What is the definition of "cheap"?

[nosoul4evr]

When you see a player repeating the same move over and over again...they are being cheap and rely on chipping damage, and lag for their win, instead of a knowledge of the characters moves and their priorities.

Skilled players know how to get around this kind of cheapness, but with lag it can be nearly impossible.

You can try and advance on, or jump behind your opponent...but it is difficult and you take alot of chipping damage doing so.

Once behind your opponent you usualy need to *cough* hadoken *cough* the sh!t outa them for 5 seconds or more before they finaly take 1 hadokens worth of damage and get thrown across to the opposite side of the screen.
Why is this?
Simple.
Your opponent is spamming the commands so fast that their computer refuses to accept your "im behind you" packet of data.
And since their PC thinks "you are on the right side of the screen"..The player keeps typing and sending the "im hadokening/rocket punching right" until "finaly" you manage to squeek one of your "im behind you hadokening" packets into their PC....and if you so much as get nicked during these 5 seconds, it will put you infront of your opponent again (where fought so hard not to be)

Against some people...by the time you have sent your "im behind you" data and recieved affirmative data in return confirming the acceptance of your packet...you opponent has already moved.
I/E: they saw you coming and they moved before you got there.....and you end up beating on a ghost, because you didnt recieve the "your opponent saw you coming and moved" data.

In the mean time your opponent has spent the last 5 seconds hadokening and powering up...and you are once again forced to have a hadoken showdown...or take alot of chipping damage trying to advance on your opponent again....only to get there, hit them a few times, and they take no damage...simply because they werent there, or they blocked the attack, or they never recieve the "im beating the sh!t outa you" data because they are "forcing" their packets upon you simply by "spamming through" any data you may be trying to send to them.

So are some players cheap/cheating...YES!

...it's like peeling the stickers off a Rubix Cube and putting them all back on in the right order.
Sure they can and "say" they won the game when they show the cube to their friends...but they didnt do it by the intended rules of the game.
Wich means they didnt realy win the game...they cheated, and are lying to themselves by even entertaining the thought that they won through legitimate play.

Repeating the same move over and over again to power up, and/or to create/use lag to your advantage is no different.
By playing like this, they are only lying to themselves when they get their win...because it wasnt skill and legitimate game play that won them their victory.

Heh..i have to laugh.
I have fought many players, and have them quit playing because they say their fingers/hands hurt.
...mine use to hurt too...but that was before i learned how to play the game without the use of millions of projectiles.

Dont people get tired of pressing down, forward, punch for 10 minutes straight?
It's definetly not any show of skill, thats for sure.
