Playing Beat'em'up with people - Online Vs Arcade

I play SF4 and Tekken6 at home a lot, with a TE stick and online all the time.

Online i can hold my own, espcially with T6, in fact i dare say i win most of my fights and i'm pretty damn good at it. But at the arcades with other people i suck ass!!

I pose no challage at all and regualy get my ass handed to me, i'm like what the hell??

What the difference?

Ping\Lag, It's possible you've become accustomed to playing with the slight delay. Unfortunately its none existent playing locally

maybe it's the pressure! Or maybe it's if you are standing up ?

Playing fighting games online is terrible if you want to be competitive, if you're good online it means absolutely nothing offline.

When playing online random moves work, tight combo's and strict reactionary moves don't, and no one half decent bothers with it.

Basically if you play online you are restricted to playing against poor players and you will always be playing a subset of the full game.
