Hate Speech: When Worlds Collide (Revisited)

Anyway., Thanks for the welcome., see you cats offline. I do know all of you, but you don't me, I'll introduce myself after we've played. :-)

For a guy raging against the injustice of "anonymous online bullies" you certainly do alot of hiding. You must be a stealth samurai, or an anonymous online bleeding heart. In either case, you are skilled at backpedaling. You must also play Tekken.
 
I play online a lot and I find the netcode is pretty good most of the time. I prefer 4 and 5 bars, but I'll play some 3's. As far as skill goes there are beginners and advanced players playing Ranked and Global Colosseo. I usually only play 'player mode' online with friends. Nothing beats playing offline next to someone. I've never lost a match online in SCV due to lag.
 
I honestly don't get why beating someone mercilessly in the game -- a game about mercilessly beating the crap out of your opponent -- is all of a sudden 'without ethics or etiquette'.

I would like to think of myself as a nice guy, but if you keep spamming moves at disadvantage, I really don't care if I win by BB-ing you all day. I also would want another player to do that to me if I keep doing punishable moves. That's the only way I would know if something is wrong.

However, I'll gladly tell you why you lost. I think most competent players, with the exception of the handful of real pricks, will tell you exactly what you lost to or why you lost. I think this is the true way of growing the community at large -- helping newcomers get into the game and understand why they lose to bring them up to speed as fast as possible.

2 cents.
 
Playing online vs different people using different characters helps a lot when it comes to learning the traits and patterns of each character. You don't get all of the detail online but it is useful. Especially if you don't have the time to drive to every tournament to get practice.
