@Primo Antonius "Cloud". As a Cloud main: Don't do it. You will regret it. He really isn't that good. Lower High Tier at best, which isn't bad, but some place him lower Mid-Tier, so uh, yeah, you won't win that much tourneys with him :) And Online, he loses to every single Projectile char, which is so annoying.
@Primo Antonius That's not true at all. I don't know on what kind of skill level you play, but to have a chance in tournaments, you have to play Cloud on a high level. Only picking him up and playing without practice doesn't work. If you talk about Online, I have no idea, I don't play that anymore, because there are only Ness, Lucas und Link Players playing the game in Europe Online. I hardly see other chars and fighting those 3 is just annoying. And the lag is so fucking awful. Also, Mega Man is not in Clouds favour. Tbh, I think that Mega Man is a Pretty good Cloud counterpick. At my locals, I have 0 chance against the MM. In Sm4sh, yeah, you could pick up Cloud without problems and win a lot. I just love Cloud, so I'm just glad he isn't "lame" anymore.
I really appreciate UA-cam showing me this at the top of my feed today. I had been doing great the last few days at Smash. I had been having fun and learning a lot even when losing. But today I just wasn't feeling well for some reason. I wasn't being able to read and punish my opponents and I was getting read like an open book. I got really salty after losing to a very defensive Lucina I usually win against. She was doing the exact same things over and over again, and while I saw many things coming a mile away, I failed miserably to punish them. As a result, I started getting tilted and playing worse. The match was even (mostly), but when I lost my last stock to an FSmash I actually saw coming, salt poured rapidly. I was really angry at myself and unconsciously yelled a couple times. Sad and unmotivated, I stopped playing and left. And when I reached my computer, I was welcome by this video. Thank you so much, BananaBoySSB! All your technical and mentality-related tutorials have helped me so much. Keep it up!
In a world where it's very easy to compare ourselves to others, strangers or not, it's understandable to hate losses. It only hurts more online because people will do anything in their power to upset you, usually for the sake of a few montage views. Words hurt, even through a video game.
I remember being in a very sweaty UMVC3 local against my opponent in grands. It was like my 7th time coming and I was glad to make it so far so fast. However, this also put a lot of pressure on my mind and I played bad. I went 0-3 and wanted to get mad out loud. But I just decided to shake hands, walk home, and get some studying done for my midterms coming up. It helped a lot and I felt a lot better afterward.
This is really helpful for me. Im almost certain I have anger issues, but it seems to only come out when I play someone I don't see. (Examples being a CPU, online, etc.) At first, I feel mad at the person for causing me to lose, but then it gets worse, I start to get mad at MYSELF, and this state lasts too long. I don't know where it came from, but whenever I lose to something I was pretty confident to win, or maybe just lost in general, I feel like a pile of shit who is worthless. This had never lasted over a day, as I don't go to tournaments, but it lasts up to 30 minutes if I don't distract myself. (My Advice) Recently, I have been trying to calm myself when I'm angry, and a good strategy I have found is to think/talk to yourself or someone else about anything, ANYTHING else than the match. Of course, this doesn't work for anyone, but just talking about something that isn't smash for a sec, like plans later or something, really helps. Thanks for reading, and thanks for the video Banana Boy!
I honestly relate a bit too much. I've been playing level 9 cpus and am going down the roster but whenever I use a level 3 to warm up and practice combos and other stuff I feel extremely fucking dumb. Like why would it choose to do 5 smash attacks in a row whenever I try to come close to pressure it. It's really frustrating to think the cpus will adapt as much as the level nines and do different options and actually play the game like a human.
Dude this is so good. Thank you. The tiers of salt, and acknowledging that real people have real reasons for getting salty, some of which might be deep. "There are so many other amazing things in the earth to do besides play smash." Your honesty. "I've been in situations where Smash was my only source of fulfillment, and it's definitely made me a lot less happy overall." Despite my anger issues (which I deal with elsewhere), I can have MUCH fun. I find I play MUCH better and handling losing MUCH better when I put the game in the 'right order'. Playing After I've done work, excercise, had good sleep, done some chores and maybe even another hobby is Always Fun and A Learning Time. I delight in the game, the intricacy, the art, good moves - anyone's. Zombie mode is when none of those are happening.
