Street Fighter III: Third Strike: Online Edition

[Advocate]

LCD. 6 months old. It has a designated Game system hookup in the back. So, everytime I turn on the 360 I switch to that input and voila. Game time.

I don't notice it at all, but I blame that on a few factors. I have crappy DSL and I should be finally getting FiOS on the 19th, so currently my internet connection could be blamed for things. Two, I don't really notice things like that, but I did try and see how long it took for button press to screen reaction took. Then I remembered Ramon's whole wireless controller complain. Now I have a wire controller and its way more responsive.

Game plays fine for me in player matches.

I just don't play ranked.

Bunch of super salty fools have invaded this game. Always happens to online fighters about 1 month in.
I like to play random people when no friends are around.
the new pattern:

Search for lobby for 2 min. Wait in line for 3 min. Win with Sean once. Get kicked.
Search for lobby for 2 min. Wait in line for 3 min. Win with Q once. Get kicked.
Search for lobby for 2 min. Wait in line for 3 min. Win with Twelve once. Get kicked.
Happened like 6 times last night.
Get messaged saying Im a spammer.
Make own lobby. No one joins.

If you cant handle losing even once, why even play online?

All. The. Fucking. Time.

[Destro777]

yep. Maybe I should just stop with the randoms.

[Razor Ramon]

I do it when I have no other options. But sometimes I'll pick up my stick and go to The Next Level to play some good players.

[Destro777]

Youre lucky. No arcades that I know of around here. Local friends are all ass at fighting games.

[Changeling]

Definitely. There haven't been any arcades open around here for like 12 years. You remember the on at Century 3 Destro?

[Anthony]

I am pretty happy with my computer monitor!

[Destro777]

Hell yeah I remember CIII. The day MKII surprised released at the mall - people were going apeshit. Then kids were selling printout move books. They even had Samuraishodown upstairs. Good times. The arcade is still there downstairs but no fighting games.

EDIT: Actually Changeling, there must be something around here. I remember a couple months back playing randoms in SFIV - someone asked if I was in the Pittsburgh SF scene. That stuff is probably all down Oakland. I aint going down there, heh.
