I swear to god, it's a miracle if I can ever beat anyone online that didn't just start playing.  I played twelve matches tonight, only won one of them (against a Yatterman-1/Zero player) and then in the rematch the fucker used PTX.  I also got matched in a Ranked Battle with someone who had 7500+BP.  What the fuck?
 
It's getting frustrating to the point that I'm starting to take it out on the arcade stick.  I honestly don't know what it is I'm doing wrong because I keep either getting throttled, get beaten in a squeaker, or just barely squeak by.  Honestly, I've never been much of a competitive fighting game player, but I'd like to think after the amount of time I've put into it that I'd be better than the Glass Joe of the TvC world.
 
Yet I keep playing, and I refuse to rage quit when some dipshit decides to use PTX just because I managed to beat him the first time.  Maybe I'm just going through some sort of stages of acceptance and am in the middle of anger right now.

12 percent? That's even worse than my Soul Calibur 4 ranking.

" @Hailinel: Are you truly into the game? If so, you gotta take your beatings and learn from them. DON"T BEAT YOUR  (arcade) STICK! I have made this mistake, and consequently have bought 3 sets of buttons and now a replacement stick.   You will get better, it just takes dedication. I was a mega scrub when SFIV was released, now I am just a scrub! It just takes time and patience, don't let the stats get the better of you. "
