Thread: Popular Opinion of Skilled Gamers

  1. You know the answer to all this lies in the Karate Kid Montage scene right?

  2. I love playing fighting games against people who are better than me, because that helps me become better. I don't really like playing against Guitar Hero or Halo wizards because when I get my ass kicked there, it's not like I learned anything other than the fact that I suck.

    That being said, win or lose, video games are fun. Can we all play some UMK3 on XBLA now please?

  3. I had a friend who no matter what game we played he would always win. The dude was just really fucking good at pretty much any video game. I'm pretty good at puzzle games and even games that no one else I know could beat me in (puzzle fighter, tetris attack) he could start to beat me with in 20 minutes of playing a game. Drove me crazy but he was just naturally good at the stuff. Now that his crazy girlfriend hates me for existing, and I haven't seen him in a while I miss playing games with him, even shit like Guilty Gear where he could kill me in like 5 seconds.

    So some people are just good at games, I don't see why you should look down upon them unless they are being a douche.

  4. I'm still completely undefeated at Britneys Dance Beat.

    There are no rules, only consequences.

  6. I refuse to play Puzzle Fighter ever again. I tried to fuck around and use Akuma against Dan versus Brandi.

    That game died for me that day.

    I don't care if people are better or worse than me. I just don't like douchebags. Douchebags, unfortunately, are of all ages, genders, and skill levels. Bad douchebags are obnoxious. Good douchebags are obnoxiously frustrating.

    Somebody doing Kabal's bullshit combos on me while taunting is not fun. Somebody doing it and laughing with me at the brokenness of Kabal is funny... especially if we do a Stryker vs Stryker match afterwards and I do a crossing guard friendship.
