[quote name='bs000']Oh, come on... Every other post in here is someone whining about how other people play the game. I've ignored most of them but I can't take it anymore! If you're the one falling into all their traps then it's your own fault and not because someone is being cheap or whatever. Learn how to counter. If something is working and you keep falling for it then they're going to keep doing it until you stop sticking your finger in the light socket and you realize what you're doing is getting yourself hurt.
The moment you start worrying about what's "cheap" and "honorable" is the moment you start to lose and stop having fun.[/quote]
This is too true. Do you know how silly it is that I have to listen to the rare Zangief players curse me out, because I played a solid Keep away game with Goken, C.Viper, and Dhalsim? Really, his Weak punch SPD punishes EVERYTHING close up on REACTION, can't be teched out of, and also is hard to back dash from, when landing from bad jump-ins.
Yet people act like I'm SUPPOSE to fight them at throw range, and keep on jumping into their CONSTANT Spin Lariat spam. It's so ridiculous.
NO, I'M NOT JUMPING INTO A RANGE WHERE YOU'VE GOT SUPERIOR CONTROL!
How do you complain about Dhalsim playing a range game, really? What do they think, the man has stretchy limbs because it's funny to look at? I even told one guy, who said I was a "wimpy homosexual", to put it mildly "YOU HAVE GREEN HAND, which allows you to close range. If you wanted to close distance, use THAT, it's faster than your dash, and it cuts through fireballs, how can you complain about me NOT fighting toe-to-toe with you?!?"
This game has 25 Characters, yet I fight ROWS of Kens, sightly less Ryu's and Sagat's, and then the rare Akuma's who think doing any form of "Raging Demon" from full screen is an effective strategy... between that, and the whining over strategic play, people try very hard to test one's nerves so far... ^_^;;;
