The general crapness of most people playing - What I hate.

[Dach]

Right, lets look at your previous post again.

"Even if u do have a strategy u probably find yourself not using it in the match."

I have yet to see someone who doesn't have some sort of stratagy in their head not button mash. Face it; if you don't know how to play the game, what where things are do, then you will not have a stratagy. You don't have a stratagy? Then what the #### DO you do? Attack attack attack attack attack attack attack etc etc? Just hit random buttons in a hope that you'll prevail? You seem not to know what button mashing is. Look up what "stratagy" means in the dictionary, and see if it has any connection to psychic.

"if that person is soooo skilled than how can he lose to someone that doesnt know how to play? huh? why couldnt he just use his comprehensive stratagy to win and squash him? what? I cant hear you? "uhhhh because he pressed the buttons to fast" hah hah hah"

THAT is the problem with the Vs. series you idiot! When people button mash, they actually GET SOMEWHERE. The lightning-fast gameplay doesn't give someone who can actually play properly a chance. It's like Alpha 3's V-ISM all the time with button mashers. If you block then you'll just get worn down with supers.

This isn't as bad in the arcade/home versions of XMvSF. I am NOT complaining about button mashers in the arcade/home versions. It's much MUCH worse in the online version due to issues like lag. You go up against a button masher on the online version and you'll find (unless you're on broadband, in which case you wouldn't have a fucking clue what "lag" is ) that you'll lag and your moves come out slower, and you WON'T have time to block.

"oh I get it. people that dont know how to use the specials/hyper moves are just button mashers......... theres a fault in there somewhere..... nice logic"

Wow, talk about reading too deeply into words. No, you fool, I meant exact what I said in the first place.

"Superior... blah blah blah... acting like I'm better than someone... blah blah blah."

Yep, I think I'm better than all the button mashers and bastards that don't know how to play the game properly and thus ruin the experience for everyone else and lessen their enjoyment. So sue me.

"ive played every street fighther except the 3d ones which I dont want to play so bah to you mr. elite."

For what, 5 minutes?

"anyway if you call picking which move to do next stratagy..."

I don't, that's not a stratagy. A stratagy is a plan, not just for planning which move you're going to do next in your head. Are you going to take a defencive stance and back away, luring the opponent in? Or are you going for offensive, and try to wear down the bar? Who do you choose (this is for the Vs. series only) - which combination would be better for you, faster to run metaphoric rings around the opponent, stronger to out-hit him, a grappler? Or to choose your favourite combination of characters that you know inside-out and run the risk of losing?
Street Fighter is deeper than 'planning what move to do next'. But all of this becomes void on XMvSF online, as when the button mashers start and you're left without a hope, as your moves will come out a second later an the button mashers will beat you to the punch.

"I may have some kinda stratagy I dunno"

You might have some subconcious stratagy planned out in your head. Point is, button mashers don't. They just mash and mash and mash and hope for the best.

"the person you are fighting could be using a better stratagy putting you to shame. then you go to think since he beat you so badly hes a little button masher."

lol, no. I know a button masher when a see one; mainly the jumping a lot, the moves coming out in random irregularity, them attacking a spot where I'm not repeatably (which is a surefire sign), opponent doing a special and randomly attacking instantly after... there are many signs, and I've played fighting games for long enough to see when someone is button mashing.

"you could be right about people that dont know what they are doing. ive had to help people that dont know how to use hypers and/or use a basic "fireball" (hadouken)"

Fine, but in my experience Ive foud that a lot of button mashers prefer to keep doing that, as they then have a much bigger chance of actually winning.

If you want to try a SF character that relies quite heavily on stratagy, try Karin in Alpha 3, on A-ISM. You see that mashers can't really get too far with her, not to mention that her moves require timing and knowledge of her priorities. She also has the best anti-air in the game too... definately one of my fav characters in Alpha 3...

I love you all.

I know you do, darling. *smooch* ^_~

Just to touch on some of the

[Necro2k1]

anyway, no I did not play the games for 5 minutes Dach

Try zsnes's netplay feature....
then mame's netplay feature
then my snes console I used to beat my cousins on...

and there you have ALL Street Fighter games (besides those 3d ones, ive played one and I didnt like it and Gameboy ones)


oh and i have DSL and sometimes my challengers lag very badly, so bad im just attacking a dummy (no offense) that just sits there and doesnt take any damage.

oh and Dach, your "them attacking in a place im not at repeatly" thing might be caused by lag.......
