|  "Am I really "cheap?""
, posted Wed 13 Nov 21:49
Recently ive been playing third strike alot in the arcade on campus. As some of you might now, I primarily use Remy. Im not an expert at third strike, and maybe not even "tournament level", but today i beat this one guy that is pretty good, i however managed to beat him, the first round i killed him pretty fast, the second round went down to the last hit, but i managed to come out on top. He was using Hugo, as everyone knows hes a grappler, he grabs you and you die. ( well not really, but he takes a crap load of life ) Anyways, during both rounds my tactic was "keep away", i would keep throwing light of virtues, high and low, and throwing pokes (mainly mediums ), i would NOT get near this guy, i just kept him in the corner, taking advantage of remy's great pokes and disntancing myself. so anyways, when he lost, he called me "cheap" because i wouldnt charge at him.........i was like WTF dude? im not going to charge at you with a defensive player that has low vitaly, it would be suicide to do that! plus remy isnt the most combo oriented1 character. i didnt say anything, at the beginning i didn't really know for sure if he said i was really cheap, but JJJ overheard him and i confirmned it with him. ah well, so do you guys think im "cheap", or was i being smart?
whatever the case, i dont think you can be cheap in that game. next time i'll just pic yang and charge at his ass!

You're being smart.
I've always put the word "cheap" under the definition as a word people use when they can't get passed a certain players strategy.
Hugo isn't easy to play as, especially if your opponent plays smart. If they get in hugo's face though... stuff is going to change. Hugo has to poke like crazy, and just keep advancing parrying all the way.
Either way your opponent wasn't that good if your opponent degraded into calling you cheap.

i really dont consider anything cheap in third strike, maybe a few small things, but it isnt much, but the way you said you play with remy, that definately is not cheap, its pretty much the way you have to play with remy, but thats also one of the reason why i hate remy, his pokes are just so nasty, thats one guy i seem to have trouble with, same with my friends elena, shes so damn tricky poketacular
anyways, good to see we have some avid 3rd strike players, im a big 3rd strike player, like BIG, im not the greatest at the game, but i dont think im too bad either, i play with a lot of really good players here in vancouver, and its pretty much the only game i play in the arccades...anyways, enough bout the useless info, haha
hagen, keep playin the way you play, and just keep on improving on that particular style (as some might call, turtling)
btw, hugo's a big homooooooo beeeyottch !
lol
thnx for your time, adios !

Well, you were cheap because you won and you didn't ran in the furry arms of Hugo. You should have done that. So next time, lose, and the guy will call you a sucker. But you'll be a non-cheap sucker!

Zangief can lariet through them. Hugo isn't as lucky.
he can smack his hands together ! haha, though theres some lag before his hands even touch each other, i must admit, i prefer zangiefs larriet much more than hugos hand slap...
speaking of Hugo smackin' his hands together, that's all that guy does most of the time. you know how some people just press a normal over and over to a) distract the opponent, b) keep the opponent at bay, and most importantly c) build up a meter? well, this guy looooooooooved clapping! unfortunately, either his timing was off or Hagen's was on. a lot of "cookies" (projectiles) got through and smacked Hugo in the gut. in one round, he lost 50% of his health to cookies alone  silly Hugo

No, you weren't cheap, you were intelligent. I mean, THAT'S the strategy to use against Hugo. Who's stupid enough to rush him, specially considering the low health Remy has?
It's not your problem if the Hugo player didn't know to parry, but that doesn't make you cheap, it only makes him worse than you.
Also, Remy has a great advantage against Hugo, is one of the easiest matches for Remy, precisely due to his capacity to keep Hugo at bay.
BTW, do you like my Remy av? I'm not very good making avatars, but I think it's decent.

It's quite good...
I must say, I HATE GUTS most of the defensive characters, but I just hate them because of my twarted particular taste, the logic thing with defensive characters is to vote for a educate defense more than a wild offensive; it's like playing with Zangief or Clark and call cheap a guy because gives preference to throws... But silly people call their own incompetence "cheapness", and they give such words to the opponent.
In a certain way I understand, it could be frustating to fight an opponent that does "break" your battle plan...
It's a bad example, but when play tekken I unwillingly do so with characters that have very strong ground traps (okizeme is the term, it could be defined as keeping the enemy on the ground & produce big damage on such moments... It's really fun & really mean)... Since the button smashers from my city doesn't have this enlightened knowledge they always complain that I'm cheap or that my characters are over-powered... Funny thing since they play with the tiers of the game and I don't.

Now that you mention it, yeah Hugo does do a lot of "clapping".
Maybe Hugo can start replacing Vanna White in Wheel of Fortune...
