- Are you caught in the trap of self-criticism? This lie is holding you back from true progress.
Next video you should watch: • Mastering Fighting Gam...
You've been told to keep the grind, but the truth is, that's not what you need to level up. This lie is holding you back from true progress.
This video dives deep into how constantly hitting the grind and being self-critical is actually a lie that holds you back in fighting games. Everyone says to push harder, but that's not the way to grow. The toxic culture of the FGC, the relentless comparison, and the harsh self-criticism are stopping you from truly feeling good about your progress. If you think that getting stronger will make you feel fulfilled later on, you're wrong. I'll show you why self-compassion, not a war against yourself, is the key to improving at fighting games and feeling satisfied in your journey. You are enough right now, and you don't need to earn the right to feel good about your growth.

this is something I just talked to my therapist about 😭 I've realized when I win it never feels like an accomplishment but just something my opponent handed to me by making mistakes. I always assumed that voice in my head telling me "you didn't win there by your own skill but just by reacting to opponents fucking up" was a way to show me when I actually improve instead of winning by luck, and its actually still really hard for me to accept that I should feel good about these situations. Its just as a logical person I can't reason my brain to congratulate myself for these wins I wonder if other people feel this way too?
Good thing to hear other therapist talked to you about this too. Yeah this vid was totally a therapy talk disguised with anime and fighting game pictures and sounds. I’m also a psychologist so I’m pulling from both the gaming and professional side.
Good thing is our brains are highly reasonable. We can brute force our way to changing how we think about things.
I used to feel this way too until I reframed my perspective on competition.
The player that makes less mistakes usually wins. The one that capitalizes better on their opponent’s mistakes almost always wins.
‘I’m just going to make less mistakes and kill them for theirs’ is a legitimate competitive strategy. It’s a core tenant of high level play in any game.
So I take pride in playing stable, clean, efficient now. It’s what I like to do, how I like to win, and so every time I do it, that’s an accomplishment to be celebrated, if only for a moment or two.
@@WeMissDimebag exactly. It's why I'm so foucsed on consistent strategies. Mistakes will happen, bad choices will happen, unlucky does happen. Hoever you can control how much the luck hurts you and you can make your own luck by forcing mistakes in the opponent. The higher level you get the more important this becomes because obvious gaps are less
Thank you so much @@TrickyEileen.
Proof that video games make you a better human being. Well done and thank you for sharing 😊
You’re blend of self improvement, fighting games and emotional awareness is right up my alley
Thanks, it's my thing :D
This is so applicable, even outside FGC
That’s my secret. Fighting games are my Trojan horse to help y’all live better lives
Nice overhead cross up @@TrickyEileen
Man... It's like you're talking to me directly on this video lbs. Appreciate the words of encouragement 🙌🏿
I’m glad to reach you. I figured a lot of us need to hear this message
This is about much more than fighting games. This is about life
Yes this is deeper than the game itself.
Talking about how being hard on yourself poisons any achievement you get is spot on. I'd go so far as to say association and conditioning is THE biggest aspect of self-improvement. If being hard on yourself leads to a positive outcome, you will come to associate that feeling with reward. What happens, though, is you're now conditioned that much more to continue to adopt that mindset because that's what worked for your goal. It eventually saps any happiness you can get because you almost physically can't comprehend a positive mental attitude with accomplishment
Exactly it. And that’s why it’s so hard to break because it gets reinforced often enough that you keep doing it. But once you get used to the other way, you find it will be more efficient and faster
ily for promoting this type of positivity. you the best
☺️
To me this feels similar to being a visual artist who is always finding validation of your art, trying to get likes online, publication, or comparing your self to another artist and never being satisfied. Double hating myself being an artist and being a fighting game player
Yeah I had to confront these same issues as a musician in my teens. You can be good and still have much to work on. But never forget, you’re still good
Maaaaaaan I practiced ducking and launching in tekken for like 5-10 minutes because I'm trash at it. Then in literally the next match used multiple times because a law was throwing out stuff i could use it on. Those interactions alone felt better than the win....I understand now the feeling of practice-implemening and its so satisfying.
