Obviously you have been playing with the right people...  If you really 
know how to tick, you won't just go up and start jabbing.  Usually,
you would time your jab so it hits just at the right time.  But, once you
know the person is trying to tick you, you can easily counter throw or jab
them back.  However, you would want to block those shorts/jabs first... 
(at least when you're playing with someone who knows what he is doing...)

Competition??? (*SIGH*)  It is sad to see you playing on the machine for
hours and no having one person come close to shut you out...  YOU JUST GET
BORED (at least I was)  Most people don't tick because they feel it's a 
cheap way to win.  There is no "cheap" or "not cheap" in the game.  If they 
design it, its there for you to use!!!  However, Capcom did make the CE edition
harder to cheap on the computers.  But decent competition should not have any 
ticking... Why? because both player should know how to counter throw or not to
get youself in the position in the first place. Otherwise it wouldn't be 
called "decent competition," would it?
