Why does smash bros make me so nervous? When I play online my hands start shaking and heart starts beating fast. It's like the other person is judging every single thing I do and I'm terrified of looking like a fool in front of them.
It's only smash bros this happens with.
Why does smash bros make me so nervous? When I play online my hands start shaking and heart starts beating fast...
>play normal fighting games
>win about 50% of matches, not that great
>sit back, legs crossed, chilled time
>Play smash
>for some reason focus and sweat so much
Anybody else like this?
Because you know at some point the game will lag and you will be off stage. You will panic and hit r and you will air dodge yourself into the blast zone while your opponent is teabagging you even though they didn’t do shit.
Also losing gsp makes you feel like shit even though it doesn’t mean anything
>teabagging
I want to reach through the screen and strangle all the troglodytes that do that
Go out. Get a job, see the world, meet more people, achieve goals, gain self confidence and you'll see that video games don't fucking matter.
>these are the people on Yea Forums
I love losing
>going like 5-0 against a palutena the other day
>internet craps out and inputs don't register so my character just sets there
>happens again while offstage and sd
>they start t-bagging
Pretty much the opposite for me
When I play smash (or any online nintendo game really) I run under the assumption most of my opponents are kids that I can just outsmart instead of outplay
Play more
Stop worrying about a fake number i.e gsp
Play to learn not to win at least in the beginning
Get used to and ignore teabagging. It's not going away. Just keep coming at your opponent 100%.
You can die at any time for being bad.
Well you either barely play or are such shite that you're still in the ranks where you actually are playing children. Nintendo games home the most autistic, tryhardest of the tryhards.
>tfw playing kirby some troglodyte retard playing a top tier character gets a stock on me
>they start teabagging
Wow, your character was designed to actually be good and mine is fucking trash yet again, you are so fucking skilled at this game
Goddamn I fucking hate Ultimate, why are Puff and Kirby so fucking bad
Probably because the online is godawful and doesn't even match you with your preferred rules half the time. I'd suggest sticking to either friends or locals if you have them.
Yeah I don't really play that much but I'm not saying they are all kids I'm saying that assumption helps me not stress too much
Meanwhile in traditional fighters I get spooked as fuck because I'm running under the assumption everyone's a mega tryhard who knows all the combo extensions and punishes and shit
That's because everything in this game is fucking safe.
I wish had friends that would actually be down to grind out some matches with me.
I only got one friend really and the second I surpass him even .001% in skill level he immediately loses all interest.
I imagine all ddd players are kids. They all spam Gordos and camp by jumping. It is the most infuriating experience imaginable
>It's like the other person is judging every single thing I do
I am if you do something extremely punishable
>3 minutes
>2 Stock
>high bombs only
>or worse high assist and pokeball only
>has 4.7 million GSP
Why people do this?
I only got that way in starcraft 2. Shaky hands, pouring sweat, alñ that. Smash is just fun as hell win or lose, i dont get nervous at all
>play shooting game
>get maybe 9 kills in a round
>I'll call that average
>Top scorers on both teams with 35 kills each call me a bot
That's... not how that works
>ps4 broke and to lazy to fix it
I miss cod.
>4.9mil elite gsp
>k rools still spamming crown and blunder buss
>main ridley
You don’t know how bad it really is
Delete this. It's always a fucking beaner too. Glad I haven't touched Elite in months.
kirby is good. you just gotta not get hit.
I know exactly what you mean.
For me it's always someone with an xbox live tier "gamertag" name. Like, kyleX37ELITE, or something.
I'm used to it for Puff since I started using her in Brawl
I've actually played Brawl competitively as well as Melee
Nothing from 4 or Ultimate can attain me now, i've seen the worst of the worst Smash matchups have to offer in the worst of conditions and some pretty nifty advanced techniques and tricks, I do miss them
Get an office job and realise just how fake and miserable everybody else is you mean
Nah. I'm usually chill when I play Smash online. The only time I get nervous is the adrenaline rush from facing a really good opponent where we both know what we are doing and both at 1 stock. Especially if I'm in the high percent.
Just performance anxiety like with anything else.
>tfw you lose to:
>Tyler
>Mathew
>Brandon
>Brayden
>Zachary
>Corey
>Kyle
>Jacop
Don't know why names like these specifically piss me off so much. Probably cause I picture an annoying little shit 13 year old who doesn't understand that he doesn't have to put his full actual name for his tag.
>Jacob
>I’ve fought 3 today
What did soccer guy mean by this?
>Fight a Kyle
>All he does is forward smash or side b
How the fuck did this make it to Elite?
I felt this strongly when I was playing online as a younging. It went away with years. I remember when I was raiding in WoW, I almost shit myself because I was so nervous of fucking up.
>please don't yell at me
>can't ever finish opponents
>still stuck at 80k GSP
haha
I made it into Master rank in Overwatch but gave up quickly because the anxiety became too much to handle. I had to mute my teammates because fucking and getting yelled at made me fucking miserable. I played one round of Smash online but selecting the character made me heart rate go insane and I turned off the console.
I’m in elite and I’ve fought people who are better than elite players at that gsp. Gsp doesn’t mean shit just focus on getting better
>oh woe is me it's my character that sucks
Just pick someone else then stupid bitch
Take a deep breath, focus, and remember GSP doesn’t mean shit
This
I would always get the gamer shakes when i got invaded in darksouls 2 and 3. Then i got gud and was able to kill most shitters, and if they killed me i just called them a twink lol
>Tfw wondered how far down I could go in GSP
>Got around to 10 000
>Slow hassle to get back up but absolutely destroying everyone on my way back
Might be my fault
FRIENDS, I just got into elite smash with my second character. I did it, it wasn’t a fluke with the first one! God bless
Ive played melee since 2001.
user you have an issue with yourself.