Hey, I have been playing fighting games for 8-9 years now, and I started when I was ~20. I'm going through a lot for the lessons that players go through when they are younger, and as an adult player is see the pitfalls for frustration that younger players can fall into(including ones I've fallen into myself). I think what you're doing is really good, and that a lot of people will benefit from your experiences and perspective. Thanks for posting, loving the channel!
This is a lesson I’ve been trying to instill in myself my whole fgc journey. What really got it to set in was shifting my definition of being good at it to mean knowing what I’m doing instead of being better than my opponent. I’m still trash but now I play to test myself and see my progress and it makes realizing I still have things to learn so EXCITING
Yes this is the joy of fighting distilled
Fighting games are one of the things in life where you're chasing the horizon. There is no end. It is journey and only journey.
Daaaang I needed this. As many things that I've won, it only felt good because of the relief of winning, then within the hour, the anxiety of needing that next win to validate myself sets in. Sheesh. I still haven't fully escaped that mindset, but it hilighting it like this at least helps me identify it better. Thanks for this.
You are so real for this and your welcome
This video comes out right now and literally a few hours earlier I was fighting my friend at his house. Every time he complimented me saying I played well I said that “I am not good you just don’t block low” and I could sense that he really tried to drive in the compliment, but I kept deflecting it and chucking it to either luck, or pointing out that he made a mistake and it wasn’t me being “good” that caused it to happen. This video called me on my bs right after it happened to me live. Marvelous video!
Haha you’re welcome and thank you. 😊 maybe you can take that compliment next time ?
Fun fact: a huge part of fighting games is reckognizing patters and mistakes from the opponent and punishing them. So if your friend is not blocking low, and you are abusing this, that's actually good!
I legit have the best comment section
This video is right on time! I was definitely one of the people that thought they needed to grind harder and it *DID* burn me out. I had to take a hiatus and reframe my thinking for sure. Great video Tricky!!!
Yes 👍🏾 so many of us have had those experiences. It can be better, there is a better way. Glad you found it
Super thankful for you putting out these kinds of vids, if only to have them to share with friends who are struggling with these sorts of mindset issues in fighting games. I had a real conversation once with someone talking about how the mutual friend they were running the set with was "so good dude" and saying "he's just better, I can't do anything."
My guy WON THE SET 10-8, but couldn't bring himself to acknowledge his improvement or enjoy the success.
Yeah it literally rips the joy out from the activity
Thank for this. You said something that deep down I have already known I shouldn’t do but I think i couldn’t find an alternative action that were kind to myself. Thanks for showing me them.
You are so welcome!
Hey, just really wanted to thank you for making this video. I started playing fighting games a year ago & I definitely see improvement, but I definitely struggle with being nice to myself as soon as I make mistakes. I get too prideful to admit it but honestly you helped me realize it's definitely something I need to work on.
Your welcome. Being kinder takes work and kindness to yourself in the process of learning to do it to. It’s a cycle
This came at the perfect time when i needed to hear this the most. Thank you so much for the video! I'm gonna take the advice and give myself some much needed love and time and come back stronger!
Yes 🙌 you got this
Recently made it to Diamond in SF6 and I’m pretty happy about it. Never managed more than Silver in V. I think it’s partly because I enjoy the game more, but I’ve also enjoyed just learning how to play in general too. Agree that enjoying the process is key to this hobby.
Enjoying the process is key to life. All is but a series of processes linked throughout our lives
Great mentality to go about the way we all approach fighting games. I had my moment like this long ago after competing in SC, and this video is a good reminder to be easier on myself. Cheers, Tricky!
been playing on and off since 2014 and just now that I started doing trauma work did I realize that it's not remotely healthy to have 8-12 hour days every day of the week playing ranked. A lot of shame going on over here. Life is so much better on the other end. I still get triggered but sitting with it and crying feels so much better. I love the work that you do with your youtube channel!!
Thank you for the vulnerability in the comment and glad to hear you made it to the other side
i like this editing style, i think its cool to speed up the flow of information. i think it would be great to see both this and the more relaxed stream clip style content. glad to see you flourishing tricky
Yeah the relaxed vibe is my stream vibe. For the Algo, I gotta grab the scrollers before they get distracted.
