in terms of attitude? My Rep:

73% preferred or no review
27% avoided

Doesn't sound too bad, but it means that of all the people I've ever played with online, over a quarter made it a point to avoid me afterward. I'd love to ask these people why. I've been on Live for 2.5 years, and in those 2.5 years:

- I've never once cheated
- I've never once yelled at someone
- Never cursed
- Never insulted another player
- Never rage quit

The only game I've put a lot of online time in is SFIV, and it's not like I use a player or tactic known for pissing people off. I don't spam fireballs and I don't pick Blanka and turtle. I pick Cammy and spam her rushdown crap like a scrub (and usually lose). Despite never insulting anyone or utilizing a style any sane person would consider "cheap," I have a 66% Unsporting rating and a 16% Quit Early rating (despite, once again, never quitting in the middle of a match).

Is this just par for the course for the Xbox community, something reserved for the Street Fighter community, or am I just an online ass who doesn't know it? Cuz honestly, I can't see WHAT the heck I've done to make 27% of players avoid me (unless it's just being bad at the game).

If you are really good in a game, people will often just avoid you afterwards so they don't have to deal with you coming up again in random matches. This comes up more when you just play vs stuff, like fighters or sports games.

iirc, people avoid others a lot in SF4 when they play against matchups they just don't like so they won't have to be matched up against them again

well at least from what I observed playing the PC version like a nub

Sounds like you're so boring that people just don't want to play with you

Nah, I've noticed most people aren't mic'd when playing fighters, and my playstyle is aggressive.

It can be really awkward for us antisocial people to see a name come up that we already faced before in a fighting game. If it's a shooter, nobody cares because it's a group. But one on one gets scary, man.

I've had a reputation in the 30-40% range since Super Turbo HDR came out, despite not doing anything on your list, and not playing top tier characters (Dee Jay in HDR (more rushdown oriented, unless I was fighting a grappler or Honda), Gen in S/SF4). A lot of Street Fighter players I know say the same thing. A lot of people playing the series apparently don't take losing well.

There are options to do that that don't lower the other guy's reputation. That's what I do whenever I run into someone I have an awful connection with.

I'm assuming it's got to be related to certain games, because I've never gotten feedback one way or another in the entire time I've been using XBL.

Yeah, believe it or not, 73% favorable is actually quite high when it comes to XBL reviews. I think mine's around 80%, which is almost unheard of, though I haven't checked it in a year or two. Where did you find this? I'm kinda curious now.....

Well damn, I've fallen to 76/24.

62% Unsporting
12% Quit Early
12% Trash Talk

I'm not too surprised by the first two of those; the only thing I'd feel like negative reviews would come in would be from beating someone too bad, and I do get disconnected sometimes, so maybe people just think I'm quitting. The trash talking one is baffling, though, because I always stay in a party with my friends when I play online, where I only get pissed off, instead of call someone names or something. They're not able to hear me at all, let alone hear me trash talk.

I guess this just goes to show how negative people are on these things.

It's a SSF4 thing. I know a ways back, my rep was around 50%, I assume a lot of people just block people they lose to once in hopes of never fighting them again.
