Bruh I just cannot deal with the ranked grind. Too many half screen tastus (or other moving special move), multiple jump ins, dashing in instead of taking their time. I'm here playing F.A.N.G. so that's easy to combat but it's just multiple matches in a row. How do you do it?

i don't know... lol... i mean, after playing ranked back in Super/Ultra SF4, i'm kinda immune to this, i feel like, the first round, i try to "study" on how the guy is playing, if he's jumping all over and waking up buttons, just bait (and play super defensively), if the guy is also studying you, then he's cool (probably not a crazy person)

Also, i feel like MM in CSGO made me kinda immune to "tilt" too, when you are playing CS, with 4 other people, and they start judging you when they die, at first, you get super nervous, later, you kinda get used to it, the whole, palms sweating, and hands shaking, are gone after a while, so, translating that to FGs, is just me, and "meself", nobody is "judging me", i can just relax, even when i get run over by some crazy person... :p

Well, its just a practice thing.. rounds played and time spent in combat, that kinda thing. its not that Im terribly concerned with my rank (i dont care at all) but I have a bad habit it researching and watching and reading.. but just not playing that much. =/

i play ranked, not bc i "care", but i play bc it gives me a reason to "move fwd", if that makes any sense, like, since i don't care about story mode, and i don't really play the other offline modes, online is the only mode i play, so, this ranking system, gives me reason to keep playing the game, same as CS, am a Gold Nova 2 scrublord, i want to play the game, but i don't want to play casual modes, so, comp. to try and get better, rank up, and find better teams to play against !!

P.S. i'm not really a super hero guy, but if Ijn 2 have a ranked system like SF, i'm definitely playing that game, by that alone !!

It's all so very confusing.

I suppose you have to in this game just to get access to some better players (Since you cannot search for higher ranks in casual)

That's a lot of the reason I need to grind it out.. And it *IS* a measure of skill. We all get say its not, and its certainly not cut and dry, but there *IS* a skill difference between Diamonds and Plats and Silvers and so on.. So yeah, climbing through the ranks to get more experience against better players is the primary thing.. and again, my main issue with the game is just a lack of time spent actually playing. Some times grownuppery gets in the way, but a lot of the time, I have the literal time, but my natural aversion to ranked keeps me from using my time well.

You really need to keep on top of this game I think. I stopped playing at Christmas and I just tried to play and my lord I was so rusty. Drops everywhere, can't meaty, like, god damn man lol.

Yes, I try to play every couple of days. I have been playing too much Let it Die. I dont really get motivated to play SF5 unless its doing challenges or BL.

I do the same thing but after the 5th jabbing jumping dashing buffoonery I just get bored lol. Like I know there's competent players on the other side of gold pool but this pool is wide as fuck.

I got the same reason for playing ranked too. But shit becomes tedious instead of fun.

I am not very good but from my experience I always find better ppl in battle lounge that are willing to play longer sets with a much wider character selection. I tried rank for a bit shit was horrible and time consuming and infuriating getting matched with someone from Botswana 5x in a row because capcom thinks he is a 5 bar only connection makes me rage lol.

The luck I have had on there is me usually getting bopped, I win one match then they leave.

That happens sometimes to me. It is usually a super close match vs someone with a way higher rank and a super close match that ends with me baiting a DP wake up and rapeing their health bar with a gief CC combo.

Most of the time though players are pretty respectful and walk back during lag spikes and wait it out which never happens in ranked.

Ranked isn't about learning to play the game it's just about winning. You shouldn't go in thinking it'll help you improve outside of your own mental performance issues and not looking for whatever imaginary code of ethics you follow when playing fighting games lul

either you win or you don't there's no participation trophies or extra points for antiairing x amount of times


That being said, the netcode, loading,matchmaking, and points distribution all need an overhaul and they would benefit adding cosmetic incentives for higher ranked players

I'm sure you didn't mean to be, but this is surprisingly insightful.

I'll admit.. I tried to have a code of ethics, but I realized I was using it as an excuse for losing. Same way I tended to gravitate towards lower tier characters, excuses. So, I shot my ethics in the head and I'll only play characters on the upper end of the ass-kicking spectrum. The more excuses I excise the more its just plain ME. If I go in to a match thinking I'll do whatever I have to do to win and I'll play the best character for the job then .. well, if I dont.. Me.

Now, friendly sets and such Im not going to take advantage of lagg or counterpick or anything, but I find some dumb frame trap, or some little thing you'll let me get away with, I will exploit that until you adapt or I win. lol.
