When someone says something is "cheap," what they REALLY mean is "I'm frustrated that you beat me with a tactic I could not counter." These are never high level players anyways, because they'd rather complain and not learn than to discover the solution to their problem.
If a game is REALLY so "broken" that there is one unstoppable, overpowering tactic that has no counter, then that game is not worth playing anyways, so go find another game.

Okay, about the "don't worry about being cheap" I disagree with this statement to begin with, but what exactly does he mean by "improving"?

Because if you impose imaginary rules on yourself when you play (and making a decision not to be "cheap" is an example of one), you are putting yourself at a disadvantage right away. Learning to play Super Turbo means knowing all the different tactics, and being able to either capitalize on using them or learning to counter them. If your opponent lacks the skill or knowledge to escape or counter a "cheap" tactic, it's that lack of skill on his part that is what caused him to lose to it.
Thanks.
There is a bit too much confusing on what cheap is. The amount of people finding throws cheap is very low. Cheap is something else, that I hope isn't present in SF.

static; yes it does. Unless your oponent is a complete moron that is.
I dont really get the mentality of the average scrub... why wouldnt i use tactics that maximizes my chances of winning? Its like not using your queen in chess, "because its cheap!". Give me a break.

yeah, it gets worse when people complain about being thrown. It's actually the same thing as complaining if your opponent uses "rock" in RPS.

LOL @terani you're a scrub so please shut the fuck up.
The person with the better skills is the person who wins and being cheap means using the game's most powerful tactics.
How do you expect sf4 to "change the equation"? Fighting games are about winning and the more skilled and better player is the one who will do anything to win period.

view 4min:14sec . "don't worry about being cheap" This is the Credo of the Street Fighter Universe.... combat mechanics since 1991 have been setup to see who IS the Cheapest Player. Street Fighter has never been who has better skills but rather who has the better Reflexes to Cheap Opponents. it makes me sick. i hope sf4 changes the equation.
