Ignorance Is NOT Bliss!?!?

So I'm there playing Balrog (Shock Horror) and meet another everyday Chun Player.

Had a nice few sessions, chap was clearly not totally to grips with the Chun but knows enough to do relatively alright and could beat me with some effort if they stayed focussed.

After about 15 games the message icon pops up and low and behold (seeing as I was plastering them 13-2'ish) I get a pretty expected "Ugh this matchup is so hard for Chun-Li" comment which always deserves a ":rolleyes:", so in a polite way I explain the matchup is actually in Chun's Favour (Think it's 6-4 Chun isn't it?) and they proceed with comments like "Yeah, right..."

Then s/he made a lolsome statement like "That statistic only applies to Japanese players!" to which I just gave up.



So, without breaking into another Hatemail thread, do you still get people like this? I expect it a lot as SF4 PC will likely die out soon and those who do pick it up often try to learn from scratch so you've plenty of fresh meat floating about but for you guys expanding off to SUPER and whatnot, do you still get people just blatantly unaware of even basic info and does it get on your tits when you meet them?

I used to be very tolerant but I'm starting to get a little frustrated with it

Yup. You're always going to run into people who don't check out forums and just play casual!

Guile player recently told me (playing Honda) that I was only winning cause I used a top tier character and that he's easy to win with. I guess he missed the part where Guile is not only above Honda in the current tier list, but also has a fairly easy time against Honda. This guy just sucked serious ass. I thought it was funny anyway :P

Here's an actual exchange of messages I had after a BBCS match about a week and a half ago:

Idiots always think Noel and Tager are OP because they are scrub-killers, especially Tager.

It's perfectly OK to say that you hate matchup X-Y though.

Just because it's theoretically in your favour doesn't mean it can't still make for the most tense/frustrating games.

Tiers change pretty regularly though.

Deejays favourable/unfavourable match-ups are all over the bloody place between tiers.

Someone could swear blind he was terrible versus character X, be "wrong" at the time, and later turn out to be "right".

There's a kind of nebulous degree of correctness in the whole match-up thing.
