susano Posted April 13, 2015 Posted April 13, 2015 Overheads. They keep saying i can block them. They keep saying i can react. But, they just keep hitting me. Sent from my ZTE-X500 using Tapatalk 2 Story of my life in UNIB.
BlackYakuzu94 Posted April 13, 2015 Posted April 13, 2015 Story of my life in UNIB. That game has overheads?
susano Posted April 14, 2015 Posted April 14, 2015 When someone does a charged overhead and I can't block it, yeah...
Myoro Posted April 14, 2015 Posted April 14, 2015 My pet peeve with online all boils down to one concept. I really loathe not being able to tell how much of what I do is my fault. Rather I desire an accurate assessment of my skill level, which is perhaps most, if not the whole point, of a competitive game such as this. I used to believe that every mistake I've made online or otherwise has been my fault alone, and that likewise every feat I accomplished was on my own merit. It was gratifying because I felt like I had a real sense of control over my progress as a player. If I wanted it enough, I could block those fuzzy mix-ups, if I knew enough. I could play that match-up to the very best of my ability. I recently got a new ethernet cord, and as humorous or over-dramatic as it may sound, it's shifted my perspective and thrown a lot of things into question. Suddenly things I could never block, I could block, I could accomplish higher execution tactics with more accuracy. My foes too became similarly empowered, and while this all seems wonderful it kinda messed with me. I realized as a mainly netplay player I might never get the experience the game was meant to provide. For me lag was an inevitability, a factor that had to be carefully accounted for, and I was happy fighting against it and the opponent part of the challenge. However now I can /feel/ how much its limited me and my opponents, and it's beginning to make the experience feel more shallow. I find myself uncertain if I could have played a match better sometimes, and of the matches I do win, I'm uncertain whether it was my skill that led me to prevail. It feels... awful. I find myself getting frustrated more often, and feeling guilty more often, feelings that are just as hazardous to learning as they are unpleasant. Anybody got any tips for me outside of "Go to an offline scene"? While that would be ideal, my availability is limited to the point where that becomes a difficult task. Edit: Hi Necro! when're you coming back to BB? We miss you.

Edit: Hi Necro! when're you coming back to BB? We miss you. You could say that you have to "learn the game twice", for online and offline. I don't know if you can play offline, if you can then do it as much as you can, 'cause there's people like me that can only play online. Edited April 14, 2015 by heavymetalmixer
mAc Chaos Posted April 14, 2015 Posted April 14, 2015 Your location says Michigan. There's a scene there. Are you super far from it?
Myoro Posted April 14, 2015 Posted April 14, 2015 It's not really a issue of distance there. But the scene meets Friday, and my Fridays have been busy for the last 8 or so months due to work, college and family and friend stuff. I've even tried to schedule time off to get out there, and even that has ended in failure.
Henjin Posted April 14, 2015 Posted April 14, 2015 overheads are unblockable in america... its scientificly proven

someonewhodied Posted April 14, 2015 Posted April 14, 2015 overheads are unblockable in america... its scientificly proven Its not even just american players. The moment you set foot in america, no matter if you are the best of X country or not, expect to be unable to block overheads.
susano Posted April 16, 2015 Posted April 16, 2015 People who get on my freaking nerves. If I don't want to play, STOP ANNOYING ME. Thank you.
Hollysmoke Posted April 17, 2015 Posted April 17, 2015 Its not even just american players.

I forget who it was but at EVO last year a JP Jin player hit someone with 4 6As in a row and got away with it, finally RCing the 4th into a combo. It was hilarious.

Raziul Posted April 18, 2015 Posted April 18, 2015 I swear to god, if I just had a controller that would do what I told it to, I'd probably win 100% more of my matches. Having to play this game feeling like I'm crippled because wake up reversals don't work when I seriously need them to is killing it for me.
LaowPing Posted April 18, 2015 Posted April 18, 2015 Reminds me of those moments where i go "I know i blocked that. I teched that grab. Wait, what happened to my super? I know I dped that shit!" Sent from my ZTE-X500 using Tapatalk 2

heavymetalmixer Posted April 18, 2015 Posted April 18, 2015 I hate purple throws, purple throws . . . and . . . did I say purple throws?

LaowPing Posted April 19, 2015 Posted April 19, 2015 YES. THAT'S WHO IT WAS. Thank you for reminding me. Do you have footage? I have to see this.
Hollysmoke Posted April 19, 2015 Posted April 19, 2015 I don't have footage of it, but it's probably in that 6 hour footage on youtube.
