yeah you pwnt me hard when we played... it was like 10-0 you winning as Guile...
I havent really ever been good at Street fighter but I do enjoy it... I mean I played alot of Street fighter 2 back in the 90's when I was a kid, but thats about it...

To be fair, he slams everyone around here on fighters, and he's pretty fucking good at other genres (from what I've seen at least) as well. Nothing to feel bad about.

My time is so limited these days that I'm not longer competitive in anything. I can still pick up Halo 5 once every 3-6 months and pwn the shit out of people in casual or ranked, or with any Cod/simple FPS game it's the same, but games that take lots of dedication are impossible for me atm. I just don't have the fucking time or energy anymore.



I would have never guessed it was like this. That's pretty fucking cool.

SC is brutal and good people are usually giant assholes. Every once in awhile you'll meet someone who will help out/mentor you, but you're right, most of the time it's gg was ez, trash build, go play cas etc... lol. I've watched a lot of high level streams and this seems to stop for the most part at GM, but even up until high masters it's still like this almost every game and there are people in high diamond/low masters who literally only know how to do 1-2 builds, but they're cheesey as fuck and they've done nothing but perfect them, which like fighters is something that you see all too much of. You can get pretty high being a piece of shit with one-two combos/builds you execute over/over, but you'll never advanced any further as a player because getting to GM or w/e the equivalent in fighters is, because it takes an insane understanding of the games mechanics, being able to read your opponent, and the skill to execute in milliseconds the appropriate move/build based off what information you see coming from your opponent.

yeah, you're right for the most part, but cheesy shit doesn't take you as far as you would think in fighters like it does SC, theres combos for every situation you have to learn, jump-in's, low confirms, max damage punishes on reversals (crush-counter on SRK's is a good example here) but this is actually not the complicated part, with some execution practice anybody should be able to learn said combos, all the information is accessible on youtube as is training mode, but how will you hit people? how will you make this combo happen? to crush counter a blocked reversal or whiffed reversal, how did you make them do one to begin with? how did you open somebody up and gain that hit to do your combo to begin with, hit confirming lows isn't too hard too learn, but you still have to position yourself for that situation to arise anyway, which is the hard part, it's difficult to teach neutral to somebody, i understand neutral pretty well. i'm m high diamond. i enter tournaments, for two games, and have my hotel/entry to texas showdown covered, and even for me it would be difficult to sum up neutral in a single post, theres been informative videos, Juicebox did a vid series on "what is footsies" i would suggest watching it when you can, but overall it's a hefty concept to try and give people, but those who grasp it, are EONS better than people who dont, i can beat people of even platinum level doing like no combos and just hitting 3 buttons just because i understand spacing and positioning like wayyy ahead of their level. cheesy shit doesn't survive somebody that understands this aspect of fighting games, unless the person cheesing you also understands, in which case it's now become a mind game, but cheesy shit like bison ex devils reverse, akuma ex demon flip, ect moves of that nature, will carry you to MAYBE super gold ish, (it goes bronze, super, bronze ultra bronze, silver ect silver gold plat diamond master grand master (equivelent of super master) but everybody diamond on onward plays the game offline or is involved in the community somehow for the most part. they will know how to beat things. cheese in high level is closer to like, a cheap setup, or oki situation that is difficult to deal with, it still has to be earned, even then, it's just powerful, which is different from cheesy.

being bad doesn't matter, it's the journey man! you love street fighter, you love fighting games, and to me, because of that, we will always be equals, you may not be as informed or as knowledged, but with an open mind, knowledge can be learned and taught, being "bad" is simply a transitory state of being. and your mentality and thought process is all that holds you back from steady progression if you let it, but you seem pretty level headed, with time, i think you will be just fine.

yeah when I started Tekken I was terrible... but after playing 10,000 Online matches, you eventually learn the mechanics and understand how to play against people, which is what I hope to do in Street Fighter if I have the time

if you ever have questions or want to know where to find information don't be afraid to shoot me a message

i mean i doubt it bud, i don't think you've ever been good at sf either, we can play whenever though, i train with some of the best players in the united states. if you can beat me i'll be legitimately impressed but it literally won't happen lol not trying to talk down on you dog i've seen you play fighters, you have no fundamentals :/ got any footage of you playing USF4?
