Given Du’s history with mental health issues, I hope his friends and family are with him and supporting him. Health and well-being always come first. Street Fighter will be there when he’s ready to come back.

Since we’re talking about things that suck and no one should have to watch...

Let’s play a game: Kotaku Article or Gawn Til November Comment.

“Sunset Wheel is a special kind of attack known as a “command throw.” Like normal throws, command throws can’t be guarded by blocking, but they differ in that they’re performed with a special input (in this case, a half-circle backwards on the joystick)…

Probably because as a player in a fighting game you have to back up what you say and you have nothing to back it up... So yeah, running your mouth about things you don’t know in a 1v1 competitive game, esp. the FGC, will get you called a scrub. Because you are.

You guys are uninformed about the situation. This was not spamming, which by the way not a viable strategy in anything above child’s play.

I’m gonna go out on a limb and guess you don’t play fighting games at a decent level...

Look we’re all just horrible, disgusting creatures and every single thing on television, in the movies, on the internet, or anywhere else is sexist/racist/discriminating in some way or fashion.

I have no idea what your deal is.

I’m sorry, but at what point does any of that make what EA okay? Yes, game companies want to make money. Sure, fine. THE DIFFERENCE IS—most game companies are able to strike a balance artist integrity and business. It’s not just the fact that EA wants your money, it’s that EA purposely made the multiplayer experience…

I too would like to live in your dream world where console hackers don’t exist.
