I'd like you to know I sat outside on the back patio in a hammock with the crickets and other night life around me watching this video. It fit the tone very well.
This video was enlightening, I enjoyed it significantly. There ARE situations, however, where I do feel called to call my opponent dishonorable. Rat bastards who taunt with you and then interrupt the taunting, once under a guise of playful interaction, to put you in a full combo... for them, there is no forgiveness. For them... yogg-saron shall hold nothing back. GOLD BURST 100-BAR ITEM SUPER GOOOOOOOOOOOOO
This whole video kicks ass and affirms a lot of brain movement I struggle to explain to other players. I just link dumped this immediately to my discords, well played Krac!
Wasn't sure what this vid would be about when I clicked on it. Excellent topic, script, and execution. There can be a lot of toxicity in any game's community, PvP moreso than PvE. On top of that, fighting games are 1v1, there are no teammates to rely on/blame/praise for failure or success. I've come to attribute this behavior to people's inability to contain their ego. People attach their concept of self and self-worth to things outside of themselves, and when these external things are threatened, they lash out aggressively as if they personally received life-threatening bodily harm. A gamer who doesn't think and trashes their opponent or game is similar to a religious person who attacks others over perceived insults to their religion, or a nationalist attacking others for perceived slights to their country. In each case, an individual ties too much of their identity and worth to something far outside of themselves, a result or condition that lies outside of their absolute control: 'I win at games', 'my morality is supreme', 'my country is superior'. Establishing boundaries on one's identity allows for growth without suffering the pain of failure. Playing to win and playing to learn and playing to have fun don't have to be mutually exclusive. Passion and drive don't have to equate to aggression at everything that gets in the way of a desired result, be it adversaries, the itself game, or people who play cooperatively toward the same goal. This is a very interesting video on a topic that spans beyond faust, strive, guilty gear, or fighting games. This is a cleverly written and concisely presented message on the topic of ego. I hope to see more videos like this. A healthy, competitive mindset is hard to develop without either personal internal reflection or external examples.
WAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA This is hilarious. You're talking about religion and nationalism in the context of fighting games, which has the most cult-like behavior in their community.
This makes me think of the learning process I've started trying to adopt. Talk shit, get hit, talk better shit. Just stop caring if I'm wrong the first time but making damn sure I'm right the second time.
LOOK but Mk11 is different, I promise! Its really not well designed or balanced in a way that's fun, at least when I try to play my main. It encourages toxic mindsets and playstyles with strong characters while punishing weaker ones for trying to do intermediate combos or pressure. And it is left that way for all eternity now.
As a guy who goes in and out of scrub mentality, I gotta say, please keep calling us little bitches. It'd the fastest way out of the trap that is scrub mentality lol.
Is it weird that the more I say I hate something over calling myself stupid, leads to me understanding and learning how to avoid that thing annoying me? Like "This sucks! I hate that character!" *Does some research and labbing* "This doesn't suck that much anymore..."
Growing up, the games we play are often an escape from our own... powerlessness. Sometimes you are a secret agent, beating up ninjas in the backyard. Sometimes you are a sort of God, watching over a family living their everyday lives. Sometimes the characters and setting hold no bearing in reality at all. Sometimes you're a big ol' tonka truck causing millions in collateral damage. When you compete with another human however, that illusion is shattered. All it takes is an opponent more skilled than you. All expectations, hardwired into your brain from years of self-gratification and escapism, will be broken to little bits. In your own home, on your own terms. Those who desperately try to salvage their bruised egos in this defining moment, paying no mind to what they say, whether right or wrong, paying no mind to the obJective truth that lay before them, they label the game and it's systems that lead to their demise as, "completely unfair." Their opponent, "dishonourable." They say this, despite being ignorant to the depth of the game they play. Systems, unexplored. In the most egregious of circumstances, they know that these systems remain unmastered. And yet it is the game's fault that they lost. It is because of their opponent's own, "dishonourable villainy," that they had to experience a hero's failure. These, are fools. Their development sabotaged by their own ego. But when you let your ego fall by the wayside, and begin to explore these games in their entirety, every failure of the system and every strategy in play, you find yourself quickly swept up in an ocean of empowerment, learning, and satisfaction. It is how you can play this game of life for thousands of hours... tens of thousands of hours, letting your ego hold no purchase in failure, so that you can see the path before you, unimpeded. So that you can enJoy yourself, fully, in ways that stretch beyond mere escapism. This is why, I call out fools for what they are. Little *bitches.* It's for their own good! To show them that they're wrong, and to show them what they give up when they bleat, whine and moan. So don't you lecture me with your 30 dollar haircut Goku. But yeah, it's incredible how applicable fighting game philosophy can be to real life, even if I did Just reframe your video as a villain speech :)
I had to work hard as shit on this. I felt the need to be extremely good at everything I did otherwise I had no value as a human. So I would get so irrationally angry at losing. But lately I've been trying to take a don't give a shit about anything approach to counteract it.
I know this is a nine month old comment, but I feel similarly in a lot of hobbies/fields. My issue with the stoicism approach is that it's just another extreme. I feel like when I try and turn off the emotions, negative *and* positive, it just kind of removes the point. Like at that point, why bother playing at all if I'm trying to focus on feeling un-invested, in other words, I can't be excited about the things i previously felt things towards.
while i agree, i have a saying in these types of games i took it from league but it applies to basically any unique char vs unique char game. "the more you hate a char or struggle vs the more you should play as that char" and try to fundamentally understand what is happening. however. i've heard people use this scrub argument to basically entirely shutdown someone who has explored all their options and has put their ego aside to be objective. when there genuinely is devs/companies out their who half ass things and push beta stuff to live. this scrub argument is good but applies to people not fully exploring themselves or their options in game be it the char the system mechanics or matchup knowledge there is a point where you're beating your head into a wall that isn't worth over thinking. most people smart enough to explore their options already know this as such for those i'm stating the obvious. kinda my goal here just to put out the flip side cuz i've met assholes who just refuse to see reason or company mismanaging something and just beat people over the head with git gud scrub as a be all argument.
I wouldn't waste so much energy on randoms on the internet, but I used to do that, too... This video doesn't have much to do with anything outside of playing fighting games, however.
0.18-0.23 i've heard this notion so many times and it pisses me off every single time. where does this even come from? i don't know about you, but for me, games were almost never an escape from reality, they were simply entertainment: a way to stimulate my mind and body. maybe it's true *sub* consciously, but consciously it's completely false
@@nobleradical2158 that's ok. what pisses me off is when people act like it's true for everyone or the vast majority of people. like we're all sad losers who needed an escape from reality
This was fun, but a little too patronizing and self flattering. Fighting games are exactly what you state, but you come off as so harsh that I think anyone on the fence or curious about the genre would feel isolated from your description. Keep it up, man!
@@Krackatoa glad I could pop that cherry. It's a good vid btw. Learning fighting games as a whole recently has been rough and vids like this are good mental helps.

If I keep playing Faust, will I also reach this level of enlightenment?
yes
No its whatever character(s) you truly enjoy playing that'll help you to enlightenment.
If you play him long enough, and spend a lot of time thinking about it, maybe.
