Recently, I'm finding it so hard to stay motivated to play Smash 4, and I'm finding it incredibly frustrating. I took maybe a 3 or 4 week break from playing, and then I came back to it but nothing changed.
My local area has no Smash scene at all, only one of my friends plays Smash 4, and he barely has time to play.
I also have trouble keeping my cool. I was just playing some For Glory on Smash 4 3DS, and I played a few games. The first game was against a Shulk player who, was I'd say about average, I won and moved on, feeling decent, even though it was slightly laggy.
I moved on to the next round and I was against a King Dedede, but like an idiot I ran into two forward smashes TWICE, and on the second stock I got salty and falcon kicked and SDd on purpose with the King Dedede laying down staring into my soul with that smug face of his.
Then I move on to a Luigi and I get my ass completely handed to me. I can't approach, I forget everything Captain Falcon related, I can't space, I can't approach, I'm frustrated, and as the frustration builds, I throw out dumb knees and Falcon Punches and get punished hard. The game ends and I'm sitting there hot and flustered and angry.
I promise you I don't have anger issues of ANY kind. Smash 4 just seems to bring out the absolute worst in me and I need to figure out why, and target it, and stop it from happening, because I effing love this game, and I want to get as good as I possibly can and kick ass.
I naturally have a really competitive spirit, but when I play Smash 4, as you can tell by my language and how I'm typing this out, I go from regular me, who I think is a kind individual, to mecha-hitler in about 3 seconds.
Does anyone else get like this? Is it just me?
It happens when people taunt-spam too, like when people get lucky during lag with non-momentum based characters that relish in throwing out random aerials and smash attacks to rack up damage, all the while I'm not able to land moves with my character because the lag is hurting me much more.
However, this being said, I'm extremely grateful already, only being on here 2 days and having received advice from some kind people, which doesn't happen very often on most other places on the Internet, especially message boards!
My game plan right now is to stick with a Skype group I just joined which is dedicated to my main: Captain Falcon, and learn from the pros. Even if I get destroyed in the process. Friendlies are less laggy and more fun and relaxed in my opinion.
On to staying motivated and inspired. What inspires and motivates you guys/girls to carry on playing?
Sorry if my language is offensive, I'm just frustrated at how bad just did. I look back at video clips I've saved where I'm going in hard, and now I'm just sloppy.