Ive had this game for 5 days, tryn'a learn to play snek. I had such bad nerves last night online that my opponent switched to gannondorf from their main and tried to get KOs with wizard punch. Honestly, I appreciate you sharing these tips, I learned a lot of it from mindfulness courses etc.... despite losing the match to someone who switch to one of the most unviable characters in the game because they were so certain they would stomp me, I felt good about the match (I lost but got gannon down to their last stock) because I primed myself to expect to lose before I even started the match. Keep up with your stuff, im learning so much from your videos. This game feels like learning league of legends all over again (memorizing every single moveset).
i swear it's almost creepy how you post a video on the exact thing im struggling with at a current moment in time like- seriously tho this is some good advice and i need to follow it. i've been getting a bit too salty lol
I just pretended to jokingly scream “I can’t beat anyone” even though I was actually upset at how I lost all my skill when making the transition from smash 4 to ultimate then I open the UA-cam app and this video is on my recommendations
I don't play smash but this video has been helpful to me regardless. I have this inner critic that thinks that I need to be perfect at everything immediately, except that that doesn't really work. It's good to hear from someone who plays a game somewhat professionally that they also lose and what they do, it's helpful.
The problem for me is I'm a perfectionist too. I don't have online and I haven't seen my friends in person in a while, so I play against CPUs, level 7 mostly yet I won my first level 8 match yesterday. I used to clap their cheeks, so I fell to overconfidence and got MY cheeks clapped. So, I got angry that I wasn't being perfect and that I was losing a lot of games, close ones albeit. I'm doing better now, but I still can improve. I wish you the best dude!
I respect that view, and only wish I could use it too. I'm not very smart, so even after 3 years of practice I still haven't improved at the Smash series at all. That's always at the front of my mind each loss, especially if the opponent taunts.
Imagine you won like 6-7 games in a row and you are close to elite smash. BUT than you join a guy with a horrible connection and you loose. RIP. These are the moments i loose it. I just can't be calm in this situations
I don't even have more than 1mil gsp with my main. and this game's highest gsp cap has already went up to 6.5mil edit:someone liked this, i came back and I reached 3mil. honestly, people here is just slightly better than low gsp, less flaws and more exciting to fight
Low gsp are the scum of scum. You get the side b spamming dks and ice climbers. You get the jokers who use ass stages. You get the nair spamming Ikes. The quitting to stop you gaining gsp fucks and the people who t-bag after using your mains best counter pick.
@Mnoy The Dededestroyer the thing is I lost my friends that would play with me in the past. Even if they still play with me, they have a skill level of a casual, and that certainly can't help me. My region is far from America, there's no competition here, locals are far away and there are only mid level players. I just can't bring myself to play this game seriously anymore
Honestly something that I've found helps a lot after a loss is, if you can handle it, to go up and talk to the person you lost to about the match. Ask them what they thought about the games, how you played, what they punished, etc., and maybe even play freindlies with them too. It always acts as a reminder that the person I lost to is human too, and that they're someone who is also incredibly passionate about the game and it becomes much easier to accept the idea of losing to them in your mind.
You're videos have helped me so much in my journey through competitive smash, and I really needed this one. I've gone from getting top 8 at my weekly to going 2-2 at best, and I really needed this to come back and reset my focus. Keep up the good work man, you're making a big difference in the smash community.
I’ve learned it helps to adopt 6 or 7 kids and complete and utterly destroy their self esteem by relentlessly beating them in smash 5 to 6 times a day each.
