When did you realize you were shit at videogames...

When I started playing online with my friends and I was always in last place or even worse those times when I didn't even finish the race

A long time ago. I'm silver in LoL, HotS, and even TFT...
>9 years ago me: it's just the trench/it's just circumstance

I wasted the better part of a decade playing mobas and now the only games I can find any success on are roguelikes

and I dropped it.

Played a fuck ton of FPS games. I'm thoroughly above average, never good enough to be pro level, yet better than most players that play the game (Peaked Plat 1 in Rainbow Six Siege). This is hell. Every now and then I'm matched against the real best players and pro level players since Rainbow Six Siege matchmaking is shit, or I'm playing with whiny faggots who have been hardstuck plat like me who still believe they can make it as pros and will sperg out like autists whenever you make a mistake. Often times both.

I'm completely shit at shooters. I'm also not great at fighting games, but I still try and go to locals whenever I can.

Doping should be allowed in esports as not everyone's brains are the same or reflexes.
Adderal makes me marginally better at competitive games.

Your image may be a joke but there are times where that kind of citation is valid.

When I stopped having regular sufficient time for video games. If you actually practiced everyday for an hour and have the time to do so, you should already be better than 90% of players.

About 5 years ago when I realized I can't aim or react like I could. My brother who doesn't even own smash trashes my ass on the regular.

Sadly I don't think that would work.
The worst part is 90% of his gaming is LoL and fucking Fortnite.

The biggest deciding factors in those games is reaction time. He's obviously practised his more than you have.

Do Fortnite dances at him until he stops playing.

The thing is, I haven't played League in years and would likely do better than him after a couple games of practice, which is more on how shit he is rather than my own skill.
Fucker is just a savant when it comes to anything fighter like.

I would rather castrate myself and start transitioning before I did anything fortnite. I can't stand seeing it or anything related to that shit.

>musician
Music isn't about reflexes, it's about coordination. Even if you have superb fine motor skills, you'll be hard skillcapped in fps's if you reaction time is slower than others. Pic related, it's my reaction time.

These days, I rely more on prediction and gamesense than flick.

No retard. Plus your reflexes go to shit as you get older. You peak at 15.

How do I reduce the latency between my eyes and my brain

You can't, it's mostly genetic.
>Unfortunately, reaction time is highly genetic and typically can only improve 10 to 20%. Two things that help improve it are stimulants and overspeed training.

Fucking up your body with stimulants is not worth it to get slightly better at vidya. Just accept as I have that you'll always be platchat.

Nah, I'm going to pepper some cocaine on my eyeballs and you can't stop me.

you can react faster to sound, use good headphones

I'm garbage at shooters, have no patience to practice fightans and never managed to get above Diamond in mobas. I'm good at card games but I hate rng with a burning passion.

So yeah, the second I stepped out of single player games. I pretty much suck and am only good with figuring out base mechanics. If I play against anyone that doesn't know basics well enough they will think I'm a god.

I'm pretty good at them actually. It's just generally not worth the effort. I'd much rather sit down and chill with a single player game, RPGs especially.

this is my first fighting game
when im playing against people who are as bad as me it's really fun, but going against someone who knows what he's doing it can get really frustrating

Never because I'm actually competent to good at any video game i ever enjoyed.

Yeah I'm pretty ass at fighting games, but fighting games have made me better at other games.

I'm still ass all around, but I'm not gonna quit. That's for faggots.

I'm worse than shit at video games. I'm average. Like everything else I do in life.

Most online game success especially if they have host servers is about your internet connection. The best players often have 100mb + internet connection while everyone is 20mb or lower because the piece of shit internet infrastructure being a glass ceiling for most Americans. I also learned from installing peoples internet that the ghetto and inner city areas get the very best options as in fiber to the node while most just want the cheapest option.
For some reason these internet providers want everyone on poverty 25mb connections or lower.

Playing a 1gb connection for a fps host servers games made me unstoppable at videogames because for everyone of your bullets that registered 5 of mine connected first purely because of superior internet.

Same user, I can never get the hang of fighting game techniques beyond beginner level. Trying to remember inputs for combo attacks always trips me up beyond quartercircle bullshit and and anything that involves precise timing and strategy I always fumble.

Never did, i fucked mad bitches in Street Fighter 4

There have been studies showing excess fat leading to lower intelligence. I'd imagine that would translate into fat fucks just being outsmarted.

