People always say, 'how can you have fun just shooting guns and doing sword flip all day,' but honestly, it is a TON of fun to watch people rage quit because they don't know how to block. For instance, two days ago in a KOTH I had someone rage at me over doing Deathstroke's B222 over and over again. He never even attempted to block it, so I had really no sympathy.

That's a variant of the power fantasy I mentioned a few posts back.

Yeah after a grueling day working construction in 100 degree heat, I enjoy getting drunk off my ass and obliterating scrubs with orbs and meteors. It's absolutely hilarious.

I get called a spammer all day long when I run HG, hell I faced a mirror who was pretty good with HG and they called me a spammer just for winning. My response is always the same, "I am not a can of meat". Most fun I have is showing a player the spam ain't working. Love it when they warm me ahead too and say over the mic "I'm warning you all, I'm spamming". Then they find out shit don't work and they lose their fucking minds.

It's never dumb to question if something in a game is stupid, too easy, or too difficult. Your idea or my idea of simple may differ from someone else's idea. You're right, the goal isn't to make games generic or too simple, but I would take issue with making them too frustrating or overly complex, as well. Also, strategic diversity doesn't have to be vast for a game to be good, or compelling. You have the right to enjoy whatever you want, but just realize that other people have the right to not enjoy something they see as being too frustrating. It's the designer's job to determine what the sweet spot is, and what features make for a better game.

I was just saying that I think it's disingenuous when some players try to defend things that may very well be bad design, without giving an honest opinion. Case in point: the Fchamp USF4 rumors. I don't like some of the proposed changes, but I had to be honest with myself and question whether the way it is now is scrubby or not. I don't know. I like the way it is now, but, I may be wrong. Some features that I like might be fucking stupid.
Fair enough: I thought you were just referencing zoning in general, but I actually agree with ya from a design standpoint that a sweet-spot in terms of strategic diversity has to be found for a game to be fun for those who play it. Imagine if we only had zoning as a viable strategy: blargh!

Though, I think NRS learned their lesson with poorly designed zoning with Cyborg: basically a projectile needs to be at a disadvantage on block unless meter is invested (sic Johnny Cage), and even on hit should not be able to combo out of unless it's also punishable on block/whiff (sic Sub-Zero/Scorpion).

Sorry about that bro, didn't know you were from TYM. I never really accept challenges after ranked, it's usually someone trying to "prove themselves" after losing, win one game and then shit talk me in messages :I

Feel free to add me, I'll give you some games sometime! :)
