What does FGCGaf think about long sets? I find the longer I play the worse I play. I think I am gonna swear off em.
I can't even stomach them in DOA for too long.

Agreed, Zissou.
But, I also think that after 10 matches or so, you can start to feel worn and need a change of pace.

I much prefer them. Longer sets allow you to pick up on player tendencies and more specific character knowledge. Just as long and its not causing fatigue that adversely affects your performance. I really wouldnt reccomend swearing off em, in my experiences thats when you grow the most as a player.

Maybe I'm just lame/bad, but I feel like it'd be very hard and I wouldn't have the energy to play up to 199 games in a row like that.
To be fair, you could wrap that up before brunch rolled around.
I kind of miss the bad old days of playing FT100s, but nowadays after about 20 games I just kind of go into autopilot. Which is kind of useful to know how you play on autopilot, but there's no point of playing 100 games like that.

'Love long sets, it's what I enjoy the most about playing fighting games with other people.
Even if I'm on the losing end for most of the set, it's still time well spent to me.

FT100, 7 Rounds, No time limit is where it's at people. Come on.
I like long sets, you can actually learn from the games. Personally though, I get more physical fatigue than mental from them which kinda sucks. Depending on the games I can go from absolutely loving to waste hours to being miserable.

I've wondered what kind of player metagame would develop around tourneys using scoring similar to tennis (long sets with lots of "bracket resets"). Would that even be fun to watch? idk
Topanga.

Seems a bit unusual, you would think that there wouldn't be a lot of people there.
But hey, if they have the crowd and they do it, more power to them, I'm sure tons of them are happy to see everyone on Christmas Eve.

I've been behind on stuff so there's some things that went right over my head. What happened to Gamerbee that made everyone go RIP Gamerbee and stuff around Capcom Cup?
And what is this about Snake Eyes' local scene disappearing after his 0-2? Apparently he said some stuff?
And what is this about Snake Eyes' local scene disappearing after his 0-2? Apparently he said some stuff?
Gamerbee messed up and failed to win a tournament that would have put him in Capcom Cup because of input errors or because he didn't have situational awareness in the very last seconds. After that he was really down on himself and talked about retiring. He didn't though.
snake Eyez said that he thought he'd improved as much as he could in SoCal and people in his scene got butthurt.

What's long to you? I have played the same person for 2-3 hours before. But I haven't done that in a long while though, haha. You learn the matchups, kinda. If they are good. But if they are not, you might be getting bad habits and just learning their tendencies and how to be them specifically. That's why I love ranked. Encounter lots of stuff.

I sort of wish there was some sort of rotating lobby system in GGPO or fightcade, as opposed to just playing vs the same dude repeatedly. Sometimes I want like a minute long break to just think about stuff and spectate or play different people once every couple of rounds. I always feel sort of embarrassed to get burnt the fuck out on a match and call ggs, only to want to play again vs the same person an hour later.

My issue is I am in a long sets against people much better than me and I learn nothing really. Nobody plays my character
I would agree with you but when a game pisses me off too much in the middle of the set, the time is often wasted. And I know it's something that will slow my growth but what can I do.
I think they work best within a skill spectrum, on somebody closer to my skill I certainly see that happening but when they are much better than me just pisses me off and makes me leave the game for a month. XD

I prefer shorter sets, maybe FT10 or 20, then think about it later.

I can probably do 10. Any more and I get misrable and play worse.

I'm definitely a shorter sets man myself. I can't keep concentration past 15 matches or so.

So I found my 3 characters/ Juri my main and Cammy and Ibuki as secondaries.

Intresting seeing your views. I guess I won't completely swear them off but I will be cutting them short if I feel like I am going through the motions and limit myself to 10 games.
Only type of sets I'll do. I have to set my shit up to play, so we're not going to play a short set.