>tfw diamond in the only game I sink considerable time in
>regularly face masters/GMs
>always hold my own
I'm actually pretty decent. I'm also plat in OW with sub 100 hours, but I never liked the forced 50/50 in that game nor playing damage. Could see myself climbing high but that game is honestly for casuals.

>but going against someone who knows what he's doing it can get really frustrating
part of the appeal to me in fightan is just getting better and stronger in general. Even within a set when my opponent bodies me in the first match sometimes all you need to do is take a step back and approach the fight differently in a rematch. I love the feeling getting a comeback in a fight where everything seems hopeless at first, Its like im actually in an anime.

>Trying to remember inputs for combo attacks always trips me up beyond quartercircle bullshit and and anything that involves precise timing and strategy I always fumble.
That's exactly how I feel. I've been playing Fighterz for like 40 hours and I can only do one combo consistently and 90% of it is an autocombo followed by a dragon rush and a level 3.

Drink Caffeine it really helps when playing videogames. Also get better internet fast internet is a must for Host servers games and even for dedicated servers because they usually are more of a hybrid so your connection speed still matters like for Battlefield games.

Last of all find your niche you may be a really good sniper but, not a good run and gunner. Or stealth which is my favorite because its the best way to counter pro players and make them rage. If all else fails explosives classes don't take aim skill.

Yeah, that doesn't really play out against fightan autismos unless you are an autismo yourself. 80% of the brainlet space of those people is filled with frame data, it's why the FGC has the lowest collective IQ of any group on earth.

Sucks for you.
My dad had me playing competitive games since I was 3 years old. Now I'm a fucking god.

Connection speed is very dependent for host servers , you're a retard otherwise for using anecdotal evidence. Also why is there so many ultracrepidarians on Yea Forums when its obvious the retards that reply have no idea what they are talking about.

There is a reason everyone calls you stupid its because you are , accept it.

what?

Maybe not a pro level, player, but if you actively play the game, and arent physically defective, over time you will at least make the 90th percentile by virtue of repitition.

Exactly. Fucking idiot.

>what is host

I'm not, I'm just slightly above average, but never put in the effort to go beyond. I suck at fighting games because I never bother learning the combos, let alone practicing to get off perfect combo chains to juggle enemies for half their health.

You suck because you suck. I'm better than you.

I forgot to say I don't play fighting games so you're better than a non-player.

>allow me to reiterate what you just said but in a less intelligent way
I get it moron.

Nah, I constantly surprise myself with how good I am. I am mediocre at fighting games but that's largely because I don't find them fun enough to warrant any sort of time investment. I think I'm at the highest end of casuals but the lower end of hardcore epic gamer legends. Good but not 1337 if you can understand that ancient series of numerals.

I added a detail to my previous statement, I didn't reiterate it. And I think you mean "I" not "you".

What the fuck. I looked up Fran Bow and this isn't an RPG. You got my hope sup man, I loved Dragons Dogma is my favorite game so I thought we had similar tastes. It does look good, though. Might give it a go anyways. But yeah, I also suck at video games, unless it's a co-op game. Then, for some reason, I become a demi-god every now and then.

I have piss poor reaction times but after playing sekiro I can land perfect parries like fucking crazy.

You move before you think.

Have you tried parrying in a game where the active frames are not measured in galactic standard years though?

I'm fairly decent at shooters, probably above average at least. When Siege came out, and I started playing it I realized just how bad my aim was, but it's gotten way better since I switched to low sens and kept it uniform across games. I'm fucking terrible at fighting games, but I don't play those, so that's no surprise.

I realized I wasn't a hardcore gamer years ago when the internet got big and I just got bodied time and time again.

I have 15 consoles and make weekly arcade trips for Bemani but I'm a casual. So i'm glad companies are appealing to us more.

when I started playing with Warcraft 3's world editor since I bought it twos years after it released.

I can't do anything else, nothing else brings me the same joy as it.

When I couldn't climb in competitive games without obeying the meta, I only got to plat in Yugioh, League Of Legends and Overwatch playing what I wanted... Then I hit a wall in all three, I then traded in Roadhog for Brigitte, and I climbed to Diamond rather effortlessly but I wasn't having fun. I pretty much realised that I wasn't good enough to play what I wanted, while consistently winning. It was a bitter pill to swallow.

This picture reminds me of how fucked my sex life is from how I want it to be.
