Giving Up

Dont give up just, yet losing is enoying for sure, but you see losing for the ones that are great bare no shame, i mean for now you re not the best but one day who knows, just give some more time and try goes for players that are in the same leve s you =)
 
Quitting because of one billion losses is silly. And that's a bad mentality to have. It seems like you set yourself up to quit, you lost to a pro after all.

Do you think Kilik ever got "bodied" by Edgemaster before surpassing him?( Bad analogy. Lol. Sorry I had to lighten the mood.) Of course he did.

Just remember anything can be a learning experience if you make it one.

I've been bodied too many times.

After losing to Oof's Dampierre 4 times in a row, I realize I'll just never be that good. His worst is better than my best. There is no possibility that I will ever improve. I have reached my limit, and here I will stagnate until I finally realize the meaning of futility. So I'm done. Any effort is wasted effort. I'm not good enough, and I won't be good enough. Ever.

GOOD.
 
Honestly, if you care about online win/loss records, fighting games are a tough genre to love, but it is feasible. You just need to find a different way to quantify how you're getting better than a win/loss record. My player match record is hovering around 33%, but the other day I finally JG'd Pyrrha's 66B BE and punished it after practicing it in training mode for at least an hour, and it reminded me not only of how much better I've become since I started playing (when I started, I was TRASH, btw), but how much work I have left to do to get to where I want to be, and how much fun I'll have getting there. Hope this helps :)

Hope this helps, i have this since years in my Xbox Bio.


Practice is great and all, but there's still one thing you need in order to be successful. Confidence! No matter what you do or how back your losing, you've gotta have confidence. Never let your opponent believe for one second that THEY ARE BETTER THAN YOU! Win, lose, or draw, by the time that match finishes there should be no doubt in either of your minds that YOU ARE THE BEST! It's psychological.How do you expect them to RESPECT you?

I like you.

So give up then. Go play DiveKick. You're the only one holding yourself back. Anyone with this mentality needs to accept that they won't improve their game until they improve their outlook.

You're only saying that because he is talking about your favorite character. lol

You're going to have to do a lot of sucking to get better at anything.

*giggles*...... Nevermind.
 
It took me over half a year to win my first set against Sacharja five years ago. "Growing up" with a pro is very depressing at first, but very effective imo.

I once lost to Xeph 2000000 - 0. Or something like that. I don't know. It was pretty horrible. Then I went and won NWM.

You either roll with the punches and keep on going, or tap out and go home early. It's up to you.

Too be fair, you beat me at NWM. An accomplishment, this is not.
 
Maybe you shouldn't play with players who people recognize by name?

A friend used to beat me with Xiba every single time we played. We stopped playing for a while, and now I can beat him with more than 5 characters. Although in my case it just showed me how I didn't know shit about SoulCalibur, seriously I'm not sure how the hell did I not learn anything in the last +10 years I've been playing the series.

Also I think I rather keep my ~40% win rate than sticking with the same 2-3 characters forever. I like to choose different characters all the time and not dedicate all my time on 1 or 2, I usually don't even choose the same character twice in a row!

You know what if you've lose one billion times I think it's better off you just quit. You may have just given every Soul Calibur player a 99% W/L ratio. In all seriousness though, you gotta lose before you win that's how fighting games are.
 
Never give up! :D How can you expect to get better if you have no hope? :O Winning wont come easy...you have to work at it!

Theres more to this than what character he used.

He will know how to defend against your character, where as you wont know how to defend against his Dampierre, and have a better general understanding of Soulcalibur and how best to approach any given situation, and those things do not change regardless of what character they pick.

Hes a better and more experienced Soulcalibur player than you, and theres no shame in losing to that. You should be fighting him over and over until you can beat him, or hitting training and random matches and improving that way. You cant be better than everyone, especially when you havent played the game as long as they have and thats clearly no reason to give up, its a reason to play it a lot more.
