Bad Games Thread

Yah, I know there's lots of entries for the bad games thread, but cable pulling is a special kind of dick move. I think it's worthwhile having a specific thread to look to.

 

Off the bat:

Templario IV (Pai user)
DarthMinion (real popular guy)
African Madman (don't know about now)
VF Lion (I think)

There were some others but I haven't played those folks in a long time.

 

Yeah me 2, whupped on 'em and he comes on the com with the same insults. I can only laugh.... /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/tired.gif

 

In his whole nature, he is a stupid kid. The signs are all there, unless you can tell me he talks like a stupid man.

 

Sadly i've went through 2 controllers. I am on my 3rd and final controller. shameful.....but true.

 

Played Trifling Fox last night. Was beating me with Shun a lot by getting in lots of throws. So in an attempt to prevent him from drinking, I knew I needed to stop getting thrown. I can't interrupt him because, well, shun is weird, and I don't know him well. So I duck and block a lot to avoid the throws. I start winning, not a whole lot, but it's more equal distribution now.

He leaves and I send a ggs message, he responds saying, "I don't play against turtlers, it bores me. Good games I guess." I sent him one back apologizing for not being entertaining, but it bugged me. So bad games to him or me, not sure which. Sort of put a damper on my Virtua fighter playing for the night.

 

DeathSushi told me you use Aoi, I don't remember if I ever played you before. But back on subject:

F--- that dude, Basically he was saying since you were no longer being a "tackling dummy" (or an easy target, if you will) that you suck. Truth be told, fighting Shun gives me more than my share of headaches and it just gets worse the more drinks he gets in his system. Don't worry about that fool, you're gonna have folks like that roll around in the VF. Just continue to work on what you feel you need to work on and go from there. I'll look you up when I can get a new 360, won't be very soon though.

 

That's lame - I've had some good games with Trifling Fox, but can always tell when he gets frustrated, because I'll send him something like "GGs, your throw mix-up's really improved" and he'll respond with "Yah, well, Eileen's throws are shit and that doesn't help me against your Brad".

Seems like an angry little guy.

 

yea, it seems like I played him before and had good games, that remark kind of took me by surprise, because I thought we did have good games.

Carolina, would love a game whenever you have time.

 

A preemptive Bad Games to myself.

Yeaaah,
i am getting a pool table on saturday..woot woot... so in a wk from now when you see me on and i'm a 6th dan and you are destroying me, just know that i'm better at pool than you.

Don't mind the haters. After a session where you win more or go kinda even, if you get negative feedback, remember this: whatever your opponent is crying about do not let it influence your game in a negative way. Let it make you stronger. It sucks and sometimes I get mad too but in the end, I just brush my shoulders off.

I know it sucks to get negative feedback from a player who you thought you were having good fights with but if an opponent who was beating you at first but then you started beating him by changing your offense/defense/movement/etc., know this, there's a chance that he will be PISSED.

Obviously not all players are like this, most good players adapt, fight harder and kick your ass but "P.W.I.'s" (Players With Issues) will bitch, moan and/or have other negative reactions /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/thumbs_down.gif

Oh yeah, hit me up for some games anytime.

 

Yeah, also get prepared for this:

anytime you lose at first but then start winning= "I stopped paying attention and started just messing around, obviously you can see i lost focus."

Anytime you win at first but then start losing= "It takes me awhile to warm up, but once i do I play much better, as you can see."

This is probably my biggest pet peave. The other day I played AkiraZero, beat him 4 in a row, then lost 4 in a row. sent him a ggs, he sent me a ggs. I didn't make any excuses for losing the last group he didn't make any excuses for losing the first group. thats how its done. Mutual respect without any excuses.

 

Hey guys I'm one of those "players." If there's something I didn't like about a match, I'm going to tell you what I think about it.

We are grown men, we are playing something that's not serious, so if I feel or think that something in my opinion, I disagree with, I'm going to be blunt and tell you.

The way it comes out, or the way I say it, if it offends you, there's not really much I can do about that except apologize to you for tact(which is most definitely subjective) or lack there of. I can't take it back.

People get upset at me, no matter what option I choose or if I don't even choose. I've gotten hateful messages from people because I DIDN'T tell them what was wrong, and I've gotten hateful messages and offended responses because I flat out told them what the issue was. I've even gotten crazy responses from people after I told them "ggs." In VF i've had people get upset at me for using a light down attack after a round, and I've even had someone blow up at me because I was whiffing practice moves at the air after rounds(the guy called them "airstrikes").

It's xbox live, and the internet, you basically have no idea how someone is going to take whatever you say or do to them during or after a match. If they had a bad day at the office or something, no matter what you say or do, it's going to offend them.

Everyone has excuses or reasons, sometimes you either say them or you don't. Someone could just flat out tell you that THEY suck, and someone can get offended at that too, as back handed compliment.

