It's a matter of tastes, I guess. You can play without SP assistant to make the game more challenging, to have more fun, to prove something or because you feel you don't really need it. But yes, no one force you to play that way.
In defense of Shane and the others, they are certainly more impressive not using SP but it is a lonely journey. Wedia is right. You won't get medals or recognition or extra BP. You just get the personal satisfaction that your journey is harder than the rest. It's not like sp off is the norm. I bet less than 5% of the total base turns off sp assist.
Who is GCID: googleinator? He plays Sagat and has 4400+BP After 9 matches, I have 4000+BP and he has 3800+BP He is more like a 2300BP player... hmmm Has anyone played him?
You pointed wrong. You got the 'Command Fighter' and 'Manual Defender' medals, as achievements But yeah, besides that, you are right. Would be cool if you get some bonification for not using SP assistant. Like a medal on the BN.
You're absuletly right, but I hate when some players think of themselves as being the greatest for playing without an SP assist! Great to have you back BTW We never get to play each other. I would like to experience your awesome guile tomorow perhaps as I am about to hit the shits.
I've played him. I thought he was pretty good. But that just means he's a Sagat that knows how to block, so I lost Hieu, what's the story?
Ken|Ken I noticed renisis posted a replay of him beating you, he's a 5000+BP player. Is he actually any good?
It's okay, he probably used SP so he cheated. . Kidding kidding. It was too easy and funny . Good night y'all. It was a pleasure.
A decent Blanka, but a RQ. He managed to beat me the very first time we met. I got my revenge on the rematch and he just RQ. He's got his (bad) reputation.
I don't feel special because I play with Sp assist off with my main Guile because... You know, it's Guile. I'll try to hit you tomorrow, I hope this time works
Haha whats that? Youre about to hit the shits...next time im sleepy im going to use this word to describe my (clean) bed.
F--- NO! ! I am not salty but the lag was bad... His style lacks variations, very static, defensive and has low in-game instinct. Meh It doesn't bother me. I am sure he will take the loss like a man but he will also alter his loss number. The last time I played him was about a month ago and he should have his 11th loss. It stayed 10 for the longest time. I called him a cheater on his BN profile but he deleted it. He is well aware of what's going on. ivwshane and -40F(C) are easily the better Blanka players HE IS A SCRUB
First off I've never, not once, stated that I'm the greatest player because I don't use sp assist. Second, I have no problem with anyone using it on. My issue is that I don't think comparing two players where one uses sp assist and the other doesn't is an apples to apples comparison. That's it, end of discussion. I also put "no sp assist" in my sig because I do feel it's a badge of honor to be able to play this game with it off. Is it hard to do certain moves with sp assist off? Hell yeah! But that just tells me how much more of a bad ass you are if you can play well without using it.
Hieu, I really wanted to play you but the lag was ridiculous! Any chance of you getting on a better connection?
And: SP proud. No problems with having more options available at the push of a yellow button.. edit: not including turbo hadouken..
