Gaming Why do people spam at street fighter?

[Anakir]

There's a difference between mindless spamming and smart spamming.. well. I don't consider smart spamming as spamming at all since they know what to do. If you were Ryu against a Zangief.. its obvious you want to do as much damage from far distance as possible.

Spammers gonna spam. Nothin' can be done to stop 'em. Doesn't matter what game you play, there's always gonna be some noob who spams and thinks he's great. Street Fighter's Hadouken spammers, Gears Of War shotgun spammers, Perfect Dark Zero tumblers, etc.

All you can do is get lucky with your match making and play against a truly skilled opponents. Regretably most of the people I fight in Street Fighter tend to be dumb twelve year olds who only know the Hadouken command. I like using skill to evade everything they do and whuppin' they asses. The trick with spammers is that once you get the timing down you can evade anything they spam. After that they've got no skill so no new tricks, so it's easy to beat them.

I must be too old... At which point in history did the term 'spam' stop referring to unrequested marketing emails?

I think Joan of Arc was involved in the definition change. Hence the bbq.

Around 2005, people referred to repetitive actions to achieve a certain goal "spamming".


I hate spammers as much as everyone else, believe it or not. I just find it fun to develop strategies to get past their spammy ways. In SSFII I used T-Hawk to dive bomb any Hadouken spamming Ryu or Ken. SF4 I haven't played around with too much, I'm sure the concept is the same.

What I propose for the noobs though, is to tweak the servers to detect spammers, and start matching spammers up with other fellow spammers. This could also be extended to pair up match-quitters with other match-quitters.

My biggest issue is lag. Every match I play I suffer from lag, so it must be something I'm doing wrong or something on my end. I deal with spammers sometimes, but I tend to get around their wacky antics.

Doubt your last idea would work. Capcom tried that with MvC3, still am getting rage-quit on

Fact is, if you get beat by mindless spamming, then you suck. There is nothing "cheap" in fighting games unless the move in question is an unbeatable exploit and hadouken/shoryuken spamming is far from unbeatable.

Spam is easy win on noobs, i don't go into a match with the intention to spam but when you're up against someone who clearly now bought the game and have no experience with the series what-so-ever spam a fast, easy win. Also, they gotta learn to fend hadou-kens sometime....

 

[tajio]

SPAM + LAG = ... (>_

 

[Pippin666]

If someone lost a fight in front of a spammer they should feel more loser than the spammer.

Give douchebags and little kids free charge and no input mash buttons and they will exploit it to its full stupidness. I suggest finding a nice friend or 2 to play with who aren't dickfaces or just learn to play Pro mode.

Edit: Due to Australian wireless being worlds worst (and dumbasses who think they will get full connection games when they are on 1 bar) nearly every game that isn't local will lag so that's just something we all need to get used to sadly ;_;

 

[Snowy]

Pro is not great also, sPamming guiles are deathly boring and easy.

But there are enough M.Bison spammers on prO mode.

 

[Arnold Schwarzen]

I can understand complaints about Lite mode especially concerning charge characters. Pro mode, you can't complain but just get better and avoid the spam projectiles and counter effectively.
