Please don't play Tag online if you can't do tag combos

[KingGhidorah]

I know it might sound sick (Don't act like some of you sick fuckers dont feel the same way) but I kind of like getting hate mail. Gets my adrenaline going and makes the second time I face that same opponent even more exciting because now you have another incentive to win the match. You know your opponent will now try to prove what was stated in the message was spot on so there going to do there best to win the second time around just so they can send you another message.

Heh, naturally. I'm a sadist in nature, not going to deny it and every time I get those kinds of messages it makes me wanna punish them more to get more hatred. It's too good unf.~

I note how nowhere in op does he say he WASN'T spamming. Win or lose, nobody likes a spammer.

First off, spamming is not against the game's rules nor fighting game etiquette. But more importantly, if I spam, you know what I'm going to do, so stop me. Spammers are the best opponents to fight. If your opponent keeps doing the same thing, it's very easy to counter it. If you keep falling for the same thing again and again and again, you deserve to lose. I DON'T spam most of the time because I'm afraid my opponent is going to catch on and turn the match around with one good counter, which can very well happen at any moment.

But anyway, I was accused of "spamming" because my tag combos involve repeating the same loop as many times as possible until the opponent is too low, then I finish with something else. To the amateur player, this looks like "spamming", despite the fact that I use many different setups and launchers to start this combo.

Also I just like to use my two mains at once, but I don't do tag combos. No real need for it.

You say that until you go up against someone who is doing 200+ damage tag combos to you. But to fair... yes, by the literally meaning of the word... you don't NEED tag combos. But players like me will make you wish you had them. But if you don't want to do them, that's totally cool by me. I'm not here to call out people for not doing them. I'm just saying don't get mad when someone does them to you. Doing Tag combos in Tag mode is just playing the game the way it's meant to be played.

People worry way to much about what there opponents think.

Enjoy the game. When people say X is cheap I tell them they should open a salt mine.

The problem is that people get mad and then avoid me should my name pop up again. It already takes long enough to find matches as is.

This is most definitely true. But I should've clarified that it's not necessarily the hate mail part that bugs me. It's just the part where it affects my ability to play the game because people exit when they see my name and then I have wait another 5-10 minutes to finally find another match, only to be someone else who rages before the match even starts because they don't understand that I'm just playing the game the way it's meant to be played.

Their win animation makes it look like Rachel is checking Momiji out.

Well, by the looks of Momiji, I don't blame Rachel at all xD

On PS3 or xbox? I get tag throwdowns once about every 15-30 seconds on the PS3. I think mostly CF users though considering I usually only see the ninjas. (I actually had a CF person try to ragequit probably thinking that wouldn't count as a loss)

There is a need for tag combos when they can net you damage and give you guaranteed combos. Also..how is he spamming when he is just applying his gameplan. Dud I may as well get called a spammer since I love using machine gun kicks with zack and etc. I'm not going to do stupid shit like airwalk or his unblockable all because I'm not trying to be cool. I'm trying to win and mindfuck you at the same time, since zack is all mix up and damage.

Then just admit you are spamming cause you wanna win, but don't sit there trying to make excuses for it, trying to argue its not spamming, that's just sad.

1). "Repeating the same loop". That's spamming. Just own up to it, dont try to make excuses for it.
2). I can get afford to not need tag combos due to using heavy hitters like Leon. I can get a tag combos worth in about 3 or 4 regular attacks lol.

I'm not admitting anything since I'm just using my head. i'm not spamming with Zack dude. I'm using a skill that keeps my opponent on their toes and make them make mistakes. If I was spamming then I wouldn't be baiting out low holds out of stun or holding out of stun and punishing them with throws. You also don't get what spamming me or what a spammer is. A spammer is someone just doing something over and over again and thinking it's unstoppable and will make them godlike. They have no knowledge of the frames, start up, or etc.

sigh...five bucks say you lose to a Zack spamming machine kicks and doing airwalk.

1, speaking generally since typically, spammers argue till they are blue im the face that theu don't spam.

2. Even if I lost.to a spammer...what difference would that make? Would my loss magically make them not a spammer? That seems to be the usual logic...

3. My point was simply "don't wonder why you are called a spammer when you spam.". I hate when people say "this guy called me a spammer" as if that alone gives sympathy, and all I can say is "well, are you?", like what happened with op.

Again, not accusing anyone of anything. Just saying in general, if you spam, own up to it instead of making excuses. If you don't, then you wouldn't even be accused of it.

1. In my experience they send stupid hatemail to you.
2. No you losing to them is pretty much on you for not figuring them out if they were doing dragon kicks the whole time with JL you should have been crouching/ducking it.
3.uh.. okay i suppose.

Funny...the people who complain about spammers are usually the ones who can't pull off the combos themselves.

I would love to pull off half of those tag combos even if I were to be labeled as a "spammer". Some people don't appreciate the work that goes into them (including designing the combos themselves).

Okay, I let you all have your fun but you're going into a tired scrubby argument loop. Locked.
