This article I did in my time in forero Street Fighter.cl (good times, great friends, really strange). For this occasion article was renovated completely, remove any content that may be offensive and di arrangements here and there, especially in regard to spelling, writing and explanation (I'm not so good at explaining, I give a thousand times).
Without wasting time, the article:
Introduction:
is easy to see and find the negative side of things On the positive side. It is very easy to criticize passionately to be moderate and seek a middle ground. It is also very easy to hate if the object Hate is something that is not worthwhile to spend energy.
The theme is developed on "Ways to hate a character in a game." With coldness and distance may seem stupid, but in fact all those who play or played video games have ever hated (or hate) something in their lives that relates to virtual entertainment. No matter what it is or if it was worth it or not. Nor is it matter of getting moralistic, it is better to have a dislike to something fictional about something real as it could be a person, a country, race, sports club, a religion and so many examples and so on.
Returning to the subject we focus on and fighting games in Street Fighter. We'll discuss the most common ways to hate and not so common to the ridiculous.
This is an article of personal development, and fully accepting the discrepancies, advice and constructive criticism.
What I mean by hate?
staff after "hate" understand it as an extreme reluctance to go beyond logical limits, wish all evil as possible to the object or person. To me there is no "hate light," "hate media" and "hate strong ". If a person I do not like because I do not like and ready, if you envy and resentment I have someone for you I have envy and resentment, but if you hate the situation I have change and making at various times of day, with just hearing his name, wrap me feeling upset. Still hate the term is now used extensively and I do not take it as it is suitable dictionaries say, but in colloquial, for example when we say "Those two hate each other, playing on the same soccer team and occupy the same position in the defense" when they are just competing and try to earn a spot on the team, and it is obvious that at some point you feel like one its rival has a setback or a bad chance to take it. Entering
more on the subject, there are many characters Street Fighter and many of them highly symbolic. Among those characters are popular with all rules, the popular media (those recognized but did not occupy a large role or a few would complain about not being included in a game), and undetected without being known or unknown, and low popularity, those unknown to the general level. Among these groups are loved and hated characters, but what leads to "hate" character?
try to find some logical reason and rational arguments such resentment towards these characters. No more start with ...
Item 1: Heads Final (Final Bosses)
usually end bosses are hated if your priorities are extremely difficult and exorbitant. Today a boss has to have a very high difficulty, too high, and this something that began to take shape with force (if my experience serves me correctly) since the middle of the 90's, at least in the field of struggle. Of course there were difficult bosses as Sagat in SF 1 (1987), but in the 80's games had a very high difficulty was gradually dropping, perhaps to attract a wider audience.
That hate a boss is the most logical and understandable that there is, as these characters boast exageradÃsimas priorities such great damage, defense, special moves, super moves, combos, etc. They always have the perfect answer to counter deadliest possible, leading to terrible frustration that a simple combo resulting in a terrible injury.
we In Street Fighter, removing Sagat and Bison SF I SF II WW (which also Balrog, Vega and Sagat are difficult), Akuma (when is secret and in SSF II X, SFA and SF III 2nd), Shin Akuma, Gill and Seth.
In short, the bosses "do and should" be difficult (and this is not exclusive fighting games), higher than the rest of the squad even without reaching ludicrous levels as in other games that I will not name to avoid unnecessary inconveniences (if so). They are the last obstacle from the road and grace is that as a last challenge, you should work harder on the account.
There are players who hate these people and others who simply are beaten and they do not move a nerve, either because the final boss has more charisma than difficulty, because I just knew in advance what they came from or because they are accustomed.
Conclusion: Final heads will always be an object of hatred among the bulk spectrum of players, it is common to be frustrated repeatedly made porridge after a fight with a calm and precision of a Tibetan monk, and one or two mistakes is payable with the defeat. In my personal experience, I have often punched the control or overthrow me want to kick the screen, for all the work I was doing was going down the drain in a matter of seconds. I can say that the final boss more headaches that I was given was Akuma SSF II X, and also his alter ego, SFZ 2 Shin Akuma in Alpha. Of course, at the highest level of difficulty, yet the constant tantrums in me were losing by a little more than a couple of shots.
Point 2: The powerful fighter or Top Tier
in ALL fighting games will always be a character or more protruding from the rest, at least for a penny, but there's always one that will be considered the "best" (either due to their versatility, priority, management, etc) as another post for the adjective "poor" (between quotation marks for emphasis and not universal terms). A simple example: in the SF series II the ultimate character stronger Sagat probably, than any SF II is lower than its level in SSF II X, although like every fighter does not have it easy against the likes of Ryu, Dhalsim or Vega (each has its pros and cons to the rest, and so on, but not indicate that such a person is driving a certain victory over another).
These characters with good priorities and versatility can be handled without excessive devotion, and the fact that many people choose to "X character" and abuse their power constantly twitching can get some players, and more to be defeated .
