Rhiya Posted August 22, 2013 Posted August 22, 2013 I had a dream where I was yelling at myself to just block high and tech grabs but I just watched myself not doing it. Oh wait, that was REAL! What do you guys do to maintain focus during the match? Like, I find I can play *more* lately, but when I feel like I'm more capable than this it's a real downer to be repeatedly overheaded or grabbed to death. Especially when it seems I'm doing all the thinking in the match. http://shoryuken.com/2013/08/19/interview-what-street-fighters-can-learn-from-sports-psychology/

Star-Demon Posted August 22, 2013 Posted August 22, 2013 Turn the t.v. off (unless they are giving something good), bump up the volume to keep you awake, drink water to stay hydrated, and that is pretty much it. You don't really need to focus all that much to beat people in BB. That's now how I look at it - there's constant information and responses you have to be prepared for as Litchi, and it requires processing and focus to understand and execute or else you're just going to make mistakes all over the place. Drinking water and sleeping helps. I definitely don't do enough of those things. Should I play again tonight? Not sure right now - I probably should take another break for a while.
mAc Chaos Posted August 22, 2013 Posted August 22, 2013 http://shoryuken.com/2013/08/19/interview-what-street-fighters-can-learn-from-sports-psychology/ I read that article after everybody raved about it so much and I don't understand why it's so special. It's nothing but common sense and obvious stuff to me.
NeoGio0o Posted August 22, 2013 Posted August 22, 2013 (edited) I read that article after everybody raved about it so much and I don't understand why it's so special. It's nothing but common sense and obvious stuff to me. Fighting game players+Psychology+1 or 2 academic titles+ some random University= heads spinning in amazement. 9.5k health, no DP, terrible reversal super, new breed of shit CA, and still I watch t.v. when I play. Trust me Star you are over-complicating things and are just putting an excess amount of effort on basic shit. To add to that list of ways to have better focus: -Don't be super high -Be sober -Eat food! Like real food, not noodles and shit -Take showers Edited August 22, 2013 by NeoGio0o
Star-Demon Posted August 22, 2013 Posted August 22, 2013 Looking at that MU-12 quote, I think maybe one thing I need is a Grandma-ption Select. But for now - YO DAWG, I DON'T EVEN PLAY THIS GAME. I suppose what's happening tonight is a look at some hakumen and hazama things in practice mode - Not sure if anything is really going to stick - since the last time I did this with Jin and didn't I still don't think I've really applied any of it. Join me 9EST if interested in hanging out.

It's nothing but common sense and obvious stuff to me. Because too many people think having your head in the game is more than situational awareness. It's also neat to see someone cross E-Sports with sports psychology. It's just another sign of the tacit legitimization of E-Sports.
mAc Chaos Posted August 23, 2013 Posted August 23, 2013 Also, not sure if you mean it this way Star, but you don't want to be thinking too much during a match.
Nemesis Posted August 23, 2013 Posted August 23, 2013 Also, not sure if you mean it this way Star, but you don't want to be thinking too much during a match. dont think then mac fight -- me--- now
mAc Chaos Posted August 23, 2013 Posted August 23, 2013 Can't, going to physical therapy in 15 minutes. Also moving tonight and tomorrow, but I should be settled in by Sunday.
Sil'fer Posted August 23, 2013 Posted August 23, 2013 Good games Nemesis. Also, H4NZO_THE_R42012, I booted you because last time I played you were really unpleasant in mail without any provocation from my end.
Nemesis Posted August 23, 2013 Posted August 23, 2013 Yea the games this time I think were less laggy - aside from that one time Was fun.... maybe if we keep fighting I'll hate platinum a little less .. Also... why do you purple grab so much ?
Sil'fer Posted August 23, 2013 Posted August 23, 2013 Yea the games this time I think were less laggy - aside from that one time Was fun.... maybe if we keep fighting I'll hate platinum a little less .. Also... why do you purple grab so much ? I only purple grabbed about..1-2 times! Unless you're talking about Tager...Then yeah. I usually only do it when I'm at a severe life disadvantage. I'll be going to Bullet anyways when CP hits, and possibly Kagura if they ever release any footage of him. Probably will make me hate fighting Mu even more when I don't have a real projectile.
Nemesis Posted August 23, 2013 Posted August 23, 2013 As I despise purples I take notice really well when ppl use em... tager doesnt count ... but your explanation is fitting given how the games went... how do you hate Mu -- show me the other Mu player who even gives you a hard time Bullet huh?? 1-button neutral control lol? I suppose it'll suit you tho... you do jump alot
mAc Chaos Posted August 23, 2013 Posted August 23, 2013 It's kind of weird how everybody gets mad over purple throws online or in lag, since the green throw is the one that is harder to break.

I suppose it'll suit you tho... you do jump alot I'd get mad over that remark but it's really true. lol I am trying to not jump more though, but it's just burned into my brain. Also it's not so much Mu but I have trouble with super aggressive people in general. You and xntrikcat are the only Mus I know anyways. Bullet fits my style, plus I love her character design. I don't use Platinum near enough to her full potential as it is anyways.
Lord Pwnge18 Posted August 23, 2013 Posted August 23, 2013 No, I'm xcat. I mean, wait a second... would-have-been-ggs to Nemi, since you left my room immidiately after joining
Ctrlaltwtf Posted August 23, 2013 Posted August 23, 2013 It's kind of weird how everybody gets mad over purple throws online or in lag, since the green throw is the one that is harder to break. Well they're certainly infuriating when you get TRM-setup'ed by them. Purple throws are also a way to force an opponent to tech in place without allowing them to use an actual air tech. The latter is only really useful if your enemy is playing dead.
Nemesis Posted August 23, 2013 Posted August 23, 2013 i thought nem was xcat also pwnage You'd better shut yer mouth @ lord - woulda stayed but that rag a mirror looked like the most boring shit in the world ... I HAD to leave
Putin Posted August 23, 2013 Posted August 23, 2013 TRM setups are legit, purple throw "combos" are silly and exactly because of that people get salty when they don't break them, be it due to lag or to poor reflexes since "decent" players rarely do them. I only do them when people refuse to tech; I pick them up, the would-be-complete-combo continues into a blue beat but I can't end it properly due to proration, so I throw them to return to neutral. It's also funny to note that I've had complaints from people in occasions like the above
Nemesis Posted August 23, 2013 Posted August 23, 2013 I never argued I'd they were legit or otherwise - just dun like em
Lord Pwnge18 Posted August 23, 2013 Posted August 23, 2013 @ lord - woulda stayed but that rag a mirror looked like the most boring shit in the world ... I HAD to leave Impatient motherfucker
