^ This x1000.Because you're playing the wrong players.
/thread
You clearly haven't played enough. I've seen people get death threats over those games.
Try it again against someone with a top tier team with Peacock, Fillia or Fukua and learn why solo-Bella hasn't been viable for some time now.
I noticed this even on here. How common is it and how bad does it get because I'm almost excited to play online in a few months.in DOA if you simply pick a character someone disagrees with you're going to hear about it.
Oh Jesus yes. I chalk it up more to mk having more of the douchebro demographic though. Mk9 had the worst community I've ever seen.I don't think it's really just DOA, I've actually gotten much worse hatemail on MK9 online at a more frequent rate.
Might be because both their netcodes are bad lol.
It's bad when someone tells me Momiji is cheap...
Just.....the way you worded that speaks literal volumes...I see this a lot with foreigners... Never been messaged like this by another Japanese player though.
This game is in truth probably the only 3D fighter that I really have a decent amount of experience with. But the community, especially online seems incredibly childish, and hateful. I mostly have a 2D fighting game background.
I've noticed a big difference in the community in DOA. About 75% of players you come across get incredibly salty about different play styles. The majority, will begin to insult you, send you hate mail, bitch and moan the entire time you start playing them. Example of what they will say.
- You spam the same moves
- You run away
- All you do is throw!
- You just keep doing that same thing into that same combo
- You are terrible, learn how to play the game right!
And if they happen to take a round for whatever reason, they will usually start attacking your character repeatedly while they are down in such an angry fashion! lol
This isn't just something I come across every once in a while, it's something I see all the time. Granted I play some Hayate, and Ein a good bit, and they are somewhat iffy up close, and their best tools are in mid range. Usually I play up close with Hitomi, unless they are a Speedster like Kasumi, or Christie. Then I'll most likely start spacing with her 236P, 46P, 236K, 6H+K, and 2P+K.
Now I know there is the occasional salty talk, or hate mail in other fighters, like Street Fighter, UMVC3, GG, Smash, BB, Uniel, KOF, etc. But it just feels ridiculous, to constantly be insulted for trying to play my characters the right way. Feels like the only way people will be happy, is if both players are at point blank range, and throwing out attacks at random and praying.
So what makes the DOA community so salty? Compared to others fighting game series? And how do you explain to someone that with a slower character, I'm not going to be able to effectively rush down someone like Christie and live to tell about it, with someone like Ein.
1. This answer is easy The F**king Netcode sucks and also these people aren't apart or understand the Fighting game community imagine playing someone who has never picked up a fighting in their life these are the people your running into.
2. The problem with players saying you are spamming can never Explain what in "specific" you spamming like Hitomi's 6K,2K all they say is stop spamming Go ahead and ask them what am i spamming i bet you 99% they can't even explain.
3. The online community believes in a Honor Code a made up book that doesn't exist about Fighting Games they want you to play to their expectations you know Fair The Right way .
4. The Doa community is mostly casual So none of these players will ever understand you until they want to get better for themselves, the community just get upstarted because of a lack of understanding the game which is alot.
5. The "Online" community for Dead or Alive can explain everything there is about DLC but can't even explain in Detail why they lost to you or "Frame Data" which is sad.
I must be the lucky one in this community i never get alot of hate mail like once every 6 months, i get GGs every time i step online Dominating players as usual i guess im playing the game the right way go figure.
Just play with Friends and you'll be fine!!
It ain't just scrubs who get salty though. The problems bigger than just that, though it is a factor.IMHO, even if the netcode was "good" people would still get salty because some players either don't like to get beat or refuse to admit that they're getting beat legitimately and think that you're just cheating them. Like was mentioned earlier, it's this pathetic culture of entitlement that people are raised in where everyone is considered a "winner" and you're never expected to experience a loss. It's a huge issue with Western society. Everyone feels like they deserve something they haven't earned and throw a hissy-fit tantrum when they don't get their way like a spoiled brat.
This "Honor Code" you speak of is the Code of the Scrub. David Sirlin goes into a decent amount of detail with regards to it. Scrubs online are an annoying piece of filth, but offline scrubs are even more sad IMO because I can see their manner and mannerisms firsthand and it's disgusting.
More people need to channel their saltiness into more productive energy such as figuring out why something works and why something doesn't.
Now this is something I get really pissed about. I have to hear it every time I go against randoms online:This "Honor Code" you speak of is the Code of the Scrub.
And this is why I think this is the quote of the day.More people need to channel their saltiness into more productive energy such as figuring out why something works and why something doesn't.
Which leads to another big problem.More people need to channel their saltiness into more productive energy such as figuring out why something works and why something doesn't.
I can't imagine behavior like this happens offline though...
Like LowTierGod right? lol!Ironically, if it was a well-known player being said massive douchebag, they'd treat them like God's gift to the FGC and condone it.
This says it all.IMHO, even if the netcode was "good" people would still get salty because some players either don't like to get beat or refuse to admit that they're getting beat legitimately and think that you're just cheating them.
