Wow. Just wow. After reading this thread I'm speechless. No wait... Okay I'm good now. Time to go on a rant.
Well before I get started; I just want to thank Partisan for getting me into 8way all those years ago when we both sucked at this game, Mateo for keeping me humbled throughout 4, and Enkindu for making me better in 5. It's been fun.
I hate you all. Well, that's not true. Let me rephrase that: I hate all you idiots bitching about something that you have no control over then expecting to get what you want only to have your hopes crushed which leads you to bitch more about something that you have no control over then expecting to get what you want. Yeah that sentence was redundant, and yeah its was a run-on, and yeah I don't give a fuck. This is SCV. SCV is what we have. The game got rushed for reasons we can only speculate. Maybe Namco wanted to make a Super SCV. Maybe PS wanted a head start on the fighting game market before DoA5 and TTT2 came out. Maybe Daishi is laughing himself to sleep as we keep buying all the shit he keeps spewing. We'll never know, but I know whining about it won't change a damn thing. So buck up, assume the position, and moan like you enjoy it.
Now you may ask; am I happy with SCV? Not really, but I realized it is what it is. I don't complain that my main, Yun, isnt in the game anymore, or that this game has some serious hitbox issuses, or that I feel that JG will eventually break the game. Anyone that has played SC before can tell you that the series has had some major balancing issues in the past but no character has been completely nonviable until SCV. No, I'm not talking about Zwei or Ezio you schmucks, both are both solid characters capable of winning with practice and patience. I'm talking about that Raphael guy and his inability to hit to his left. I mean, the only way this guy could win a fight was if he was fighting against Zoolander. For those that don't know; Zoolander cannot turn left and can't take his underwear off with his pants still on. The More You Know. This game doesn't need a patch or DLC; it needs to be finished and I pray that Super SCV: Sorry For The Wait comes out before Christmas, but I'll keep playing because I enjoy it, and I will keep playing it until something else gets my attention.
All that isn't what made me speechless. It was the fact that I feel that the community has really fallen off its game. I've roamed these boards since early 2008, signed on later that same year, and I have learned a lot from posts and videos. Now I have to sift through all the whiney, bitchy, and every other synonymy bull shit that floods the boards on the daily, and it's starting to get to me. I feel like I can't go more than a post without someone mentioning Zas or Talim, or I want ______, which is not what 8wr is about. Maybe I should have expected it. New game means new players, and new players need to learn. But when new players refuse to learn they do bad. When new players do bad because they don't know the game they want things easier. And new players think they can accomplish by being whiney, bitchy, and every other synonymy until someone takes notice. If there was only a place where you could learn the mechanics of the game. Oh well, now where was I? Umm 8wayrun sounds about right. 8wayrun was- IS a place where you meet with others and explore your common interest: SCV. Its a place where you can bounce ideas off more experienced players and maybe even get together and play a few games. But when something as big as SCV comes over the horizon it tends to leave a shadow, a darkness that has reached out to 8wr. And like a shadow, it will get smaller as time passes and eventually vanish as the sun hits its highest point.
I'm not going to lie; I've been a dick here too. I crack jokes and make fun of people: It's what I do and it makes most people laugh. Not to say I'm going to stop doing that, but I'm going to try and tone it down. In fact, I will formally apologize to two Users I feel like I went over the line with: Gatsu and Fahros.
To Gatsu, I want to say I respect your opinions and Berserk isn't bad until the Fantasia arc. No idea whats going on with that anymore.
And Fahros. Sorry about all that. I didn't really mean it and honestly, I started using Rugi by watching your videos and I enjoy all your hyped commentary. Although you can show the inputs in replay by pressing the start button under the options. It would help.
To anyone else I've offended; you probably deserved it. My conscience is clear.
Well I feel better after getting all that off my chest. This is just how I feel right now. Don't take it personally if you're new here. No one person is at fault here. If you're new; welcome to 8wayrun. We something for everyone. From CaS to Analysis to the Hawt Girls Thread. Ask any questions you might have and I'm sure we can find what you're looking for. If you think you hit a block in your gameplay don't fret just ask for some matches and we'll take a look at where you're at and how to improve. At 8wr, we are your resource for all your SC needs and are happy to provide if you are willing to sit down and learn. If you're new and bitching; good luck with that.
