-Mics in game chat, which also contribute to lag and are a massive distraction.

Rock on, PSN. You are TOTALLY just as good as XBL. :P

My ISPs peak hours. From 5 to around 11 at night I cannot even find a fricking 1 bar connection.....tch.

Well ya, we got CP, what do you have? XD

It's more like "now CP is stuck with PSN and it's crappy 'lags if you want to talk to someone' infrastructure." EVERYONE loses.

Wake-up dps/ dp dependent players

its not that i lose but that stuff is just a buzz kill

[Soviet Bear]

I want to murder people when they are about to win and any move would be enough, but they combo into an Astral. It's fine if all your other (accessible) options wouldn't be enough for a win, but I'm talking chip damage or just any normal hit/DD away.

And another thing that bothers me is when people choose auto or random stage.

My eyes don't handle bright stages very well (as in I see blurry, can only see general locations of players and attacks on screen, not if its a low/overhead or even a grab exclamation point) so when someone thinks its a good idea to put me on a brighter stage I generally just try to run all match and poke people to death. Not even bothering with combos.

mind specifying stages you're okay with going to? i made it a habit of going to random stage/ random music without the slightest idea that it actually affected peoples play

also, how can you know for sure when someone is lagswitching?

i generally dont like astrals in close situations where you yourself can do it too and choose not to and they go for it

i trying to get better at the game, not dodging astrals

taking your situation and your opponent having a lot of health when they astral, i wouldnt mind, i already lost. i really dont care if their astral lands on my low health if theirs is like 60% or higher. though i do understand where youre coming from

Getting a 'GG' message when I played Abyssmally bad. I realise more often than not people do it to be polite, but it can come off as being more than a little patronising when I just spent the last game as a glorified training dummy.

[TAI-X]

Played someone with an obvious lag switch last night. Whenever I would start a combo, it immediately went from a 3-bar connection to what felt like a 0-bar. I don't recall ever seeing one before, even in games with a large scrub population like SFIV.

[koldiz]

people mashing out of my combos

[ReynTime180]

People throwing me out of my combos/pressure

[Shabrys]

When I pick my sub and or someone I don't have much knowledge with and get treated like trash. Even after the other player seeing that I am more trying to practice than anything. For example, taunting and running away, refusing to kill with anything but random jabs. Either beat me up and get it done, or pick your sub. :/

[heavymetalmixer]

Lag, and not knowing why I'm losing :/

[Agni]

That feeling when you play endlessly, but you never learn anything. That's FG's in general for me. I just can't seem to learn anything substantial no matter how much I play.

Accidently mashing something stupid like superjump and looking like a flailing idiot.

And finally, when players way better than me use me as a glorfied training dummy. And then their combo ends and I TRY to do something to get out but fuck up and they CH me into a combo AGAIN. At that point I might as well put the controller down.

[Dark Ranger88]

when people obviously lagswitch. When i know someone is a lagswitcher, I just go straight to mu and instead of playiing for real, I turn the person's lag against them with laser spam (which is hilariously unblockable in lag unless you hold block, in which case you get chipped out)

but it still bothers me when someoen is obviously lagswitching.

Sometimes people with mics will yell or say things like, "What? I blocked that bullshit!!" whenever I land a hit. In some connections this causes it to lag instantly, making me drop my combo

However when they score a hit on me they never whoop or holler in excitement...probably because they're focused on not dropping their combo.

Seriously though, if you want a makeshift lagswitch just hook up your mic and SCREAM into it whenever you get hit.

(And it's always the most obnoxious people who benefit from this - The guy who constantly talks shit even though he's average at best, or the guy carrying a conversation on in the background who has no reason to have the mic turned on in the first place).

[PhantomIndex]

Jumping over me upon wake up. Damnit..

[Airk]

people mashing out of my combos

Uh, if they are mashing out of your combos, that's your fault. A combo is a combo, and they can't get out until it's over unless you screw up.

I know how you feel. My brain is like jelly so nothing really sinks in. And when it does, I make a bad habit out of it.

But Im finally learning how to do stuff (After 2 years of failing lol.)

I have a little advice that may help and this may still result in losing for days, but i make it a hiabit when im losing continuously to observe my opponents movements, and try learning the match up. if im being continuously reset by someone, i try to look very closely at when teching isnt a good idea, when they want me not to tech, and if they back-dash they want you to tech roll forward. its incredibly hard but i can get outt of more pressure because of these observations. if you're in the corner attacking on wakeup isnt the best idea, id say get used to blocking combos and mixing up your barrier and regular guards (be wary of crush triggers if youre playin chrono). hopefully i could help, and please dont take my response the wrong way, im just trying to help you learn things even when losing)

as for accidental super jumps, i dont comprehend how you can do that by mistake, but you should make it a point to attack on your way down and make the best of the mistake

these things helped me start beating a Jin that I was losing to continuously, though unfortunately after i won 2 matches he just left.

Too worried if they are going to walk back and just do a 2A jab into my tech roll.

[Koopa_Klawz]

People that I get a win streak on, but then manage to scrape off 1 win and leave.

[TheYukianesa-01]

The fight loads.

The stage fades in.

You hear the opening of Blood Pain II...

When someone is running the room for like 20 straight matches only using their main and refusing to change or pass then proceeding to send rage mail when he gets kicked.
