Priorities
So I just played a little SSFIV:AE today. Originally I started off as C. Viper back in the day, but I decided to start off again w/ Ryu to understand the basics more.
Again, I'm off to another abysmal losing streak. I just checked my records and I have 129 wins, but 868 losses, lol.
I dunno, I want to get better, but I got the pressure of school on my back. I actually put some time into watching tournament videos and understanding the terminology (FADC, option-select, etc.), but I'm just horrible at executing them.
I'm probably gonna go back to the drawing board, but my motivation is really low right now. Maybe fighting games aren't really my thing? :/
I wished I was as good as someone like Behrudy. Whenever he posts SSFIV videos, he always says, "Never give up." I'll try man.
Follow up to SFIV Players? Crit 04
So, after somehow managing with C. Viper's trials, I decided to try fighting someone online with her again.
I managed to win only one round against this guy who used Juri. However, I noticed that this guy's gamertag included the name Viper in it, so I got a little worried.
Well, my worst nightmare came true. He dished out C. Viper with a grade of B (9000 PP).
He basically annihilated me with C. Viper. I gave up half-way because he was just too good. I obviously want to be good, but not this insanely good.
This was yet another melancholy quit for Sherr. To top it off, he decided to put some more salt with a little acid into my already gaping wounds and trash talk me. Just pretend that this is C. Viper messaging me on XBL.
So evidently, C. Viper called me this and that… so I should stop running away? I don't think I was running away since I couldn't move at all. I don't want to take this personally, but obviously I am.
I just hate it when people have to talk down on you. Whenever I won in Tekken, I never messaged to someone, "OH, LEARN HOW TO PLAY THE GAME, DB!!" Sure, it's expected of the XBL community, but people seriously need to learn respect. LOL, U MAD? U MAD?? Children and immaturity, the PINNACLE of the XBox Live experience!
I read this article through NewsRob (Google Reader) and found this study that explained that negativity towards a coworker's mistake at the workplace only increases the chance of error. On the other hand, positivity and encouragement increased productivity and rate of success.
We obviously know that this guy is good, but I can't play SFVI all day. I only have a month's experience. I don't think I can even play any level near professional due to nursing school coming up in less than a month. All I want is to get good to the point where I can actually win some games, instead of signing on SFIV online again just to lose 20+ matches in a row.
So because of that message he sent to me, I reported him. I don't think he'll get a temporary ban, but it's worth a shot.
Street Fighter IV players? Hear me out.
Seriously, are there any of you guys out there? I think I remember one guy from the chat awhile ago. Well, this might be a long read. I'm gonna try my best to condense it. Keeping it simple!
My friend, Jon got Street Fighter IV around the first week it came out. At first, I was like… BLEH! SFIV?? PLAY MORE TEKKON SIX6!!! I did play SFIV with him for a bit that day using CONTROLLERS. 'Til this day, his best character is Ryu on the controller. One character caught my eye and it was C. Viper.
I really liked her style and moves. However, Jon would always pulverize me… even though I was the one who had to teach him how to do ultras and specials, lol. So because of that, I gave up on SFIV that day. I didn't have a PS3 and I wasn't planning on buying it for the 360.
I did eventually purchase Tekken 6 for the 360 w/ the Hori stick, mind you stick freaks. After the small learning curve of learning the stick, I got a lot better with Asuka. I was okay online. I think my current record is 110+ to 100… which is about average. I eventually decided to put down the stick for college.
After school, I decided to stop over my friend's house. I wanted to play Tekken again, but everyone else wanted to play Street Fighter. So I decided to return to playing C. Viper again, getting rocked by both of my friends now. I thought to myself, why am I losing all the time with C. Viper? Whenever my friend took out Ryu, I decided to take out Ken. I ultimately did defeat him with Ken a couple of times, lol. WEIRD, INNIT?
Because of that experience, I decided to buy SFIV for myself. Oh boy, even more losses to come. I'm still quite new to the game and only have a month's time experience. I do not want to play anyone else 'cept C. Viper. I'm still half interested in Ken and a bit interested in Rose though, but C. Viper is my main.
I just quit now because some guy just defeated me with my own character whom he used 7x better. I really want to complain and vent my anger so ya'll can pity me, but that's not the cool thing to do. I can see the random people out there saying, U MAD?? lol.
I just wonder if I approached SFIV wrong. Is using C. Viper as my first and main character for a SFIV beginner good? Despite her learning curve? I know all her moves and possible combos, but whenever I'm actually fighting, I get pressured and can't execute anything well. Sometimes I feel like I don't even understand the basics that well, which is aggravating.
Call me stupid, but I also can't get too competitive because school is drawing closer. However, these losses seriously have to stop. My current online record holds as 1 win to 100+ losses. I'm not kidding you. That one win was probably from me using Ken, haha.
So now I'm reaching out. Anyone here with XBL want to help me get better? I know it's a long shot, but it doesn't hurt to try.
