Online: How can one judge another's play by playing them from across the country? GGPO may have good code, but anytime I play someone with higher than 60 ping it goes to hell and my combos drop more than half the time. I understand that some may not have competition in their region, but what's stopping them from traveling? Money would be the only thing that comes to mind, especially when school's aren't in session.
Offline: Traveling is great, but going around playing many different styles is better than traveling to one place. There is no one in the US who really travels for SNK games, those who do travel tend to go to one spot. How can one bash ggpo players who show impressive skill by claiming the GGPO players use program pads/macros? There are ways to prove GGPO players are/are not using macros via replays, and although there are players who use them, many of the big names do not. Why not hop on GGPO to play casuals, if one feel its a joke it won't matter if one wins or loses.
