7 Worst Online Gaming Communities

5. Street Fighter (PS3 & Xbox 360)

Super-street-fighter-4-characters I'm not a huge fan of fighting games. It's probably because of the uncontrollable rage my last few sessions have caused. Venturing online as a beat em' up newbie such as myself will generally result in such rage. Online, SSF IV is just completely ridiculous. The constant corner spamming, the time limit abuse and the unvaried character selection means this community seems more interested in absolutely destroying opponents by cheap tactics rather than just playing the game. I understand a few of you might call me a noob and say I just suck at the game and I'm whining because of it but even if I did master the combos, I don't think I would want to be part of the community. The constant complaining, lag switchers and the barrage of abuse you receive for picking certain characters, highlights everything that is wrong with online gaming and wraps it up in a neat little package.
