OK. Watched every replay of my alex vs his laura set. 70% it’s me trying to block his mixup, block his jump in’s and trying to retailiate.
Wish i had a vesper arcade video series i could follow for this game. Just can’t seem to play it properly. Start the match off with my rage meter at a 30% minimum. The last couple of matches you could see me not even attempting to properly play anymore.
Really cant understand why this game is so much harder than sf4 or hd remix.
Everything feels so fast paced and i just cant seem to keep up.
You seem to be intentionally not getting this. Saying “GG/good game” after a set is considered polite to broader gaming world. You for whatever reason don’t find it polite. You have a choice: you can either choose to get pissed off when people are being polite to you because reasons, or you can act like someone who wasn’t raised by wolves.
There really isn’t much else to say here.
PS: if someone shakes your hand and says “nice to meet you”, they’re trying to be friendly. Try not to punch them in the dick.
So i played another set with that friend of mine, still lost 15-0 but this time it wasnt a complete free match. Actually learned something. Got to work on my defense and learn the timing to anti air certain things in this game.
After thinking about it i really did let the salt takeover when it came to lamenting my loss, people just want to stay polite after playing a set.
Still going to take some adjustments into actually shaking someone’s hand after getting bodied though.
Here’s the thing, basically when you lose to someone, no matter what the other person says you will probably take the wrong way. The other person is not out to get you. They are just trying to better their own game.
When I face opponents who beat me that bad, my objective is not to dominate them back. My objective is to match their pace in the game. If I take a hit from him, I want to be able to land one right after. Or if I take a half health combo from him, I better make sure that when I get one hit in that I capitalize on it to return the favor. I think of it like a sparring/training buddy instead of someone to take my frustrations out on.
When I see people on tilt at fighting game tourneys, I get that more since there is pot money and real life ranking on the line. If it’s versus your friend or someone online, there’s nothing to lose really.
I’m Swedish. I come from a long line of excessively polite people. That guy who didn’t say thank you when paying for his meal at McDonald’s is our Hitler. To not thank a person for taking the time to play with me would be inconceivable.
On a more serious note, don’t get so worked up. The guy is probably just being polite. Maybe he realizes you’re not that good when he’s beasting on you but still recognizes that you had a few good plays in there. One of the best messages I got was after a complete blow-out where the guy essentially just went “GG. By the way, that thing you did in the final round was the right thing to do. Do more of that.” And the next match, I did better. There’s no point in getting salty, because even if he’s shitting all over you, getting salty at him will 1) do exactly what he wanted and 2) won’t help your game.
Everyone pretty much said what I wanted to say. There are tons of topics about dealing with rage from losses on this forum. I find that frame of mind really helps. If I tell myself I’m going to win, loosing or getting hit with a long combo can be a very infuriating experience. But if I treat the experience like I’m essentially experimenting in a lab, how many losses I have doesn’t even matter. Successfully executing a move or a combo on a human becomes the victory.
Good video.
I have some Swedish blood in me, and I feel about the same way. Haha!
Well, you’re honest, so you get points for that. :lol:
But if it helps at all, (I used to be a salty youth, yeaaaaaars ago), just remember why you are playing (for fun). The moment you stop having fun, is the moment you need to throw something non-fighting game related into the ps4/xbone. Taking a break can help your game a lot some times, because you may be getting burnt out without even realizing it. But you’re aware of the salt, so that is steps ahead of many people, so cheers!
The less salty you become, the more people can gravitate towards you as well. Nothing is more off putting than a salty player, and those people tend to be left out when it comes to local sessions. Anyway, enough from me, i’m outtie, ggs.
This seems ridiculous, it has become “Gamer” culture to say GG after a match. It doesn’t matter about the match, it is meant as a way of saying "Thanks for playing this game with me"
I saw the same shit in MTG. Chill out and just move on.
