The city I was born and raised in is built on a salt mine and its one of the city’s main attractions. Its practically natural for me to get salty when I lose.
Dubstep, DNB, Classical, Video Games Music, White requim,sasunooh and bullet dance from blazblue drop sodium levels immediately…
One thing that does cause saltiness is people talking shit whilst your playing in a tourney that are not even on your skill level…:mad:
Being salty is just a natural thing that happens in SF. Well, fighting games in general. There really is no way around it. Daigo gets salty sometimes.
I’m just allergic to scrub play. Regardless of how it happens, I still lost and I didn’t find away around his terrible play.
This x1000
You should see how hard my non-SF playing friends laugh when I show them some of the messages I’ve received.
It’s just a video game.
Getting “salty” while playing a physical sport, I definitely understand. A videogame, however, not so much. For some people, Street Fighter is all they have in life, so when they lose…
Thats right, Like i said
Like i notice how people like Vangief, Wolfkrone and his nice viper, and daigo keep they cool, People callin them robots cause they keep straight faces (-_-) the whole match. and some calling them emotionless and etc. Cause it seams they treat it more like a videogame and less like a physical sport.
But hey IMO and attitude is an attitude, if you normal get easily Upset (‘salty’) or have a low tolerance for things not going your way / losing. Then thats just a problem yall gotta overcome & deal with yall selfs.
Basically^^;
Deep breaths.
I’m usually a lot more salty than I want to be. However, I eventually realize that it really is just a video game, as mentioned by others, and that losing comes with the territory. Once I realize that, the salt’s gone.
I don’t get salty very often. I get jittery sometimes when its a close game, but I’m calm again by the time my turn comes back up (if I lose that is, I don’t get salty when winning).
Otherwise my anti-salt (even when losing) is: hitting tough links in a combo, learning a new mixup, seeing an opponent do something i’ve never seen before, and meeting new and skilled players to spar with.
I’m not throwing my stick, it cost me £.
I get smashed when he/she has better game, getting owned by talent instead of…
Anyone who plays the it’s just a game card, I don’t care is lying!
We are posting on a game forum! We care much…
don’t put value in winning, just focus on improvement.
Maybe its just that I don’t like sports but I don’t see why in a game that is physical it makes sense to get salty but in a mental based one it does not. It makes me think people say “its just a videogame” to save face when they lose. Anything you try at and are dedicated to will affect you on an emotional level.
It’s just a game. I study and practice harder to improve in SSF4 than probably any other game, but it’s still just a game. I’m playing it for fun. Getting better and better at a game like this results in more fun, but getting angry doesn’t help me get any better! Instead, I try and figure out why I lost and what I can do to avoid that during similar match-ups in the future.
Getting angry(salty) does help you get better.
The mark of a player who has potential is one who does not like to lose.
Remember this.
THANK you.
I hate how that’s the general attitude. OH IT’S JUST A GAME! IT’S NOT LIKE FOOTBALL!
I’m sorry, so a bunch of meatheaded jocks are allowed to get pissed that they lost, but a Street Fighter player shouldn’t because it’s “Just a game?” Football is just a game too.
Just because fighting games don’t involve extreme physicality on a field doesn’t mean they’re any less credible as a competitive sport. If anything the scene is growing and becoming more credible, and I don’t like the attitude some people still have.
What keeps me from getting salty is realizing every time I do get hit or punished that I’m not automatically dead and just brushing it off. An example if I get hit my a mashed dp I brush off and don’t focus on what just happened too much then I bait it and win. Oh yeah and also music helps prevent the MORTON (salt) In other words it’s better to become a reactionary player I know there are players that crack after getting hit by too many dp’s or abels command grabs/ mix-ups
CFCF is the cure for all saltiness.

Listen to this and just try to get salty. I dare ya.
While your playing if your being salty chances are your gonna lose so you gain more salt.
Not really it just means you lost and you may recognize why.
Yup, exactly I do the same and getting better surely does make the game more fun. Saying what I said is in no way a cop out, when I lose to something I hit training mode instead of cry.guess I mustve stuck a few nerves. Sorry if not all of us are spaz cases that blame everybody but themselves for their loesses and take videogames so personally.
Of course people like us are on this site, we’re fans of this great game, and have been for a long time. You can’t join a site where people have a similar interest in something without being some datelss whiny douche?
And lol @ anyone who thinks sf is equal to a physical sport. People don’t get paid millions of dollars to push buttons on time. You have to put actual grueling physical and mentAl effort to play a sport. You have to maintain great health. How healthy do you got to be a hardcore sf player? What aches and pains and injuries can occur while playing sf? I wonder how many of you types can do a single chin up/ bench press…
Tl;dr: sf is ridiculously fun, I’ve been a fan for many years, I’m constantly learning and loving when I show improvement, but it is still just a videogame and not a deity to me
Honestly its a video game, but its not just a video game its a mind-game to and most people wanna get better at. Getting salty is OK because some people wanna get better at something and when you wanna get better at something and fail your gonna get mad its called psychology.