I’ll try to keep a mix cuz it takes me too long to edit this style
@@TrickyEileenoh you did the editing yourself? well done! it looks like it took forever
Yeah I edit my own stuff except for the times when avatar yaya did a couple. I make sure to always credit him when he does tho.
But yeah the stuff you been seeing is my work
I think the fgc perpetuates this by saying "you dont play the real X until u reach rank y (usually the highest rank with 1% of players) online i feel like i cant share me feeling good about reaching Diamond in sf6 because i know people will laugh at it and say until im high master i aint done nothing yet. As someone with imposter sydrome its very harsh to hear people downplay your achievments, since its hard for myself to feel like ive earned anything. I remember studying for latin, failing my exam and then spend two weeks studying like crazy and managing to pass the exam. I felt like i just had luck, wasnt really my achievment, instead of feeling good about it, i felt ashamed how bad i was before, how could i fail? So many people passed but im obv to dumb to do it. I try my best to see my victories as such but the voice in my head keeps telling me i just had luck or fooled everybody into thinking im x, y, z. Anyway thanks for the vid, it felt carthartic
They downplay you because they still feel like imposters. It’s a projection on to you that is spread across the fgc as tough love. When in reality it’s just fear of being a failure. No amount of achievements will rid one of imposter syndrome. You just have to develop self confidence
Also who cares if it’s luck. I’d rather be consistently lucky 🍀
for what it’s worth, congrats on diamond! people underrate just how much effort goes into getting there
@@azu1394 thank you, im rising slow and steady
I've had to revisit this a few times since the Twitch stream and it's starting to pay off. You're always such a help. So glad I found your channel.
I’m glad I have the vods for people. I might actually start linking the full vods for people to find easily who want the full discussion. I cut a lot of the random moments and like 15 sec pauses between words at times. I had to really think that long between words sometimes.
I needed this video cause i have been beating myself up sbout my descent from Tekken king all the way to fujin. I have even said my character was trash and im trash. I definitely needed this uplifting. I would love to pick your brain more some more on subjects like this.
This is the most concious fgc vid ive ever witnessed, mylady. Keep it up!
I understand what my peers have been telling me now, thank you for this video
This so real. MDD does legit make it harder
The intensity of the music made this feel like an intervention 😂. You’re amazing Eileen.
Thnx. It kinda is one at least in the fgc space. I think this is a serious issue in the scene
Thanks for the video. The self-war is endless, without victors and there's no cavalry coming to the rescue. It's fucked up how I can be kind and nurturing to the people I play with and who I want to see improve, and then I turn around and tear myself down to the foundations. Forgot why I even play these games in the first place.
Our friends are the Calvary
It’s crazy I’m watching this now. Holy thank god! Great video it helped me tons as I watched.
Glad you liked it!
Uh thinking too much makes me feel unhappy, thanks for this video ✨
Dunno how to respond but You’re welcome 😊
This is why I'm subscribed! I came for the tekken every so often but stay for the wisdom! 👏🏿👍🏿 Good job again.
Haha thnx. These types of vids are hardest to make cuz the content doesn’t inherently grab folks who need to hear it. So I came up with some tricks to see if I can reach folks better.
I needed to hear this today.
and I'm glad you were able to
Thank you for the video, I needed this.
Glad it was helpful!
Great stuff as always! Thank you!
Your welcome 🙏
100% appreciate what you're saying, and agree.
You are very welcome
you have a lot of inspirational shorts in this one video !
Thnx yeah I’ll turn into shorts a bit later. TikTok first
I just hit Fugen rank last night. Thank you for putting your wisdom out there. Overall I'm in a better place now both in the game and outside of it!😅
Appreciate this video a lot, being kind to yourself is so much harder than it sounds. There's plenty of trash talk to go around without doing mental self harm.
Unrelated, with the confirmation that a new VF is on the way, I would actually really like to dedicate some time to learning VF5. I have noticed lately that I don't like that games "die," in fact I want to make it a focus of my channel to play lesser known fighting games and try to get people to play them more. We have so many new people in the FGC, which is great, but there are so many under explored classics that really deserve just a little bit of spotlight on them, and I want to encourage new players to be curious about older fighting games. So, since VF is a huge blind spot for me, it's a good opportunity for me to put my money where my mouth is, so to speak. What's the best way to find people to play with and learn from? I went ahead and joined the discord, I'll probably post some version of this message over there as well.
