Star-Demon

I might host a room/stream tonight. We shall see.

Thanks for having me on to help commentate - I enjoy talking!

No games today - feeling pretty awful and unfocused.

GGs brandino - I still have no idea how to defend, but I tried new things. I don't think I'm ready to come back to this game. The entry level is very high for me and even though I've been trying a long time I don't think I learned the game and need to start over somehow. I'm not sure what skills and techniques I need to start with first, since they all seem to be required for basic play. There's also many I still haven't been able to even do in two years. It's very discouraging but I guess I just need a lot of time to start liking the game in this sort of environment.

Well, you main everyone so that's what happens. I have no feel for how your tager actually plays compared to theirs since we never play enough for me to get that feel. Shit you wanna try for OGT's spot? I haven't played him since CT but he's still a particular tager in my mind.

Star's Tager Rankings: Akira MikeZ Rampage Chuck Koopa OGT (sorry man, haven't played ya since CT) Everyone else Tagers that never block

Someone plz explain I am dumb. Shishin must not be OH I guess.

Gotta get HARD.

1. What site do you like to use best? I've seen Twitch.tv used a lot. Twitch. 2. What settings do you find most optimal for streaming? (quality vs. bandwidth) I always have to have great audio quality. As devices and bandwidth improves so does picture quality. If audio is bad that will grind my ass the most. 3. What kind of upload speeds do you recommend as a minimum for acceptable-quality streaming? Depends on your ISP. I take average speed and use that.

GGs. I spent a lot of time trying different things tonight, but I ended up in a lot of cascade panics and downward spirals.

oh well no one watching or chatting so stream over. Still playing a bit.

Room's been open where are you guys?

Gonna open a room and run stream tonight after dinner. Come on down.

outside of never seeming to be able to react to Valkenhayn's slow ass moves, I don't feel he's a big a deal to me as Makoto, platinum or Ragna.

WOOO 4000 MATCHES.

I'll hop back on for ya.

Well, yukianesa really embarrassed me, but I guess I learned you can't try to force people to tech roll with sweep and staff cover. I kept trying to sweep his wakeup with staff cover and he either DPed me or just mashed 2A and I got damaged. It's still very hard to ignore how people love playing litchi mirrors versus me because they know I'm pretty embarrassing, but I guess this kind of change doesn't happen just because you read a decent self-help book. I got really worn down because of it, too...you can't just put up mental blocks and expect to block it out when you know that's the behavior your opponent is going with and you know they aren't going to try much harder. I have no idea why wooki was just watching. Usually he has no problem just farming bad players. Do they know each other?

He got Rule 10ed in Jin forums.

Seriously I don't know who you guys are. I'll stream and commentate, though. :P

I like Mei-Fang changes but honestly I don't have enough knowledge about how this game actually works to decide if it's enough to buy it.

It's called "The Art of Learning" and it's basically about this world class chess player going through chess and martial arts. It's pretty good - but the concepts don't really leave you as someone who isn't rich and can retreat to Europe to cool off with something to apply the concepts in the book other than to get some fundamentals and practice a lot. It leans heavily on mysterious teachings, but tries to explain how important that stuff acatually is. It's very mixed bag. I'm glad I read it, and I want ot get back to work but I'm still at a big loss about what to do with myself anymore. I have to go from being the absolute worst Litchi to someplace else. I don't really have any skills or mindset to play anything atm, so I have to somehow build up self confidence and willpower from scratch again while accepting my absolutely bad rep a a player and community member. TBH I have the flu right now so I feel all around shitty and not ready to do anything. I was just put on blast by rampage chuck for having 4000 games and not even having a basic understanding about the game even though that's what I thought I was working on. There's a lot of confusing shit to work out about what i actually do and do not know about the game and what I have to do to actually learn it- a lot of things I've done to learn are obviously not working, and I need a lot of clarity to do it. Clarity is in rare supply.

I'd be up for it after BB.

I'm feeling somewhat functional this evening - I'd like to play.

Still not sure about competing, but I'd be happy to commentate, host, and post matches.

Oh ok, lol! Yeah - My plan is now that I've read the really good book TheBrett recommended to me I have to find concrete ways to apply the ideas and then do them. That guy in the room with us was like "wow" at us. Both me and stream thought he was coming from SF4 . He just wouldn't jump cancel or special cancel anything.
