Third Strike XBL droppers ....

What fucking pieces of shit.

So I was playing SFAC over XBL yesterday, and I begin a match with an "SS" ranked player. This guy had something like 1650 wins out of 2200 matches played, which is roughly a 75% win ratio. So I'm thinking that he'll probably mop the floor with me and all that, and that I'll surely learn some cool stuff from him.

Anyway, we start playing and he wins the first match, but I was playing with Q and wasn't able to do all that much against Yang. Anyway, it's obvious to me that the guy is decent, but not spectacular.

So I switch over to Alex the next round, who I'm much better with, and I pretty much stomp his ass into the ground. Right before I'm about to finish a hyper bomb SA and finish off the rest of his life bar, the guy drops out like a little bitch.

Apparently, lots of these fuckers lead such pathetic lives that their XBL ranking is worth dropping whenever they know they're about to lose.


Anyway, I just wanted to rant a little, and say how annoyed I am with the XBL system for 3S. People that drop during a match should get 50 losses and have 50 wins subtracted from their score if you ask me.

Theoretically, the connection could go out - but honestly, how often does that happen with broadband?

Add me if you already haven't. What times do you play? Would be fun to go a few rounds.

PS - Lots of droppers. Try not to let it faze you.

I'm actually in the process of moving, but that should be finished by Friday. I just got set up again on XBL with my new joystick and everything, now I've got to pack up everything yet again. It's one fucking thing after another, I swear.

Anyway, I usually play later at night - anywhere from 7-12 p.m. I'll add you when I get set up at my new place. Shouldn't be but a couple of days or so.

I know what you mean. I just got done moving (5th time within the year). I'll be out of town this weekend, but hopefully we can play some time after that.

I haven't played 3s on XBL yet, but I do sorely remember the droppers from CvSNK2

Fucking wankers.

I assume that XBL doesn't have a disconnect column like Starcraft and Warcraft III do? They really should've put that in, as most people won't play someone whose 67-3-35 (W-L-D).

Shit, that reminds me - I'll be leaving to visit the old folks this weekend.
If shit keeps popping up, I'm going to get a "sandwich artist at work" tag like the Dashmeister.

Won't be back 'til the 28th.

Anyway, it'll happen soon enough.


@Ely: That disconnect column sounds like an excellent idea. Wish they would've implemented it to begin with.

One unblockable w/ Urien and almost everyone peaces on me.

This may sound lame but when an actual good player drops me I leave them a "cheating" feedback. They basically just cheated me out of a win right?

I do that too.

By the way, your bro dropped on me a few days ago.

Damn homey, you need to switch providers. The worst connection I ever had only went out a few times a week.
