How do you tell if someone had a good game or not? If you turned around and beat the ever-loving shit out of them, would that be a good game? I'm guessing that would be more derisive than anything else.
This is why I primarily play the computer.

I'm guessing you don't have GG's very often, anywhere...

My status says it best. I always figured a computer is just 1's and 0's. It has no vested interest in say humiliating you and then rubbing salt in the wounds by telling you what it did to your mother when you're left with no game after 20 seconds and the infamous "9... 8... 7..." battle cry to hurry up and put another 50 cents in so you can be humiliated again.
That's odd because no one I have faced in this game has shown any desire to "humiliate" me or "rub salt in my wounds". Well except the odd Hayate scrub on Ranked or @VAND1TA when she trolls me with Ayane
. And I have not humiliated anyone in this game myself. I suspect that you're viewing games with a cynical outlook.
Good games @SENIORS_2010 and belatedly so @xXVioletHazeXx.

So you've never lost a game in all the time you've played? I for one am impressed.

So you've never won either? This makes more sense. You have a 0-0 record. well, now your quotes stand to reason. Here, I got something to teach ya. See, it's human nature to do that. Sure, on the surface you may think "Wow, that was a good game" but inside, the human spirit is saying "SUCK FAILURE AND DIE MISERABLE AND ALONE, YOU FUCKING LOSER!" to your opponent whenever you win and you have to bite your tongue a little bit to keep from spitting it out loud, and your self-esteem decreases a bit when you lose as a part inside of you dies, because that part of you realizes you couldn't have done worse if you had been taking a piss during that time and leaving the dead stick for your opponent to fight, because either way, you'd have lost.
Unfortunately, It's really not something you can control -- this side-effect, shall I say, of competition is really part of the human condition. What's the saying? Everyone wants to go to Heaven but no one wants to die?
I'm reminded of a quote from a great movie called Wargames. "a strange game. The only winning move is not to play".
Games? No. Competitors? maybe.
Of course he has. And I'm sure he did something productive with those losses such as save a replay and evaluate on how he lost the match so that he could figure out how to work around a troublesome tactic.
Unless the player is a groupie toward some established player and worships him/her like a god, nobody truly enjoys losing, and no one's saying you have to. But at the same time, when you're trying to learn how to play the game better, it's highly recommended to keep a cool composure with your losses so that your emotions don't get the best of you so much that you resort to quitting. This - along with study and effort - is the mindset to have in order to learn from your losses.
It's no secret that becoming competitive isn't without its emotional rollercoasters... hell, I'm still going through them. But despite your cynicism, there are people out there who truly, genuinely will help you understand the basics as well as other mechanics in the game you don't see right away as a casual player coming into that field. Furthermore, these people can and will encourage you. But do not expect excessive hand-holding.
In short, you're not gonna get anywhere with learning how to play fighting games better if you don't open up to others and find the right people, even if it is just a few.
BTW, we have more in common than you know. If you want to know how I cope, just send a PM.

gg to @VAND1TA, always a pleasure when we play together.
Bad game to @muc06 . Insulting people are really a pleague in network games.
@Awesmic, fully agree with your comment above. Nobody loves losing, but there's a huge difference
between fair-play and losing your temper. He won, i lost, so what? Did that change all you way of life. Did that change your self-esteem? Just stop playing, take a break and go doing something more usefull for people around you than mashing some buttons on that plastic thing all day long.
And last, defeats learn more than victories if you take time to analyse your game.

If I had to think smartly for achieving a little advantage, if I had to recognize the skill of the opponent trying to notice a pattern for anticipating it, if I was able to achieve little strategies or combo against the opponent, then I consider it a good game even if I badly lost (and of course if I felt fun, but everyone has different reasons for feeling it). While to play against the I.A. can be considered a challenge for other reasons, what I said before can't be applied in the same ways with a not human opponent.
When I play with Awesmic he destroy me, the same happened recently with Crazy Steady, neverhtless I really enjoy similar matches because force me to try to give the best for achieving very rare sweaty victories, in general learning more about my skills. If something, it's pretty possible that I could have enjoyed the matches even more than them, maybe bored from the easy victories or the lag XD

I would rather lose to a good player 20 times in a row than be in a lobby full of newbies and winning constantly against them winning everytime can have the effect of losing everytime sometimes.
