drunk MM?

[Pi]

soooooo

let's figure this out

there are 3 big altered states that people play in and have their own opinions on

drunk, tired, high

and whether or not u play better or worse, in these states, is...debated i guess?
but there is usually a common consensus that there is a DIFFERENCE in playstyles
from sober play, and DTH play

so whats the difference?

personally...when i'm tired/drunk, i feel like i play ok ;o
i can pick up on some of my reactions being slow, obviously
I miss some tech reads or wd OoS punishes or w/e, the reactive side of my game goes down

but i feel some other aspects of my play become...more effective (don't want to say better)

so what exactly is going on here?

my theory is that...personally...i try to think about my matches (too much maybe?)
and when i'm affected by one of these three states
i pretty much give up on thinking over my match since i know i won't be able too
so instead i kind of...just...play?

but that's a very generic under developed dive into what actually is occurring here

so let's talk about it more

(p.s. yea i'll scrape you in a drunk mm don't even try)

Oh I thought you were like challenging people to them @ APEX.

I play strictly worse when I'm drunk, and my mind wanders a lot. I can recall times where I've just been suddenly like "Oh I'm getting 3-stocked... when did this game start? o_O *L+R+A+START*" and started again. I've also stopped mid-combo to text someone before just because I didn't care about the combo as much as the text. I just don't give a ****.

My Marth does some weird things though lol.

I'm also more inclined to challenge people to MMs in this state. Thankfully my crew mates aren't *******s.

i am one of the worst drunken MM's ever i think i lost 40+ dollars in MM's at pound 5 when I was too drunk

Depends on how much.. I mean, I am sort of in my element after a few but at the same time I dont think its advantageous or anything lol. Id like a drunken mm tho...15 ea...what I thought about whem I saw the title

I don't know about drunk, but I always sit down to smash after having a nice bowl. It always steps up my game, but I think that's because I most often play while high. It's how I found out about Shiek's pivot ledgedrop bair --> spacie's face, among other silly, ridiculous things.

I don't know of anyone who plays better while tired.

i remember kage saying he plays well, or as well, when tired

i had a couple of on point matches couple days ago after being up for 36hrs (4stocked a friend, which never happens), felt pretty in control the whole match


i made this thread to discuss possible reasons WHY some people might think they do better while in an altered state

aside from the obvious 'everyone was drunk so u only think u did better'

let's assume that they are actually performing better, why might that be?

 

[the_CAM_factor]

i personally think its because peoples play style changes when they are high/drunk/tired etc. if you have a friend where you know each others patterns and suddenly it changes drastically, they may have a hard time adapting.

also on a side note if you think drunk marths fsmash spamming is bad then you dont know **** about drunk peach. resist throwing that dsmash i dare you! its impossible.

I beat Tec0 in a Fox ditto while we were both drunk.. lol. When I'm tired, I don't really see much difference in tournament since the hype I feel in tournament never goes away and that definitely wakes me up.
