So I'm really low ranked in rookie league, but I've slowly been making some progress. I just fought someone who had obviously just picked up Alex and took him online. At the end of his runback he DC'ed to save his sub-500 LP. Just whhyy? If it's this bad when there's literally nothing to lose, I can't imagine what it's like for you guys that are actually good and trying to play ranked.

See, that actually makes more sense than doing it ranked. There's been a few times I lost a close casual on a dumb mistake and immediately alt-f4'd out in disgust, since, you know, who cares, it doesn't hurt the other guy's ranking and I wanna stop looking at this dumb game.

Actually it makes even more sense in casual. If you are in a matchup with someone with potato wifi and getting wrekt with rollback what's the point of continuing. They don't get any points or anything so it's arguably in both players interests to find a better connection

I can think of a bunch of characters/games where if someone tried to walk back while blocking they'd just get tagged by a low hit into combo

there's nothing wrong with proximity guard and im not saying it shouldn't be in SFV, but it's not a 100% fundamental law that all fighting games need to have

what's a 2d fighting game without prox block and no guard button

You're still denying that guy a paltry amount of fight money and character XP.

i'm not saying it exists, i'm saying it wouldn't matter if it did if that game also had characters with threatening lows (like many do) b/c you'd just frame trap them all day until they stopped trying to hold back

although im pretty sure marvel 3 either doesn't have prox guard or it's so small it almost never comes up

Marvel might as well not even have walking so it's not a great example.

Marvel 3 has proximity guard only if the attack connects with the person blocking (which is good)

i think it's good to be able to press a button at max range and know that if they didnt already walk out of range by the time you pressed it, it will connect

this "just frame trap them all day" argument doesn't really work when you're thinking about fighting at poke range. it's like the stupid argument 3s fanatics make about parries not being safe because "if you guess wrong you get hit".

Ftr, I don't rage quit or anything. I play on ps4. Just pointing out that I think rage quitting in casual seems more justified than ranked.

Regarding bars, I'm still trying to figure out what that is a measurement of. Ping to some geographic landmark? What if you have a decent ping to San Jose but get your wifi connection gets hit with an emp bomb every time someone in your building microwaves a hot pocket? Basically, does it account for lag spikes?

I dont search 5 only because i don't want to wait 20 minutes between each match.

Even some 4's are as bad as other games 1's.
