Online Complains/Rants About Etiquette, Players, Netcode, Desyncs etc!!

[GNG Iniquity]

Guys, I need some more PSN TYM players to play online...fuck playing random players. This shit is garbage. I went against some guy's jade a minute ago with rep and beat him, so I ask for a rematch because hey...even though I won I'd like to learn the comp a bit better and see what she has. So, instead of the guy picking Jade, he picks Reptile and we do mirrors. It's close but I lose barely, so it is what it is, guy does a fatality of course because casuals is srs bizness and he was mad.

So, I do one more round with him, and he picks Easymac and I pick Gayno. Because hey, if he's going easytier I'll go easytier too. He gets a lucky forcelift off and beats me and I 'rage quit' before I have to watch another fatality of which he spams RAGE QUIT! into the chat.

It's just fucking pathetic, these are CASUALS! What the fuck are these people trying to prove...go play a tournament FFS where wins matter. Jesus Christ, I am done with these random players. I messaged the guy basically rambling about what a prick he is and how MK must be his only satisfaction in his tiny dicked shit filled life to take casuals so seriously...no reply naturally because I'm clearly correct.

I'm just tired of this behavior, it's a game, it's casuals. Even in tournament level settings people don't have this fucking attitude; most are friends who play casuals together or at the very least are friendly towards one another. I'll never forget going to a LAN one day with a few friends and playing CS, some guy kept egging on this kid and this guy just walks over to him, slams his face into the desk, breaks his nose, throws him to the floor and beats the shit out of him...

Point being, this behavior will get you physically hurt outside of the internet. It's ultimately a game, even if you're a well known tournament player you should have your ego on check because A) you're living borderline poverty in most cases in your parent's basement, can't make a career out of video games these days I realize there's some exclusions from this however and B) it's likely that somebody will beat you, one day.

Being a thread about online play - i get it, i dont play online for 2 reasons: lag/delay and ignorant peeps, but this post brings out one of my biggest pet peeves: people using the term gay as something negative or wrong. Using terms like "[ban incoming]" and "[ban incoming]"....are just signs of ignorance and intelligence. "Gayno"? i get it but come on. Not just hating on you, or just your post cause i see it everywhere....but thats part of my opinion of "online behavior"

 

[GNG Iniquity]

Tim, you've gotta watch the episode of South Park with the bikers, that basically summarizes how most of this generation uses it. I'm not homophobic in the least, but we all started using 'gay' etc during around the late 90s as essentially the new term for 'cheap'. Of course the words still have their derogatory intolerant terms as well, but it depends on the context.

I try to limit myself from using it but man, we all used it every single day, in middle school. I don't know why the new definition of the term exploded like it did. It's unfortunate, but at the same time, the term is losing it's original intolerant meaning so that's a good thing.

Gay has had multiple meanings. First it was happy, then it was a derogatory term for a homosexuals/lesbians, but was adapted and began being an openly acceptable word to define sexual preference and now it's taken on a synonym for cheap.

This guy was spamming Noob's shadow moves on me, without taking a single step the entire match (apparently he thought zoning is all Noob is capable of). I was Kano, so I got around it easily, but he refused to adapt to my countering and continued to do it. Whatever, easy win. The next match rolls around and he picks Cage. He starts spamming this one 3 or 4-hit combo on me, along with some AA; I swear, for the love of God, I couldn't get around his garbage. Lag wasn't an issue, so it was my own fault for not catching on to it. Anyway, during the match, I start spamming my moves out of frustration to give him a taste of what he's doing to me (which is probably what led to my downfall), and the prick has the gull to bitch about it. I don't understand some people. There's a difference between talking trash and being a moron.

Oh, and this is my first post on TYM. Hi.

