What I'm trying to get through to anyone that things my proximity from the server gives me advantage is for them to think again. My moves are almost 0.5sec behind everyone else. That sucks for me and for Red to think I have some sort advantage makes me want to hit the roof!

My gameplay is greatly improved when I'm home in Toronto. Fact!

===========================

@ Atari: How does the programmable controller work? I've never actually used one. How many combos can you program into the unit?

Trax

atari lets get some games in

GOD DAMN'T RED....STop being such a fucking dork. WHAT IN THE HELL DO YOU WANT US TO DO ABOUT IT?

There will ALWAYS be lag on the internet so just fucking deal with it and stop posting about it like you struck oil. If you think you have a solution to fix all lag on the xbox live then please by all means tell us and we'll all go outside to dig up our cables and rewire them....until then just DON'T POST THIS BULLSHIT. WE KNOW IT ALREADY. As far as adapt goes you wouldn't have a fucking clue what that means either because video games have been out since 1976 and you still play fighting games with aracde joysticks......YOU CAN'T ADAPT. Says a lot.

well shit I guess I killed that topic

u killed shit, its just funny how the guys who say adapt are the ones that dont have to deal with this.

my way to adapt is to pick the same character over and over, the charater i feel give me the best chance to balance out any frame adv.

I'll tell you why you pick the same character over and over again...

IT'S BECAUSE YOU ACTUALLY SUCK AT THIS GAME!!!

For some has done so much fricken testing and character guide and claims to be subject matter on MKA... YOU FRICKEN SUCK AT COMPLETE GAMEPLAY!!!... but you rock at executing glitches.

======================

Now, the above is not a dig at you, Red. It's more like a fact and observation from playing you.

Trax

Truth is Red is a very good player.

Problem is his connection vs most, if not at all, puts him at a serious disadvantage. How he handles this fact and his personality in general is what most of you dont like about him. Fine. Who cares? But to say his gameplay sucks is not accurate.

And stop saying adapt. How about you play every match with a 25% handicap, then you adapt.

Check out the thread I just opened for an idea into programable controllers.

Atari, Red will constantly make excuses. I really don't hate Red. I just hate his lame excuses. And no dude, he's not the only one affected by connectivity issue. Every that plays online is affected and the adaptive play still stands. Those who adapt to lag, indifferent gameplay always end up becoming highly skilled while the rest of us who sits and blame anomalies always end up at the bottom of the league.

Just want to make a general statement here:


Not to knock anyone on here that discovers glitches in the 3D MK's but discovering glitches does NOT make you a great player competitively, just like knowing the story of MK well means jack shit at high level comp or remembering combos that do high damage.

There are players out there that use minimal glitches and win a lot or are very good, or players that play this way and have beaten players that rely on AC, 33 nonsense...

Guys like bobby, pig, myself, alex are living proof of that.


Have a nice day

I agree. Discovering glitches does not make you a great player. But I also agree with Atari. Saying the Red completely sucks is inaccurate. To me, it seems Red is more stubborn than anything.

For example: If Red's playing somebody that consistently jumps away from Scorpion's free Hell Fire after 1; Red will continue to attempt the free Hell Fire instead of landing a F+1 in weapon on them or doing any dial. That would keep them honest and discourage them from attempting to jump away every time. That's just my opinion from what I've heard and seen in videos.

But I know how bad it's gotten with me online. When guys are overly safe, or hit you with things WAY out of range, or everything tracks for them, or whatever. And I have to admit, it's going to be worse for Red. The only difference is that I'm more likely to adopt ^^ the above tactic (or a similar one) when Red won't.

Stubborn. Not sucky. That's what I think. But hell, I don't know.

OK! May saying Red 'sucks' is somewhat inaccurate. But I said sometime back that he doesn't do the simple things and your statement above proves that.

Anyways, I just think it's wack that every time we start a convo about gameplay, we always seem to get into lag discussion. Lag is constant, gameplay is not because you tune it.

Trax

NO

adaption means deal with the lag and pick up a human game controller and grow out of the arcade stick. You are not adapting.

Ok so what we have is

red can't adapt and is stubborn
Gtrax angry for the first time ever
Atari has cooled down from two weeks ago and is correct in his statement
mkf logical

As far as Im concerned, if you have the abilty to avoid being hit 90% of the time, then 3,3 is fair game and you shouldnt look down on it. Dont feel you are a better player because your connection allows you to pull off nonsense.

We played MKLegend and I cant hit you in the air. I cant land BASIC juggles or most Air Combos. That shit was lame. But whatever, I'll keep playing but I have to be able to balance it out some how. Wouldnt you agree???


MKA online is a joke. A funny joke. Especially if your drinking.

yea whenever I play MKA online I just can't control myself from laughing. Man, laugh laugh laugh...yep that's all I do.

Hey I thought you were going to call me next time you were in atlanta so we could play some offline games? and drink? and maybe you can bring your new programmable controller so I can laugh at you

I AM NOT ANGRY!!! I AM NOT ANGRY DAMN IT!!!
