The tone, style, and intent of your posting has completely turned around. Thank you. I appreciate it.snip
Before I continue, I apologize for the combative tone of my last several posts. I really do need to learn to stop whilst angry, but I'd rather not get angry to begin with.
Look, you guys aren't wrong. I'm not disputing that the mentality presented in this thread is the best one to have. But it's difficult to have. The reason I issued my challenge to all of you is to find out how you have overcome that gut reaction after getting cheesed out, and hopefully to get someone to admit that I at least have a little bit of a point. I mean, come on. Viola has a 240 damage combo off of 2A in combination with 6B+K. She touches you once and you die. Literally. You guys all know that this game has some seriously jacked up shit.
To clarify my own stance, I have never called bullshit on tactics. Lord knows how many times Amatosk has thrown me out of the ring with Yoshi's command grab. I get pissed, sure. But I don't call bullshit on that. It's my fault, I wasn't paying attention to positioning. I've been bodied by Ruben time and again, and never called bullshit on him. I've never beaten him to this day, and still don't think anything he does is bullshit. There are even certain Mitsurugi players I respect because they're so good that I wouldn't beat them even if they used other characters. (And sometimes they do to humor me. Looking at you, Zero.)
The problem is overcoming that rage you get when you know that a character that just beat you is overpowered. "If Mitsu's everything didn't do so much god damn damage, I might have won." "If Viola's pressure wasn't so braindead and inescapable, I might have won." You know, that mindset. And once you give in to that, every character's strong points become infuriating. That is the challenge I am issuing. How do you overcome the knowledge that some of the shit in this game is straight up broken?
