i don't think anyone was trying to diminish sean's play, there was just a lot of frustration. i know that stuff makes some of us feel a bit awkward, but it's just a reality of fighting games that sometimes they're intensely frustrating and demoralizing. i'm not trying to condone or make excuses for my or anyone else's frustrations, and i'm not trying to say that it's not disrespectful, or that people shouldn't try to keep their cool. i'm just trying to say that everyone's goal is to have fun with everyone else; no one is setting out to get frustrated, no one needs to be head-smacked or whatever, and getting frustrated shouldn't be a mark of shame or anything. i'm pretty sure everyone tries reasonably hard to not lose their cool because they respect the people who don't like that stuff, but i'm also pretty sure that when it happens no one is trying to insult or belittle anyone else.
for my part, i'm pretty sure i just need to pick a new character or stop playing SSF4. it's lame as hell, but i really feel like i just can't deal with dudley's execution while trying to learn the game and the stick motions. when i play i feel like i can't reliably do any input so i just fall back to doing retarded shit in frustration. there's also a lot of just general stuff that annoys me about SSF4, but i think if i try using a character who can just fight with normals and really basic inputs so i can just deal with learning one thing at a time it'll be a lot less frustrating.
