Infiltration is good at making me root for the other player. I've never wanted PR Balrog to win more than when they faced off at Evo. He's this insurmountable obstacle and I think he's great in that he brings out the best in his opponents.

gently caress character loyalty, infiltration is legit. That was a very hype finals, but the way the match flowed made me root for kbrad since infiltration seemed to reset the bracket very easily. Good poo poo.

Manoueverable posted:Yeah, as good as he is Infiltration is like Chris G in Marvel for me Chris G is a loser who only knows how to play like two match ups and doesn't give a poo poo about anything. Infiltration is a guy who subtely knows how to work up a crowd, has a lot of experience as seen by the absurd amount of characters and games he can play, and is just a plain nice guy who compliments those who best him instead of being all salty and going on tirades on Twitter. Apples and oranges if I ever saw a case.

Pretty sure he was being sarcastic, what with the exclamation point and all. The post I couldn't tell about early was the one that made a remark about "the horrors of nationalism." It seemed dramatic enough to be a joke and I hope it is, but I don't know. After a decade here I'm still blindsided by some goonpinions.

Not an ounce of sarcasm, gently caress those characters. If you think Jayce and K-Brad were the underdogs in their matches with the internationals you're a nut.

Infiltration was a lot of fun to watch at SCR both while he was playing and crowd monstering. I'll agree that his Akuma play is boring as hell to watch, but I honestly wanted to see his Chun take it over Cammy. That said I was rooting for Wao, Kayce, and pretty much everyone else he took out in losers over him.

While I don't have as strong an opinion on the characters mentioned, I agree that there's no reason to think of Jayce and KBrad as underdogs. They're both very capable players. In the end it's silly to think of anyone in top 8 at a tournament that big as an underdog but against dudes like Infiltration, players certainly do become inaccurately branded as such.

I don't exclusively root for underdogs though, and no one should? What are you even talking about. Jayce is a young player who we've seen grow as a player on the west coast for years, and is generally part of the "next generation". Who the gently caress is Wao? A foreign player who's been around for a while but no one gave a poo poo about until he started doing decently well in Japan with a moderately obscure character. Maybe I "hate street fighter" for rooting for Jayce over Wao, but if you rooted for Wao you're probably a Bad Person In General.

I know it's the cool thing to hate on ChrisG, but this is the dumbest burn I've read about him. His Sakura has run through the entire roster. I haven't been able to consistently catch the usual weeklies and majors this year so far, but even if he hasn't done as well as he used to, his Sakura has run through a lot of opponents. Getting back to the SCR final, I fell asleep watching Infiltration resetting the match. Watching him play Chun Li was boring.

Anyway, I have no disdain for anyone. I just don't favour someone, because they come from a certain country or region. I'm not gonna root for a cammy or viper. Assuming someone is sarcastic or has disdain for a group of people, because they don't agree with you is hosed up.

Obviously there are people from outside of the USA. Identifying as "not from [place x]" in any case simply seems odd to me. What does the region/country matter in the case of Street Fighter? I know I've expressed in the past that it's somewhat of a letdown when top 8 is heavily stacked with players from one region (be it Japan, Korea, SoCal, NorCal, NY, etc.) because they're matches I've seen many times already. You appear to be against any players at all from all of the United States, regardless of situation, which I do not understand.

Wao could be some dude named Bilbo from the midwest who plays anyone but Cammy/Viper/Fuerte and I'd root for him over Jayce. You (Breet) keep talking about player backgrounds and nationality like I'm supposed to care about that instead of the game. You can flip the nationalities if you want or say one or both of them is from the moon, maybe one is a girl and the other player is a dolphin, it doesn't matter, I'm consistent. Viper hijinks and Cammy jumping at Chun two hundred times in two sets is smart AE2012 play but it's boring Street Fighter.

I watch people play the game for the stories, the moments, the connections, etc. If I just cared about the play, I would... play the game? Acting elitist and saying it's "only about the quality of the play" is one thing I'll never understand.

Since most of you guys are from the USA, "not-american" is a decent catch-all when your specific nationality doesn't matter. Plus, I don't think he's against all Americans, it's just that as a foreigner, there isn't a regional connection like the one Brett mentioned. (although I'll say Americans aren't the most popular people outside of America...)

That's literally all there is to it, you're overreading things. It was a legitimate misunderstanding that may be due to the fact that Doggboat is non-American. In English parlance saying "I don't care for American players" reads like "I think American players are overrated" not "nationalism doesn't enter my appreciation of the FGC."

Mio Bison posted:Cammy jumping at Chun two hundred times in two sets is smart AE2012 play but it's boring Street Fighter. Personally I thought it was alright to watch because I can't remember ever seeing Cammy and Chun that high up in a tournament. There were a great deal of surprises and it went down to the wire. It was certainly better than the Oni vs Fuerte match earlier. That was super scattershot. I really got the impression that both of them had very little knowledge of the matchup and were trying to overwhelm each other. It was entertaining, but in a comedic fashion. I'd love to see a first to ten of an odd match like that to see how they have adapted by the end.