I've been playing competitive for 5 years now and I'm killing it in this game. HOWEVER, I recently went to my friend's bday party and we held a tournament where I lost to a predictable spammy Samus. I was so pissed. I knew all his habits when it came to being at the ledge, rolling, and whiffing. I don't want to pick that game up for a couple of days because of how pissed I am
I think one thing we forgot to mention is to not let people who are better than you affect your mentality if they tell you that you suck at the game. Also, put the word “yet” after every sentence if you are striving to get better. “I am not in Elite Smash, yet.” “I am not a winner at a local, yet.” “I am not proficient in Smash, yet.”
Another good thing to do in order to deal with a loss is to talk to the person you lost to. Be it asking for advice, talking about the match, just having a casual conversation, or playing friendlies with them afterwards. They’re usually the only ones that know what you were doing wrong during matches. Talking to them not only helps you play better in the future, but also helps relieve any sort of tension from the match.
I’ve lost to a friend that I have been beating for years, he has finally dethroned me at brawl. I will never be whole again. I probably won’t be able to play him again in many years since I’m moving. I am such shock, my mind keeps rushing to reasons why I lost- the map (battlefield and final destination) or maybe I was just rusty- he gave his copy to me a while ago. I feel like I have lost a piece of my childhood. Deadass.
I needed this. I would fall under the catagory of "normally a very calm and slow to anger person except when playing smash." Only in online games by myself do I actually rage lol.
Same, I could die 20+ times to my friend who is in the same room as me and not even feel a single negative emotion, but i play online, tense up during the match, and then get throw-the-damn-controller-and-shout levels of salt after I lose one online match. I don't get it.
I am out of words. To just explain where I've been for years. I lose time and time again and I have for the longest time, but I think I'm doing better if I'm actively seeking out ways to get success. Lets go banana boy
Idk if this is coincidence but I just went to Lan King (April 1st) with my friends to compete in one of my first tournaments. And got a huge awakening, I felt horrible but I got better and turned to your videos. They helped me understand a lot of things I did wrong and how to improve way more. Especially since I didn’t really main anyone, but was overall good (but not great) with most characters.
Thank you for making this vid. I once ran into a k rool spamming short hop fastfall nair, and i couldnt touch him without getting hurt. He also spammed crown cannonball. Very annoying. But i got over it with time. What i do to calm down is watch wholesome memes. I'm cooled down in SECONDS. Its magic.
I really DO feel like I’m losing at life when I lose at smash! Because my friends are striving for competitive level and I’m just not worth their time at my level of skill.
As a Mega Man main, it is super difficult to pull off victories in 1-on-1 tournies against other players with fucking annoying overpowered attacks. That being said, it only motivates me to become a better and more precise player despite wanting to tear my hear out.
Online losses are at least A or B tier because I always die from lag spikes and it gets very very frustrating after the 4th or 5th time against an opponent you know you could body easily without lag
Ugh, I got put up against a dark pit that I knew I could easily beat on a regular sized stage. I was playing Richter. I couldn’t win cause he kept running away and spamming B and Side B, which reflects projectiles, and I couldn’t catch up because the stages were too big. I got tilted bad.
I usually don't get salty in any way besides when I lose any match because of several bad misinputs. That can happen with any match, but mostly when I play online because I misinput a lot there. I know that you shouldn't get salty because of a friendly or an online match, but my problem always is that I think that I could have played way better if I didn't misinput.
3 months. This is one of my lower points so far. I realized that I still have a long way to go. I'm only 15 though, I think I'm trying to do things to fast. I push myself to accomplish life goals when I still have a whole life to live. I think I'm doing better, and I'll keep coming back here. Let's go banana boy, you have saved my life thus far.