Maybe we have some reason to offend? Many call themselves "cheap" (cheap, low caliber, and that is one of the milder descriptions can be found) the strategy of these characters, such as SF II Sagat frying based on Tiger Shot his rivals to victory. Well, first of all it is understandable to some extent the irritation of a player to lose the same way over and over again, but on the other side you have to make self-criticism and see what is done to counter that strategy or simply repeat the same scheme and is beaten constantly. Arturo "Sabin" Sanchez, U.S. land renowned player said a truth so simple as telling a result of his trip to Japan to be measured against players from that country. In short words Sabin said the Japanese player will repeat the same tactical scheme as long as it is effective and give the desired result, no matter what the battle is becomes unexciting, boring, monotonous and Youtube with comments disqualify him aggressive and arrogant nature. If they have to cover 90 times, they will, if they have to throw 90 rounds one after another, they will, if they have to use one and the same tactic again (if they exist), they will, and if one of these were opened the moment to show off a bit, so will. Something very different from what we live on this land, where it seems that prioritize "lucirnos" and drop us praise from all over to feed our ego. It seems that Japan is looking for practicality and effectiveness, and here is looking fireworks, flowers, sugar and many colors. Although we should not be too hard and stoop so low to compare with players from other countries just because he plays better in a videogame, but it is undeniable that in Japan the amount of information disseminated, is contained and managed is almost endless, with thousands and thousands of guides obsessively complete tutorial DVDs and magazines the most varied and specialized sites on the web, make that great fuel to burn.
is undeniable that recognition is a player who plays a character with a high difficulty curve such as Cammy and Fei Long by others as Vega and Chun Li in SSF II X, but all in all the decision is the player assumes that if you choose a character "weak" as Remy in SF III 3S, will not get many results to beasts like Ken or Chun Li, but even with training may be quite strong and debug your style, though honestly it is difficult to see in a championship final.
There are players who exploit the full potential of these fighters, as mentioned cases of SSF II X and SF III 3S Akuma and Zangief in SFA 3, Sagat and Rufus in SF IV, and i do not see it as something that indicates a "lower ability." On the other hand there are other players that focus on the "ugly ducklings" (Dan, R. Mika, Twelve, Q, Remy, El Fuerte, Hakan, and any character depending on the game). In short it is only a matter choice and the player's goal.
If I want to reach highest levels of tournament play that character use "wimp" and never get the desired result, will have two options: train or switch characters more, because as we sometimes do not everything can and recognize their own limits is a sign of humility, not weakness.
Each game has its own balance and by the way, there will be lions and ants, but for something the Bible teaches us through history the boy David who defeated Goliath.
Personally I see this point with no meaning or validity, not really worth it. Returning to the example of Sagat in SF II, it is known that Tiger Shot is your best weapon, why should the players who use it wisely forgo using one of their best weapons? With what motive? By what right? Why and for what?
I myself hate to strong characters, in fact the growing hate watching videos on Youtube where the weak lost due to the strong 98% of the time. I realized that I was not alone, there were many people who felt the same and others went further: insulting the character and even the winning player (what fault is it last?).
no doubt influence the Tier List rather in the minds of the people, and the fact see X character so well positioned and that our favorite character is in the basement of the table we are sorry, especially when we see that lose using our favorite character, and much more when we are not alone in losing using the same character. A strong factor is the player's attachment to the character who saves baby and affection, they often do not sit well miss your favorite character or have the "misfortune" of being a "Low Tier", "Bottom Tier" and to even "Mid Tier". Often attachment for our favorite characters is so large and exaggerated that we never settle for anything if your character is not among the best in the game. A dangerous fad is repeated over and over.
There are enough people who complained about the limited potential for Guile in SF IV (very much loved and charismatic character of course), and when he improved enough to SSF IV everything returned to normal (apparently, but since everything is relative is 100% sure there were players who complained to consider improvements were excessive). Now with SSF IV: AE and "superiority" Yun and Yang (which is not signed or confirmed), many are on fire with those two charismatic characters, especially when Guile, Ryu, Dudley and many others can not cope.
Well, is not the end of the world. In every game there will be strong and weak characters, is the point of fighting games. It is impossible that there is a game whose Tier List indicates that everyone in matching a 5 / 5 (ie 50% chance of winning). The Tier List does not reflect reality perfectly but usually quite accurate, especially with some games where he is without question the potential of characters and the weakness of others. As much as I like to consider the Tier List at this point, it was inevitable.
To understand a bit more this point, or fail in trying to explain it, is just fine supplemental reading Article "mental construction" of eMraistlin .
Point 3: Prominence
Here the degree of fanaticism can be greater than the above mentioned, and not much to see if a character is strong or not, but its role in history. It is essential that every story has its heroes, its villains, its characters, secondary characters, and characters such as lighter weight material (for example, Ken's wife, Eliza, or Sakura's friend, Kei.) In Street Fighter have a very dark history in the sense that nothing is known about many events of great significance. Alpha Series only escape this.
