It would be good if one could bow/salute during the pan of each warrior however as you cannot you really do take a big risk saluting when the fight starts.

Some people (myself included) like to rush and get stuck in/see your reaction. My advice is just stop saluting and fight. Salute after a good fight, or when things are getting interesting!

It's almost as bad as literally.

So let me get this straight... OP is getting his nuts moist because people don't bow before a fight?

[FightingFerrets]

I could care less about the game. Until they implement a quitting punishment I will leave anytime I see fit.


I paid for my game and I will play however I wish until they change the rules.

I've pretty much just ghosted this thread but I'll toss my two cents in and then move along.

Those comments above are incredibly shortsighted and selfish and are in direct contradiction to your original post. You feel your style of play should be respected and if not it's okay to quit. You've demonstrated that small minded mentality again throughout this post by repeatedly quoting one line of a well thought out and constructed response and saying "I didn't read past this..." and then saying you welcome conversation. You criticize any one who attacks you during your show of 'respect' and call them childish and immature and state, "I will play however I wish". Why is it that your style of play must be observed or you quit, but anyone else's style of play is childish and immature?

The one thing you've said in all of this that I agree with is "I could care less about the game." You're right, the game is an avenue for you to try and role play some 'code of honor' that not every player abides by. The game is irrelevant to you other than a medium to try and project your own belief system on other players and if they don't abide by your code you quit. Obviously to sulk and belittle those players on social media wondering where all the 'honor' is. You haven't given anything constructive to help improve the game and have admitted to being one of the cancerous rage quitters that lead to disconnects and missed playing time for the community. You want honor? Care a little more about the game and the community. Show true respect and 'honor' rather than small minded pettiness.

OP, you're doing it wrong.
You show respect to your opponent at the end of a round via "Good Fight!"
At least, that's been my experience. It's what I do and most of my opponents have done.

So how about doing it the way most people are already doing it instead of getting all snotty because people aren't doing it your specific way?
Wouldn't that be the honorable thing to do?

Its really not.


Most people just like to play like adults.


"Dark Souls" is the game that introduced me to the idea of honor in PvP. Not talking about invading. I'm talking about PvP. Those are two totally different things in Dark Souls.

Im still in disbelief this concept even exists. What makes your character throwing a fist in the air or whatever "honorable" and "respectful" and why is doing so an "adult" decision? I'm not trying to be an a** but im not really not getting it.

Whenever someone does that before a fight it feels like they're saying they're so unconcerned with me that they don't have to take me seriously as an opponent and incredibly cocky. After a fight it strikes me as being really unsporting and rude. Or, "disrespectful and child like" in both of these situations.

I suppose im biased though. Years past, that's exactly how those actions were intended in fighting games. Still can't believe they're called "emotes" now. Is that a for honor thing or is that universal?

See I don't do it to troll (unless someone is standing off when I will throw out an unimpressed) or to show respect, when I do it it is pretty much for my own amusement and adding my own interpretation to it which I am not asking others to buy into, and it is in the preround and post round phase again excepting the what do you think you're doing kind of reasoning behind unimpressed. If you emote when someone is locked on to you you deserve anything you get. Though in my defence I don't do airhump type spam, which I take as them trolling to illicit a reaction in the next round.

This seems very reasonable. The pre and post round moments is a perfectly reasonable time to do that. And the spammy crap post fight is exactly what i feel negatively about. Should have specified.

I'll toss out a taunt here or there if i feel like I have the time before a match, or if the opponent is doing so as well. And I'll toss out a victory emote after a win. Usually accompanied by a "Good Fight" unless I feel like for some reason it wasn't at all. These things can be fun and add some flavor to the game. However someone wants to play the game is fine, it's throwing a hissy-fit when someone doesn't conform to your rigid design for the way the game should be played that's outlandish. Imagine going out on a battlefield, meeting the other army's champion, and when he doesn't salute you before charging, you turn around and walk back into your castle.

The air-humping emote cancels are probably the most irritating thing in the game for me. They don't affect me on a level that affects my gameplay, but it does affect my opinion of the child behind the emotes. Just like teabaggers in FPS games.

I must admit the first time i saw an Orochi do it with the petal effect I laughed though.
