaten by it. But I don't sit there and cry about it after I lose to it, in fact, I'll even say 'gg.' The only time I EVER bitch when I lose is if they did nothing but cheeze me with low punches the whole round, because that's intentionally cheap. Lag is not.
I'll never accept that a win or loss was because of lag? You're #### right about the losing part. I will NEVER dismiss a loss to lag. If I lost, it was because I wasn't able to read my opponent, didn't react quickly enough, or perhaps even because my opponent had a better strategy. But I'm not going to sit there and say that the ONLY reason that they beat me was because of lag. I may be arrogant, but I respect anyone that can beat me (and anyone that can come close to beating me).
As far as winning a match, maybe I should just take Tarkan's advice next time we play and just sit there and let you pummel me with supers. Would that make you happy? Would that earn your respect? If that's truly what you want, then why don't you go kill some n00bs, because I'm not dumb enough to get close to you when I know #### well you're getting ready to do a Kikou Shou. You lost to me because you were predictable, not because I lag.
This was posted in the 'General Comments/Strategies' section because it was supposed to be about how to beat lag.
