Man, I’m not sure what to say. I think we can all get mashy at times, though. Anyone else want to chime in?
Im no pro but I sort of do the same thing. Its not even that I’m nervous its just that once I play a serious match, my brain just goes into overload. All the info about matchups, how to block, etc is all there but my mind is so anxious (I think) that I cant pay attention. I actually posted a video of my first tourney up here and you can see, in the beginning of the match my Dante basically dies bc I wasnt blocking overheads which isnt me at all. Then I do a Day 1 combo and I dont even super after it. I would try to do a QCF move and end up doing :d::df:+:atk: instead bc I was too anxious to play/win. I dont think thats any reason to stop playing though. When we play locally or online, our bodies and mind are very comfortable and we can analyze and react to all the BS that we see in Mahvel. But playing against someone you barely know, there’s so many strategies running through your mind (both defensive and offensive strategies) that trying to process that while analyzing what he’s doing and reacting to it makes it harder than it needs to be. But once we get more comfortable playing the person/in that environment, our brains are more focused bc we know what to expect and we know the best strategies to deal with the opponent.
Think of it like this: Say each strategy/technique you’ve ever learned is a piece of paper. What if all those pieces of paper were just scattered around the floor? It’d be hard to find what to use in certain situations, what not to do, etc. But when we’re comfortable, its as if the papers are neatly organized under “basic movements,” common strategies by ____ opponent, etc. Honestly, as long as you know WHY you lost, dont sweat it.
thank goodness I’ve gotten sooo much better

I’ve been really trying to find a third teammate to go with Ghost rider & Ryu but I can’t seem to find anyone that meshes well with them. I love both of those characters and they play well together for me but the third person is always a toss up. It was Doom for a min but it just wasn’t working out. Any help or ideas?
Thats why Rider and Strider are drinking buddies, Strider clips them wings and pulls you back down to eat chain hell.
Doom’s not going to be happy once he hears about this.
Speaking of Victor.
Doom’s beam is REALLY good with both Ghost Rider and Strider.
Everybody loves a little Plasma to help them out. But this means all three can be bros together!
That actually does sound like a really scary team.
X/X/Strider is always a scary team
It is, its like the new Sent, Stider, Doom.
Ghost hits hard & build meter like crazy for Strider, Doom anchor is always good in this game.
Funny enough my first team was V.Joe Vergil Strider but I dropped Strider because I felt his assist wasn’t useful enough for pressure/comboing. For that team, a hard knockdown is actually a BAD thing lol

Hey guys, have you seen this glitch with Morrigan?
Well, its been happening to me a lot recently. Once vs Felicia when she activated her kitty helper super and I went Astral. And another time vs Felicia when I just did Astral, then the screen went all black. …
This is bad because imo Astral is a huge part of Morrigan’s game and I don’t want it getting banned or anything due to this glitch!
I find myself gettin blown up by Frank West. That son I a bitch always gets me. Am I the only one having this problem? Him and Spencer are always a problem for me. Any tips on these 2? I think it’s their awkwardness I can’t solve
But just remember, no matter what…
Still love this picture after all this time.
I’d shop at Akumart. Could probably get my Satsui no 'Tatous there as well as my Shun Goku Sauce-u for dinner.
Though god damn Sasquatch looks like he’s going to eat Sak’s head
And who’s the guy with the big spike of blonde hair behind Lei Lei? A Final Fight thug?
I am awful. I have no one to play outside of online so its hard to improve. Scottish execution is so free. We really should round the SRK regulars up for a big lobby session. It’d be a fun way to level up.
The real question is why Strider doesn’t have a reference toKuniang sisters when fighting Chun Li? Cmon Capcom, one of his recurring enemies was basically a trio of Chun Li’s. There was a line about a fourth Kuniang sister just begging to be made there. The dude only has three unique lines…
Come to think of it a Tong Pooh reference alt for Chun would’ve been ballin’.
Ghost rider is a troll char
I’d be game. I live on the east coast (Ohio) and am free to just about everything, but would be willing to join in on this.
PSN(Only:() : AwesomeBlackGuy. I should probably put that in my sig. Heheh.
Rival Schools cats are behind Hsien Ko in the Akumart pic.
No troll can beat the power of science MODOK. I’m not good with him, but J. A serves me newbies for breakfast.
Dude I was worse than you (with my nerves). Hell I could barely play online without shaking like a leaf and cringing everytime I got hit with some random attack, and start panic-button-mashing (I would play on my friend’s account). Whenever I would win, it didn’t help. I was still shaking, trying to calm down, and when I got a re-match I was still shaken. Come tournament time at our university, I was still scared. I mean 80% just came for the free pizza. The other 10% was decent and the rest were pretty good. Somehow I managed to control myself after facing a Phoenix user (no pun intended). It was at this point I got mad and started wrecking house and no giving a fuck who I ran over in the mean time.
Maybe you just need a new emotion going into it. Use rage or harmony. Hell even zen out or go in wasted (I’ve played a few wasted and haven’t dropped a combo to this day lol). Use a different mentality and you’ll be a whole lot better off.
