Ex Millia player, in there game is no more virtuosity and potential. All these respected and hype top players jump from the meta SS tier toys to another, and gets more buffs.

33:22 I'd like to point out: if you're _an everyday guy,_ you learn science by taking the word of experts. If you're a scientist of a field yourself, when you see an expert make a claim the first thing you do is _check their work._ Everyone needs to get peer-reviewed, even geniuses. It's not that strange that FG players shouldn't just borrow their opinions wholesale from big names, we're all in the same field :) Fuck he says it 10 seconds after I write my post. Damn he's good
if someone says some shit on a topic I find interesting or want to agree with the first thing I do is try and check their work or their sources and understand more for myself.
Telling yourself not to talk shit to yourself is cognitive behavioral therapy. It's very real. I struggled with mental for a solid 5 years in the fgc, for years before in other competitive games but I believe it was in large part that I never learned to lose as a kid. Now, with help, I've finally gotten to a better place. But I think this is underrated in importance by a lot of people. Maybe that's just because it was such a big deal for me. But to me this should be the very very first thing addressed if it's a regular issue for you.
Sharing your experience and growth was great to listen to , reflecting and figuring things is part of the process and you just need to work thru it. Thanks LK.
The only reason "Being random" is "derogatory" is cause people are bitches. There's value in being random, and the term only highlighting that a particular player might be playing without a game plan, which has pros and cons.
weird that people use random as an insult when they lose ;). The biggest thing I heard from players when I won was "You literally just 50/50 me constantly" OR my favourite "The way you play is so simple". To this day I take both these things as compliments. Mostly because it was my goal to dumb down the game (Smash) so that I could repeat the process. Also if something I do works against you I will do it till you punish me 3 times in a row AND EVEN THEN I just increase the mental stack and still do the option. But at the end of the day I dont care what anyone says about my play, competition is inherently brutal and people say that shit just to stroke their ego after losing. Took years of failing to get there though.
This is partially true, although a lot of the time I get called random it’s because people are correctly calculating options and assuming you’re good enough to not press a terrible one.
High key, 9 times out of 10, people throw out the word random because they too low level to understand their opponents decision-making (good or bad). No one really plays randomly, unless they’re a button mashing 5 yr old.
Execution seems to be my hardest struggle with FGs. I am haunted by the Input Eating Devil or something, what’s in my head and what comes out on the screen is the same like half of the time. But as you said I do recognise that and when labbing combos I always modify them to what comes easier to me, which ofc isn’t nowhere optimal. Maybe 2XKO with simple inputs will be my game😅
i love how you say "dont think your cursed just push through" and then your footage is used for the perseverance example :D ... been a while since i been around .. but still love your content only listening to authority figures would make the world static.... all great truths start as a blasphemy.. we would all still think the would is flat if Copernicus didn't change the paradigm (well i guess some people still do )

Heyyyy I have a notes discord too! With the channel/thread system its pretty nice for categorization and having it immediately available on both my pc and phone in real time makes jotting things down in the moment and reviewing them later easier. It's a neat idea, until discord shuts down and I lose all my shit
What he says around @32:00 can be applied to real life. Once you get a seat at the table, you see a lot of the MFs around the table ain’t all that. They just know stuff/have money/nepo babies.
You don’t need books. Refrain from putting value to your wins and losses. Find value when you are able to execute what you practiced regardless of you won or lost.
Where's that video about what Lord Knight explains his theory on games where you can combo off of everything vs games where you can't combo off of everything
- I have good reactions, but I’m often nervous to do anything other than poking or block string. - I’m random as hell all the time. Expect that weird move or combo to come up when I get the chance to use it. - I hate my composure levels. I can play well but as soon as I get in a situation my brain can’t come up with a solution right away, I get from calm to frustrated really fast. - My execution only sucks in SF titles because those buttons are sluggish! Okay…I come from faster fighting games, so playing SF or even MK, it’s harder for my inputs sometimes because my GG/Tekken brain is pressing buttons 2000 frames before I have to. I played in my first SF6 tournament and lost because I kept dropping Marisa’s qcf mk in combo strings. - My innovation is directly tied to my randomness and execution. My Nago playstyle is evident of that as I do stuff that will go into blood rage fast for no reason and still give my opponent that baseball bat swing. - I’m good at adaptation after a couple rounds. - I don’t join tournaments or competitive environments often, so my clutching is…not so good. - It’s honestly hard for me to grind, or have a positive mind all the time, to be honest. Mostly because my interests change damn near rapidly…depression sucks.
that mostly tells me that you play while being on a high pressure to yourself (anxiety). I can know this because i have mostly the same mindset and im trying to change that.

I constantly forget some basic things about matchup knowledge or how to defend against certain rushdowns. I guess if you are serious about the game you take notes to prevent this but sadly I'm bad at taking notes and I kinda hate it. Are there other things pro players do to make sure they won't have any gaps in their knowledge?
you remember things either cause you've seen them a lot or they made a big emotional impact. Notes let you see things again without actually seeing them again. If you don't wanna take notes you just gotta play a lot I guess until you've seen every situation a lot in the field but obviously you're gonna lose longer if you have to do it this way. Or wait until each situation costs you a game you cared a lot about and let trauma do the work.
@@GlowingOrangeOoze I thought taking notes helps you to remember things better because you write it down with your hand. It's a little inconvenient but I'd rather use websites like Dustloop instead if all it does is to make me access the infos faster. Or am I missing some obvious points?
@@neonaofumi5572 I presume almost nothing to be obvious about this topic. Learning how to learn isn't adequately taught by either school or english-speaking culture in my experience, and the personal journey of understanding oneself can go in numerous directions. That said, I obviously can't speak for everyone, but here's my understanding on what notes really do for you: The process of putting something into your own words is beneficial. For one, if you don't REALLY understand the material, this process will make that obvious. If you're reading someone else's notes (like dustloop) you just have to be disciplined enough to make sure you're understanding what you're reading. Imagining how you will apply it. When writing notes, doing it by hand helps for some people, but personally I think that's largely just because it takes longer. Having a book of notes to reference will also store knowledge way way more quickly than your brain. A session of deep thought about matchup theory could fill a dozen pages in a single day. Having that same depth of knowledge available in your brain at a moment's notice just from playing the game would probably hundreds of hours in the game for most people. I'm guessing this is the path most players (even successful tournament players) choose. What you choose to do should depend on how you want to engage with the game. That said, even if you hate taking notes, writing down a couple of really key points when you think of them won't kill you.
beyond just random id say if adaptation is about adjusting to your opponent id say hotashi’s superpower is the opposite. not letting the situation change how he wants to play
such a convoluted way to say there's 3 kinds of gamers. The gamer, the anti-gamer, and the No U. This feels like when ugly people start bragging about their other skills at a casting call for 'abnormally beautiful' roles... like who are you trying to fool with uniqueness Brenda, you are a burn victim. That won't sell beauty cream no matter how clutch your grit is... If we gonna be out here rating the quality of a milkshake by how quickly we eat the burger and fries, maybe that randomness factor has taken completely over, and we're all just a bunch of No U's being tricked by netcode and the algorithm to think we're big winners, when the only one's actually winning are the publishers.
