Hi, Am I a cheap noob?

Everyone's pretty much said what I think. Play how you want and have fun with it. I get called cheap every other day. I shrug it off and keep on goin'.

Oh, and welcome to the site :3
 
That's the thing, I don't really play like that, I'm not really a spammer and when I catch myself doing it, it annoys me. I don't care if my opponent spams and wins, but I don't really want to win like that because I know a lot of people on fighting games consider it to be cheap, and my goal isn't to piss people off when playing with them, I want to provide a fun challenge for them and myself.
You need to get the idea that spamming is cheap or even a good strategy out of your head. Everything in this game has one or more explicit counters. If someone is predictable (spamming) then they will lose to anyone who understands the basics of the game. For example, if you know that I'm just spamming throws then you should beat me by crouching, jumping, using moves that crouch or jump, or using moves that are faster than throws. You shouldn't spam moves, but not because of some strange sense of honor, but because being predictable is the worst mistake you can make in fighting games. If you mixup your offense with lows, mids, and throws then I am forced to try to make a read or guess the appropriate counter. If you spam then I know what to do every time. At the same time if you notice that your opponent rarely blocks low then you should be using lows more often untill they start getting blocked.

Your last sentence is problematic. You are going to piss people off when playing online unless you lose every game you ever play. SCV online is full of unreasonable whiny scrubs who will call anything that beats them "cheap" or "spam". Don't take them seriously. Just have fun and don't hold back anything that works.
 
You aren't supposed to be polite in a fighting game. If your opponent can't beat you that's their fault. Welcome to 8way!
 
Welcome to 8wayrun :)
First things first ive got to say good job friend! You have now already jumped a big hurdle in your SC journey which is find out about this website, signed up and spoke about your situation. It perhaps could of been intimidating for you to post your first thread to a audience due to maybe amount of people to see this, people to not understand you, to be told no one cares or simply no one to reply... But your right in what you said about moderators that they care and there is plenty of friendly/knowledgable players who can help you! aside from those possible bad outcomes from posting you did the absalutely the right thing :) From here your SC journey is going to see improvements!

Good Luck with your Natsu training and the training of your own basic fundamentals :)
