When we get more abuse from a single IP address than we do legitimate traffic, we really have no choice but to block it. If you don't think you did anything wrong and don't understand why your IP was banned.Īre you using a proxy server or running a browser add-on for "privacy", "being anonymous", or "changing your region" or to view country-specific content, such as Tor or Zenmate? Unfortunately, so do spammers and hackers. IP bans will be reconsidered on a case-by-case basis if you were running a bot and did not understand the consequences, but typically not for spamming, hacking, or other abuse. If you are responsible for one of the above issues.
“I feel a lot better about myself knowing it now, and I try to share it with as many people as possible.” (Redditor bradamantium92 chimed in that losing the first round meant an immediate reset, because the CPU fought twice as hard if a human player won a round, making a round three win impossible.)ĭesk pointed to this highly technical rundown as an inspiration/reference for the video. “It was something I suspected even when I was very young, because the difficulty spike from Round 1 to Round 2 in the arcade or even at times on the SNES could be quite ridiculous,” said MundanePepper. “For that invulnerable Zangief crouching HK I 100% thought it was me that couldn’t use Zangief as good as the CPU,” said Biurfe. Others said watching the CPU pull off one-frame and unblockable attacks left them thinking they were doing something wrong. “The interest on 20-30 bucks over 30 years probably nets you 50-60 bucks,” wellactually’d julbull73. “That damn laundromat owes me some damn quarters & about 30 years of interest.”
“God damn cheating-ass CPU,” grumbled boobers3. “I knew it! 12-year-old me, you are vindicated for breaking your SNES controller because they were totally cheating,” wrote Megaman1981, speaking for us all. Understandably, this unique blend of nostalgia and resentment has promulgated quite the discussion. That’s how Blanka could do that bath-salts face-eating thing that KO’d you without getting in a word edgewise. The CPU can mash buttons faster than is humanly possible, probably because it doesn’t even have fingers and more importantly, it’s the dang CPU and therefore controls all the inputs. That cheatin-ass AI recovered from stuns in 12 (!) frames (even faster in Super Street Fighter 2X) and didn’t have to charge powerful attacks, like Guile’s Somersault Kick. It’s super granular, but also super affirmative that you weren’t just imagining things. From fighting games YouTuber desk this morning ( via Reddit) comes this highly watchable six-minute video of all the ways the CPU screwed you in Street Fighter 2.
