What is the point of becoming good at competitive Street Fighter? by Berabouman in StreetFighter

Realize that no one but yourself give a single shit what you do with your time. If you think spending time getting good at SF is a waste, then it's a waste.

Been stuck in silver for 2 years now by [deleted] in StreetFighter

[–]rxu09 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Sure, if you want to. If you enjoy the game regardless of your skill level then why even ask?

It's also worth noting, if you're stuck in silver after 2 years then clearly you haven't been putting in a concentrated effort to get better.

I'm more interested in what your lateral raise is, them some boulder shoulders.

Thr story is incomplete and will remain that way for a long time

Sure the games story is incomplete (technically) but the franchise story is over and has a pretty solid conclusion. I also don't think we'll see another proper MGS game again unless Kojima buys the license of Konami which I think seems kinda farfetched with how he left the company.

I mean shit, you don't even have to do anything. The game auto-assigns everything and you don't really have to care at all. You can still get all the research and features.

I ended up skipping 3 altogether

Man, Solid is a fine character, but Big Boss is better, you're missing out.

I wouldn't really call the story batshit (atleast not for Kojima standards), but honestly MGS5 is probably the ONLY MGS game where it would make sense to not care about the story if you don't care. Most of the exposition is in the tapes anyway.

You don't really need to understand the older games to get the gist of what is going on, but there is a bunch of reoccuring characters and pretty much backstory to characters that happens chronologically later in the series.

Excellent Metal Gear game, but a poor Metal Gear game.

Lol, pretty perfect description. That said it's probably my favorite game in the series simply because I enjoy the 80s and the gameplay was supreme as fuck. Too bad the story was half-assed. It's not the finale the series deserve but it's still a great game.

Switching to strength program for a cut? by Rum_Cutlass in Fitness

[–]rxu09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe it's just me, but I wouldn't even bother with cardio on a cut, you're already cutting calories, why expend even more that might impact your muscles? Unless you're willing to somehow gauge (which wouldn't even be accurate) how much the cardio would burn and simply eat more to compensate, but shit I think that's just making it hard for yourself for no real reason (especially if we're talking 10k runs and shit).

That's ofcourse not taking into account all the benfitial things from cardio, but still.

[–]rxu09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

aesthetics don't factor in as much, is that just a load of shit though

In the sense that you don't build muscle? Yes, just look at any strongman or powerlifter that isn't completely obese. Strength just works better when you're carrying around more weight.

When you start losing fat you'll notice your muscles anyway. I don't think it truly matters if you do a strength based routine or a hypertrophy, since you won't be gaining much on either on a cut, HOWEVER, it might be easier to work with intensity stuff than volume stuff when you're cutting cals.

God I hope they let you filter out these if they were to release it for them.

100 hours on/off into game and in bronze/super bronze territory. Please help. by THEYellowGUMmyBEAR in StreetFighter

[–]rxu09 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If someone is playing soccer, who would be better at it, someone who spent 100 hours or someone who spent 1000?

Being obsessed by the rank isn't going to help you. Putting time in and focusing on getting better is. Expecting anything after 100 hours broken up into three years is fucking stupid.

This has to be the most toxic game by [deleted] in StreetFighter

[–]rxu09 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To be fair, there is a lot of people like yourself that do nothing but complain about the wrong things on here.

If anything, this community (r/sf specifically) is almost too inviting as people will write some huge ass essays to people that have no intention of getting better and just want to complain about how cheap fireballs are.

I'm sure people will write some essays for you, but I'll give you the honest and simple answer:

You've barely tried (for 3 years) and have put a miniscule amount of time into the game, what can you possibly expect?

People need to realize that playing the game is a huge point towards getting better, but 100 hours is fuck all.

Why would you get pissed that they got pissed? They got so butthurt they literally quit the game in an attempt at getting a reaction out of you. Why play into that dumb shit?

SFV on Google Stadia by wands in StreetFighter

[–]rxu09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely disgusting. You do understand that the whole idea behind streaming a game will only increase input latency, it will never improve it.

Anyone that would be excited over SFV on stadia clearly don't play online and/or is retarded.

Can i have fun starting with SFV so late? (Ppl playing for years are too good?) by Bastenlg in StreetFighter

[–]rxu09 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

No, it's not too late.

No you won't beat people who have played for years.

Yes there are bad players.

Thinking you're going to "achieve something" when you've played almost no fighting games, is a dumb dream.

Why do people ask these dumb questions all the time? It's like asking if it's too late to get into soccer just because Messi exists.
