Because he honestly won't. Everyone tries to teach him but he doesn't wan't to hear it and instead continues to complain about the same damn stuff over and over again on every single thread, looks down upon people who are actually trying to learn the game because they do not follow his own set of rules, loves to talk about how he constantly holds people online "which are all probably just bad players" yet if he fails to hold them, complains they are fighting in a boring way that's "cheap", creates pointless rant threads about the same thing he usually complains about in every topic, and honestly just doesn't care about competitive play in general. If you don't play exactly how he wants you to, he will refuse to play against you. And worst of all, if you ask for some combo's he will brush you off as a fool. Honestly, I begin to wonder why he would join a forum that specifies in the competitive aspect of DOA if he doesn't even believe DOA should be competitive.
Way to make shit up lol.
For those who don't know me, allow me to clarify, rather than having to rely on posts like the above skewing things.
1) I don't combo/juggle/do guaranteed damage, because I like the challenge of working for each hit. Hence my playstyle of focusing on single strikes, grapples, and holds. I'm perfectly aware and capable of performing them, I just don't, as its not my playstyle.
2) I don't care if I win or lose, so long as I get to play.
3) I do consider guaranteed damage to be cheap, which is a viewpoint that comes from working for each hit for so long. Not cheap as in "broken" but cheap as in "requires a lot less effort". Which is the entire point of guaranteed damage, so its not like i'm wrong on that.
4) I find guaranteed damage boring, because I/the opponent don't get to play or fight back during those moments, and it doesn't help that they don't even look cool.
5) I do have a bad habit of venting when a) people try to talk crap after getting a win, and b) When I'm frustrated due to boredom resulting from like...7 opponents in a row all doing the exact same pattern.
6) I don't care about competitive play, this is true. Mostly because the community sucks. I'll get competitive as hell with friends, lol.
7) I don't talk down to people (Though I do constantly get talked down to for not doing/endorsing guaranteed damage, go figure...)
8) I've never brushed someone off as a fool (that's your schtick, not mine), all I've done is suggest more fundamental alternatives. Like when someone is having troubled doing a combo, I suggest a different strategy. As for that sonya, way back when, that was me not saying not to learn combos, but not to be a copycat. Lack of variety is a big issue with online.
9) Its not that I don't believe DOA should be competitive, its that unless the competitive community stops acting like self entitled shits, theres no POINT. Like I had no issue with the actual gameplay changes in DOA5 (I can adapt just fine), I just dreaded the type of people it would bring in. People who throw tantrums when rushdown doesn't work, claim you suck for countering them when they just do one thing over and over, etc. Aka, the competitive community (which came to be true.)
Its funny. I get accused of saying everyone has to play by MY rules (which has never happened), and yet I'm constantly getting harassed for not playing by yours. Oh, the irony.
