RS zone v directional matchups
-
I've never used Directional, but is it easy and is it cheap? If so, wouldn't everyone be using it. there must be limits on how successful it can be / ways of combating it? If so, just leave them together. I don't see how they can be streamed.

I love how the OP is saying his opponent didn’t deserve to win because the OP uses the harder input. Lmao the whining and self pity. Let me break it down to you OP
Zone is high ceiling input. Directional is high floor. In other words. On a scale of 1 to 10. Zone input can be anywhere between 1 and 10 depending on your skill level. Where as directional is 4-7. Higher floor but lower ceiling. Yes all he has to do is focus on timing and pitch type , but can be easily exploited. Directional has hard time hitting up and in pitches and pitches up anywhere.
He was most likely a 6 where you are most likely a 4. You both on same scale. He just chose the higher floor and lower ceiling
TLDR : stop being salty because you were outplayed
Hahaha, your ability to comprehend a message is amazing. Please point out in any message where I stated opponent “didn’t deserve to win”. Believe I clearly acknowledged his ability to be more successful with his chosen setting.
I’ll say again: the point of the post was to consider having similar opponents with similar settings match up. Period.

I am a bad Zone hitter

I think this is the best explanation of Directional vs Zone I have seen yet

Your original post reaked of salty fumes. The whole forum smell it. It was so bad, other threads smelled it. You continue to be salty, just back away and let it go

It was implied. A person can make a reasonable conclusion based on past posts, general sentiment and evidence ( thread history ) kinda like a court room.
Quite a few people came to the same conclusion that the OP implied that his opponent didn’t deserve the win because his opponent used directional ( again , assumed because there is no way to know for sure what input opponent uses ). The history of these forums, there is one known fact. Zone is the superior input for skilled players.
OP just salty he lost is all

Read the 2nd paragraph, if has everything to do with what the OP wrote.

Wait, so are you a detective or lawyer in this scenario? I don’t believe court rooms rely on general sentiment and then not sure my post history is peppered habitually with posts regarding this matter so I’d question your detective skills as well. You have inferred something on your own accord and is not reflective of anything literally written.
I thought that this was a forum where individuals could postulate ideas and thoughts with the common community regarding things such as state of play and potential improvements.
Bottom line: boy I think I’d be a neat idea if people with similar gameplay settings were matched up to each other.

You are trying too hard to change the narrative. Your original post was salty as hell. Take the L and move on

I think they when entering into a ranked season game, they should have different rooms of hitting settings. When you enter you’re locked in for the game and/or stuck being paired against similar type players. Evens the gameplay out to playing against liked opponents.

I know, if only I tried this hard during my games!! And believe my narrative has been the same since my second sentence. Thanks though!!

Not simple if it’s a flawed argument
It’s based on a premise that zone and directional are not on same playing level . When you base it on a lie, it is not simple.
We are all on same playing level no matter which input we use.
Difference is , some people get salty ( OP) when they lose to someone who chose the input with the high floor. They made a choice for themselves that a floor of 4 on a 1 to 10 scale is better than their skill at zone.
OP argument is false because he bases it on a lie that he HAS to play zone. Both players have the option of zone and directional throughout the game.
I repeat.... SAME LEVEL PLAYING FIELD .
If you want your ideas to be taken seriously, then phrase them correctly.

Boy, now I’m a salty liar. If you want your counter arguments to be taken seriously, please point out where I “lied” and noted that I “HAVE” to play on a certain input mechanic.
Also, I really feel like you’re overusing the word “salty”....can you provide any other synonyms?

Irritated is same as salty
So yes, you are a liar when you say you are not salty
Peeved
Irritated
Salty
Pissed
Annoyed
And on and on. -

And on and on.I personally like “irked”. Don’t hear it commonly so that’s a fun one.
Feel free to refer to second post on the matter where I end with the following:
Also, entirely plausible I’m just salty.But this has been fun!!

Zone and directional are two different games. I always assume I am playing people who are using zone which hurts me some games. I think if we have to play together, there should be a notification when someone is using or switches to directional hitting bc the strategy for pitching to someone using directional is completely different
-
Are we going to throw analog hitters under the bus too? Or are they an exception to the rule here? Directional requires no skill at all, which is why I use so often or I just switch back to pure analog. If you can pick up that a person is using directional during a match up, just throw up and or anything UP in the strike zone and they will pop out 90% of the time. Once I find someone found out that I am using directional, I'll switch to analog and that UP zone approach will no longer work. But honestly, look at my record - it's a laughing joke and I'm not even mad about it. I just suck at hitting and I'm not going to get any better.

It appears you have it wrong as he has clarified several times that he was not making that point. You assumed or better yet inferred something that was not stated. And we all know what assumptions do.