Its one thing to lose, its another to lose while you were at a stock advantage, but choked so hard that you couldn’t even take your opponent’s last stock at 150% and lose. The “almost won” losses are the most debilitating, and its even worse if it happens multiple times over a single play session
I remember my first salty loss. To this day, I'm still a little pissed about it; but now it propels me to move forward and be better. I played Little Mac(Yeah, please save your "F"s) in S4 and first month of Ultimate. I was at a Smash 4 tournament and I was getting my best results(Losers 4th round. Little Mac has always been my burden, but I loved the guy. My next match was against THE best Mario main in Madrid. Smart, aggressive, fast, and technical. I lasted *20* seconds on the first match. After that I switched to Lucina, and lasted less than 10 seconds more than Mac. I got so frustrated that I went to freeplays, but that Mario player played me again and didn't take me seriously anymore. I hate it when someone does that, and I feel it at a personal level. I keep training. Hoping that one day I can play them again and beat them.
I’m just not improving. I don’t think I want to force myself to enjoy this game if losing will cause me this much immature grief. I’m at the point that I think taking an extended break will make me happier. This is just my thoughts tho, this video is good for people with more discipline skill and self esteem than me. Great video dude
I have a love/hate relationship with smash, sometimes I can have so much fun and feel like I've actually improved a bit, and other times I feel like smashing my switch onto the ground lol
As a salt inducer, (aka a Luigi main) have lost 5 games in a row. I was at my most high level of salt I could ever have. I then remembered about that one video of yours that I haven't watched. I open up youtube, type: "How to deal with losing", click on the first result and here I am, I now know about the secrets of salt. Thank you BananaBoy.
Unless you're MKLeo, wanting to win absolutely every single game you play is a fool's errand. Realizing this alone has helped me shake off a whole lot of the salt I used to get from losing! It also helps to remember that every match has to have a loser, so being there really isn't all that embarrassing most of the time.
@@groaning620 its a great move to punish landings and to setup grabs, but its not something that should be spammed aimlessly (unless you want to be predictable and get destroyed by people who actually know what to do with campy spammers). Though it does feel great to land a diagonal pk fire over the ledge, get them trapped in it, and then proceed to spike them into the abyss. Quite satisfying.
I went borderline suicidal after realizing how agonizingly bad I was playing against some of these super good players. I then decided to stick with either CPU's or playground for a little while, and it helped me have fun again until I was ready to play competitively again. Just something that worked for me.
What makes me get really mad is when I lose to someone that I had a stock advantage over. Because, in that situation, I have no one to blame but myself.
I'm considering quitting competitive Smash altogether because of how much the stress and pressure of the end result of the match fucks with my head. For me it's getting to the point where it's taking away the fun of Smash and my love for the game. It's really hard on my ego. I consider myself a humble person, and in the process of building confidence, but something about losing at this game is so painful that I'm starting to feel like it's not even worth the competition.
I know I'm incredibly late, but I feel the advice in this video may prove quite useful. As someone who has some pretty bad issues regarding depression, I often beat myself up after a loss, to the point where it feels like it's a confirmation that I'm bad at everything. Personally I find it useful to just take a break after that kind of thing. (Note: I'm also a new player and haven't even gone to a tournament, so I don't know how this will manifest when I start playing with higher stakes than just my ego)
I’ve never done a tournament, and probably never will, but if I did, here’s how I’d probably decide to handle things after watching this video: 1) Accept the loss and try to be a good sport about it. 2) Put myself in a room and scream the salt out. 3) Play Friendlies.
Its been only over a week, but I think I'm doing much better. I have a shot at going to my first tournament soon, and I'm keeping up practice. I hope things turn out good. See you then
Honestly good advice. For me I usually just get off the game and watch UA-cam or some video game soundtracks. It always works. Might feel like trash, but I’m happy accepting that I’m slightly above average trash.

When one is salty I suggest eating some non salt food to calm down since lack of food tends to anger people

It always acts as a reminder that the person I lost to is human too, and that they're someone who is also incredibly passionate about the game and it becomes much easier to accept the idea of losing to them in your mind.
You're videos have helped me so much in my journey through competitive smash, and I really needed this one. I've gone from getting top 8 at my weekly to going 2-2 at best, and I really needed this to come back and reset my focus. Keep up the good work man, you're making a big difference in the smash community.
