That actuall explains a lot of the quitting I recieved then.
I just threw sonic booms for days and anti-aired.
Off the anti-air I'd risk something.

Lol, that's why people rage quit. They get frustrated by not knowing how
to attack then they just quit and look for someone less patient to play
against.

I set the difficulty to max, and all you do is end up waiting for stupid
offence to punish.
Really boring.

I must say though that once you reach rank 1000 the guys (excluding
boosters and rage quitters) are *really *good at the game. But there
are 2 different groups of good players. There are the ones who are very
good at setups and tricks, and players who are just really patient and
solid, who don't mind holding down back or 30 seconds just to bait that one
bad jump (pro-tip: you cannot jump at Bison at all, from any angle when he
has super). It feels like the slow methodical play will eventually be the
better strat in the long run, but it's not like the same kind of methodical
play that I prefer. In other words, instead of limiting options and
forcing mistakes by doing stuff, it's more about *waiting* for mistakes
by doing very little.

Because you need to play with honor. Simply put, do you think that
Daigo would play in such a manner? I rest my case.

Then of course there are the guys who rage quit just before KO so
that they can keep their win streak. Can't believe Capcom didn't incldue
even basic disconnect handling. Even Vanilla SFIV had a "disconnect
percentage" value that you could use as a search filter.

First round I lose, then the 2nd round starts and because I picked
up what they're doing the match plays in my favor.
Then they quit.

Incoming essay about SFV after the weekend's beta:
tl;dr: The game is OK, but nothing special. I'd give it 7/10 on a
good day.
- Regional matchmaking simply does not work
- Netcode is passable with the usual rollback glitches.
Sometimes playable vs people in EU, but often not. I played vs
LiangHuBBB
(Germany). He beat me with teleporting DPs and fireballs.
- The rage quitters are hilarious. Why rage over a beta? And
why don't they punish rage quitting in general? It's not like they
can't
do it. They record all sorts of arbitrary rubbish like what button
you
pressed on the menu etc, so they can surely easily detect rage
quitters
with reasonable accuracy.
- Online is play is a mess in general. Account names get
messed up, the female organiser says the wrong thing all the time,
match
stats aren't updated.
- There is so much pointless delay between matches. The
default option after a match is to view the opponent's profile. If
you
click on "Continue Searching for opponents" it doesn't do that. It
just
takes you back to the search screen.
As for the gameplay, I'm definitely not a fan. Offense feels
linear and bottle-necked through a small set of options for each range.
Many characters have "dead zones" in their anti-air options which
opponents
will use to go for x-ups. Over and over and over again. So it's poke
poke
x-up until time runs out. And by that I mean either the player on
offense
or defense will jump because they know there's virtually nothing you
can do
to prevent it because most characters have poor frame advantage and
pushback and low throw range mean regular tick throws are extremely
weak.
Now decent players are aware of this, and often they will just jump
back
fierce punch/kick to beat the x-up attempt. Which is fine, but this
just
slows the pace of the game down tremendously. The other option is to
just
play like Infiltration - pressure string into or hit-confirm or
backdash
out of that zone so that he can anti-air from a good range. But as I
mentioned, this slows down the pace of the game a lot. I think in
general
anti-airs need a buff. Even the ones that are really good aren't
enough to
stop people from jumping. eg. Some anti-airs only do 60% of their
regular
damage later in their active frames.
Speaking of Crush Counters, this is another aspect of the game I'm
not fond of. Offense is dominated by trying put the opponent into
situations where they must guess between blocking or poking/teching.
Which
under normal circumstances is OK because in theory you should be able
to
control the neutral, but most of the time the attack vector is from a
x-up
because of the dead zone for anti-airs and because it's the best
situation
for landing a throw/frame trap mixup. Now many characters simply don't
have the tools to control that dead zone (hence why it's a dead zone),
so
you can't even play an effective neutral game (weak hitboxes, slow
walkspeed etc). Both players just avoid this region until someone
cracks,
or land something random like Karin overhead, Mika drop kick, Cammy
drill
etc. I'm also not really fond of these tools that allow people to
simply
bypass the neutral game. R. Mika for example can ruin your day simply
by
getting you to block a charged drop kick (goes over fireballs and lows,
frame advantage on block, combos on hit), and then putting you in the
mixup
blender. She's like Fuerte with less execution. Minor nitpick though.
Every game has things like that.
I'll play this game because I see the netcode and input buffer
being *really *good for local matches. Like you won't be as
likely to complain about losing because of lag. Other than that I just
think it's an OK game.