LMAO!!! The same thing happened to me a few days ago. The picked Kabal and literally spammed fireballs and the ground saw. I managed to beat him and then he picked Sonya. I must admit I was not used to the matchup so I started spamming gunshot and grenades to keep her out. He had the nerved to call me cheap spammer after what he did to me with kabal lol

Oh and welcome to TYM hehe

 

[PoliceBrutality]

One on my pet peeves online is Rage Quit!!! my goodness i cant stand it. How are is it to sure press No after the match sheesssh!!!
Second one is the disrespectful trash talk

 

[GNG Iniquity]

See, Rage Quitting during the actual match is one thing, skipping out on being locked into a fatality animation for 20 seconds is another. I just want to move on and play someone else. I think the people who physically walk over to their consoles and yank out the Ethernet cable are much worse to avoid the loss. My Win/Lose ratio means jack shit to me online.

 

[PoliceBrutality]

seems like someone doesn't have the balls to keep my comments on this thread

anyway, I have a question for you all
what do you guys consider ragequitting?
example: I'm in a match and I lost
as soon as the last bit of my life is depleted and Finish Her are on the screen, I back out to get into another match
Is this considered ragequitting in the MK community?

I come from the SF community so I'm used to jumping from match to match quickly
If I lose, I wanna take my loss and get back into a fight
I have no problem whatsoever when an opponent does it to me
In fact, I'm hoping they do
but when I do it, I get people crying in messages about me being a ragequitter??
eventhough the fight was over
is the necessity to perform a fatality that important?
I just want to clear this up if I'm over stepping some sacred MK custom

that behavior is exactly what i call ragequit. i dont do fatalities and I learned something new the other day. the "No Blood" mode from the select screen. It just jump right into the select screen I believe. You dont even get prompt for a fataliy. Both players just need to have the raiden icon if the first slot (Hold L2, then press Square, or just hit square 9 times)

lol no its not. You lost, then thats on you. Its not your choice if you want to view the fatality or what not when you lose. Sure they are casuals, but thats poor poor online etiquette.

That didnt fly in the arcade days, it doesnt fly in tourney play and shouldnt be something that flies online too.

To me, hell no, I hate watching that shit. Waste of 20 seconds of my time. I always make an attempt to plug in zombie combat before the round because I just want into the next round asap.

Actually, I base my matched on the win/loss ratio. I always look for players who have a lot of wins and minimal loss. I always assume that these ppl are skilled and I will probably learn something from them. I spent most of my time online since I dont have friends close enough to me to play regularly offline. So yeah I go online to improve my skills which is why i try to be as polite as possible. Although, I dont like to take on some of the trash talkers sometimes, just to see what they are fussing about

Meh. The older I've gotten the more I've felt that it's a gimmick. It's all it is...after the 1,000th time I've seen it...I don't care. Look at all the streams, what does the player who loses do immediately once the victor plugs in the fatality? Unplugs and walks the hell away. I don't see the difference. The only reason it flew in the arcade days was because there was generally only 1 arcade set up, you had to endure it, especially if you wanted to play the player again.

Now, you have the option to walk away from the tournament setup once eliminated in the 3rd round or merely leave the game.

are people really that frantic about the next game? i think people just have no patience.

 

[GNG Iniquity]

I'm not exaggerating by 20 seconds, Kung Lao's buzz saw fatality takes approximately 21 seconds. 21 seconds can end a round. It adds up.

 

[Cburnham81]

lol no its not. You lost, then thats on you. Its not your choice if you want to view the fatality or what not when you lose. Sure they are casuals, but thats poor poor online etiquette.

I agree with this...Its not that big of Deal just wait the next 15 seconds before clicking "NO." There's no reason to be backing out just because you don't wanna wait for your next match... Thats Absurd... its less than 20 seconds always!!

Edit: Less than 21 seconds always!!

Again, you're assuming that I want to play the player again. I usually play 3 rounds, so on that 3rd round, as opposed to wasting 15-20 seconds of my time I simply quit right at the "FINISH HER/HIM". I don't see how it's a big deal. If it was mid match, okay, but it isn't. Once again, it adds up quickly, if they're playing Kung Lao and do his buzz saw fatality which is one of the longer fatalities in the game then that's 1:03. 1:03 can end a match.

