Tell me, do you bleed?
I am one of the few that respects much more someone who picks top tier knowing that many won't acknowledge their playstyle, than someone who picks low tier because they know that'll give them another excuse to say "you didn't outplay me".Then I guess I'm a pretty massive scrub. I have a personal rule where I won't use the perceived strongest characters - because winning with them sucks the fun out, I much prefer winning with a lower tier character and not opening the door up the the age old excuse "you only beat me because of tiers blah blah", which, to be quite honest - is actually a fairly good excuse sometimes. Some characters simply cannot compete with a half decent Tempest or Quan even if you out skill your opponent. So yeah, I don't play casually, I do play to win - but more importantly I play to have fun, it is a game after all, and to have fun I have self-imposed rules - I don't expect anyone else to do the same and I couldn't care less if they did, I personally just don't get any enjoyment out of winning with broke tier characters. Unless people don't realise their broke. Then it's fun to show people what some poorly perceived characters are capable of my top 10 would probably make a lot of people cry blasphemy lol but I'm pretty confident that when all is said and done that I'll be closer to the truth than this Tanya/Predator/Erron conception
You say you just accept your loss, but "'you only beat me because of tiers' [...] is actually a fairly good excuse sometimes".PS. my last post was responding to the street fighter book writing guys opinions, not your summary of them, I never blame things for being cheap, or unbalanced, I just accept my loss.
However it is definitely frustrating playing for fun and playing against people who refuse to pick until you do, and make sure that they counter pick and that the odds are completely against them ever having to risk losing a game - "oh you picked Hat Trick? Better pick Tempest to make sure I'm playing one of the best characters in the game against your low tier variation. Oh you picked Grandmaster this time? Better swap to DVorah to make sure I can't possibly lose". However it is super satisfying beating these people. Then tea bagging. Yeah bitch. You like that, don't you. Taste those balls of ice. Open your retarded little bug mouth and take them all in, look me in eyes with those pitch black eyeballs you got. That's right, who's your daddy now huh.
I think you should never teabag. Counterpicking isn't disrespectful; teabagging is.