I love your videos, every single video I've watched of yours has been of great use to me and has helped my journey for improvement. Thank you.
I’ve learned it helps to adopt 6 or 7 kids and complete and utterly destroy their self esteem by relentlessly beating them in smash 5 to 6 times a day each.
Did this to my little cousin on "accident".
I've been playing competitive for 5 years now and I'm killing it in this game. HOWEVER, I recently went to my friend's bday party and we held a tournament where I lost to a predictable spammy Samus. I was so pissed. I knew all his habits when it came to being at the ledge, rolling, and whiffing. I don't want to pick that game up for a couple of days because of how pissed I am
There is no life outside of smash.
I think one thing we forgot to mention is to not let people who are better than you affect your mentality if they tell you that you suck at the game.
Also, put the word “yet” after every sentence if you are striving to get better.
“I am not in Elite Smash, yet.”
“I am not a winner at a local, yet.”
“I am not proficient in Smash, yet.”
Usually I only get pissed when I’m playing against Pichu or Ganondorf, or a player who keeps spamming the same projectiles.
Dude SAME. I get so pissed losing neutral 4 times and there goes my stock hahahaha
Another good thing to do in order to deal with a loss is to talk to the person you lost to. Be it asking for advice, talking about the match, just having a casual conversation, or playing friendlies with them afterwards. They’re usually the only ones that know what you were doing wrong during matches. Talking to them not only helps you play better in the future, but also helps relieve any sort of tension from the match.
I’ve lost to a friend that I have been beating for years, he has finally dethroned me at brawl. I will never be whole again. I probably won’t be able to play him again in many years since I’m moving. I am such shock, my mind keeps rushing to reasons why I lost- the map (battlefield and final destination) or maybe I was just rusty- he gave his copy to me a while ago. I feel like I have lost a piece of my childhood. Deadass.
I love how this smash channel is basically giving us basic life lessons that we should have already known. Awesome info tho love. It feels genuinne
Tfw you accidentally sd 3 times in a single game and get bodied on the 4th stock
I needed this. I would fall under the catagory of "normally a very calm and slow to anger person except when playing smash." Only in online games by myself do I actually rage lol.
Same, I could die 20+ times to my friend who is in the same room as me and not even feel a single negative emotion, but i play online, tense up during the match, and then get throw-the-damn-controller-and-shout levels of salt after I lose one online match. I don't get it.
When someone at school challenges you to one match and then he surprises you by having FS meter on.
Thank you so much! I really have a bad habit about taking the game too seriously and this will help!
SS tier: Losing to someone with a broken controller
I am out of words. To just explain where I've been for years. I lose time and time again and I have for the longest time, but I think I'm doing better if I'm actively seeking out ways to get success.
Lets go banana boy
My man posts a video that isn’t a joke on april fools,👏👏👏 props to you my dude
Idk if this is coincidence but I just went to Lan King (April 1st) with my friends to compete in one of my first tournaments. And got a huge awakening, I felt horrible but I got better and turned to your videos. They helped me understand a lot of things I did wrong and how to improve way more. Especially since I didn’t really main anyone, but was overall good (but not great) with most characters.
S++++++ Tier: getting t bagged in quick play by a wolf/ganon/dedede/etc

Ikr :(
I thought it was generous
Thank you for making this vid. I once ran into a k rool spamming short hop fastfall nair, and i couldnt touch him without getting hurt. He also spammed crown cannonball. Very annoying. But i got over it with time. What i do to calm down is watch wholesome memes. I'm cooled down in SECONDS. Its magic.
I really DO feel like I’m losing at life when I lose at smash! Because my friends are striving for competitive level and I’m just not worth their time at my level of skill.
As a Mega Man main, it is super difficult to pull off victories in 1-on-1 tournies against other players with fucking annoying overpowered attacks. That being said, it only motivates me to become a better and more precise player despite wanting to tear my hear out.
