Hey I'm new but Just curious ... how toxic is the SF community ?

[Nuriyokan]

I don't mind it but I'm just wondering if New players tea bagging and saying you're bad is just an MK thing or is it like this across the board no matter the fighting game ? Just let me know if this is the norm everywhere .

[Hedgehog_D_Sonic]

you will find players like this in any fighting game just don't let it get to your head

This. So much this.

[Scott Clam]

The key is to make sure that YOU don't get salty. Good luck!

[Birnbaum]

SF Community is the least toxic in any game i played. Most are friendly and will even help you if you ask

Think I have close to 2,000 matches don't think I've been tea bagged once.

People may get salty if you on Modern though, but ♥♥♥♥ em it's your $60

Teabagging is toxic now?

it always was, it's a sign of disrespect

[BaronCappuccino]

Only thing toxic about SF6 are the boards here. Everyone's pretty cool in game.

[DJukor]

Id argue the most toxic thing right now is people crying about modern controls.
Or crying about how some female characters don't look like anime waifus.

As for Teebaging i barley ever encounter anyone who tee bags butt then again i win more games than i lose right now. Also supposedly Taunting is also supposedly frowned upon but il usually do it only if my opponent just refuses to go on the offensive if i have a life lead.

And is it also toxic for people to use in-game emotes after they beat them? Honestly real toxicity is people flinging slurs at you. Yall finna be too soft up in here, on god.

Its considered psychological warfare at competitive level. And may help you win or backfire.
And was never banned during EVO or other competitive events but then again its possible the players ware warned beforehand nowadays because i see less of it.

I try to be as respectful as possible but it does feel like nowadays people you call you out on anything other than being humble about wining.
I wonder why the games eve have tunts if you are not allowed to use them.
Kinda wish they bring back functional tounts from SFIII.
Hell the jojo fighting game had taunting knocked down opponents as an actual mechanic.

i've ended a series with a double perfect then slapped him with a thumbs up. was great.

toxicity is a stupid term. people who are actually bad are the ones showering you with slurs and mass inviting you etc (mostly in other games). the stuff that could actually be compared to harassment because it's so relentless.
basically the people who go the extra mile to be a ♥♥♥♥.

[BACKSTABUUU]

In game it's a mixed bag like all online games are. I haven't really had any bad experiences, the worst just being people one and doning or taunting/tbagging in the middle of the match. Really mild stuff. I stick to ranked and casual matches almost exclusively though. There's plenty of screenshots of people being unhinged in the battle hub, so your mileage may vary.

Most of your real interactions with other players will most likely be outside of the game though. FGC people in places like message boards (not steam discussions), stream chats, and discord servers usually are willing to be helpful. As usual people on Twitter are crazies so I would just kind of stay away from that and just be a casual observer. Best way to enjoy the game is to find a group of people to play with consistently and measure your progress against.

引用自 SeeNoWeevil：

You're much more likely to run into tea-baggers playing lower skilled players in the early ranks as they can't control their excitement every time they manage to do some damage. Expect to see some Silver Ken bobbing up and down after he lands a couple of yolo dragon lash.

I see bad manners way more at plat and diamond than i ever did in silver or gold when i was passing through. The higher in rank you go the more seriously people are taking the game and the less they care about having manners or honor as winning is all that really matters.

[IndieSmack]

It's just what you'd expect from a fighting game: decent people, ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, botters, scripters, blatant lag switchers, community trying to wish away said problems, people ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ about OP characters, said people also bandwaggoning on said characters, racists, elitists, death threats. All pretty typical of a fighting game community.

SF6 is so fast there really isn't an opportunity to do goofy ♥♥♥♥ outside of stun windows (which are much rarer in this game than in previous editions). I only really troll Zangiefs who just play keep away and churn butter hoping I'll walk into a SPD. I will 100% get the life lead and lame them out with time scams at that point.

Punk was notorious for his "What?!?! I'm just buffering?" or "I think something is wrong with my controller" flexes after stunning opponents in SFV, and it was hilarious.

The only toxicity I've ever seen has been in Battle Hub chat, and even those instances, I can count on one hand.

I've legit never seen even one instance of teabagging. Maybe it's just because I main Cammy, and visibly showing me you're not blocking is how you eat a spiral arrow.
