OCW's acting C.E.O is dyslexic. GG.

Ultimately, all that matters is that the Cody section was psyched after the main event.

Hi Leon!

 

I was pulling for Code too . It was a really good match to me and i thought Pugh was prove everyone wrong . Everyone hating on Code like its the end of oCw just pitch him some ideas instead of running him down . Good show from the lot of you . Lution is right around the corner ,so lets get together and work together and stop all this complaining and have fun .

Of course you were pulling for Code, your both damn near cut from the same cloth character wise, just slap onna star of david and we get KD Storm.

 

I haven't seen a single person COMPLAIN about anything, I saw a whole bunch of honest opinions.

 

But your right, we should be working together, matter of fact i should have thought of that when I was on Ambition. \m/

 

Anyway, I'm proud of you hoes for stepping your game up, this show is packed full of great content. These rooks are something else, very very freaking impressive.

 

This was the first riot in a long time without a Bombshell match, and it felt really weird not starting the show with boobs and man jaws.

[Pugh]

Please note: The whole idea of kicking Cody in the mouth when he wasn't set, black singlet etc was mind game Pugh in full force. All part of the game

[K.Dangelo]

Same opinions since Code was announced he was finally getting his title shot . As far KD Storm shot put Mr. in front , plus I said even in last year's game he was the uncrowned champion . Code didn't get to have a ambition era cause he was beating up vets and I didn't either . Thank goodness for Trips helping me out ( yep a Euro) .

Can't wait for next weeks riot .

Not for nothing, but handling a character is a chess game. You have to have your next few moves planned out. I think the real criticism of Cody is that, there doesn't really seem to be any real plan from here on out about where he wants that character to go, where he wants that story to go. When people asked, "hey, do you have a plan?" he tried to forfeit his title match before playing it and seemed to think about quitting. The other is that, Cody isn't really trying to put on a decent match, he's just trying to win. There is a segment of players here who sell, they're gracious opponents, and they don't make you look retarded. There are other players who don't give a fuck, they basically play this like it's public Online WWE 2K14 except with the double red rule.

 

I would say that, the amount of people who play with that cut throat style are a definite minority, and I refer to it as "Stiff", but it's really dumb for a number of reasons, it seems to entirely miss the point of the OCW concept that the hard workers here are trying to develop and get across, and quite frankly, it's counter-productive. You for instance KD, every time I play against you, you're "in a bad mood" and you basically just fuck my face and squash me. Thanks KD, I appreciate the fact that instead of taking your shit out on the people who piss you off, you take it out on a rookie who's trying to learn how to compete, but it's counter productive as fuck. Then toolboxes like Cody bitch about the fact that I get squashed.

 

That's why I go after anybody. If you guys don't appreciate the time that I put in writing, and if you just want to bury me and hurt my ability to get any kind of long term believable progression to my character (or any rookie), then I'm going to speak my mind and tell you how dumb the double standards are and how silly the logic is.

 

If you think it's hard to believe in a character who loses and gets squashed, don't be a douchebag and squash people. You can get your win in without completely dominating every single match or sprinting to the finish.

 

It's just, when you play like that, all you're benefiting is yourself. So if you're in this for yourself, then prepare to get called out on it, ridiculed and made fun of.

 

There are a lot of people here who really have made an effort to build people up and help develop them into long term contributors to the OCW, and then there are people who are selfish and are just here to be "winners" of a fucking efed. Look stupid, get treated like you're stupid, it's a really simple concept, and when people start acting gracious, they get treated graciously. Let's just stop playing dumb about it already.

 

For what it's worth, everything I've done in this thread was just me jokingly putting Cody in the Randy Orton position, and people actively watching the WWE product will get that almost immediately.

 

Anyway, there's your sermon.

His character is a huge dominant black dude... Of course he's going to try and squash you... It's your job as the plucky rookie to "get the strong showing." The term "you get what you put in" should count for matches as well. I mean fuck, I'm horrible compared to how I used to be at this game, I wouldn't want someone to prolong a match to give me a stronger showing.

 

I can see both sides of the coin though. If people are happy with what they're doing that's all that matters.

