    What an insightful video... This makes me feel better about myself... I never play in a tournament, but I always feeling nervous when playing other people online... When you say that the other guy just playing the same game as you... It really hits me... I always thought that I have to try super hard to win, yet the other guy don't need much effort to beat me... Thanks for the video man.. Really appreciate this...

    I've enteredTekken 7 tournament for the first time in my life like months ago (Even if it's not like a big tournament). It was intense and nervous seeing a lot of like pro player participating lol. I loss in the 3rd game but damn i am proud of myself learning by fighting high level player.
    Winning in a tournament is like number 3/4 to me right now. I'm more concerned on how to do in Tekken 7 term like punish your enemy, counter, doing the right safe move, doing the right side step, playing more cautious. I think that is the right goal for a beginner player who wants to enter a tournament or get good at fighting game.

    Also, I don't like that the guy tried to choose a level that, probably, would give him an advantage. Being a good player is also about managing on different levels. So I'm glad it went on Random. And you played well :)

    First SFV tournament I entered was Evo Japan 2018 back in January. It was SO much more crowded than this. I mean, not just in the fact that there were more people attending and competing, but that the space wasn't quite proportionally bigger enough to compensate and there was almost no room to navigate between tables during pools. This TGS tournament looks to be much more comfortable, minus the audio issues. I wonder why they didn't have the sound on the monitors turned up so you could listen to the game audio without headphones if you wanted.

    I'm very sure that with the headphones, that grey box there separates the left and right channels, so you only heard the right channel audio, which is why you couldn't hear the opponent's character. I'm sure Capcom will realise this and not separate the audio channels in the next tournament.

  • @petree
    @petree 6 років тому +2

    Optimally if you listen to queues and the headphones work, I'd use them. If youre opponent is on stick and you have headphones and are side to side you lose the advantage of listening to buttons cause like you mentioned he could've been listening to yours. I've done it before it does work to an extent unless they're trying to throw you off with fakes.
    Props going to your first tourney though

    Ah yes, I remember my first tournament. It was a few years ago for a smash bros. Brawl local. I made to the 2ND ROUND...then got destroyed in the 3rd... However, looking back, I guess it was pretty cool to win a match at my first tourney. I even learned what I was doing wrong and grew from both my win and loss. Considering the amount of awesome fighting games that came out, I may get back into fighting games again and even dedicate some time to Smash Ultimate.

  • @GonFreeccs123
    @GonFreeccs123 6 років тому

    The thing about tournaments is that you have to be semi-realistic about the situation. If you are a fairly new player with less than 4-6 months of experience and you aren't exactly progressing in the online ranked mode of the game you're playing, then chances are you will not do as well as you would like. The first step (for all players not just pros) to improve at your game is playing competitively online!

    you need to practice confirming off of counter-hits and jump-ins and going into big damage! that will help. and also jumping less. make your opponent mess up. make them come to you sometimes. it does mental damage. there are a lot of options in training mode to play around with that can help you improve your game.

    I didnt go to the tourny but I was at Tokyo game show which is my first show of that type ever but wasnt overly impressed although I am glad I saw it I just wish I got to play more games as after you have queued for a few its time to go. Did enjoy my time with DOA6 but only got to play that (twice), Omen of Sorrow, SNK heroines and that was about it unfortunately. Did really want to play SC6 but didnt look like they had hardly any setups so the wait was 2 hours when I was there so gave it a miss since games out soon anyway. I went on the Saturday was going to go again Sunday but decided to do summit else.
    My first proper tourny was when about 2 months after SF5 was released and I had already lost interest in the game by then so effectively I was travelling for 6 hours to go play a game I no longer enjoyed playing also didnt help they didnt post the start time so had to get there early to ask them what time it actually frikkin started. I went 0-2 as expected but I feel I should have won the second match I just dropped way to many combos. I should have tried to play a few matches first and adjust to the tv tbh as it was way different to my setup at home. I much prefer playing at arcades anyway when im in Japan just a much better atmosphere imo and a much greater variety of games as well for when I want to play something else also the beer was ridiculously expensive at the tourny venue I was at.

    going out 0-2 means that you didn't win a match. In double elimination tournaments, if you lose 1 match, you still continue. You have to lose twice before you're out so going out 0-2 means you didn't win a match.

    they should redo the tournament because of technical audio difficulties which should have been reported to the judge immediately by more experienced tournament players. Which provides players with an edge by predicting opponent behavior by not analysing the game but real world sounds that the game cannot control to give another player an edge.

      The audio was broken on almost all the setups apparently so everyone was probably in the same boat

      Although players who had their headphones on, had a less of a chance of analysing movements based on real world sound, it feels as if commradery or honour within the fighting game community is subdued to focus only on winning, rather than respecting each other and their accurate skill set in the game -
      i guess its with most competitive games

    What place did Infiltration get at this tournament? I really think he can BEAT the competition and ABUSE bad habits of his competitors to make it to grands.

    You should've drank sake, and fight while drunken. It's sure better than coffee lol

    If everyone has their own controllers, is it possible to have one with fake buttons so you can fake out your opponent with false sounds?
