Popular Post StrickenBiged Posted March 8, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted March 8, 2016 (edited) Capcom removed over 9,000 League Points from the player known as WORLD_COMBO's account yesterday, following allegations that the player was quitting matches he was about to loose in an effort to manipulate the system and avoid losing League Points. The Japanese PS4 player, who had been second in the world to earn a Super Platinum rank and who sat at the top of the world leaderboards before the action was taken, has been demoted to a Bronze rank. Capcom's game had been criticised for the lack of penalties faced by players who quit matches. As this action is the most high profile demotion imaginable, it's clear that Capcom will take, at least, retrospective action to address this type of unsportsmanlike conduct for the time being.

Daniel_Shadow170 Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Bullshit to the highest level instead of working on one of 2016's most disappointed titles their busy messing with leaderboards.

damon8r351 Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 That was doubly painful to see: the leaderboard screenshots and the reminder that the Street Fighter movie with Jean Claude Van Damme exists in the historical record. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get that but to take his spot because of quitting something every player has done even the pros do is a shame.I think a warning should happen first at the very least.

StrickenBiged Posted March 8, 2016 Author Share Posted March 8, 2016 You monster! That was like Raul Julia's final acting role before he passed away, probably not how he'd like to be remembered. I dunno. I thought he did an unhinged, megalomaniac dictator with a flair for the theatrical about as dead on as anyone could be asked to do. Not his fault the character doesn't really translate to film... or that it was a bad film. I get that but to take his spot because of quitting something every player has done even the pros do is a shame.I think a warning should happen first at the very least. I don't think he was the first or the only person Capcom has come down on, just the most high profile. It's pretty obvious that this conduct is unsportsmanlike. Arguably, he'd have to be incredibly naive if he thought he'd get away with it forever. And as unfair as a demotion without warning is to him (if it even is unfair to him, I'm not sure it is), it's more unfair to the guy who was sat in #2 who has, presumably, played the game legit and earned that spot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quick search shows 6 of the 7 in the pic quitting a match will be interesting to see what they do about the new number 1. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he's pissed, he's an idiot. Earn your spot legit and you'll have no reason to get demoted. He might not be pissed at all, you're the one who said he is. He should be embarrassed for getting to his rank by quitting matches about to be lost. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His spot is legit every player whos put time into an online game has quit a match for one reason or another if you say you haven't that's a lie and you're correct he might not be upset at all or for all we know that was paying his bills it was a harsh decision by capcom a warning would've worked just as well.

Wavergray Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 (edited) He got what he deserved. Instead of losing 25 league points for a loss, he lost almost all of his points for actively ruining ranked match and make the leaderboard worthless. Even if 90% of his points were earned by his skills alone the 10% he kept by rage quiting made his #1 spot on the leaderboard a falsity.

I really don't care about this, but I will say the following: if his demotion follows from quitting just a couple of matches, you have a point. I bet that's not the case, though. In fact, I would equally bet that his quits amazingly coincide with matches he's about to lose. I mean, I know that gamers love to think that everything is a vast conspiracy, but in most cases, where there's smoke, there's fire.

How do you know he hasn't received a warning? How do you know how often he quit matches compared to other contestants? Clearly Capcom didn't think his spot was legit. Clearly Capcom can see how many or how often he was quitting. Clearly Capcom knew whether or not he was warned. Their game, their tournament, their rules. Follow them or suffer punishment. This is how private tournaments are run. Cheat + get caught = suffer + only get sympathy from ShadowStrike002's disposable account. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NerdRage04 Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Didn't Parker say a few days ago- "Let's not sit here and shit on a man who can't defend himself" Don't see why this is any different or important really.

If Capcom is handing down a punishment like this, I doubt it was done in arbitrary fashion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also stop calling it cheating he quit out of a match if that's cheating i guess every player has cheated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously, an inability to share an opinion about someone simply because s/he isn't present is somewhat arbitrary. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it didn't make sense that someone would be satisfied with what s/he called "unfinished". It's not a ridiculous deduction to make. EDIT: You don't have to answer this, BTW. I don't care what you like or don't like, outside of the clarification requested, which you just provided. I just wanted to answer your final thought here.