Not everyone who plays enjoys the novelty of fatalities, played the game as a kid simply to see them and nothing else, that's not my mentality these days. Fatalities have been the gimmick to this game in the past to pull people in because it's what made the series unique. MK3 and MK9 both have actual high level play, I'm not an 8 year old boy anymore playing sub-par MK2 spamming away to see a fatality.

I don't enjoy the novelty of fatalities either. I almost always just jab them or something real quick to move on to the next match. I still think its terrible online etiquette to quit before the game gives you the opportunity. I wish MK9 would do like other games and not even give you the option to quit a game...Making you have to back all the way out to the xbox dashboard or PSN home if it is that important for you to quit.

Well, what can I say...MK's been crap for the past decade and I picked up the SF mentality of moving on. I don't 'rage quit' to avoid the fatality, I just don't care to watch it. I'm not salty about my loss, I still message the player stating good game etc. C'mon now...the casual win/lose ratio player matches actually means something to you guys? I'm not playing ranked here, so my actual 'online cred' isn't being hindered.

I'm simply just doing an ontothenextgametality.

agreed. if i won and i choose to make you watch the fatality, thats what you get for losing.

I think you just inspired me to start doing fatalities again with that post!

 

[GNG Iniquity]

Ah boy, this is why Western games have such a negative reputation. "I'm the winner, I must bathe in your digital entrails to proclaim my victory! HUZZAH!" Suppose I really shouldn't be surprised by the people this game attracts online due to this...

Gimme a break. I'm 23 years old. I'm desensitized to this shit at this point, it's not as if I'm cringing with my hands clawing my eyes at the horror on my 40 inch TV presented in 1080. it's just a waste of my time. Ask around these forums, the opinion on the matter is a solid mixed 50/50.

If there was an editor in the game for use creator fatalities that were unique, then sure, I'll watch 'em. Personally, I don't see why this isn't in the game, they all basically compromise of the same dismemberment animations with very slight variation between them. LittleBigPlanet for instance has an editor of which you can create much more difficult things in them and share other than simple animations. But I've seen them all at least 100 times now when I was keeping up with the game.

 

[LordSpectreX]

Lol. Doing an embarrassing finisher in a fighting game is not an American exclusive thing. Both BlazBlue and Guilty Gear have impractical ways to finish matches. Via Astrals and One-Hit Kills. At least fatalities happen AFTER the match so it doesn't ruin the integrity of the game if someone attempts it.

Besides, does it matter that much? It's like 15 or 20 seconds. If you don't want to see them, don't lose your matches. Simple.

 

[GNG Iniquity]

Look, all I'm stating is, if you enjoy fatalities then great. If you don't, then you don't, but who cares. We're discussing avoiding a animation which locks you into the game...that's it. MK can finally stand on it's own legs without this stupid gimmick and here we are belittling the people who actually enjoy the actual high level play that this game finally has. Go to the fatality trainer. You wanna play, then let's play...I have no problem with that. I just don't want to sit idly by and scratch my asshole for 20 seconds while I wait for the next round.

I put in the command for zombie combat every single match, it's not as if I don't make an attempt to avoid this waste of time crap to begin with.

See, here's the problem. You assume that I'm embrassed and humiliated by watching a fatality...I'm not. I'm simply annoyed due to wasting my time in my opinion. I'm not familar with BlazBlue tbh but I am slightly familar with GG; those animations take about 5 seconds.

 

[GNG Iniquity]

Samurai Shodown has them as well, again, they take no more than a few seconds. I would've preferred more energy spent into the mechanics of this game then the story mode and the fatalities but hey...different views I guess.

Ah, maybe not embarassed. But it's pissing you off. Prehaps the kind of negative attitude towards them is why they do it?

Guy: Lol I'm going to do a fatality to waste this guy's time and annoy him.
You get annoyed.
Successful Troll is Successful.

And BB/GG finishers last around 10-15 seconds. Not that much shorter than most fatalities.
