Viper2040_'s rant post #1 - Abusing raging demon

[viper2040]

Viper2040_has officially had it. Im a (suprisingly) well known, 4 year veteran of this game, and I have seen many bitchy posts in the past, but this is different. Im actually pissed.

As a 4 year veteran, Im supposed to be good at this game. I dont play it often, but old skool gamer skilz dont die easily. So when a noob invites me to a game, and i feel generous and join, I am naturally pissed off when i end up dead in 10 seconds because he abused some of the weaknesses of the game.

Ive noticed that a lot of people like to host games and set the level to 2 and pick a dark shoto, and start off with a quick raging demon. THAT IS NOT COOL. IT DOES NOT MAKE YOU GOOD. Im sure many will argue that Its my fault for not being able to stop it, but lets analyze the raging demon real quick.

The raging demon is a special move in many ways. It does massive damage, and unless stopped, is unblockable.
It also ALWAYS does damage, even with lag. If its executed, the damage WILL go through.

Still, this wouldnt be too bad, given how much super energy it takes, except for one thing: it is near impossible to stop with lag. In addition, its glitchy, and only supers, projectiles, or helpers can stop it.
This means that wolverine in a no-helper game is essentially screwed unless he wants to waste a super bar to prevent an instant death. Yeah, thats right, raging demon pretty much instant-kills wolvie, given his low defense against supers.
One of the most glaring examples of how incredibly cheap this move can be when abused, came in a 2v2 tag match. My partner decided to tag me as RD was being initiated. Naturally, I came in, got nailed, and was out of the match.
Or, the time that someone started a raging demon while i was in the middle of slashing him with wolverine. The attacks did NOTHING, and my helper was way too slow to help.

Now, I obviously have a deep respect for tmyapp and the work that he does, and I think that the raging demon was a great idea. However, some noobs have managed to once again take a great feature and abuse it so that I cannot even bear to use a dark character anymore. I am thoroughly disgusted with how low some people will stoop to get a few kills. Picking akuma and guile while setting the level to 2 only means that you will earn my scorn and disrespect. Im really sorry to burst the bubble of all the ~@!####s out there, but you all arent good. You just have no respect for the game or for sportsmanship.

Anyone who has a counter-argument to the above, feel free to post it, and I'll explain why you're wrong, and how you're a ####. Thank you.
