I am going to try and respond to this in the flow of the original post.

NEVER play stick based fighters on the x360. It is a well known (in the fighting game arena) that you just can't use the x360 controllers at all. You are correct in the fact that their response time is so horrible you will throw the controller. This is based on how the x360 controllers are designed.

Cammy is and always has been cheap. ESPECIALY when using her online where lag WILL be an issue.

Seth is a bastard. Plain and simple, but I can not say with a straight face that he is any more difficult then Gil was. To counteract his stupid fast/multihit moves (and a throw that has insane reach) he is limited to only a few real moves (which can be blocked). I have literally seen Gil kill someone in like 3 seconds.

Sagat is overpowered and everyone knows it. As for Blanka, that Low Heavy Punch has been doing crazy damage since the beginning...kind of a trademark for him. They have said before they just don't feel right adjusting/taking it out because of that.

Online is online...people suck and will do anything to win/not get a lose. I have ranted on this before. As for BPs...well, they actually have a formula for that one (I will try to find it for you) but Basicaly, if you lose to someone with less points/rank then you...well you take a SERIOUS hit that takes days to recover from (VERY stupid inclusion).

The unlocks in SFIV was COMPLETLY uncalled for. I like the idea of unlocking characters. I like unlocking endings/intros. Heck, I like unlocking clothing items, but there needs to be a system like Tekken where you get money along the way and you can buy stuff you haven't unlcoked (or it just unlcoks randomly over time). There are some characters (Guile) that I just have no intention of ever playing enough to pull off a normal 4 hit combo into a 17 hit super combo ending with an Ultra just to get his last color swap.

So in the end, from one SF player to another, I feel your pain but things have been worse (Gil) and the game is a bit better on PS3 (controller) but there is a stupid amount of inborn button lag that slows SF down to a pace that isn't practicle and like you, I have lost the love I once shared with the game back in the SNES days.

Probably though, these videos will result in some kind of lawsuits on the people posting them, it is the American way.

Don't get me wrong, I make my living off of the American way of being a litigious society, but I can't help but feel bad for people who see this and see that it is being put out there as "real" by someone who REALLY knows how to fake it. I guarantee there is someone out there right now trying something similar and about to land on their face. Would it be such a big deal to make these people put up some kind of warning (at the very least)? I don't think so.

Yeah...it makes no sense. I just hate to think that it is more then just the 12 year olds that are doing it. It seems like Rage Quitting is even worse in Halo with the fact that you lose a ton of points as well. That being the case it seems like more and more people just can't deal with the idea of a "Loss". It seems like now-a-days you can't even tell someone they are anything other then above average without getting in trouble for it. At that rate no games will ever finish except in a massive "Rage Quit".

Yeah, exactly. Do / Should videos like that which incorporate insanely dangerous stunts require some sort of warning. It is now SOOO much easier for people to get these videos (everything has an internet connection now). Is it reasonable to require someone to take some form of responsibility for posting these things and in that encouraging others (especially small children who do not know any better).
