I'll agree that that is stupid, though it isn't something I've ever seen on the PS3. Not saying it never happens there, but stories like that seem to be about experiences on Xbox Live more than anything. Regardless of where it happens though it would be nice if everyone playing online had some class.

And please don't reply "you suck and need to learn to play properly", I find that annoying also. I don't want to sit down and spend countless hours to master every move in the book so I can beat everyone, I have better things to do.... I want to play for some fun
I'm not going to say you suck, but if you're getting beaten by moves you see as cheap in a well balanced fighting game then you have two choices. Either take ten minutes to learn what the counter is and how to do it or stop playing the game online at all. I've never seen a case in a legitimately well balanced fighting game where there is a move that is so broken that there is no way to counter it. If you don't want to take the time to master the game and learn the counters then fine, but you shouldn't be playing online when there are obviously plenty of people out there who play these games because they like to learn them and improve. If you just want to play "for fun" as you put it (and your definition of fun in this case isn't going to match other people's necessarily) then that's what Arcade mode and friendly games with your friends are for.

If you're going to play online without taking the time to really learn the game because that's not what you consider fun, that's fair enough. Just don't complain when you get beaten by someone with more knowledge of the game than you have (even if the extent of their knowledge is knowing one move or combo that your average player doesn't know how to counter effectively). It's like playing an FPS and complaining because someone is a better shot than you. It happens. Get over it.