There are weekly battles online organized by Akai. Best thing is follow the game on twitch and you’ll see when he streams the rooms. They’re rooms almost every night
I think it actually starts with character selection for a lot of people. I think a lot of people follow tier charts or beginner guides to pick a main but Fighters aren't like moba's and I think it's important to enjoy the mechanics/looks/feel of what you're physically doing. Having fun while you're training and having matches changes how you see the grind. I still think it's good to pay attention to what's strong at a "high level" it will be easier to switch when you have a solid foundation.
Yeah and knowing what is strong helps you find out how to do that with your chosen character too.
To me, the goal of getting better at my favorite FGs is that i can have fun and exciting matches with other people that like to play. Grinding for the top can be a nice adventure, but it's better do it with the right mentality. And i also love to do cool stuff for the reactions and lols
ya having diff goals about enjoying HOW you play the game is key
Wow, never heard of you before (Street Fighter player from across the world); but you've a new fan.
Welcome to the crew
You honorstly right about the whole ranked asecept,i always Saw ranked as a mental gym, Im not sure if can apply to same things. I had bunch of ranked anxiety. But i felt after hearing this from you helped me alot. Like Loving myself
fighting games are the mental gym imo too. Emotions are part of the mind :D
@@TrickyEileen Yeah ^_^
Amazing video. I have defo been in negative headspaces when it comes to this game feeling like if I'm not winning or can't maintain GoD then I'm trash.
But gladly I've not felt like that for a good while. This video defo reminds me that I'm going about things the right way now and I just have to notice fast enough and stop if I slip back.
Also I really love this bit 11:03 cause this is super actionable advice. Even noticing something that you should do (let's say a move you newly learned is punishable) but failing to execute the punish is a positive thing in that you've started the process of being able to respond correctly to a situation.
Yes the noticing comes first. Instead of punishing itself, celebrate you now know to punish and will get it in time
Dope content...Thanks
Your welcome 🤗
I really needed to hear this. I'm relatively new to fighting games (bought tekken 8 and sf6 a few months ago) and I feel like I was often getting so mad at myself while playing, mostly worrying about my rank points instead of actually just focusing on having fun and feeling proud of those little moments when you notice an improvement. I will try my best to be kinder to myself and just enjoy the ride of my fighting game journey 🫡
thank you for the video!!
Enjoy the trip. It’s about the journey
I definitely needed this tricky and I absolutely agree with everything said here
I got your back
I've never seen your content before, and i have to say, you give one hell of a motivational speech. Thanks so much. Outside of 3 games, I'm not great at fighting games, but i love playing them none the less. It can get frustrating getting destroyed sometimes, but I'm having more than enough fun to keep coming back. I'm generally good against friends, but online, not so much lol.
Edit: just wanted to let you know that i subbed to you. Looking forward to seeing more of your perspective on fighting games.
Thnx! Yes enjoy the fun of playing the game. Online is a death pit of killers
love this video. totally agree!
I’m so happy 😀
I had to save my mom from herself with this mentality a couple months ago. She's a Repiratory Therapist who kind of got screwed out of her job a year or two back and had to retake a license test that became exponentially harder to pass post covid. She failed twice and had to succeed on the third or else she would have to wait another FOUR months before being allowed to take it again. She was so discouraged and hard on herself after those initial failures that she was at risk of losing the third without even going there and giving it another try. When I talked with her about it I put every single ounce of my being into acting cool and confident in front of her and reassured her that she had the capacity to do the thing that she was trying to even if it was clear that she didn't think that she could. I kept on reaffirming and reminding her that it wasn't over yet and that the worst thing she could do was to take that doubt, fear, and frustration, into her third test. She was being too hard on herself and I could see that if she kept it up she would absolutely have flunked. She just barely passed her third test and now she's currently job searching. NEVER let that little bastard of a devil fool you into losing control at the worst moment. In many ways our reactions are involuntary, but we each have the capacity to remind ourselves to keep calm and take deep steady breaths in the heat of the moment.
