Do you get upset with losing close matches?

[DragonPick]

I've seen it go either way on the former. People happy because it was a close match, even if they lost, and it was a great challenge, or people pissed because they made that one mistake that cost them that last 2% they were hanging onto.

Which is it for you, or is it something completely different

 

[Mattman]

it kinda depends on who im playing against. if im playing a superior player and its real close, 9 times out of 10 i got a smile on my face at the end of the match. if im playing someone using tactics i feel are inferior or cheap and im just too stupid and free to adapt fast enough, well, i may react in a manner that has caused the current predicament im in now. i cant play at all because something tragic happened to my only controller. apparently it was the victim of a salty rampage

My last tournament both of my losses were last round, practically last hit losses. It makes me extremely salty, I cant help it. You just have to take it and move on.

It depends why I lose.

If its because of stupid shit out of my control, like the input bug turning my uppercut into a standing 2 after landing a spear on someone that has like 10% health left, or an equally retarded "NRS" situation, I get really annoyed.

If I just got outplayed or was due to my own error, I don't get bothered much by it. If it's in a tournament I'll be pissed at myself though. I still have nightmares thinking about all the easy shit I dropped repeatedly at Final Round. Like super easy shit like a simple vortex string that I dropped 3x in a row in my first match, which was on stream making me look like a retard.

Nothing is more aggravating though than losing a close match online due to a horrendous lag spike hitting at the worst possible time, and then getting hate mail about how much I suck and how invincible the other guy is, even if he got babied the last 10 matches. Though this is just as funny as it is aggravating.

I love third rounders. Last hit really pulls the clutch out of you. If I just happen to start lucky combo, I end up yelling stuff like "OH SHIT THIS IS ABOUT TO GET REAL!" if I lose though, I'm not really upset at all. Just means I should have done something different.

 

[Rampage254]

Depends on who I'm playing. If it's some random guy jump kicking around and all that stuff, I tend to get salty if it was a close match. If it's someone who is on my skill level, or better than me, it tends to be way more fun, even if I lose the close match.

 

[Briggs8417]

It always depends.

 

[Gh0sty]

Invariably I blame myself your losing "next hit wins" matches. So yes, salt flats.

I only get upset when I just get completely bodied.

As far as "dropping the vortex setup" goes, it's not as unfathomable as you might think as I discovered stuff in the lab that fortifies that this game's horrendous input detection goes far and beyond simply not recognizing the down button for a split second.

It's hard to summarize but here's an example:
do spear, cross over punch: F2,1, telepunch, back.
It's hard to do on purpose but when you do get it and see it, you'll shit bricks.

I remember this topic...

 

[Lumpymoomilk]

losing a close match and getting tea bagged is the only thing that annoys me really. Like someone who barely wins then goes haha i won is just sad. Normally if they just poke me or something to finish it i'll send them a gg but otherwise I'm just disappointed in gamers as a whole and their lack of sportsmanship.

 

[Chongo]

Depends. If it was a very close match, and I drop a fucking easy combo that would win me the game, I'm salty for a little bit, especially if lag has to do with it. I'm usually cool about my losses though.

 

[Espio]

Close matches make me happy, especially when we're going back and forth with each of us using our mains on top of that .

I don't recall ever getting upset about losing a close match unless lag strats and other shenanigans were involved and I couldn't counter the tactics due to it being overly laggy.

 

[Wemfs]

Only little rage quitting cry babies get mad when they lose. I tip my hat and say gg.

 

[NFI]

Usually...yes. I always think about all the hard work I did to get to that position and it gets me mad when all my work goes down the drain after losing by him jabbing me.

I know what you mean, but having it happen 3x in a row due to the input bug would likely have astronomical odds.

I was dropping tons of easy stuff that day anyway, even stuff that had no down inputs to it.

I almost lost a match in a tournament yesterday because I went to finish someone with an uppercut after a spear and did a standing 2 instead. Luckily it still killed him but that doesn't make the situation less stupid. Well maybe a little less stupid.

Like when it comes down to one last poke and we're both frantically d4ing each other for it? Yea. I scream.

But it's so fun when you both freak out and start scrambling to simultaneously attack without dying in the process. I'm usually laughing so hard during these moments that I will end up usually losing. (in a non competitive,setting of course).
Even with money on the line, I don't get pissed. I love the nailbiters, win or lose.

im imagining that usher song "scream" and a music video where it's an mk game that comes down to the last 1%

 

[Verstande]

hell no I don't get upset. When its up to the last pixel of life, those last seconds are hype as hell ( at least to me )

 

[London Lust]

The most annoying piece of crap moment is when you're about to make an awesome comeback and both of you are at 0.0000000001% health and he barely wins.
