Hate Speech: When Worlds Collide (Revisited)

[Signia]

Moves that used to be clear-cut lag tactic lows in SCIV are now manageable in SCV online. In many cases, slow low sweeps do have their place in beating quick step, especially quickstep into a TC move.

There's still some nonsense to be encountered, though. CaS characters can be utterly ridiculous. When I joined a "tournament" in the Global Colloseo, some jackass was using Voldo with some kinda bongo-drum cage around him. This obscured what he was doing a great degree.

Fortunately, I am godlike and can break throws with only the yellow flash as an indication, and the silhouettes of the weapon flashes were enough to block and defend against some of his stuff on reaction. It was incredibly obnoxious to me since at the time I thought the "tournament" (which is actually just a series of ranked matches) could be taken seriously, but of course I pulled through :)

I beat that guy in ranked; his name is tcjunior18.

I found that the best players are in Player Match, sometimes in Global Colosseo. You're better off friending players here at 8wr and then setting up matches with them. Otherwise you'll just face people still learning the game back to back to back.

I love the netcode, but it is indeed far from perfect. I realize now that they just slow down the game a tad if the connection isn't as good. Which is still okay, because it still allows you to block all the lag 1As that used to wreak havoc in SCIV online.

What I'm doing now is playing Xiba, and playing a spacing/evading game, which is mostly to try and encourage the new players to do the same, since most people learning the game have the mentality of charging everytime. I'm afraid that it might come off as annoying though.

Online experiences so far... I have to say, I was freaking clueless when it came to Viola. It like literally have someone set a wooden blocks and having them ask you to make something like this only using a pair of tweezers...

So, deciding to go to the drawing board... having Natsu as a Sub until i properly learned Viola in a sense that i can take advantage of. I ended up facing people later during the week like "namcoCEO" (If you ever fight this person just punish them) Who are still learning the game, and people who use bitchy tactics. Including the overusage of some certain characters. (Yes... I'm looking at you siegfried.)

"You...Could never understand." (Of course... i wouldn't.)

Some things I consider helpful is the connection, However like you said Hates its not technically SCv unless you play it offline. Online has helped me get better what i should or shouldnt do, teaching me about characters or just beating the piss outta me to see what flaws i have, thanks to some players like, N3ver3nding68, Darksch1sm, BelovedChild (and ugh i hate to say it...LuffyDuff)
Sad part is... I can't see myself going to a tournament in my life without getting embarassed.

If that's the case, then you're looking at it the wrong way. Playing poorly at your first tournament isn't gonna cause you to be ridiculed, it'll probably garner you more encouragement and tutelage than anything. Very rarely does someone go to a tournament for the first time and give a really good showing. While there have been more exceptions lately with online play improving, overall the results are what you'd expect from first timers.

Hopefully you'll be able to give an event near you a try, it's a great chance to meet some cool people that share your love for Calibur.