I remember when I realized that taking a break (even a long break) made me stronger it felt like a magic trick. Just so unintuitive based on the grinding mindset I grew up with
Same. Grinding mindlessly might have worked in the past, but it’s unsustainable
@@TrickyEileen it works for very short term goals, it's detrimental for long term goals
@@alexonstott4954 right. it's like going Kaiyoken x20. You can do it but your body takes a toll so you can not overuse it
There was a really good Polygon video about beginners picking up fighting games and a section about how players should not just see themselves as win rates. Max Dood reacted to it and also added that people shouldn't feel worse when they lose because there is still a benefit to learning in losses, probably even more so. And also how the archaic nature of many fighting games should incentivise their players more instead of zero sum punishing players who are just learning their games and how players today are still hard pressed into thinking it should be this pointless and painful when in reality people just didn't have QoL back in the day that are generally positives now.
Anyway, this is a FANTASTIC video! As much as I love pro tip videos and the like, having more people talk about the holistic nature of the beast is a much needed thing and highly appreciated 🙏
ya the games we play give us so much to learn from, about ourselves
This is the most conscious fgc vid ive ever witnessed, mylady. Keep it up!
Wow, thanks!
I heard someone say this the other day and it struck me as absurdly simple but important: talk to yourself like a friend.
Which, I suppose, is predicated on the idea that you treat your friends well, but let's just assume that.
yeah it is predicated on that idea. Everyone doesn't have that so I don't really use it. It can backfire wildly in my experience.
the title made me think this was a drama video until i saw you uploaded it 😭
wait is that a good thing?
there is a wonderful statistic about happiness levels and olympic medal winners (years later). it seems that silver and bronze medal winners go on to live happier lives than gold medal winners. it's as if they realise that they have make happiness within themselves, because it won't come from a place outside you.
in short... you cant control your happiness spikes. but there are things you can do to raise you happiness baseline.
Yeah it’s harder to force yourself to confront the reality of winning doesn’t bring happiness or validate the suffering you put yourself through to get there. Since so few do get to that point, and even fewer choose to share th reality of the journey, I felt like I could help the fgc out here.
I had a similar experience playing with a new guy at my local scene. I was taking him down consistently, but I had to condede that he's actually the better player, just not used to my bs yet lol.
Knowing how to deal with bs is part of what makes you atm better. The bs doesn’t stop at high levels. It just changes. bs is ubiquitous
I went to my locals for the second time ever this week. The last time I went, I got absolutely destroyed. Didn't win a single match. This time, I won one match! Was super proud lol
It's so interesting to me how fighting game meta talk will often bring in this strong element of self-improvement and things that even sound a bit like mindfulness at times but it totally makes sense as I've gotten deeper into various games. We play the games to feel good, and we feel good when we win, right? Sure, but I think tangible improvements are what are really thrilling, and tying this to our self-worth is obviously dangerous, especially when expectations of how long something should take don't meet reality.
Also I think the facts that our cultures thrive on stories/narratives/legends with discernible arcs and climaxes, and that our sense of time can be really distorted by our emotions, both help to occlude the simplicity of patient, continual growth day-by-day, while continuing to treat ourselves right and not neglect other areas of our life.
We all suppress and oppress ourselves in all kinds of stupid ways that we sometimes don't even question, in all areas of our life that we let slide, but I think we start noticing we have to make a change pretty quick when this mentality affects our source of fun. Anyway great talk, sorry for the essay.
Yes the mindfulness stuff and self improvement. I think it has to do with the martial arts. We are martial artists but within the context of video games. So a lot of the philosophy of fighting pops up.
I have always thought if my fighting style as ‘zen fighter’. Tho I only really activate it when I’m locking in or in a tournament set. Complete utter focus on the present moment.
I was legit just thinking about this earlier today ... UA-cam is Reading my mind lol
it really does be doing that tho. The algo knows
Sometimes people say “you shouldn’t care about losing or ranked or even a local or whatever”
And I think people take that the wrong way, we are competitors we want to win, losing doesn’t feel good and even in something that “doesn’t matter” like ranked it’s still frustrating to lose 3 or 4 games and feel like you’re regressing.
