If the dude was upset at the loss, Its understandable why he didn't handshake the guy. Good Sportsmanship or not.
Idk why this match is highlighted though.....shame dude is getting this much attention over something that happens all the time.
Fun fact: nintendo showed the first match on a series of 10 brawl tutorials on their nintendo channel of the wii. NINTENDO SHOWING AN EVOLUTION MATCH!? Crazy if you think about what almost happened with melee at evo this year...
Internationals
Alliance v NaVi
would this have been possible in any other 2D fighter except Breaker's Revenge?
He couldn't defeat Sheng Long to stand a chance.I don't get how that Rufus player was "bad"? He just didn't have the composure of the Ryu. The Ryu was ballin' as fuck though. Big ups.
I think those were Sirlin videos.
all i said is that they "showed" it because it was on their channel (in one of the wii "apps")
most of the top player pool matches were played offstream, so we got to see exciting things like fishstix #1 american vs the world and etc. but logan said it pretty well, fsp didn't adapt and lost.
lol players
Yeah, 2 bad players can play any fighting game and do bad things lol.
Ok then well it shouldn't and no one should be obligated to be "good sports" either if they don't want to be.
Of course it's not obligated to be a good sport. You don't have to be good sport if you don't want to; I'm just saying you burn bridges that way, with the audience, with the judges, with contestants, with sponsors, with employers, etc.
If you want to say 'fuck everyone' and storm off, go ahead, but people will perceive you differently, whether it's a fair judge of character or not, on the way you act from moment to moment.
So yes you still have a choice in the way you act, no one is taking that away from you.
I know, I remember them. It was just weird to see this Sirlin made thing shown by Nintendo.
Like what the fuck does nintendo care about people getting better at smash

I was saying this match should not have garnered this much attention and its sad that it has. I know what went down lol.

So what happened to the scrub in the next match up?
i dont get it.
She sucked initially but after a buff or two Sheeva became very powerful, her armor moves were great, and people didn't know what to do against her because she was rarely chosen. I got hundreds and hundreds of scrub wins (if that's what you want to call it) with Sheeva online back in the day. Her jump in combo if it connects is 33% and it's so long you have time to figure out whether it's blocked or not. On block you can end the combo differently and safely and it still chips like 10% damage total.
That teleport can be dropped center forward or back and you can play some wicked mind games. I don't know if her fireball was ever patched but you couldn't duck it (iirc), and blocking it would force a push back. Again, I don't know if it was patched out, but Sheeva's only real weakness was jump in pressure once she got super armor on her moves.
The sheer amount of people who didn't know her combos or moves won me an incredible amount of matches. People would laugh at me over voice chat as soon as I picked her but after a minute or so just didn't know what to expect and would start freaking out or simply rage quit.
The fact that it was "well known that Sheeva sucked" is probably what made her that much better.
There were a few characters I was terrified to go up against, I think it was Kung Lao and Johnny Cage, I forget why though.
Are newer players actually referred to "scrubs", or is that only pro players looking down on them sort of thing. He was not looking very happy though lol.
The latter, definitely. "New players" become "scrubs" when they do better against experienced players than they have any reasonable expectation to. They earn a derogative title because the experienced player doesn't want to face the reality that his years of experience failed against a random button-masher.
So I guess not shaking hands or saying "gg" or whatever would be a big deal in eSports?
This is a good one and also extremely hilarious.Kinda relevant to the original video. Mike Ross vs Yipes and involves breaking down a cage

Was that the Dota 2 match where they intentionally stretched it out to 90 or so minutes just so they could set a record?
It says more about the game than the "scrub".

I'm going to guess LoL players not knowing what they're talking about
It seems like people who don't know that much about fighting games are ignorant to what made Ghandi's play "scrubby." It's not just some label people are giving him because he won against a better player. It describes his complete lack of setups, spacing, timing, or even basic combos. He's not a button-masher, but he's really only a step above that.wtf are you even talking about
That escalated quickly. Hit a raw nerve?

If you can't see that because you don't follow fighting game closely, then just take our word for it. Nobody is mad at him for winning in a scrubby fashion. In fact, his winning is exactly what makes this video so entertaining.
This post is too raw for me.4th best marvel player in the world beating one of the american gods in a 1 game set is too raw.

Heres what the general definition of scrub is in terms of gameplay.No. When someone says "Scrub" it usually refers to a player that is of low skill and does things without rhyme or reason. It's a step above "button-masher" but still in the same general area. Even high-level players can have "Scrub" moments depending on state of mind at the time. It happens in pretty much every game.
I don't know much about SF4 competitively but I'm going to assume that dude was so used to playing a certain play style( presumably a safe one) that the randomness he was presented with was too jarring and confused him,and/or he just completely forgot simple fundamentals. Seemed like all he had to do was block and punish.Even though I've only ever really been Mid-Tier or slightly above the fighting games I've played, I can say I've lost a couple matches in similar fashion.( the last one I can remember being VF5 Final Strike last year); You may know the counter, but if you're not accustomed to the randomness or don't train to deal with an unsafe play style, you won't be able to think of or instinctively pull out the counter right away, and may not adapt in time. That's why even for pro's, knowing when to play unsafe or "random" can be a valuable skill.
No, I'm just calling out stupidity and/or ignorance.
