lul at the balance defense force. this top had 4 people play black adam, 3 played Aquaman, and 2 superman i think.

in sfv top 8 right now its literally completely 8 different characters not" i'll just play one match with the character i like hope he doesnt - oh better switch to top 2 lul" but i guess nobody wants to win in that game which is why its not balrog vs ibuki 24/7

That's exactly what they are though. It's like a child crying because they're bored. Anyone booing someone (this applies to other sports too btw) is being an entitled little bitch. King doesn't get paid to entertain you, he gets paid to do his best and win. If I'm not entertained by a match then I just leave, I don't start throwing a tantrum.

People have every right to boo, and I have every right to say it's childish.
I think saying its childish makes you the actual entitled big baby child.

People who booed that lame zoning, you are the true heroes and never forget it. Dull play is what kills fighting games longevity so let your voices be heard when shit gets dull.

Disclaimer: I hate the top 5 and think they are all way too good. I also think most of them are extremely boring to watch.

That being said, we got a scarecrow in grand finals winner side. They aren't unbeatable.
 
I really watched and watched and don't understand how all these top tier chars lose to scarecrow. Whitebois blocks were absolutely amazing but scarecrow just doesnt have any mixups. Only king blocked the 1,2 second hit low a few times...

What does him losing have to do with it being more boring than watching paint dry?

What does it have to do with it being the only match I've seen at the entire event that was repeatedly booed regardless of game?

You're trying to pawn off people's boredome on a lack of understanding when the fact of the matter is batarang zoning is the most boring shit of all time.

And no no one is going to stop watching an otherwise relatively enjoyable game over one particular brand of boring.

P.s. as for getting over yourself that should have been obvious. The implication from your post is that people booing or frustrated by batarang zoning clearly only feel that way cause they bviously aren't on your intelectual level which makes them incapable of understanding zoning.

Which is why they hate it. As opposed to just, ya know, being boring as shit.

I feel like you didn't read my post and lashed out on a topic I didn't even really address.

My post was a reference to scrubs complaining that zoning is OP and that the game's meta is completely tied to zoning, and that the game was shallow because anyone that can rifle projectile after projectile can be successful.

I didn't address in venue boos at all, or what rights spectators do and don't have. Of course people can find something boring, the only argument I made was that it's a colossal waste of time to sit online and watch a game you actively dislike. I barely referenced entertainment value at all except to briefly compare how it's relative and subjective what styles of play are boring or not and compared overly cautious play in sfv as an example.

So no, the people complaining about how zoning dominates I2 literally don't know what zoning is about or what they're watching. It has nothing to do with my intellectual vanity or a superiority complex, as plenty/most people that dive into this game understand that while zoning is effective and a viable play style, it isn't at all the oppressive, broken mechanic MANY claim it to be.

Again, I have no idea why you replied to me in the first place, or why you took my post so personal. Frankly, your reaction and general demeanor scream "I have an outsized ego" if anything.

I subjectively enjoyed watching whiteboi stalk down king, so you're opinion is no better than mine. And it's just that; an opinion.

So save your personal attacks for when they're valid, and don't selectively interpret my posts to fit your narrative.

I couldn't care less about people like yourself that found that set boring, because you can like what you like, simple. But, the point of my post is that I'm sick of people crying about zoning's brokenness when time and time again we see examples of good players in "hopeless" matchups show patience and discipline and get in and apply their game.

Zoning isn't the be all, end all, defining feature of this game. On day -1 people decided that this game is a spammer paradise of mindless projectiles and it bums me out to see that mentality persist in the face of such obvious evidence to the contrary.

he played aquaman too. not unbeatable but the point is if one guy isnt playing ba or aqua or (on the rare occasion not even top 5) on stream he prob already has or will eventually. those are the real mains. nobody in top 8 for sfv is going to switch to Balrog or Ibuki when the chips are down and its not because "they dont want to win bad enough" or whatever garbage excuse for the balance is lul. in fact everyone in sfv top 8 has mained their character since release thats real character loyaltly lul

Crowd cheers whiteboi, man who brings the hype and fun

Makes the booing of forever king all the more damning

Those things aren't at all mutually exclusive. King played the MU how anyone set on winning would; zone the fuck out of a midscreen/footsie character with limited counter zoning options. It wasn't glorious, and wasn't beautiful, but whiteboi navigating it and earning his spots damn sure was.

King regularly brings the hype and is far from a batman player who does nothing but toss bats, he simply played the MU. Not the hypest set by far, but whiteboi did his thing and in a MU many see as free, prevailed.

That shit is hype to me.

Still: nerf BA, aqua, and batman because duh.

If you look at early SFV the game was plagued with Nash and Chun so I don't see what your point is. I never said the game is balanced and have in fact said the opposite numerous times. But I do think people are overreacting on how easy it is to play these characters at the level these guys are playing at. There's a reason most of these players are consistently doing well.
