The legendary Alex Valle was featured in a Kotaku article which talks about how he got into the Street Fighter series."Arcades are where you can truly level up your game against many opponents with no lag issues or rage-quitters," Valle says. "Maybe those rage-quitters can still leave mid-match and cause a scene or something. Playing online on a console is more of a tool for execution and strategy." In short: Play online if you want to practice, play in arcades if you want to fight.
So, what do you think? Do you agree that playing online is just a way of improving execution and strategy, and playing in person is the true test?
