I just got finished loseing about 1100BP today and I only had like 1500. Street Fighter 4 seems to make me rage hard core. To the point where I flip out like the WoW kid(Minus the remote in ass thing). Yelling into a pillow, punch a wall or my punching bag, just snap and want to break my disk.  I can't figure out what I am doing wrong, I pratice combos, I learned out to read frame data even started going to shoryuken frequently just to learn but sometime its like the person im facing is cheating and can see what im going to do.
 
I am wondering does thing game make anyone else rage? I have never raged at a game ever... but this game makes me want to smash a controller and then it brings me back with a couple of good wins.

I rage like a mother fucker. I almost blew a vain in my neck earlier today. Hedgehog can attest to this.

I will often facepalm at some of the dumb shit I do, but I never really get angry at the game.
 
Now getting sweaty... that's another story... Street Fightan is serious business.

Oh yeah, the fact that Stang now stops me from focus attacking him ever ever ever doesn't help things either.
Basically, Stang's a jerk.

No other game makes me as angry as this game does. Even other fighting games. I don't know what it is about this game that just makes me flip a shit about everything. But I can't stop playing it.

" I will often facepalm at some of the dumb shit I do, but I never really get angry at the game.  Now getting sweaty... that's another story... Street Fightan is serious business. "

I rage so much when I play SFIV.  I normally don't rage about games, but dang...  I've screamed at the top of my lungs at 3:00 AM because of this game. 
 
Just today I got to the final match of a G3 championship, pummeling a ShoryuKen and a Sagat fireball spammer.  The final round was (of course) a ken.  He won a round, I won a round.  I brought him down to about a centimeter of health, I had about half left.  He manages to pull his Ultra off, and before I know it, I'm dead.  It was totally my mistake for letting him hit me with it, but I raged so hard.  I nearly left a crack in my desk... 
 
Fun game!

Yes, SF4 makes me angry.  My now very scratched and barely functioning disc can attest to it. 

" To the point where I flip out like the WoW kid(Minus the remote in ass thing). Yelling into a pillow, punch a wall or my punching bag, just snap and want to break my disk. "

Yes, it does. I broke my SFIV stick and my table playing this game.
 
Luckily I already owned a Hori EX2, which I take better care of for some reason. I try not to play the game any longer than about five minutes (two or so matches).

I almost broke my hand one time. I throw controllers punch my bed like crazy.

How old are you?      Kidding.    The most I've done is demon yell at my TV in pure frustration when I lose, and then raging yell of victory when I win. "

What character are you playing? Also why are you playing ranked matches?

Only played the game once. 
 
Got really, really frustrated with the cheap AI. Didn't bother taking it online. So, yeah, I guess it got under my skin. 

Yes, all the damn time. Seth is such a bitch!

Can't believe I beat Seth in one try by sliding with Bison after having spent hours with C. Viper to beat him.  Goes to show you my Street Fighting skills. =P

The only time I really get angry is when I loose due to playing online and that stops my reverals working. Something like when they jump in and I crouch.HP and if it were offline my timing of it would be spot on but because there was a 130ms delay or whatever it is I get hit by a stupid jumping hard kick then sweep. I never learn either so I do that over and over until I loose the match and flip out. Mostly by shouting. I don't throw controllers but sometimes I will toss it onto my desk or bed.
 
Because of that I've made it a rule of thumb to only join or accept matches from people with 3 or more bars. With 3 I'll still get that annoying delay but getting a 4 or 5 is so rare where I live (not a huge UK or continental European community online) I have to settle for it.

Only on laggy games (3 bars or less). I don't mind losing at all but I hate it when the game won't let me do anything. Can't block, can't backdash, can't focus. Eating random crossups, SRK, ultra, missing links, can't tech throws, etc. Also c.HP makes me cry online, it's so annoying to time. What's that, a free jump-in? FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFU-
 
4-5 bar player matches are often fun. None of that too serious championship mode turtling or running away the whole match. Also more variety in characters.

Hell no. I get a little pissed off at it when I do really badly (usually against the last boss), but nothing I can describe as "raging".

Actually, "reversals" work much better in an online environment (think mashing uppercut through someones links), of course what you're describing is not a reversal so much as it's just an anti-air. Down fierce works fine online, you just have to be more on-point with your reactions. Also, 130ms delay would be awful, I have 4ms tv lag on my hdtv and that's about as much as I can take. "

This is one of the few games that make me angry. That's why I stopped playing it.

Yes, this game gets me really angry sometimes, especially when something doesn't work that is supposed to, or i miss a move badly (happens a lot).  I also get super frustrated fighting players who know cammy's weaknesses and exploit the hell out of them, making either extremely boring or extremely frustrating fights.  A friend of mine who plays Ryu has gotten in the habit of sitting crouch blocking, throwing out jabs at random intervals, and focusing every jump in.  He has the timing on the focus down well enough that even empty jumps are unsafe, and ryu's hitbox moves back too far for cammy to be able to jump over ryu at sweep range, and any closer you eat the jab blockstring or a cr.mk xx fireball to push you back out, and she has no footsies to contend with it.  The match is so incredibly frustrating at that point its better if i just fuck around and jump all over the screen, I have almost no chance of winning against him.

I don't normally get pissed while playing other people. But the hard trials have made me curse and yell a few times.

YES!  DEAR GOD YES!  I rarely get mad at games, but this one brings out the Nerd Rage like no other.

I traded in SFIV due to my extreme nerd raging, I snapped two controllers playing this game.

" YES!  DEAR GOD YES!  I rarely get mad at games, but this one brings out the Nerd Rage like no other. "

I'm on my second arcade stick, with new buttons. Had a Mayflash stick before but I beat it do death. 
I don't go off as much as I used to. Now it's only when I meet an obvious noob but can't beat him because of lag or control issues.

Wow some of you have anger issues, how the hell do you break a controller?  
 
I swear loudly at the TV when that final blow kills me, but then I just find another match...

Usually when I play against randoms and loss, I usually get pissed.

When I get angry at street fighter I usually kick my dog, pretty hard.

" When I get angry at street fighter I usually kick my dog, pretty hard. "

To answer the question of topic. Yes I rage, no I have never broken anything because of it. In the end getting mad just makes me want to play more because it makes me want to get better than the assholes online so I can come back and beat down their asses and get the last laugh. Ask anyone who plays seriously and they will all tell you the same thing.

I'm extremely patient when it comes to video games and will try levels over and over again if I keep on failing without just quitting.  But I believe SF IV is the only game that has ever made me willingly throw a controller on the floor because of anger.

You should die for that. "

I actually don't get that mad when playing. I mean I get pissed a little when I lose to some bullshit or because of lag, but I've never like broken anything.

Well, I raged on and on about playing on my friends 360.
 
As a joystick user, it is extremely frustrating to use a pad. Especially the 360 one.
 
Hell, I can't stand playing it on my PS3 controller either.
 
As for matches, I'm not serious about them so I rarely rage, I actually laugh a lot seeing how I get my ass whupped.

Before I knew how to fight spammy players.
 
"FUCKING KEN, FUCKING, USELESS CHARACTER, DON'T EVEN KNOW WHY HE'S IN THIS GAME"

I rage hardcore while playing SF IV. 
 
One of the reasons why I love it, even though I'll probably pop a blood vessel or something. 
Probably not good for my health. 
Lol.

It usually happens if I lose to someone who I KNOW is using scrub tactics, yet still manages to beat me.  Its weird, its like you forget how to approach scrub players and then end up losing to them because of it...whatever, I still LOVE the game.
 
Rose FTW!!!
