Don't you hate it when you lose by someone who's a noob or plays noobish?

[aLuCaRd_X]

Yeah, it usually happens when you try to look good in front of someone...

ummm if he hyper viper beamed you trhee times in a row with cable hes not a noob unless your a scrub. j.k but yeah it rarely happens so im not so sure

[Mature4evr]

Admittedly, I've been defeated by poorly planned tactics before, so no, I don't take offense to it.  All it boils down to is that you need more practice.

Aerial Wise cause if so you ain't getting out. Im MVC2 you should'nt lose to noobs at all. The games too cheesy for them to even have a chance so he must know how to play somewhat or using upper tier characters..

My biggest surprise -
The best fighting game players use poking a lot

I always try to finish a fight in style with a DM/Super move, but I have been pwned in numerous occasions by expert players that use the speed of weak attacks to annihilate my hopes to win

[slickrickrulz]

lol play to win i guess  8)

[Formerly Hoshi]

Playing to win and having fun are two different things.  People playing outside of tournaments should realize that.

[walt]

At this point in time (and it may sound absurd) I only play to see the sprites, so I use all the moves to see animations ...

[slickrickrulz]

waste of a quarter then lol
@ hoshi. yeah especially if they get caught up in the place one time some nigga got owned by a way better person and the loser  just complained for like 5 mins straight but in the end noone cared

Snk games are good for this. Random Blows just happen to stop you at a crutial point in the match. For Example doing a super only to be hit out of it by a normal move attack that just happen to come out.

doing a super only to be hit out of it by a normal move attack

Attack priorities can be a bitch (especially in the KOF series)!

[Chosen_01]

I've been beaten by average people, but never noobs. Once they keep doing the same thing, I resort to cheap tactics. If they are challenging, I make a change of pace and fight honorably.

[Bastard Mami]

i never lose against noobs unless i am throwing the match in purpose, most likely because i gtg.

Soul Calibur 2. I know it's a very, very technical and deep game, but until you get to the point of absolute mastery (tournament level), a first-timer in an easy character can beat an experienced player in a hard character pretty reliably. You're sitting there tossing out well-memorized moves, combos, and dodging tactics, and he's just mashing. Mashing's got unpredictability on its side, if nothing else; it no longer even becomes a psychology game if mashing takes place, which is hard to get used to when you're accustomed to seeing people using, you know, moves actually appropriate for the situation.

I don't really have problems with KOF, but that's probably because of my character choices. I almost always combo into a super, unless it's very specialized (like a grab).

Are you sure about that? Are you really sure about that?

[S.D.]

Are you sure about that? Are you really sure about that?

At least it is in comparison to the God-awful SC3.

[mugenxero]

Its as technical as a guard impact fest can be!

[Kung Fu Man]

It's always good to be able to use a character people might consider "crappy" or "useless" extremely well for such situations, especially if you know what characters or tactics are broken or overly cheap in the game and what such "crappy" characters can get around them (i.e. Cable's gun? Damn annoying. Try Servbot). Just know your own weaknesses too.

Either way, if you know what you're doing you might not only crush the opponent but might make them think that other tactics could work better.

...either that or they'll just be an asshole about it and storm off.
