You don't have to keep running every time i enter a room.

Dude I feel your pain. I only started playing again yesterday and I'm already being ostracised lol.

Sounds like you're a skilled SC player.  I will never understand why people refuse to play the skilled ones.  It's the only way one can improve.

Lol AWD I've seen ya on the SF4 forums...I've had this game for months, and it wasn't until 2 days ago that I gave it some serious playtime.  The customizing and skill setting is addictive...but I have yet to get my ears wet online.  I have a feeling I'm going to be in for a beating since the AI is ridiculously easy at times...and in no way behave the way a human would.  Hit me up and we can learn together if you want.  I just wanted to play something for a while and let my SF4 jets cool for a bit.

I don't understand why people run away from skilled players either.
I love playing people that are better than me, especially if they're using a character that I'm good at. I learn a little more flow about the character and some new combos. Of course, it's also great to play against characters I don't usually use either. ^_^

WHEN UR PLAYIN ONLINE...ITS MORE ABOUT KNOWIN WHAT EVERYONE ELSE IS DOIN RATHER THAN URSELF.DONT GET ME WRONG...KNOW WHAT UR DOIN....SO U DONT LOOK LIKE A JERK HEHE.

Didnt I beat you the other day only for a round but its still a small victory for a newbie ? you did win the match but seriously that Hilde two move thing was cruel

how could ya know ehsn someones is skilled if havent played with him yet?'

there so many reasons to no accept a fight (lag is the most common for me)

Same. I usually just use Yoshi/Lizard Man character I have against Kilik Users. :P I got my achievo for 100 matches online...stopped playing Ranked all together.

So horrid...it really is. I'll never hit 20 thanks to some people who lag switch or I keep running into people out of the country. It's just as bad as Gears of War. @_@ I keep getting some dudes name HiroshimaKasanaki or some *** and his profile is all in Japanese/Korean letters. So when the game starts it moves like an old Atari Game -Boop-I moved forward-Boooop-I pressed a button-Boop-Game unlags and I'm at no health/he has one more move to do on me and I'm done. :P

Some people use the excuse of a poor connection but when there is a four bar connection and the player is a level 75 or higher with higher than a 70% winning record (I am level 99 with a 66% win record) why do they run? I don't know but it happens all the time...My thought is that those folks only play noobs to keep there percentage high.

i really will play whoever level 300 or watever as long as the connection appears right i just wanna find people that will give me a Good Fight.  DISCIPLEofME you know what im talkin about.

I just picked this up yesterday... the limited edition was super cheap so I grabbed it.

Here's an idea, maybe people "run" because it's no fun to be destroyed by people who obviously play all day and night? Also from the attitudes around here I'm assuming some run because of trash talk or other garbage.

The first thought is a huge misconception, lots of people that play for hours on end online are terrible at this game, and any game for that matter lol.  Time spent doesn't automatically equal progress, if all you're doing is reinforcing bad habits.

The second one though, that would be a legitimate complaint.  A lot of people don't want to deal with that.

I think most people back out from a match is because of connection issues, most of the time i dont accept a match because its not at least four bars or higher. Three bars usually, for me at least, means that my moves will get delayed by 1.5 seconds which is really irritating. Especially if you join a match that says its four bars, then halfway through gets turned into a three bar match and throws off everything (movement, combo flow, reaction time,etc). So while you struggle to get even one move out, the other guy can just laugh away and effortlessly pummel you down  Whats even worse is that after i lose a match like that, i get "hate/trash" messages claiming i "sucked" even though the connection was awful.

I'm not saying that leaving a match because the person is better than you a good thing, but when your a low level player and when a level >50 player joins your game its kind of intimadating. Don't  get me wrong I know the only way to get better is to fight people who are better than you, but I've seen many people get turned off of the online play because they got schooled in thier first few fights. BTW I understand many people leave because they don't want to lose experience or because they're boosting they're XP for the 20 achievment (used to be one of them). Not to be a jerk, cuz i know its really annoying to join a match and have the host leave, but suck it up. There are people like that in any gome you play.

Most of the time its because people want to fight others on a similar skill level, or better to a certain degree. Do you see any new players enjoying getting destroyed by someone that knows how to play several characters inside and out? Nobody learns that way, and actuallys its just near impossible to learn in that method. If you don't give them time to practice combos and guard against people near their level then they cannot advance...

The punching bag method is pretty much saying if we put a professional golfer with a person new to golf to compete that the new golfer is going to learn at a faster rate. No he's just going to get his quantum singularity whipped, you gotta put him against another new golfer. It just doesn't work that way with these sort of games, which is probably why SC should have skill levels no matter what lobby it is so that way people can play against others with similar skills, before searching for higher skill levels.

If we did something crazy like match people up according to skill level how would people measure their e-peen? Will someone please think of the leetists?

Can't believe this thread is still going lol.  Rikuto are you gonna be at the Buffalo major in November?  Toronto will be there, some of the best players in the game.  Equal to or better than NYC's best that you played, imo.

Also, lol online.

fighting games are my favorite games and I'm surprised I didn't get this yet. I'm usually really good at fighters. I can't wait to play skilled players right away. I'm getting this game today.