[Bobby Minio]

Considering how this game is FUCKING UNPLAYABLE ONLINE outside of organizations like the OCW, it's pretty hard to get anything in. Matches for me are 50% me trying to time the lag that is different every match I play, sometimes it's as bad as a 2-3 second delay, so I literally have to hit the reversal button before someone even starts doing a move and just pray I get lucky, and then it's about 25% desperately trying to catch up and start getting any kind of meaningful offense in, and then it's 25% getting ragdolled from double orange to double red, wakeup taunt, finisher, finito.

 

A lot of people here talk a lot of FPR shit and a lot of people seem to have this freebie pass on their FPR. Watch one of those KD vs Minio match ups back, I'm not saying the guy hovers but he NEVER backs off. You have no time to reset, no time to do anything. That's when you really suffer at the hands of lag, because you're never getting offense in, you're just battling the lag in pure desperation to reverse.

 

I often times make the stupid mistake of trying to actually build progression of moves in a match to make it actually look remotely like a match and I'll get destroyed with a power move in the first 15 seconds for my troubles. I'll try to do strikes, I'll do grapple moves that lead to strike moves, and I'll just get jacknifed through the ring.

 

It's just very confusing as a newcomer because people tell you, it's a mixture of putting on a good match and playing competitively, but there is a clear segment of players here who are just playing this competitively. I do believe that you get better by competing against people who are better than you, but this shit is EXTREMELY overwhelming as you're trying to learn and remember FPR, and there are some guys who have no interest in helping teach you in the moment about the right and wrongs of FPR. So while you have that riding on your shoulders, knowing a few sticks in the mud will bitch about it on the feedback thread rather than teach you in the moment, then you're just trying to learn the Online game, you're trying to learn how to do all of these things on the fly, all the mean time someone is just relentlessly destroying you. The only thing you're learning there is what your character looks like when he's totally helpless.

 

Then, when you try to get your work in verbally, you have people who poo poo on it because you're not good on the sticks.

 

It's important to remember, while Cody didn't have Ambition, he seems to have had another fed that he came from to get to here. A lot of us rookies don't have that. We don't have Ambition. We don't have backgrounds in other feds or leagues in this game or previous versions. We're just here trying to learn against people who are just trying to win because everyone is more concerned with being the Crowned King of OCW mountain than they are concern with telling a story or building a character.

 

Thank god that there is a group of people here who actually see, and give even half a shit, about the bigger picture, because there's a handful who really don't, and they only seem to resent the idea of a bigger picture.

It's now official your Pugh The 2nd.

[Jacob Trance]

I fully sympathise with you buddy, it's like when you started I wanted to try and do something with you, no matter what came out of the game. And yeah, I thin k you ened to be able to both, I fully agree. People ragged fuck out of 'Suda and his "UNBEATABLE" gimmick, when he jobbed every match. So he practice, and got better. Dupree used to get ragged on, so he practiced, and got better.

 

 

Get better at playing the game and get better at writing, it shouldn't be hard for EITHER side to do that.

 

KD is always tough to play, he's always super aggressive and his connection is shit. I try to play a character in my match, like I said before, if you only want to tell stories, join an RP fed, or a sim league. There's a reason OCW isn't JUST that, it's because there's a competitive side to it as well. It's not a "bigger picture" vs "their view" it's opinion versus opinion, I like doing both, so I'm fine with whatever comes my way.

 

If I lose, I lose, I go do something based on the out come of my match, for example... Your story is damned simple, keep losing then get the "fluke." I think you need to realise Cody wasn't shitting on you, he was just defending himself as he saw someone always losing meaning more, I mean fuck, the fed he came from banned me for saying "why didn't he pin him?"

 

Apparently wrestling and story telling is prolonging a match by 20 minutes and having the same outcome, and doing a fuckton of stupid looking shit.

 

I love story telling, trust me and you're a good guy. There really is no bigger picture, just what you want from OCW, if it's different from that of someone else, no one has a right to shit on anyone.

 

 

Just my two cents, and trying to defuse the situation.
