In the mind of these people, probably. Sometime people master good timing instead of epic combos.

oh, ok....in most fighting games that's all you need: timing...it's great to know the epic combos when you wanna finish someone off in style, but knowing the basics and having timing will get you more Ws...in my case, growing up, save you more quarters lol...

He was jumping around with no sense of purpose. Any competitive gamer with an ounce of sense changes his gameplan, plays more reactive, and MERKS that dude. Like at 5:22, when the commentator yells "ULTRA!", he was saying FSP should stop trying to be cute by trying to string together hits and just hit him with a ultra combo (a much simpler move to hit button-wise and more powerful). But FSP couldn't adjust.

In retrospect, the next guy who stepped up adjusted quickly and apparently won a perfect round.

The way he kept killing him softly with the cross up (kick sweep).

That's the only way I ever beat "Elite" players on SF and MVC, guys get so caught up in trying to get off crazy combos and I'll just pick away at them.

I once got into an actual fight once playing tekken 3 at the Arcade back in the day, cause a guy spent the whole time trying to bait me into elaborate combo's and I'd run in and grab.

Every time I got one off the croud would :lolbron:
And he would:birdman:
Then I hit him with the :youngsabo:

I do that the whole match, and as the animation starts on the winning grab/takedown, I step back :smugbiden:

The crowd :mindblown:

Dude get's:demonic:

and lunges at me, but the crowd grabbed him and told him to :camby:

My proudest public gaming moment.

i dont think the cat was a noob...he might not have been known to the commentators, in the fighting comp community, or the guy he was going against, but you could tell by some of the stuff he was doing he had some experience with sf in general, and the game specifically...

TORONTO!
:laugh: that dude was hella random. I laughed my ass off still but I lose to scrubs every now and again sometimes too. the randomness is hard to gauge and it throws you off your game. being unpredictable is a positive in some circumstances but honestly, the DSP cat shoulda been more patient - your in a tournament with money on the line ffs