It’s important to care, the “don’t care about losing” for me isn’t pretending it doesn’t matter it’s understanding my self worth, my skill level isn’t determined by a loss or a bad ranked session or whatever, it’s a moment in time and that’s it.
The goal should be getting better and improving over a long period for time and not letting bad performances get to you
Key phrase being over a long period of time. People get too impatient. It’s a marathon
This is actually good advice but I have massive ego issues so I felt compelled to grind ranks (and now I'm stuck because I'm playing against every tekken god's pocket Heihashi when I play an alt but that's a different problem), even though it's a flawed system that don't mean much. And as a consequence I can barely find any fun in the game at all except when I play against a friend. It takes extreme self control for me to play with a mindset of improving myself. But if I fail so much as a sidestep and get punished for it, I feel like I suck, I become absolutely toxic and the main reason I don't break my hardware is because I'm too poor to buy it back if I did. My absolute lack of patience makes me my own worst matchup... gotta work on that. Even winning just makes me feel like I got more lucky than the opponent on 50/50's and abusing matchup knowledge.
Right. Your battle is inside. Not the game
I can beat my friends more often than I don't. That's good enough for me.
Alot of this really hits home but when it comes to ranked aside from fatigue I'm just plain scared for whatever reason and as such play very infrequently. not really sure how to over come that.
gotta think about what makes you scared
@TrickyEileen I think it probably has to do with losing and that feeling of frustration that comes with it , having to feel like shit when I lose. It's not like I can't take a loss but that feeling you get when you are either on a losing streak or just fighting a character that completely stumps you that is what I'm probably afraid of. I tend to be able to get over it but I kinda hate feeling upset in the first place it's as if I'm scrubby for feeling a little salty. It's not like I get really mad or anything but the salt is there for sure.
I stopped ranked once i hit platinum with my jamie online.
I embraced casuals online and it's a million times better. I now have more fun just like when I do at locals and events. ❤
at locals and events, where there are no rank badges, just players
Girl, I love your message, it’s super good stuff, and I hate how jumpy and speedy your editing is. It’s a little jarring to watch. I’m not trying to dunk on you at all, this is still good stuff, I just wanted to give some feedback. If this was taken from a live stream with lots of pauses and reactions to chat and whatnot and you wanted to tighten it up into a more cohesive message, I’m not sure about how you would make it feel more smooth other than doing a second take and writing a script based off of the great insights you have. Your perspective is great and more people need to hear this stuff.
You’re read of the reason for the cuts are dead on. 😅. I do have the full twitch vid it’s from if you wanna see it unedited. It’s like 40 min
Oh here’s the full vid if you want it without all the jumps www.twitch.tv/videos/2262988293
Cool, thanks for sharing! Love the content :-)
yeah, my locals feel like clouded by this mentality lately. i wish people would try to relax a bit and take rests like you've suggested.
There's also this mentality that if you lose, it was all 100% your fault, completely removing the fact that there is another person on the other end of that equation. I think ego is what causes us to belittle our opponent and believe that our actions/mistakes are the only thing that stand in the way of winning more matches. Yeah, they play a part, but if you don't respect your opponent, how are you ever going to learn from what they're using against you?
This self-flagellation also creates animosity amongst players in tight-knit groups (like at locals),. Eventually you even get mad at your friends or talk shit about their characters or playstyle or whatever, making them feel bad or just being a jerk in general, instead of raising each other up. That shit is why the US sucks at big tournaments, because we don't get what it means to build one another up. Everyone is out for themselves and F everyone else.
yeah this is the biggest issue we have at the local level. It can suck the joy out of the game. And the people doing this tend to basically have nothing else going on in their lives but the game. So despite being trash level skill wise, they hold on to this strange animosity towards people who aren't wrapping up their self worth with their skill. Paradoxally , the releasing of your ego with your play will make you far stronger. IMO you literally can not get strong with a bad ego. The ego is where strength goes to die.
@TrickyEileen agree with this 100%, it just gets in the way of improvement and mucks up any attempt at self analysis.
Overwatch (the first one) was a game that made me so angry. It was frustrating being a tank but because i constantly let my ego get the better of me, making me blame everyone but myself for my failures. I sometimes get to that point playing Tekken, but it's rarer because I spend time trying to work at that ego, and in fighting games, you have no teammates to blame.