I will never judge you i take how you are as a smaah player and have fun. If you want to learn i can teach. It doesn't matter level or items 1v1.
Know that you are loved and this is all your world and how you perceive it.
Know that everything you are you are built to handle whether it is playing smash or surviving harsh political times we were all built for this era.
What pisses me off is i been waiting since 2001 for a sequel to melee.
I want melee as a base
I want 360 degree versions of all moves in the game.
I want to clank block smash in aerial fashion.
I want double and triple smashes
I want light button presses to be light hits and hard button presses to be hard hits.
I want jumps to be controlled by the same thing.
I will never be satisfied because nintendo lost their ability to do these things.
This. There are good players in elite but s lot of them just ride cancerous play-styles or characters the whole way.
Do you rematch? Or are you a little bitch farming those you only easily win against?
terminal homosexuality
always rematch, only 3stock-7min-FD-noFS-noItems
I say no only if Im bored of playing with them, I usually always go for at least a bo5, in my head Im going for EVO GF lmao
>always rematch
Stopped reading there. You're a man of honor and your penis is gigantic.
Every single person no matter the skill level deserves at least best of 3. Lag or people who give up before the match is over are the only exceptions.
Why yes I go to my local Smash tournament every Saturday and have fun even if I lose 0-2.
>Why does smash bros make me so nervous?
Because you care about video games when you shouldn't. This shit doesn't matter for anything and it is honestly an embarrassment that your fight or flight response is triggered by it.
Where do you find these places? Everybody talks like there's one on every street. I would love to have somewhere to go for some lan play.
Melee 2 would be fucking sick but not with 8 thousand characters. No clones also
I did the same with meta knight. He’s near elite but I still suck at him but I was as low as you. Probably just a fundamentals thing
Im not really caring about character size i been playing peach since 2001 i just want my melee peachy if i have her with the upgrades that everyone else has that changes and makes the game more complex id be the happiest person in the world.
Sorry if i offend you
You good senpai. I just hate how floaty most characters feel in new games
It's pretty embarrassing that your fight or flight response is triggered when you have to tell the Wendy's cashier they forgot your pickles you keyboard tough guy.
Do you actually disagree tho?
Where do you live? Local scenes tend to concentrate in major cities (at least 100k inhabitants). Any scene worth its salt can also generally be found on Faceberg and other social media.
I agree it's extremely weird.
As peach i like to stay on the ground and hover like a jet and swat them down.
Theres something so satisfying to play her like that
We all(especially here) get anxious about dumb shit. Shit way dumber than competing in a video game against another human being. Just because you don't care about this subject in particular doesn't make you better than anyone else.
Assuming you're that user btw
Who do you main?
Some shitty little town in PA
Go on Facebook and look for smash groups.
I can't get into elite smash no matter how hard i try
Seriously Yea Forums why did you tell me quickplay was full of shitters when the only players i encounter are actaully good ones
It doesn't help that when i reach 4.7M i only gain 10k GSP per match and i lose 30k everytime i lose
Even if i go on a win streak i still don't have enough time to get to 4.9M because of how slow i gain GSP
It doesm't help that my main has some shitty ass matchups
I "imported" the game on 3DS and there were only pros around playing me. Like actual people playing for thousands of viewers, for money. It was terrible.
These wouldn't work with Smash as a base, like, at all. Especially 360 degree moves, and aerial blocking. IT's less of you wanting a sequel and more of you wanting Smash to be another genre entirely. And Full Hops and Short Hops are already controlled by light and hard inputs.
You need to actually put thought int how these would be integrated smoothly on a 2.5D semi-platformer instead of saying fuck Nintendo (btw Sora Ltd. =/= Nintendo) for not implementing them.
Hell, project NX scrapped the airdash idea because it would have to reinvent the entire control scheme to get it to work without clunky double button inputs.
Look for events in your nearest city, alternatively you can try your luck and drive to a local in Philadelphia or Pittsburgh, which are surely full of highly skilled players.
Elite smash is a fucking shit show, I don’t get angry easily but I’m absolutely seething after a bout of that.
Stick to arenas guys
Quickplay is all a matter of knowing matchups. There's a pool of roughly a dozen characters you're going to see over and over again, and 90% of people playing those characters are going to play that character the exact same way. Instead of focusing on winning, put all your attention on how to counter specific strategies and try different moves to see how they react, even if it costs you wins. Once you start getting into peoples' heads you can actually start winning. good luck.
>500 stamina
>3 Stock
>Scrolling 3D Land stage
>poke balls and assist
>smash balls
I only won because apparently if Pichu uses her final smash on that stage and misses she just dies immediately.
insecure gamers
>tfw wrecking top tier characters with low tier characters
Heh nothing personel
Playing solo online is whatever, but holy hell playing co-op online has become the most cancerous shit. It's devolved to the point where every match is against double Samus/Ganon/Ike or some other degenerate heavy/zoner team. I genuinely had a better time dealing with Cloud in Bayo in 4 than I have constantly having to walk on eggshells with these fuckers. Probably going to take a break from the game for a while, but if they don't add a friendly fire option (or allow more than one local player in arenas ffs) I'm going to try to forget I even have this game.
Not that user but I try to tell myself stuff like this, but it doesn't change the fact that the teams i get matched against are the same handful of characters. The variety is even smaller than solo QP.
This game is more balanced than smash has ever been. You just want an excuse to lose.
