People try selling books about this, and then you go and sum it up in three minutes. Nice.

Can I beat Taj now Gimpy?

Edit:

More or less, do you think it would be a proper strategy to get your opponent into the incorrect mindset before a match? Like, loosen up the mood by joking around while secretly getting in the mental scheme of "win mode?" That way you can have the advantage, at least at the start of the match.

trufax thread.

whenever I enter a tournament, before the match, i try to phych myself up.
at the same time, it tell the other guy that im a crappy player, but i need to play in the tournament because my mom died in a car crash yesterday and i need to take my mind off of it... and then I talk about the holocaust.

also, would you suggest black jokes against Taj, or would that just get me a punch in the teeth?

you're already going extremely low. Wtf, you say your mom died so you can get an edge in a tournament? Are you mentally ******* unstable?

You better believe this , never ever relax at a match or think your so good you dont need to worry
One day i played at my house with one of the best smashers ( of my friends of course ) and i was playing so seriusly ( no joking , music or talking ) and i managed to beat him twice.
Later that day we went to a party and we were playing smash , i was so cocky and overconfident that i called one of my friends a noob and challenged him to a match ( hes not as good as the one i beated) , long story short , he 4.stocked me because i wasn,t playing as seriously as before and i thought myself so pro.
The later on the party I challenge another guy , this time with the correct attitude and everything , it was a 3-stock match and i killed him twice , then i relaxed and started messing up things ( running directly at his forward smash and so) and then i started to panic and to mess up things even more , the i endep up losing to him.
PD: MINDSET IS EVERYTHING