Yeah. I played both OW’s and as a mediocre Aimer it was frustrating to say the least.
I can’t keep up with this new editing style. I need to let some things be digested before the next information is relayed to me.
That is super valid. They’ll be a mix between this extreme and the more typical format. Bear with me as I find the balance plz
@@TrickyEileen Thank you.
4:59 that part!
Facts
Got it, it’s about the process not the end goal. Very wise words. Thank you.
I think in tekken a good way to get better is to play against a character 1000 times, and lab stuff that’s annoying to you. Only then to find out that shit is broken😂😂😂 and there’s no way out. Fukkkk!!!! Nerf Devil Jin btw. And buff Dragunov.
You like chaos I see
I can't watch this. What's with the constant cuts? It's like there is no breathing room between lines
Oh here’s the full vid if you want it without all the jumps www.twitch.tv/videos/2262988293
Get over yourself. The video is super positive, and you have to find something to complain about.

You will improve either way.

Wow everything i learned is a lie....nice video
Nice 👍🏾
bro this is the attitude esports fans have towards games period because everyone is so results based. its either win or lose and thats it. you can have the best season the sport ever seen but if you dont win the "big game" your trash and you choked.everything you did before that is almost completely forgetten and if you bring it up its copium. i follow tekken and league and cs for a while now. there are people that have been historically top 3 EVER in the game. if they dont win the next few tourneys theyre washed. some people even called them overrated. its not only toxic to yourself but to the scene and how people make narratives in general. you can win 100 game if you dont win game 101 your trash and not enough. as esports has shown over and over if you dont win the next game its never enough. its really frustrating when people show or say those.i get competition is competition but lets be a bit kinder
I hear you, but I'm still trash 😅
The screams you hear at 2:41 is where you’re at lol. I hope you find your way out the fire 🔥
The way its cut gives me a headache
Here’s the 4 hr vid if you prefer www.twitch.tv/videos/2262988293
I hope you make new videos soon!
I will. Just started the new job so had to slow down a bit
I just say gg, but the communication is very toxic i just say gg gg gg
ya, well that tells you what that's about already
am i allowed to link a video i made on tekken so Eileen can see it lmao or is that big ban territory
I’ll allow it since you asked. It better be fire 🔥
@@TrickyEileen you're my fav tekken content creator! your words have a ring of truth that resonates far further than the game itself, and judging by the rest of the comments here i'm far from the only one who appreciates the effort. thanks! (also i'm bushin now lmao)

Vid made me laugh. Ty for sharing
Sucks for me cause I play better and lock in if I get pissed 😂
depends what you're pissed at
@@TrickyEileen usually at them for trying to cheese me or flowchart thinking I can’t adapt or see the windows of opportunity
@@angelsaucedo9227 oh you mean a free win ? lol
@@TrickyEileen yea it’s free but super frustrating having to adapt to that like I constantly go on streaks rn solely cause I whiff punish and interrupt mashing I have to get out these low ranks already 🙄
@@angelsaucedo9227 keep at it, you'll get there
I like the idea of this video but the constant cuts and edits leave it very difficult to contemplate on any single point made before being hit by the next. There's no time to think or even take in what's being said.
true, it was paced very fast. for slower version check out www.twitch.tv/videos/2262988293
This video is going too fast for me to absorb any information.....
Thankfully playing things back is an option
And slower playback speed
@@Hai_teck yes that one too ! If you want the real normal pace you can watch the 4hr twitch vod this came from.
No joke tho, the frantic pace was deliberate. Seems to perform better on YT than my slower paced conversations on this topic especially.
Playing the best players is how you become good.......an age old lie. Losing to someone 100 times in a row is demoralizing and does not help you get better. But I heard this for 20 years, play people who are better than you......an age old lie and I dont care if everyone disagrees.
it's only demoralizing if you have the wrong mindset about it. The loss isn't he issue, the gap isn't the issue. How we think about the beat down is the problem
I just play to see juri's feet
Ah you’re the player I was talking about then. I was wondering when you’d show up
Keep up your content! It is very needed! 🫶🏾
More to come!
