    Why do experts taunt beginners?

    Frankly I agree that this really should be just closed at this point, but to summarize for anyone coming in late to the party: Why experts taunt beginners? - They think you're controller is busted, not actually trying to taunt. - They hate quitters, so they're trying to teach you a lesson, or...

    Timid Training Transcript

    First off, when you posted that, that literally made me laugh out loud. Second off... I believe I have a working computer again! So shortly after my last post I sent back the parts for replacement only to find my old parts had stopped working, thus forcing me through several weeks effectively...

    Why do experts taunt beginners?

    Actually I do quite enjoy SSFTHD, very underrated. But Dhocke made a very good point that I continue to be just as amazed at as you seem to be at me, which is how many members of this already quite small skull girls community would prefer the community get even smaller by trying to talk...

    Why do experts taunt beginners?

    Personally I HATE combos, and would love Skull Girls infinitely more if no combo was more then 3 hits long on any character. I find that combos are largely a barrier to the fun, which for me is all about the parts up to and immediately after a combo, controlling space, punishing mistakes...

    So after much fighting with this thing, I did some searching online and it seems the reason my TE stick doesn't want to work with the computer anymore is likely do to my new mother board as some mother boards are not compatible with them -_- Fan-freaking-tastic. While I could try to learn how...

    Just a short update... I have a working computer again! Well... for the moment anyway. So I recently tried to upgrade a number of the parts of my computer (the mother board, processor, hard drive, and ram) and in the process managed to make my computer not work at all. After days of fighting...

    Why do experts taunt beginners?

    So true, I graduated end of 2007 with my bachelors degree in computer science, and from 2008-2011 I was working in a high school cafeteria as a "cafeteria lady" to make ends meet while I used my degree for an over sized book mark. In 2012, because I wasn't making enough money serving angry...

    Why do experts taunt beginners?

    I'm shocked that this thread is still going, but since it is, I'm going to try to illustrate for those who don't understand why some players like myself quit, why we quit. Consider the following scenario. Two men are alone in a room together, one has a gun pointed at the other (the results of...

    WHO THE HELL ARE YOU PEOPLE? (The Personalities Thread)

    I'm relatively quiet in person, but apparently I give off good vibes or something cause I make friends very easily. I'm a people pleaser, it makes me really happy to help people out, and I'm often complimented on my exemplary customer service skills and almost obsessive attention to detail. I...

    Why do experts taunt beginners?

    Just wanted to note that for any who haven't followed my training journal I started since Dime started training me, I haven't spent a ton of time against arcade opponents, most of my time has been in training mode, but I have found the time in arcade mode I have spent to be very helpful for all...

    Help me improve! (With gameplay video examples)

    It might be worth trying to execute any moves or combos you struggle with in training mode with inputs turned on and record that too, I did something similar in my own training journal and Dime_X was able to pick up on some bad habits I had by watching the inputs I was actually using and thus...

    This was something Chris Maxwell brought up to me as well, though he didn't mention the block stun thing, so that explains why the diamond drop kept whiffing on me some times and some times landed. Thats a fantastic idea about using the hitstun bar in training to try to get the timing down, I'm...

    Training - Day 6 So after practicing more the combo with cerebella I began to grow bored with doing the same combo over and over and after beating up on nightmare decided to try my luck at quick match again. Alas, after being near perfected, I got perfected quite a few times in a row before...

    Training - Day 5 So my training has taken a back burner to the holiday as I've had (and continue to have) family in town visiting. That said, I've managed to get in a little training tonight. My new record for damage from a single combo I just achieved tonight is 7852. Thats from 2 vs 2...

    My two cents on Marie, the final boss.

    Hey, I never voted in that poll, but the story mode for this game is awesome, it was actually the most important thing to me in the kickstarter and it was so good I'd honestly be willing to pay for more story mode for the existing characters before adding anymore characters despite the small...

    Training - Day 4 So after looking over the videos Dime_X said he saw a bad habit of mine that at the end of my initial 3 hits of the combo, when I try to preemptively move the stick to jump, I instead would roll it in a quarter circle motion, causing the third hit to turn into her arm cannon...

    Beta Gameplay Changes Incoming!

    Whether people find a way around it or not, I think these sort of changes are positive for the long term health of the game. As things stand the game does seem to have a negative perception in some circles as being a single player solitaire game do to the length of the combos, and I admit when...

    First off, thank you both RuouniLoneWolf and Stuff, some good advice all the way around. While I'm giving Dime_X the final say in all of my training, that doesn't mean I can't some day go back to Squigly or continue to use her casually and I suspect a better grasp on the fundamentals with any...

    Why do experts taunt beginners?

    I'm not entirely sure if this is a serious question, but in case it is, the taunting I was referring to was when an expert level player who got matched up with a beginner level player by quick match and has them near death, instead of finishing them, proceeds to run away from them or jump back...

    Why do experts taunt beginners?

    My strengths are generally in strategy, reading bluffs, and bluffing myself. My weaknesses are a lack of hand eye coordination, a lack of control of my left hand thats well below that of most right handed individuals resulting in struggles consistently doing anything so much as a QCF motion...