Some confuse a character and pigeonholed in the role of hero when in fact the image of the series, icon, logo but they are no actors or walk every two by two saving the world. Ryu is a character that some consider him the hero of the series, and this label is actually false: he is the protagonist of Street Fighter, only one of many players (as Chun Li, Guile, Cammy, M. Bison) and if we talk protagonist, can only be valid in SF I. Street Fighter involves many characters in its history, and individual story lines, but since Ryu is the image of the series or almost always appears first in the template character selection (the latter, a sign usually identifying the protagonists in fighting games). It remains to check the argument of the games to see that Ryu is the protagonist who many believe to see: one who saves the day or the future world depends. The only merit Ryu remarkable in the history of the series is to win the tournament in SF I still just a young inexperienced (if not win it fair and square but at least I get to the final). If we take the fact that it is THE only actor to appear first in the template characters, then Alex and Abel are protagonists of SF III 3S, SF IV, respectively (and only that).
Not much to say on this point, Street Fighter is provided by the quality of their games for their stories and Capcom makes it clear this.
Item 4: Design
Another argument commonly used and probably the most common of all in those days. We often find people who like this character just by design, even if his charisma is the same as a moldy wall. If a female, it will have to be tied to the canons of beauty: the ordinary, well equipped physically and "More meat" in some movements (this goes for every genre of game), and if the thing man varies. In this camp we have a wide range of variety in terms of Street Fighter have from the rare "pretty boys" (Ken, Vega, Remy), the tough guys (Balrog, Akuma, Urien), the peaceful and serious (Ryu, Dhalsim, Guy), the giants (Zangief, Hugo, T. Hawk), the funny and cute (Dan, Dee Jay, El Fuerte), the "rare" (Blanka, Gold, Twelve) and so on ( I better stop because it would be very tiring to continue with these examples.)
Some characters, is the franchise that is always out of tune early in their public display if your image is too "remote" with the line of duty design, easy examples that may come to mind can be Remy, Twelve or Crimson Viper. In Street Fighter, where most fighters see-fledged characters contained fragile, delicate and elegant seem to be accommodated, but not true, example may be Rose and Dudley, two elegant and refined characters every rule (and much loved). They, Italian and English, have an iron charisma, personality and unique attributes that differentiate them from the rest. The charisma of the character may well solve the problem of aesthetics, is the series whatever. Sakura is also a perfect example.
long time if they asked me personally what the character unless appealed to me, I would reply "Rainbow Mika" plain (the relationship between the manager of the blog and Mika is very strange). Argue that their design is more elaborate than Makoto (a character I love), but his personality and image clash much with the series, but still it is not not even to see it and do not play this game because this it. Simply not have the same affection as the rest and nothing else, but recognize that it is an interesting addition to being a woman wrestler with graceful movements and a personality that can make love or hate. Instead Makoto is a girl with strong will and fight like a man, the judge in many generic and boring due to its low femininity (use a loose battle suit that prevents seeing any signs of curves), and certainly many prefer Elena and Ibuki among the few girls in SF III. Obviously can not compare him with Chun Li, Cammy and Karin Kanzuki, but what attracts me is simply that it is unique, the only woman in the cast of the series that do not pay attention to dress scantily clad, but fight, also appears to be so naive and enormous devotion to his death (as Chun Li but not the obsession with China). In combat becomes a beast. Along with the elegant Rose is one of my favorite female Street Fighter (the others are ... someday you'll know).
Speaking SF IV, poor Rufus was in the eye of the storm by design and was criticized indiscriminately. I read so many that some could hurt people with a physical resemblance to the character. Rufus is a morbidly obese and ugly to the bone, no doubt about that (not argument that their obesity is ugly). It is the only character who physically stands on the franchise (Dhalsim, Blanka, Oro, Necro). Not bad to like attractive characters, but condemn others for not having the appropriate physical exaggeration and more in the case of Rufus who was almost beaten. Did not care if the big players this detail, because Rufus was one of the most used in SF IV. Capcom strived to offer something not usually seen often, could have opted for business as a bishonen something worthy of a J-RPG or anime, no doubt have been praised to the first pixel displayed, but continued to develop its Daigo Ikeno idea not attached to the fees male beauty and as a result we have this particular character.
What do I think of hating a character for its aesthetics? Stupid, nothing more. judging by appearance is just look at everything. Judging from the appearance of objectivity is maul and make a thousand pieces.
I also tried for the picture but I got through that stage (at least I'm less superficial than before) and discovered many things about the characters, with a magnifying glass to see them too large, do not get numb with shock, beauty, or cockiness, see beyond a good back and a pair of boobs, view, watch and see carefully and then when I'm really convinced a verdict (I have taste after all) , but still not close and save potential to change my mind later.
The more I got into the Street Fighter universe more closely I could see those characters that I liked them and gave them a comprehensive approach: history, techniques, personality, etc. Many went to like, others not, but at least I have a better picture of them and not harmonized Things like if your hair is ugly. Gold Today is one of my darlings, that old man to me is more than Yun or Ibuki (for taste thousand colors), Jay Dee I think a fighter with an original style and sound that falls into the repetition that can be seen in Charlie and Remy, and Twelve is unorthodox but interesting movements to manipulate his body to his own will (rather than Dhalsim), something which makes it unique in spite of being an "ugly duckling" and is an uninspired design.
closure. These are the most common ways to download the anger at a character or how many there are.
