A heartfelt reason for why I’m dropping out of the Asian Qualifiers

And to add on, my intention isn’t to rant but to just state that I’ve done the best I physically can accomplish, and evidently my best just isn’t good enough. Personal glory is all well and good, but there are always going to be people who are better than me.

To those that are in a similar position to me in Asia or the other regions, take heart In the fact that there will be other opportunities in the future and that this run would’ve also improved your skills and understanding of the game immeasurably. I’ll be cheering on my peers who’ve qualified as they truly deserve that recognition based on what they’ve accomplished.

absolute class. Maybe you’ll get it in the other two weeks, but absolute class. Take heart in the fact that you’re probably better than a good 90% of the player base.

One of the only people who is willing to admit they may not be the best and that it’s completely rigged. Respect. You have true class and I’m sure you’re better than most players out there anyways. Hold your head up!

And ignore these^

Respect the dedication.

Thanks all for the kind understanding!! That being said, even though I know myself that I’m out of contention I’ll make use of whatever time I have left outside of work to work towards a new personal best in the spirit of giving my absolute all!!

Thank you! This is what competition is all about, to see where you stack up against others. And if you can’t win it, at least one knows how he measures up compared to others.

In life there are always people who are better, no one and me included have any God given right to win anything. Everyone in the showdown competition is putting in maximum effort and God knows the huge sacrifices they’ve made to get to where they wanna be, so that the person who emerges champion is truly deserving of that accomplishment.

Classy posts, @Akumaccb. This place could use more of that.

The truth has always been that at the very top level RNG not skill will separate the best players and times.

I can attest to that! So many times I was getting that perfect run going when I get clipped while intercepting during that final 1-5%. Not to mention that the AI sometimes doesn’t release an sp1 or 2 on cue and wastes more precious time when you have to rebait it. That’s the reality of it all for me, and I know that it can be done, but i just don’t wish to put in anymore effort going up against chance.

um.... are you top 10 in your region?

GinjabredMonsta

Well done man. Maybe next time you'll get that 1st spot!

I agree with OP.

The moment the AI backs off from a bait and holds block, the run is easily over.

reading this makes me think that kabam should have an event that is similar to ninja warrior.
Unblockable node, and the ai is pre-programmed to do certain set of combo attack. If ai is hit, it will use the next set of combo attack. And players can only enter once.

I get the Akuma Ultra Shun Goku Satsu reference!!

My IGN is Satsui No Hadou, and I really am a sucker for competition, so much so that i enjoyed my run at being in the top 3 in Asia from the very start. But it has come to the point where I’ve decided to stop pushing myself for that perfect run of perfect backdraft/light intercepts in combination with perfect mastery setups. The reason is the main difference-maker for me to get sub 360 secs would be a 100% cooperative AI that is not only willing to throw specials but to throw them almost immediately on my first bait attempt. The other RNG aspect that I feel is no point fighting against is the perfect 25-30 stacks of bleed required by the 8’00 mark, any less than that and my timing won’t cut it.

Therefore I wish to say thank you for organizing such an intense competition but I have made the choice to drop out now before this race completely consumed my personal and professional health to the point that now my health and sanity are feeling the effects of my incessant need to get that perfect run.

All the best to those who are competing for the very top, it was a pleasure being able to hang with you guys these few days while pushing myself to the limit.

@Akumaccb I wish you luck dude "Satsui No Hadou" if you are joining back...

@Akumaccb was The leader aka Top Player in his region "Asia and Oceania"

Well done regardless mate. It ain't no joke to make it to the top 10 in an entire region. Respect. Have fun with the game I guess

Satsui no Hadou there may be some who are about to make their top position in the last minute or last ten minutes they can come in and make a new combo or time period leaving the top player down actually the last minute have chances of winning I guess so not sure.

They have to fight to be the king of the Hill
