Chun-Li?... No, Seriously!

Super Streetfighter II HD Remix is pretty much perfect, or as perfectly balanced as any fighter you will ever find on the planet ever, I have no intention of talking about my endless summer holiday where I played the game on the snes or the first time I became transfixed by the arcade machine I had no money for at a Butlins when I was a very young boy. Instead I wish to talk about 15 second audio clips sent over Xbox live. The first time i encountered this was after playing Soulcalibur IV often from oppponents using kilik or cervantes. Not to compliment me on my so-so playing style but to whine about LOSING "why dont you learn how to play the game properly" etc, etc.. But I did....I won...sorry, I shall try harder to lose next time *shrug* Now all of the 6 or so messages i recieved over the past couple of days were from Ryu/Ken/Akuma hadoukenhadoukenhadoukenshoryukennnnnn!!!jumpkicksweep! spammers, all of them. I said this before and I shall say it again, When did it stop being fun and more of a deadly serious "game" to people? Surely you shouldnt expect this of games that essentially are of a bygone era (revivals aside) The games we played as kids seem to now judge twentysomethings (and a few others) on their manliness. (or womanliness...maybe)
I am very fond of ending up in games where It is quite apparent I am of a similar skill level, sure I'm not brilliant and I still have strange difficulty pulling off a dragon punch (still not so sure why i can't do it right) But I can Hold down my corner with an above average Chun-Li. (Ive also grown a new fondness for E Honda) But the ryu/ken/akuma bunch really need to stop it. I don't really care about how many fireballs they can do in a row because y'know theyre easily jumped over/ blocked, And the spammers with the highest complaints seem to be the ones who cannot win unless they come across someone who cannot read the other players (usually) very simple patterns.
Also Be kind. Dhalsim Sucks, if youre fighting against Dhalsim and come across the same player trying to win with him over and over... let them win, go on be good person and let them get their win for the achievement you know you want to... I always do, But then again i'm a pretty good person.
Also hugely fond of the fact that if someone quits it nets you a win and the other player a loss... So all you early quitters at the end of round 3/5... FAIL!
also, also.. I got my 100 matches achievement at 99... weird huh?
