Honestly if the fixed the presentation and improved the roster it would be fine to me.

Yeah, to a lot of people casual means “doesn’t care” or “doesn’t know what they are doing”.
Most of the time it should just mean that you don’t intend to take it all the way.
Still like playing, still want to get better… but I ain’t got the time or drive to take it all they way. My performance reflects that often, and I got no problem with it.

Smart tweet. I definitely fall into this category… I’m too focussed on winning, not improving.

Damn we can’t like more than once. So much fucking truth.
I used to invite Alex mains that whooped my ass for sets, then I realized the character was garbage and I’ve bodied him ever since.
Did the same for blanka. He ain’t trash, but I know his bullshit now.

It is a really easy trap to fall into. You’re playing a competitive game so just by nature it will lull one into that mindset.
The really hard thing I’m finding is starting with the mindset of practicing and improving and maintaining it throughout a set, at least against the random masses. It is crazy easy to lose a game or even a salty round, mental gear shift, then end the set realizing you a) lost to the same shit you always lose to, and b) lost to the thing you were explicitly trying to practice against.

Remember when this thread used to get HEATED at me because I would tell everybody to stop asking quesitons and take it to training mode?

I just have a hard time controlling my emotions in this game.
I’ve went into matches saying “I’m not going to let myself get crossed up” and try to work on cross-cut DPs or back jump air-to-airs, and then I get crossed-up a couple times and I get so pissed, I just want to destroy the person.
It should motivate me to sit back and let them keep trying so I can keep trying to counter, but instead I just go in and try to cross them up myself.
I have documented a few issues of mine that I need to fix. They’re things I’ve always struggled with doing in a real match because I never forced myself to work on them at the expense of losing, but I know if I want to improve, then that’s what I need to do… So yeah, the next couple of weeks are going to be frustrating, lol.

I used to countdown to Christmas when I was a kid.
I’m now a grown up in my 30s and I count down to Evo. I feel like a kid at Christmas.
Capcom Cup and Tekken World Tour Finals make me feel the same way too!

Both are good?
You should always ask questions, tap into knowledge beyond your own, but be prepared to answer them yourself too.
Depends on how much you care of course, and realistically, you don’t always that much.
I like asking questions too, but there is a part of learning that you can’t really hop over by asking. Working things out in training mode gives you a lot more understanding that just telling you to do X. Even after you tell somebody what to do, you should still go to training mode and practice it.
Seeing things through the motion gives you a way better sense of what’s going on. Go to training mode and set up tick throws, block strings etc.
If people spent more time working out situations than practicing combos, you’d see people do better in their gameplay overall.

It can be pretty damn rough.
Even knowing that the experience is different playing against other people, even scrubby ass people, is a world removed from dicking around in single player modes. Matches have immediacy and consequence - more of the primal urge to win than LP or whatever, though seeing numbers go up/down also triggers lizard brain reactions - and another human being will fuck with you in ways that a computer can never be programmed to.
To use another music analogy: its the difference between playing at home by yourself and in front of a crowd. You have to do one to prepare for the other, but semi-paradoxically you also can never prepare yourself for how you are going to feel come performance time. Only way to get used to it is to do it.
I’ve absolutely had the same issues with nerves and frustration. Hell I still get shaky hands after the first few matches. Don’t know if that will ever go away but I’m learning to play through it a lot better than I used to.
One thing that helps is to not dwell on things that happen. Acknowledge when things didn’t go the way you wanted or planned, let yourself vent a bit, but don’t carry it around. If you do you’re bringing extra mental baggage into matches that is going to make it that much harder to properly assess what is happening and how to deal with it.
One of the reasons I’ve tried to stress consistent time but not necessarily long stretches of time playing. Varies from person to person but I know if I play this game for more than an hour or so against randos my quality of focus and ability to deal with garbage usually tapers off such that playing longer is counterproductive. Only time I can really rack up hours in this game is playing against SRK folk and that is because I know we are all scumbags and come into every match expecting the worst. 
Just keep at it man, you’ll get there. Don’t expect results or change in the short term. Remember that the people who we consider to be really solid players had to put a lot of sweat and salt in to get there. No short-cutting that.

I want to improve.
Just don’t give me praise when I don’t deserve it, that’s all I’m asking
Okay good.
Great then, we can help you but you don’t get to set terms. If you wanna get better at fighting games, you’ll have to start admitting where you’re strengths are at so you can really focus on your weaknesses.
One of the things you need to start working on is this shit ass mentality that doesn’t accept any type of positivity towards you. Your mental headspace is part of the game when you do fighting games. Hell its part of all competitive endeavors. You don’t win by defeating yourself before the start of a contest.

listen man, think logically about this
unless you are completely flailing on the controller and not even trying to play the game, you are doing something right. you are trying to play the game to win, and so by default everyone who is at least trying to do that has something going for them worthy of praise. just because someone correctly points out that something you do is good, doesnt mean they think its at the best level it can possibly be, but simply on the right path as far as they can see. whats holding you back from seeing things for the process they are?
