Hate Speech: In Praise of Cheapness

I actually am of the position that you should respect all newbies, even if they are whiners and complain about ROs, etc. When you actually get around to meeting people in person, whether at a tourney or at a get-together, then that's when you can 'play dirty'. That way you can explain to them in person that they just suck and everything is fair in the game.

But of course, if someone online gets me with one of the 'grimy' tactics, then I stop playing nice to newbies.
 
2. While you’re in the lab, find at least one exquisitely dirty move/mixup/tactic with your favorite character, then come tell us about it.

6A+B4 when you know they're going to block and attempt to punish, then PO BE, BT PO K to end the round. >:D
 
Man...at first...i aaaaaaaaaaalmost thought you would get through without quoting/referencing sirlin. I am deeply ashamed for you, hates.
 
If it's in the game, it's fair play. Doesn't matter what it is.

I'll never understand why that's so hard for people.
 
I just rushed the thread but I think I got the core message.
Free Yourself from those "I should've won" or "I had that round" thoughts.
Basic competetive FG philosophy IMO. Like in Track and field there was "just that one inch". Or "If it wasn't for that damn ambush" You press common competetive knowledge mankind has experienced over centuries and try to subject it into terms for a simple fighting game.
And I salute You for that.
But I'd just say "Hey! For him, there's no second price!"
And as long I don't share the same mindset and don't take my chances when I get them, I don't deserve to win.
That's common in every kind of competition.

But in a fighting game there's one ONE deciding catch. You can always see what Your opponent can dish out, there's no hidden tricks, mirrors, blown up tanks or stuff. You all play on the same terms, the same game.
And if You did't see or know the opponent's "Ace in the Sleeve" It's all Your fault and there's nobody to blame other than You. You just weren't prepared.
