He's right anyway LMAO
Very true. So players who hate playing the GJs need to make a decision to learn how to beat them or leave the game within the 1st 10 secs the GJ starts.
I hear you and I have the same thoughts on it, but I don't like backing-down from anyone. I don't like them, but I play anyone, anywhere, anytime, as long as the connection allows me free-enough movement to play at least my "B or B+game" ....playing your "A game" online is just impossible most of the time. I've already played almost all of the top players, so there isn't much that surprises me these days, but it's annoying when you play some of these people and I know I could be getting alot more wins and big launchers -> juggles off their mistakes, but they cover them up w/ GJ/KJ so what should be a 10-8,10-9 series ends up at 10-5,10-6 as a result. That's aggravating....especially when you can see clear as day your skill level is higher than the person you're losing to
This short but beautiful post resumes the DISASTER that Umk3 would be if you couldnt cancel jabs with block.
So you think it's better to be able to basically rush down without hardly any risk? The real disaster is the fact that you can pretty much be free do whatever you want with minimal risk. Where's the fear factor?
That's EXACTLY what I'm talkin about. The game was made like that for a reason. You're SUPPOSED to learn to Run-block your way up to Kabal, TKS is SUPPOSED to catch people doing stupid mashing or off-guard, Mileena is useful on Jax, NW, and rushdown-based characters BECAUSE of her Roll. Slides (as useless as they are) is the only thing those characters have LEFT after you learn to shut them down.
You are entitled to your opinion. I like UMK3. I just have my issues with it, just like I do with MK2. That doesn't mean I'm gonna stop playin it. I'm not going to laugh at your opinion like you do to so many others. What you need to realize is that nobody is right or wrong here. Both sides have very legit points. The elitist attitude is a little over the top.
I don't have any issues. I'm sorry for speaking my mind in the first place.
Yes, you're wrong. You cannot cancel HK's with block. And you get whiff punished pretty bad if you whiff a HK, at least against some characters. Just replace the HK with a jab. Sure, there's slightly less recovery, but it definitely won't have the same affect as a Kara Jab.
Every single game will inevitably have some aspect that the designer did not intend. It just isn't probable to get it 100% perfect and exactly as they "intended" it to be. Whether it's a bug, glitch or any interaction that wasn't purposely made to be specifically that way. If you're trying to win, should you exploit these things? Of course you do. It is not our burden to try and figure out how the designer wanted the game to played. Our only burden is to win with what we're given.
Now I see the type of player you are. I mean, I haven't personally played you so I didn't know. You're one of the players who complains about "spam". In fact, you even say it's "not an acceptable tactic". I'm honestly trying not to mock you, but this is exactly the kind of attitude a scrub has. Not an acceptable tactic to whom exactly? If I can do one thing over and over, and you're not good enough to beat one move, regardless what that says about your skill, I'd be an idiot not to choose the easiest path to victory as possible.
It doesn't matter what is "right or wrong". If you think GJ's are "wrong", that's fine, that's your opinion. And to be clear, I'm not saying you aren't entitled to your opinion. All I'm saying is, realize it is YOUR OPINION, and nothing more. If you don't agree with a tactic you can't beat, don't play against people who use them. That's a terrible way to go, but the only other option is to quit the game. It's your move, but know this, once you really start playing to win, using every possible thing at your disposal to win, not caring if what you're doing is "spam", "broken", "cheap", "not intended", "a glitch", etc that's when the scales will drop away from your eyes and you'll come to the realization, much like many of us have, and I want you to know you're not alone... and not to blame.
No, I didn't. If you didn't get your point across that's your fault, not mine. And I was making a parallel between HK's and uncancelable Jabs. You can't cancel HK's, so just imagine that for Jabs.
Of course there's a line. Do anything that is tournament legal to win. I've clearly stated that more than once. Whether they should be tournament legal or not is irrelevant. If they're not banned in tournaments, and they maximize your chance of winning, it shouldn't even be a question. The person using these tactics isn't the people you should have a problem with. Hate the game, not the player.
When you say things like "you're not playing the game as it was intended", or "this tactic is not legit and/or valid", you are saying the above. Obviously you aren't saying it word for word, but I'm sure you understand what implications are.
Look, I don't know if you're being purposely dense, so I won't address that. I never said you said anything. C'mon now, you're trying to split hairs that aren't even there. The argument is that the GJ's cannot be banned from tournaments. So, they're tournament legal. Therefore, it shouldn't be a problem and it isn't considered cheating to anyone but scrubs with mental barriers.
No my friend, the ONLY goal is to win. And winning is fun, that's a fact no matter who you are or what you're playing. I want to improve as a player and a competitor. And doing whatever I can to win (that's tournament legal, aka not cheating "lol") is the only way to maximize my experience and truly test myself and my opponent. I'm not saying playing every casual match as a tournament match. Not at all. That would be stressful and you wouldn't be able to test everything and try new things. I'm saying that use everything you can to win and don't complain because someone is using one of those things.
It is not unrelated. It is not my fault you can't comprehend what I'm saying. It is much easier to dismiss it and say it's unrelated, when it's clearly very related. This was created for discussion, what do you think we're doing? It seems you guys are surprised that when you respond, I respond to you. A discussion isn't just you saying whatever the hell you want and that's end of it. In fact, that's actually the OPPOSITE of what a discussion is. And this point is solidified by you saying you're going to leave the thread after you responded to me, but not waiting for my response. I am not fighting with anyone, you can have whatever opinion you want. I don't understand this guilt trip people try and play when they're losing in an argument. Am I supposed to feel bad you can't convey your points better than I can? Sorry, I guess I'm just not as compassionate as you hippies.
This is pretty accurate. I have to agree with this and again I think it's selfish that just because a small amount of people think GJ is legit they reserve the right to ruin everyone else's fun when playing the game. I'd rather lose to someone playing the game the right way then win by playing w/ glitches that weren't intended to exist.
You were doing really good until this point.....then you really let me down, man. I expect more from you. You claiming that to be a fact yet you know as well as I do that everyone values and measure fun in different ways. Stop responding w/ a post so quick to counter people and start trying to understand them instead. You might be making good points but when you post shit like that, no one is going tolisten to you because of the way it comes across. I know you and you're a good guy, but most of the rest of these guys don't, so you need to consider that when you post. I think you're showing too much feeling or something in your posts cuz it appears that you're getting beside yourself at times.No my friend, the ONLY goal is to win. And winning is fun, that's a fact no matter who you are or what you're playing. I want to improve as a player and a competitor.
..........Sorry, I guess I'm just not as compassionate as you hippies.
If you say winning isn't fun, you're lying to yourself. And I don't care if anyone listens to me. I speak facts and unbiased opinions, it's up to you whether you want to accept them or not.
Seriously bro? I mean, usually I know you're either joking or trying to make a point, but this post is ridiculous. Comparing an in game mechanic that's tournament legal to intentionally lagging the match online? This isn't even worth responding to, but I honestly think you're just joking. Saying GJ's are cheating is the funniest shit I've ever heard in regards to a video game, that's some shit a scrub would say brah.
Seriously Bro? Are you that stubborn you can't even realize not everyone shares your opinions?You're not stating facts....you're stating what YOU enjoy. If what you said was fact then it would be a physical impossibility for me to enjoy losing to a player who plays the game the way it was intended and NOT have fun using bullshit glitches to win. That's not fun to me, IMO <----see how that's an opinion, so there's no way your statement can be a fact.
Of course I realize not everyone shares my opinion, that's the whole point. If I were to dismiss everyone with a different opinion, that would be unfortunate, because there's a lot of varying opinions out there.
