Street Fighter professional gets upset when he loses to a beginner's unpredictability

I'm guessing Street Fighter fans have already seen this but I used search and couldn't find it here

This is why I hate playing online in fighting games.
i wouldn't exactly call fsp a "professional"
this is pools being streamed, it's not like it was top 16 or anything.
Wait who's the pro, I have no idea who these people are
[QUOTE=MrDestroyer;45009888]Wait who's the pro, I have no idea who these people are[/QUOTE]
neither of them are pro, but rufus/fsp is the skinny guy who's getting mad, and gandhi/ryu is the fat guy having fun.

The guy in the gray Nintendo sweatshirt, he's playing as Rufus.
And I guess neither of them are pro according to BeardyDuck, and I dont know shit about SF so I'll take his word
This counts for a lot of games. New players who haven't really gotten the game mechanics under control tend to be really differing in their techniques than average/pro players, kinda catches you off-guard.
I'm pretty sure it was posted in the FGC thread but this is still funny.
-heey i take everything back i know nothing-
[QUOTE=blehblehbleh;45010164]fsp is apparently a really good player though, he's probably played for years and I imagine he ranks in the top 1-2% of players normally. The other guy is just some random who still plays much the same way beginners play, with a lot of button mashing and few tactics.[/QUOTE]
not even close. he's a random no name UK player that can't break out of pools.
My personal favorite case of FGC rage will always be Sanford's saltyness at NLBC #66

It even got turned into a [url=http://planetskill.com/stickchucker/]flash game[/url].
I love videos of pro players getting mad, does anyone have more vids like that?
One thing I don't like is how he is just sitting opposite that guy, and he's just trying to have fun and FSP is getting all mad, it's got to be a bit off-putting to Gandi.

this is so accurate
i play smash competitively at college a little bit and can hold my own against [I]some[/I] of the best players there, but then i go home for a break or something and my friends turn on items and kick the shit out of me
Reminds me of the time when I thought I was hot shit at Soul Calibur 3 and then when my friends came over 2 of them were beating my ass despite never playing that game before.
Honestly though, I don't really play Street Fighter, but that guy didn't look [i]that[/i] random.
Haha the mind game too strong.

From what I gathered in the post-match commentary, the Ryu player was actually predictable, but using such new player techniques that it caught the other player off-guard who was trying to counter more advanced player behaviour.
The most telling thing I think, is that I couldn't really tell the difference between the two. Though this may not have been the best example. I just mash buttons really. It's fun.

I play competitive paintball at a high level, and I feel that I have a much better chance against pro players than some noobs. Because atleast with pros and other players that are at my level, I somewhat know how they will play, and what moves they are going to make, which I'm able to have a response to. but new players don't even know themselves what they are doing, and manage to pull off shit that i've would never have considered, which makes them very scary to play against :v:
I have no idea about anything in street fighter, but a couple of year ago me and a couple of friends attended an anime convention where a bunch of "pros" were playing. So my friend taught me how to be really cheesy with zangief with his jump+headbutt, down swipe and spin.
I managed to beat this japanese guy out of the tournament who got really fucking mad at me because he had practiced a lot.

pro tip: if they're getting random'd out they're not really pros.

I've seen the odd Starcraft 2 match go balls up because of that as well. Pros love to get stuck into a rhythm and it lets noobs like swoop in and succeed with some batshit bonkers strat like a battlecruiser rush or something stupid. It's a large part of why I don't like e-sports all that much, it's too predictable, and when I watch two pros go at it I can see all sorts of ways where out-of-the-meta strats would wreak untolds amount of havoc going completely unnoticed.

That's why I prefer faster-paced esports like CS:GO and TF2 because while there are meta strats that work well, because decisions need to be made in a split second sometimes they need to do something so crazy that it might actually work.

This is why I always play CS:GO with my friends. I've played since 1.3 when it was still a mod on WON servers, so I know a lot of the tricks and tactics that work on higher skilled matches. But when I play with my friends, it's a chance to go back and review what weakness my strats might have or what strats my friends come up with that might be crazy enough to work.
Why do people have to get so mad at video games
[QUOTE=Fatfatfatty;45013966]Why do people have to get so mad at video games[/QUOTE]
I have a housemate who plays Street Fighter all day in the basement. The floor above him doesn't block much sound, so when I'm sitting in the living room I listen to him rage and murder soda bottles. I think I heard him literally crying once (shortly after I heard a bottle ricochet off a wall). I just can't understand why he does this to himself. V:v:V
[QUOTE=Fatfatfatty;45013966]Why do people have to get so mad at video games[/QUOTE]
It's easy to get mad at literally /anything/ you're invested in. Sports or Esports, hell -- stocks, playground games, ect.
