Retired forever; don’t ask for games.
Greetings Test Your Might,
Crusty the Clown here and I am writing this post which has been in the back of my mind for the past year now but only recently did this question resurface. Here was the situation, I dunno if this was addressed before but here I go.
As much as I hate online for IGAU (and soon for MKX), I play it out of sheer boredom since I can't find anyone nearby. As a player, I hate it when people online jump constantly and it actually works because it disturbs my focus on the game. It's no like the jumping patterns are predictable, just always after a string or after they are knocked down, they have the fucking gall to jump to not only catch me recklessly but stuffing my attempts to counterattack and I just lose my temper.
Perfect example being: after Ares does any string (most of his strings are either plus or safe), I try to poke out of his advance but he just jumps and kills me every single time. Deathstroke constantly spamming J3, Batman's hard to block J2 being done twice to confuse me more, and any character with an annoying jump arc and/or airdash.
I am a completely competent player and easily able to react to, most of the time, in the match (literally waiting till my opponent does something to hang himself). When people start spontaneously jumping it blows up my neutral game, my concentration and above all makes me lose my brothers put it 'my perfect composure'. I can literally start the match composed (go 5 - 0) but then my opponent starts doing the nonsense described above and I just cannot cope with it for some reason (as if of all things, this gets me mad the most.) I get so heated that I get blinded by my frustration which is rare for me and all of a sudden its (5-5) or higher .
So I ask you, the general FGC, how do I get past such stupid tactics or at least avoid being provoked by them entirely. How do I shut down these players terrible neutral game and what options do I have?
This is entirely a universal options for each character in the game. But just for the sake of convenience I play GA, Lobo and Sinestro. I can block JI and Crossups but not when they are used constantly, I feel its a lose-lose situation.
I hope this rage doesn't continue when I get my PS4 on my birthday in february.
