How tf do you get a 3.5 K/D ratio?I play battlefield and the only guys that have that sit in the back of the fukking map and snipe people:francis:

Can't even move building to building because dudes are spread out sniping and shyt from the rooftops:francis:

I looked at the scoreboard once and this dude had 68 kills to 7 deaths:damn:

Then I saw that he was a medic and instantly hit this face:stopitslime:

Meanwhile, I'm a support unit posting a 23 (:mjgrin:)kill to 12 death score because it takes 8 shots to kill one damn guy:martin:

I still get in their ass with that mortar though.

This shyt is sad...

Humanity sucks if fukking sitting down playing a fukking game gets into the Olympics...

Human beings are meant to run and jump and climb and swim...

Technology should enhance that...not make us a bunch of couch potatoes playing computer games...and trying to call it sports...

It's not a fukking sport...

It's a game...

Like if you ain't out of breath and you not sweating and your muscles don't ache...you ain't an athlete...

Sports are games....when you watch football, its the same thing as watching street fighter. As a spectator it makes no difference.

I don't understand how people can't understand that playing a competitive game at a high level requires so much brain power breh. No one talks shyt about people who play chess or poker professionally..I could make the argument that Street Fighter is more stress full than both.

To me it's wrong. Sports and the Olympics is about being physical. I wouldn't put gamers in the same athletic class as Lebron, Tom Brady, Serena Williams, NHL players, Tiger Woods etc. There is no way you can dominate your sport without the physical aspect. I mean records will literally be shattered every year. What prevents people from breaking Brett Favre and Cal Ripken's Iron man records? It's not all mental.

The closest you can get to this is NASCAR. You don't have to be in shape but at the same time driving 200 MPH and being good does take skill and training but unlike Video Games there is still a serious risk of death and injuries in accidents so it's still risky.

No isn't.

You can't compare Lebron to some Asian kid in China with fast thumbs. You can't compare sitting in a NFL/NBA stadium to hovering around two people in a arcade. It is not the same for the simple fact of the training and lack of physicality

Sports and the Olympics are about watching human perfection. The perfect synergy of mind and body. Watching somebody that dedicated their life to peak human perfection. The physique, the athleticism, the intelligence of an athlete...it is just you and your body and your mind...

Video Games are not that...

Video Games are not sports...

Like Video Games is not even chess or poker. Poker and Chess involves high levels of math and shyt...I played Poker for many years...that's a whole different level than video games...you gambling money, you doing math, you reading body language...all that shyt and I wouldn't say poker is a sport...

Nascar is not even a sport to me...

Video Games involves...muscle memory...and basic strategy...nikka I could sit around all day and get good a damn video game...

I can't get good as Lebron at basketball. I can't good as a Grand Master Chess Champion. I can't get good as peak Phil Ivey in poker.

I am pretty sure I can play CS all day and get super dope at it...

Just like I got really dope at Marvel vs. Capcom...nikka it wasn't some hard ass shyt...like I was out here stressing...

Basketball though...shyt is hard...I wanted to be like Allen Iverson...

Video Games ain't...

I watch FGC and I understand the time it takes to be as good as those players.
However, I just feel like the Olympics should represent the peak of human physical ability.
Also I think competitions like chess and poker can kick rock in the olympics.
Since Chess and Poker are in then video games have to make it in at some point

As activities no games and sports arent the same...as a spectator they ARE the same...there are e-sports arenas in Korea, breh.

That's the thing...no you can't just sit around and "get good" at a video game. If you think that Phil Ivey or Bobby Fisher didn't take HOURS and days of training ALONG WITH their god given talent for the games then you are mistaken.

I want you to play SFV for a month...everyday. And I'd like to see if you crack to top 200. :sas2:

Being "good" and being professional level are totally different things. I'm sure most nikkas on here know how to hoop or even play football. But a very select few could ever even DREAM of playing at the professional level...same for professional games.

Basic Strategy :laff: sure breh. Lemme know how well you do against a Chun-Li player who knows all the frame data, can read all of your moves and knows the character you pick in and out...you wouldn't stand a chance in hell. Combine that with the ability to punish whiffs, know the strategies for your character vs another, understand the systems within the game as well as the play style of your opponent. Breh...I can tell you've never played a head to head fighter or shooter at even a semi-competitive level.

I'm not even saying it belongs in the Olympics (which I already said is for physical games) but to say that it takes no skill or focus or training is simply insane.
