SCR has completely freaking soured me on this game

I'm a fighting game fan. I like to play and watch fighting games. Normally, I lurk on fighting game sites and forums and mainly just read the news discussions, but I had to sign up after reading this thread.

What the fuck am I reading? I saw this exact same shit in the stream chat during both the KI pools and KI top 8. All of it, and it was fucking annoying.

Remember people actually BOOING the Injustice finals at EVO last year? Remember Capcom fans and players trashing Injustice as a competitive game? Remember all the "GET THIS CRAP OFF THE STREAM!!!!" trolling whenever Injustice has been streaming? Remember how this game its players have had to continuously struggle to gain respect and acceptance from the rest of the FGC? And now I see all of this shit?

Yeah, SCR hates Injustice, right? So much that they even streamed not only its pools and top 16, but also its 3v3 teams tournament, and streamed its top 8 on the main Levelup channel with a subscriber-only room to prevent the chat from being overrun by trolls. Yup, they just LOOOOOOOOVEEE KI to the point where SCR didn't raise its cap after it reached its limit early, didn't stream half of its pools and at the last minute, fucked up its top 8 schedule to the point where one of the players in the top 8 was nearly had to forfeit his place due to the change fucking up his personal schedule.

What makes this worse is after the bullshit and hate that has been heaped on this heaped, its fans turn around and do the exact same shit to another game. This shit was as bad as Marvel players complaining that Marvel doesn't get enough respect from TO's and that [insert NRS/anime game here] is being streamed over Marvel, and then shitting on said game.

I like fighting games in general and I was looking forward to some live Injustice footage, but this has actually soured me on the game.

I used to have respect for the NRS community.

I guess that was misplaced.

NRS gamers not giving a shit about Killer Instinct, it's no surprising. Like if I go to EventHubs and talk Injustice, people will respond negatively. I was pissed (tourney before WB, can't remember what it was, non-major) when Melee went so long because of 3/5 sets that Injustice (and Blazblu) only had their Top 4 streamed, cause I don't care about competitive Melee. Coming here to bitch about us bitching about another game being on Stream when we were missing some big upsets won't get you anywhere

So if NRS gamers don't give a shit about KI, why go to its streams and fuck up the chats?

You can close the chat box or full screen the stream and ignore the chat box all together. If you keep subjecting yourself to all the trolling in the chat then thats on you.

I'm not disagreeing with that, I only popped KI on when it was wrapping up myself. But that was mainly directed at you talking about what was said on the site. Fuck yeah, don't spam streams with "WHEN'S ________, ____________ BLOWS", but you have to realize every scene does it, we get that with "Marvel needs to be to, Injustice is unbalanced LOL KDZ LAZERS (cause nobody has watched post-EVO). Not condoning it, don't get me wrong
 
Your logic makes no sense. Your argument is equivalent to: Aggressive drivers tick me off, so I will make a thread hating on cars.
I don't hate Injustice. But whenever I play and watch it, it's stuff like this that will stick in my mind.

And what of people who trying to discuss the game and matches currently being played, the purpose of the chat in the first place?

In the past at west coast majors EGP is usually the primary NRS streamer, that's why they were there looking for Injustice.

I do not condone what they did, and find the behavior to be pretty terrible, but sadly twitch chat can get like that a lot. At that point it's best to just close the chat window if stuff like that is going to get to you.
 
wtf is going on this guy is right. nrs community demands respect everywhere (and it should), but so should it respect smaller communities itself. in a tournament with 20 games it happens that not everything is streamed. if you complain about BB or gundam stream time now, i hope you realize how much they got in the past and probably will in the future before you become jelly.
