And the problem there is that whatever I’m doing “well” is still really bad.
If I’m still losing in neutral/on defense to random plats, or cannot compete in neutral with Frost/Doctrine and cannot play defense at all, then it’s clear that any of the “positive” points you’re making are simply extreme weaknesses of yours, not strengths of mine, and as such shouldn’t be praised.
You learn more from losing
So that’s what I focus on
To try and stop making the same mistakes every time
Still won’t address the fact that you main half the cast?
Still can’t acknowledge that you’re capable of making the right decisions.
Comparing yourself to Frost/Dark is just absurd, considering that they’re the cream of the crop. Who plays ONE character mostly, whilst you drift through multiple.
Let me make it clear for you, you cannot make significant progress whilst trying to find your main. SFV to me, looks like a solo character kind of game. If you don’t have a main character as of S4, how can you expect to compete at the highest level?
There are many things to learn from defeats, but you CHOOSE to ignore them. Let’s take a common scenario in the Street Fighter series, using a player who’s just picked up Ryu:
He loses to a Zangief who has superior footsies, as he doesn’t know fireball spacing yet. And the Gief jumps at odd intervals, causing his normally reliable Cr.Hp and St.Hk AAs to fail. (SFIV Ryu in this example.)
The Ryu player watches his replay and comes to the conclusion that he needs to learn how to DP, and how to whiff punish whilst keeping an eye on the skies too.
I think that’s learning from your defeats. If I’m wrong, I’m more than happy to engage in conversation with you, @Akhos
Will already knows what he’s bad at, and he is right in saying his level of play across every skill is lacking.
But he wants everything to become godlike immediately and thinks its due to lack of inherent talent. When it’s way more on his mental game, he can’t just say to himself “I will get better” he’ll just end up wallowing in self pity.
He can’t accept his flaws which stifles growth, and he stifled himself further probably over the 4years of this game by switching characters constantly expecting them to magically elevate his game.
Which is why I need to keep pushing myself (with Ken only), knowing how garbage I am right now and trying to fix it
Can’t afford to be lazy anymore, can’t afford to view my level as anything but bad, until I can see actual, real improvements
I’ve got 6 hours each weekday and 32 each weekend, it’s time I used them
I know that it is a bit stupid to ask this on SRK forum, but I have to - why do you care about being in top 1% in this game?
It seems like a few weeks ago you just wanted to get out of pools, now you want to be as good as two best players here.
You are putting too much pressure on yourself. Find a main, grind ranked and you will be seeing progress really soon.
It feels good when you set a goal to be good at something. Doesn’t matter if it’s videogames or basketball or piano etc. It just feels good period.
Gives you something to look forward to!
I haven’t been putting enough pressure on myself
I just want to be able to give them an even fight, rather than being useless. I want to have something I can be proud of and share and inspire, and not have everyone I play both online and offline be bored playing me
Getting to their level feels like a good baseline competitively
I understand.
And I agree with most of what you’ve written, but you had to mess it up with “everyone I play both online and offline be bored playing me” part 
.
For those interested, Yuzo is doing the music for Streets of Rage 4.
Not just yuzo but Yoko Shimomura, composer of street fighter 2. Damn!!! It’s gonna be fireworks!!!
This is a real good looking ass.
This is more to my liking,not too huge…but juuuust right.
Yeah, that doesnt work when playing music either. Thats not how you get better at all.
Yeah, it’s like going to the Gym. It’s not about how much effort you’re putting in, it’s about how you’re optimizing your time.
And figures I’d say that when I can’t be arsed to git gud at FGs or go to the Gym.
Wow. I can’t wait.
so how was evo?
Hasn’t happened but the reveals this year will save the FGC.
The reveal of psycho 
will indeed save evo
Yes, I’m sure Granblue will bring some fire.