 

Look man, I don't know about all of this "what you're going through"/"what's going on in your mind"/"your feelings and emotions" stuff but I do know this:
You can show grace in victory or loss OR
You could be a sore loser or a shit-talking winner.

After a loss or a win if you tell dude "ggs" and he gets on some other shit... hey, that's his problem, not yours.

I usually handle situations like that real well, for example BorisofWales: I fought this low-spamming Lion player, he kept doing that low that looks mid and beat me a couple of times. I was like, aight, bet, I go and I pick Lau and start spamming Lau's lows. The fight came real close but he won after my finishing low went right through one of his legs (happens like 1% of the time). So he sends me a message like "lol, loser" or some crap like that. What did I do? I ignored it and kept playing other people. I'm not going to get into some argument over fucking low attacks /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/crazy.gif

But then some dude I thought was cool caught me off guard telling me I play "boring" after we just went back and forth winning and losing for like 20+ matches /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/confused.gif
Then he's like "I coulda beat you with just elbow mixups" /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/confused.gif
Lol, I can laugh about it now but that shit caught me off guard and I got heated then.

As "grown men" we should be able to act like it. Everybody knows that words have power. It ain't all about "ooh, i'm over the interwub so i can say whatever i want". Only reason why internet geeks like Shang have been able to get away with talking all kinda crazy shit online that they would never say in your face is because of the sites that they're on and the people that they meet.

Then they bust out that whole "I'ma be a nice guy, quiet and meek" crap when you meet them /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smirk.gif
Hahaha "ooh, I'm Mr. Nice guy now. I have a split personality" /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smirk.gif
More like they don't want to get their lips split, hahaha.

If you got something to say, say it, but don't be too fucking lazy to think of a better way of saying you dislike somebody's style than "You fucking suck".
It's like people got brains to play VF, come up with all these excuses but not enough brain to make their remarks sound better than a 5th grader.

I mean, just a couple of seconds of thought before you speak is not a hard thing to do.

 

I'm totally with Tony on this one. Slide, that's cool if you want to do your thing, and hey, you're right, it IS just a game, and it IS just online play, and it IS just the internet. But, hey, that's why it's that much cooler when someone has honor and grace.

This really just comes down to personal choice and your ettiquette online being a reflection of the person you are. When I play people that come back and keep fighting me, and afterwards send me a message saying "Hey, thanks for the games", whether or not I won all of them, lost all of them, or went back and forth, it garners me respect for that person.

Playing with respect is a personal choice, and we are all free to do as we please. The only difference is that the people that treat others with respect are the people that I want to play and learn from.

Tony - the more I read of your posts, the more I respect your mentality and approach to the game - big ups!

 

To me this basically just looks like personality clashes. Not everyone is going to agree, and not everyone will like you or what you do. At least in my opinion.

Not only is it about how someone should treat or address something, but it's also about how they handle it or take it, too.

To me, this is all very subjective and just personality differences, stuff being online with no body language among other things can misconstrue things easily, especially on built up expectations.

 

well put deathsushi. lets play again sometime. ima bout to blow up vf5 again. my schedule is opening up after saturday -so vf5 is gonna be a big deal 4 me again. i hate playing people from this site when i know my game is limp, lol, but i probably cant get my skills up vs the average rubbish online. scrub city on player matches and i dont enjoy rank unless i'm putting the time into player 2 be good. anyhow, i like ur/smb/fams side of the arguement. tho, slide always seemed cool 2 me also

 

You meet all kinds here, ALL kinds.

I've been destroyed in matches on more than several occasions, and I probably let the folks know they destroyed me. Then again, like it's been said many times: There's ALWAYS gonna be excuses. There was one dude that called me a coward at the end of the match. Why? 'Cause I prefer to block hits with my arms instead of my face? Please! I've fought folks who run all the damn way to Alaska and back and want to complain on how I fight them? Heh. /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smirk.gif

I've said it once and I'll say it again: F--- 'em! They wanna get pissed 'cause all the sudden you're not as easy a mark as you were the FIRST time they sought you out. That's alright, continue to make 'em pay for their arrogance. They don't want to adjust to what's usually just a SIMPLE change of tactics? F--- 'em! Destroy 'em 'till they're just a broken shadow of themselves (or they decide to move on to easier prey). I'm not even gonna bitch about the cable pullers It was enough just deal with the wireless I had. Us folks? We'll do what we do. The Pullers? They'll keep pulling? The Jabronies? They'll keep whining and complaining.

 

Yah, I think that's what I said too.

Agreed.

Can we agree that, all things being considered equal, if someone sends you something that is unequivocably earnest, along the lines of "Hey, thanks for the games", regardless of how the match went, that that is cool? If so, then there's our common ground.