This madman actually put up a serious video on April 1st
I’ve been getting a bit too salty this week, thank you so much for posting this
Online losses are at least A or B tier because I always die from lag spikes and it gets very very frustrating after the 4th or 5th time against an opponent you know you could body easily without lag
Ugh, I got put up against a dark pit that I knew I could easily beat on a regular sized stage. I was playing Richter. I couldn’t win cause he kept running away and spamming B and Side B, which reflects projectiles, and I couldn’t catch up because the stages were too big. I got tilted bad.
I don’t play smash competitively, but I really do enjoy playing ranked so love the videos keep them coming
That moment when u have 90% and you’re opponent is at 160% and then they kill u with a forward smash
5 months later and I still hate this

Thanks I was salty about losing to a campy Inkling for two days and I really hope to improve!
lol I'm MUCH better now
Losing online vs bad players is definitely a top tier for me
I usually don't get salty in any way besides when I lose any match because of several bad misinputs. That can happen with any match, but mostly when I play online because I misinput a lot there. I know that you shouldn't get salty because of a friendly or an online match, but my problem always is that I think that I could have played way better if I didn't misinput.
3 months. This is one of my lower points so far. I realized that I still have a long way to go. I'm only 15 though, I think I'm trying to do things to fast. I push myself to accomplish life goals when I still have a whole life to live. I think I'm doing better, and I'll keep coming back here. Let's go banana boy, you have saved my life thus far.
Its one thing to lose, its another to lose while you were at a stock advantage, but choked so hard that you couldn’t even take your opponent’s last stock at 150% and lose. The “almost won” losses are the most debilitating, and its even worse if it happens multiple times over a single play session
I remember my first salty loss. To this day, I'm still a little pissed about it; but now it propels me to move forward and be better.
I played Little Mac(Yeah, please save your "F"s) in S4 and first month of Ultimate. I was at a Smash 4 tournament and I was getting my best results(Losers 4th round. Little Mac has always been my burden, but I loved the guy. My next match was against THE best Mario main in Madrid. Smart, aggressive, fast, and technical.
I lasted *20* seconds on the first match.
After that I switched to Lucina, and lasted less than 10 seconds more than Mac. I got so frustrated that I went to freeplays, but that Mario player played me again and didn't take me seriously anymore. I hate it when someone does that, and I feel it at a personal level.
I keep training. Hoping that one day I can play them again and beat them.
I’m just not improving. I don’t think I want to force myself to enjoy this game if losing will cause me this much immature grief. I’m at the point that I think taking an extended break will make me happier. This is just my thoughts tho, this video is good for people with more discipline skill and self esteem than me. Great video dude
I have a love/hate relationship with smash, sometimes I can have so much fun and feel like I've actually improved a bit, and other times I feel like smashing my switch onto the ground lol
As a salt inducer, (aka a Luigi main) have lost 5 games in a row. I was at my most high level of salt I could ever have. I then remembered about that one video of yours that I haven't watched. I open up youtube, type: "How to deal with losing", click on the first result and here I am, I now know about the secrets of salt. Thank you BananaBoy.
I always find myself coming back to the this video with the amount of loses I rack up
SS+ Tier: Losing to a spammy kirby who turned on all items in great cave offensive
Your channel grew really fast 👏
Great vids, keep on going.
Unless you're MKLeo, wanting to win absolutely every single game you play is a fool's errand. Realizing this alone has helped me shake off a whole lot of the salt I used to get from losing! It also helps to remember that every match has to have a loser, so being there really isn't all that embarrassing most of the time.
Hey BananaBoy, in behalf of all Ness mains I apologize for that disgusting move by BestNess
I imagine he's still not over it haha
When i play ness i forget i have something called "pk fire" half the time. Despite me being a ness main for a long time.
