things are easier said than done LOL i get wym fully, and i agree with you. i wish i was good at following advice i agree with

i think a better goal is to study, and win when i’ve studied by applying what i know. idk. just spitballing. i didnt have an endpoint to these posts i just like having my thoughts out somewhere and if people want to chime in that’s fun asf

being strong is something so arbitrary, and it’s so quick for me to decide based on set results & player wins. those things matter for rankings, but i can’t separate how they matter to me as a person. wanting to be perceived as a strong opponent is stupid because it means whatever i want.

but on that note stress seeped into my lmbm mental and seeps into my competitive mental when i have this intense fear of being forgotten as a threat. i dont want to be the best, i want to be strong. and that might be a flawed goal because it won’t satisfy me ever when i am my own worst critic

on some unfortunately real shit i feel like i am under a lot of stress all the time and i have very fair reasons to be stressed but rely heavily on bad habits to cope bc why not lol. it’s turning me lazy tho and knocks me out for significant chunks of my otherwise free afternoons. maybe back2gymtime

today zeke encouraged me to take notes on sets between cake and sandy and i wrote two pages of notes just for fun bc i had free time in my lunch break at work. this was a reminder for me that more than anything i enjoy the puzzles in the game and seeing if my solutions apply in-game

by bad spectator i mean i never am convinced to sit down and watch a set unless i’m watching top 8 in-person with friends. too zoomer brained or some shit with no attention span.

bc of this, online in r2 is less fun for me than online for r1 so i think i need to focus on having short online sessions in r2 with a lot of emphasis on reviewing and studying sets. generally i am a bad spectator when it comes to this game, despite feeling as though i can identify a lot in gameplay

too often i get home and smoke and play this game bc it’s the only way i enjoy it nowadays because i dont value playing this game online for practice. xfinity is shit for me no lie and i dont anticipate switching providers so this the best i got

i love coming here to keep things real. here’s the next real thingdump:

rivals 2 online tourneys are not serious I just looked at replays vs. clips and the disparity in the information is crazy and it affects how I choose to play. I gotta let online tourneys not impact how I think. Those results mean literally 0️⃣

i hope asmondgold is doing ok 😔

not meant as johns i can accept online for what it is, but it is not for me. not for me on this poopoo xfinity ethernet!

this is good advice i appreciate it 🫡

I get a 3% boost in performance for the day each time I say “hey man how’s it going” to a real person. Giving myself a minute to affirm that the sky isn’t falling and that I’m in real life helps calm me.

it only contributes to my poor mentality rn. ik the short answer is "just play for fun" no motherfucker i'm trying to LEARN. and i can only learn when the game responds correctly to what i am doing

i just don't want to spend all my practice for this game in the training room but genuinely i'm at my limit with this. i do not want to drop another neutral win and get reversaled by the character that will put me at 80% off of grab bc the game decided i didn't press anything

i cannot be bothered to put any actual effort into anything online for r2 every single time i try to play my main online it just feels so damaging bc i love spacing and reacting and practicing precise movement. and in truth i can't work on those things effectively online

been mine for a good minute

i hope this is a significant revelation that will help me learn to accept my emotions

come to think of it, that really explains why i feel like whenever i reg for r1 side brackets for the hell of it, i generally feel so much more precise and consistent trying hard tech that i don't even normally do. i really need to learn to let things go, and to give it my all

think i finally accepted that my biggest problems in the game right now more than anything are 1. low-confidence, and 2. fear of failure at high-stakes. i used to love losing, but now every time i lose it feels like i'm failing to convince people that i'm good. and it weighs on me.

LMAO
