    Hey bro, love the video as always. Just wanna say when I asked about how you stay calm while losing on another video you gave me a good response. And I’ve been incorporating your attitude of learning as a goal instead of winning, I’ve actually managed to calm myself down and enjoy the games I play a LOT more. I used to only be able to tolerate a few games online before my clammy hands and heartbeat made me want to get offline. Now I can chill and play fighting games while enjoying myself, and it’s in part because of your instruction. So thank you!

      @nintendork9207 2 роки тому +2

      @@AdriAhmad His response (far as I can parse), was just explaining his own process, you have to actively reframe your mind to set the goal of learning from your sets, not winning them. By doing that, you set yourself up to spend the energy you waste on getting mad about a loss you can't undo on looking back on your decisions in the set and thinking about how you could have played better, where you made mistakes, or what you weren't prepared for that you might wanna keep an eye out for in the future.

      @@AdriAhmad Yes I will try to go find the comment and I’ll tell you what he said. I think the most important thing I did was deliberately and VERY consciously started taking deep breathes and telling myself to calm down when I felt like I was getting worked up. I really did try to take every match and feel happy for the things I did right, and not worry about the things I did wrong. It took a lot of deliberate effort to retool my brain into having fun, I at one point couldn’t play more than 1-2 matches without getting so angry/worked up that I would get offline. The best tip he gave me was to take each match as a learning experience, and it was hard to feel that way at first when I would lose but now I genuinely am doing that.

    SFxTekken had big stages to make up for the high corner carry in the juggle combos, but it had the unintended side effect of giving characters way too much space to retreat and lame out opponents. Really sad that one poor design choice overshadowed so many good ones (after the 2012 patch fixed the poor gem decisions and nerfed recoverable health).

      he’s talking about the JoJo’s Capcom fighting game.
      the first version came out Dec 1998. Rabbit’s Saturn port released in 1997. AFAIK the arcade version never released, but it looks like the location test must’ve been sometime in 1996.
