    What you said about the scrub reminds me of "the bro gamer", young male players who want to feel powerful immediately and have a very low tolerance for suffering. They make up such a big portion of the console market that AAA games usually can't afford to ignore them. Some games lean hard into appealing to them - the term itself was coined by the Arkham devs to describe their main demographic.
    As a side note, there's a phrase in Smash used to deter these players: "No Johns." A John is an excuse for poor play. The sun was in my eyes/my controller wasn't working/whatever. When someone says "No Johns", they're telling you to own up to your play and learn from your mistakes.

The opposite of a scrub is not total apathy at the result, but rather taking blows in stride and using them as opportunities for learning.
      All the scrubs I've met usually don't actually "care about the game" since they're the ones complaining about everything being broken and being incapable of a interesting discussion about the game, they care about people's perceptions about their skills in the game. They've simply just put so many hours in the game that due to a sunken-cost fallacy they feel entitled to automatically being good and being perceived as such.
      They want to be the Greg who's automatically good at everything he picks up, and believe that them grinding ranked means they're going to rank up automatically like they're an RPG character, and when reality doesn't rise to meet their hopeful expectations they shift blame to somewhere outside themselves.

    When the video was winding down half way through the living legend section and I thought it was coming to a close, I was already thinking about the "Greg" and how much they deserved to have their own section... And then it happened and I fistpumped the air!
    I called them *_"The Hype Man"_* and used Anji for the character pick, but other than that were pretty identical.
    The kind of person to gush about everything which happens.. The weeb's energy, the chill's mindset, the Ego's self love but it also extends to the opponent and what they're doing too, maybe the one thing which sets the hype man apart from the Greg is that they also have the nerd's knowledge and read Dustloop like they're reading their favorite novel.. But still play too casually to fall close to the living legend. They know what's optimal, but don't wanna do it ether because they think it'd be beyond their skill level, or straight up boring.
    The kind of person to land a combo in training mode made entirely out of 10+ kara-back-Megafists and post it on Reddit. The kind to mentally (and sometimes verbally) add Ed, Edd, n Eddy sfx to combos. And the sort to introduce a new friend to the genre, correctly read their jump, and decide to grab just so that they get to exclaim how sick it was that they jumped the grab.
    Although if it sounds like I'm being too generous with their description.. They have the faults of the Weeb and the Nerd combined.. Asking ether of those a question will get a several paragraph answer to it. While the Hype man will give a university thesis.

    As someone who has had and still sometimes has problems with salt. I think it’s important to note that it’s ok to feel angry sometimes, playing fighting games can be stressful while being fun at the same time.
    It’s just about how you express those emotions in real time. When the salt hits you hard, it’s good to try and take losses as learning experiences, enjoy small victories, And realize that at the end of the day it’s on you to figure your shit out
    I honestly get a pretty annoyed when people say things like “just touch grass scrub”. Salt is natural, so is complaining, humans are emotional and the best way to deal with the negativity is to feel your feelings and act on them appropriately.

      Regulating emotions is difficult, and in the moment I get really frustrated and I wanna yell. I try not to. I fail more than I care to admit. I usually let myself bitch about the game being bullshit or not doing what I said, but I know it was all me. I fucked up. Is it a cope? Sure. I know that. You don't have to say it. Me blaming the game isn't indicative of my real opinions.
      I enjoy fighting games a lot, but when I get frustrated, it's easier for me in the moment to complain about the game than it is to just... sit there and talk about my mistakes and how to address them, especially when I don't know how to beat it. It doesn't help that I don't often feel like I'm allowed to say "I'm bad" due to general reactions among people I'm playing with.

    And then you have the Casual, who spends far more time watching gameplay, tournaments, tutorials, and other videos on the game than actually playing it. When they finally do play, it's usually against the AI or in training mode... because PvP is terrifying. The few times they do go online, they don't stay for long. Their nerves quickly get to them, and suddenly they're fumbling motion inputs that were once muscle memory. Even when they win, they're left feeling exhausted. So they close the game, go relax, and then watch another tournament.

    Quick tips to help you if you struggle with introducing friends to fighting games.
    - pick characters you struggle with or have difficulty executing with. It may not be fun at first but it helps combat muscle memory. Trust me, it's more valuable than you think.
    - Gorillas or button forward characters make excellent introduction options. Cassandra in SC6, Sol in GG, etc. Characters with lots of plus frames that aren't locked behind anything more complex than forward and attack
    -Use tangential titles. Dark Souls, Devil May Cry, most character action games or titles with solid melee pvp combat are excellent starting points to open them up to fighting games as a sort of shallow end
    - BE PATIENT. Fighting games take time and effort. More effort than time. But that's a subject for another time.
    -Be open to criticism. Trust me. It helps.

    I`m like a combination of the baby, the chill and maybe a bit of greg. I am not very good at fighting games just yet but always had my eyes on them. Now with Strive and BlazBlue Central Fiction i genuinely feel the want to get at least somewhere instead of just mashing. Maybe it helps that i now have a few friends who also have interest in these games. Its a shame i can get a bit angry with myself pretty easily no matter what game i play (or even with other stuff) otherwise the chill would really be me.

    Hey, I just wanted to stop by and say that this video was SUPER entertaining.
    The first 3 groups in the first part of my watching were nice but watching the rest really made me see myself and the people around me in different degrees of these stereotypes.
    As someone who was a MEGA weeb for GG (and still is, to some extent), but got too much of an ego and failed miserably to become a living legend, I now find a lot of joy in just being "the greg" with a touch of lore 🤓 to get the true feeling of emotion in those around me.

    I would actually fit,"the weeb" now just because of the all or nothing mentallity with low life, NEVER GIVE UP! the self hatred is also true, but then you watch the replay and learn what you did wrong, and then do it again next match.

    I'm not sure what category I would belong to.
    My problem is that losing alot makes me feel like a very bad player and like I can never win, and when I actually win I can feel like I didn't earn it. I often have excuses like that I used a cheap character with cheap moves, or that I only won because the other player made a misstake or let me win. It often makes me think I will never improve and wonder if I should even keep playing. The times when I'm happy in a fighting game is when the matches feel very fair and balanced. I just want cool and fun matches that feel enjoyable for both players. Feels a bit silly to want that from a competitive game but that's how it is.