@@groaning620 its a great move to punish landings and to setup grabs, but its not something that should be spammed aimlessly (unless you want to be predictable and get destroyed by people who actually know what to do with campy spammers). Though it does feel great to land a diagonal pk fire over the ledge, get them trapped in it, and then proceed to spike them into the abyss. Quite satisfying.
@@ShafroFos its a funny ness thing
groaning dwarf indeed
ive been struggling over this for a while thanks for the advice
Expected loss isn’t nearly as bad as online loss
I went borderline suicidal after realizing how agonizingly bad I was playing against some of these super good players. I then decided to stick with either CPU's or playground for a little while, and it helped me have fun again until I was ready to play competitively again. Just something that worked for me.
Should've gone through with it
What makes me get really mad is when I lose to someone that I had a stock advantage over. Because, in that situation, I have no one to blame but myself.
2 months later, and I'm still not doing that good, and its harder to stay motivated. Its rough, but I'm still trying.
I literally clapped my friend, and need this video for him
I'm considering quitting competitive Smash altogether because of how much the stress and pressure of the end result of the match fucks with my head. For me it's getting to the point where it's taking away the fun of Smash and my love for the game. It's really hard on my ego. I consider myself a humble person, and in the process of building confidence, but something about losing at this game is so painful that I'm starting to feel like it's not even worth the competition.
That bubbly vocaloid songs analogy is the realest thing I've ever heard, man.
Dude I slam my controller every time I lose online and I hate it, I always try to control it but I never can
I barely ever rage in 1v1s, now Ultimate FFAs make me scream with everything going on during the screen.
“Y’all” is that a fellow Texan I hear
He's from Utah
Everybody in the south says that tho....
We say that in Virginia too!
And Florida..
"this has the potential to really boost your happiness and make losing at smash makes you feel like losing at life"
i already lost pal
s-tier coping strat:
just put your favourite jam on, and relax. Music is always my go-to probably because its something i can't lose at
"Hug the nearest Steve plushie," aged in a really interesting manner
when I lose with my main 2-3 times in friendlies, I play random to calm down and stop caring
I searched "why do we hate losing" and it naturally brought me to the cause of my search. A smash player lol
“If you do have anger issues then I don’t know google it... I don’t know much about that stuff... sorry....”

I just lost in a smash ultimate tournament at school, on the first round too. Thanks for this.
I know I'm incredibly late, but I feel the advice in this video may prove quite useful.
As someone who has some pretty bad issues regarding depression, I often beat myself up after a loss, to the point where it feels like it's a confirmation that I'm bad at everything.
Personally I find it useful to just take a break after that kind of thing.
(Note: I'm also a new player and haven't even gone to a tournament, so I don't know how this will manifest when I start playing with higher stakes than just my ego)
I’ve never done a tournament, and probably never will, but if I did, here’s how I’d probably decide to handle things after watching this video:
1) Accept the loss and try to be a good sport about it.
2) Put myself in a room and scream the salt out.
3) Play Friendlies.
1:49 you forgot Echo lol the chorus lyrics literally include “I don’t know how to fight” I just thought it was fitting lol
1:09 this is the most satisfying clip I've ever seen.
Its been only over a week, but I think I'm doing much better. I have a shot at going to my first tournament soon, and I'm keeping up practice. I hope things turn out good. See you then
Easiest way I'd say to have a good loss, make friends with your opponent beforehand. But this also just comes down to good sportsmanship
"winning or losing in friendlies doesnt matter"
and yet i still get upset at losses in friendlies and act toxic as my first instinct
Don’t take smash seriously if you get toxic at those kinds of losses then.
I always come back to this vid when I'm having a bad day and lose in tournament early.
Honestly good advice. For me I usually just get off the game and watch UA-cam or some video game soundtracks. It always works. Might feel like trash, but I’m happy accepting that I’m slightly above average trash.
That Vocaloid joke made me laugh way harder than it should have. When you switch from Mitchie M to Crusher P
I used to destroy my controller in fits of rage and constantly walk 35 minutes to GameStop as punishment towards my short fuse.
