Poll: Do Gif Avatars Annoy You?

[MercurySteam]

No, why would I? Speaking of which, it's time for a change soon.

 

[theevilgenius60]

It all depends. Most .gif's I see are pretty awesome. I'll even zoom in to check them out if I have time, but some things can't be unseen. When I come across a post that has one I can't stand, I just scroll past the post without reading as I wouldn't have read it anyway with the evil.gif doing jumping jacks in the corner.

What?

Nobody could hate Ammy!

Nobody!

It really depends on what the .gif is.

Hypnotoad? Awesome.

Something sudden that just looks bad because there's no fluidity to the way it loops? Annoying.

I hate Ammy.....Goddamn one button combo cheap ass dog! Ruin my Marvel vs Capcom 3 team will you!?!?

Nah all joking aside I like Amaterasu.

 

[Madara XIII]

They're my one pet hate. I simply HATE the concept of using a GIF avatar. It is stupid.

......Ummmm yeeeeeeeeeeeeeah >_> *Looks at your avatar*

 

[New Troll]

They never bothered me and when a fellow Escapee made my avatar for me and it turned out to be a .gif, I loved him all the more for it.

GIFs RULE!

Can't be any cheaper than Wesker. Goddamn, I hate that guy.

Some people spam the F+H combo, I personally do it so I can get them into a corner and then proceed to wreck their shit.

Sure it's easy to pull of the combo, but it's not really any harder than pulling off a simple L-M-H into launcher. Plus, Ammy pays for it by having the lowest HP in the game after Phoenix.

They don't annoy me, but I do often find myself distracted by them.

 

[mb16]

but its so fluttery.... how could you dislike it

 

[ckam]

I do get distracted by some of them. Some are grotesque and disgusting. Others are pretty lame at whatever they were doing. But if it loops well, then I guess I'll be distracted but not annoyed.

Thus is why I play only with friends who are within slapping distance. Secondly I hate using cheap tactics. It's like I can feel the heat of their anger as I dwindle down their life more and more.

But in all honesty I'm a flashy show off with MvC. I like to make sure I pull off a fancy and difficult combo on someone so as to let them know. YOU GOT YOUR SHIT ROCKED LEGITIMATELY!!

 

[Tartarga]

They don't bother me at really. I only find them annoying when they're really long and I have to sit there and watch the bloody thing.

 

[Rednog]

Don't you be hating on Bruce, bad things happen when you hate on Bruce....

 

[lacktheknack]

I never even considered the possibility... I feel a bit guilty now! D:

 

[Laser Priest]

I love 'em. They entertain me more often than the posts themselves.

My head is so filled with "I DON'T UNDERSTAND" right now.

The show off finishes are always the best (unless it's Dante, and takes like 45 second to pull off a full combo, yet only does about a half bar of damage).

My personal favourite is to make sure I've got 3 levels of bar, rip them to shreds with X-23, get the hard knockdown, use ankle slice to hit OTG, all while calling in Ammy's cold star assist. Activate X-23's level 3 ultra and catch them in the Ammy juggle. If that hasn't finished them off, it also causes a hard knockdown, so if I've got enough super, I can usually hit them OTG and pull one last ultra off on them.


Awesome.

 

[Aris Khandr]

I generally don't mind them, but there are a few I'd be happy to never see again. Like the guy with the head exploding. That's just unnecessary.

 

[synobal]

Don't you be hating on Bruce, bad things happen when you hate on Bruce....

I loved Jack of All trades, best thirty minute show in ages.

 

[ScrubberDucky]

Not on principle. If they're stupid gifs, than yeah, but stupid picture avatars annoy me too. An overabundance of stupid avatars on more primitive forums can be a nusiance, though.

 

[infohippie]

Oh, and serious props to the person on the escapist who has a simple gif of small fly crawling across a plain white background. When I was less than sober (more than sober?) I totally got fooled twice in a row.

Damn that avatar! That one still gets me from time to time.
