...........For the longest while now, I've been trying my best not to get involved in this one, but since a new topic seems to be posted each and every day under this heading, I guess I should pitch in my two cents while I'm at it.If it's one thing about us gamers, or maybe even two is that we are proud, and we strive to win. Sometimes, in the heat of battle, when push comes to shove and defeat is at hand, the preverbial line between the two aspects tends to blur.Take it from me. I truly love it when I emerge victorious, and hey, who doesn't, right? When I lose, however, and I am extremely frustrated, people would somewhat see a very ugly side of me that I would often try to restrain (with very little success). I mutter, I grunt, and may even toss a few insults your way, or even show some cockyness by saying something like, 'It's just luck.' , or someother quip.Eventually, I cool down after a couple of minutes [or hours], and then I accept the fact that I lost, and try that much harder the next time around.My point is, Fault, is that some people tend to soften the blow of defeat by saying things like that to keep their pride intact, or maybe feel less bad about themselves losing. I'm sure that while they're saying that now, they actually respect you and may accept the fact that they lost later. Try not to take it like that all of the time, just try to realise that we gamers are a proud people that sometimes don't accept defeat so easily.Also, I think that you should spend a little time cooling down a bit.From my understanding, you won the battle at hand, and I congratulate you for that, but you let it go to your head a bit when you say things like ' why don't people just admit that I'm better than them' or 'What makes you think practice would make them better then me?' as indicated in your rant above. To tell the truth, practice is what makes gamers like us the top of the line, the very tip of the food chain, so to speak.While I certainly don't condone those who claim so callously that, 'Ahhh, with a little practice, you're nothing to beat', and truly despise such people, there may be those who would practise their hardest, and just need that little push in the right direction to find a way to be on par with you. Sometimes, such things do make, 'the student has now become the master' scenarios. I've seen it a lot, and my gaming career is a testament to that.So, in a nutshell, don't blow your top simply because a few people won't accept defeat so easily. Just try to compromise with the fact that you won, and nothing can erase that victory. People are like that sometimes, but you always seem to encounter them wherever you go. as long as you play your hardest, and fight with all your prowess, then I think that effort, in itself, is commendable in its own right.
Virtua Fighter 4 has the best Training Mode EVER!!!!! That and Tekken 4. Look at USEFUL options. Just thought I should point those out.I got something like this headed my way already from some guy in SNS who looks like Baego's double or something in CvS2. I was playing behind him and the guy thought he was the bomb. Only to realize later that I was cutting his arse with only my left hand as I had a drink in my right. When you do stuff like that, it shuts people up. Learn that kinda stuff Fault and your power will be without question.
wow, all this just to call himself a sore loser. my words, not his.
