I have not had a rage quit on the PS3 version yet. On my first day playing my wireless router was messing up and I disconnected during 3 ranked matches, which all took my player points away. They must take a ton because I went from 600 PP down to 50 and thats with wins in between. I have never been so pissed in my life. Said fuck the WIFI and wired my PS3 up and I am now back up to 500 PP. Still pissed...
Yeah they were all rank matches. It still pissed me off, regardless of whether they lost points. I didn't gain any, despite being clearly the better player. A lot of these players had much more PP than me as well. So potentially I've missed out on hundreds of PP because of these fucking jerks. Why can't they just have a system where if the opponent disconnects with less than 15% and you only need 1 round to win the match it automatically gives you the points that you deserve. That wouldn't be hard would it?
I've been playing most of the night and I fought one guy who kept using Sagat all the time. I fought him 3 times. The first time he won by the narrowest of margins. The second time, the same again. The last time, I trounced him, he pulled the cable just as I got my combo in to beat him... FFFFFUUUU!!!! Seriously, this game is filled with sore losers. Those 3win, 5win, 10win achievements are next to impossible to achieve without boosting. The chances of you finding 3 opponents in a row who will lose fairly are very rare. Finding 5 or even 10 honourable players in a row is on a par with winning the lottery.
I don't mind getting beaten fair and square by a better player. It helps me learn. Losing to some jerk who get's lucky with a couple of cheap shots is frustrating but it's not 'throw your controller at the TV' rage-inducing. Absolutely owning somebody with higher PP and them pulling the cord just makes me want to fucking hunt them down, kill their family and then face fuck them with a baseball bat.
