"Each human being has the right to two
blessings, which are: the blessing to do right, and
the blessing to err. In the latter case, there is always
a path of learning leading to the right way."
This is what I was thinking today when we were playing Quote. I feel like you view any sort of short coming in gameplay in the wrong sense. I understand that you want to get better at the game. But it's important to remember the shortcomings in their proper context.
"We also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not disappoint us."
You are losing for a reason. What you need to do is understand those reasons. But along the way, you need to realize that losing is the only way to the path of truly winning. You'll earn it if you keep chasing it.
But what I see and hear from you when you play is just pure frustration when you lose. It's ok to lose. Getting over your fear of and disdain of losing will go a long way in helping you win, in my opinion.
Once you realize it's ok to lose, you'll soon start yourself on the path of the way to win.
I use a phrase, "Advancing the metagame one loss at a time."
Just because you're losing doesn't mean you aren't getting better. But you need to be losing in radically different ways in order to improve. Test things. Note what works. Note what doesn't.
We played sets today where I continually just walked forward with MK and ftilted you over and over. And you didn't try anything different at all. You had the same response of spot dodging . Over and over again. Had you pulled a nade and rolled away, it would have punished me for doing that.
There have been numerous sets that I've played with elite players where I've intentionally lost just to try what works and doesn't work when playing against high level competition.
There also have been sets where I've been trying to win, but lose because I repeatedly do the same losing strategy over and over.
You just gotta be like water:
"The warrior of light sometimes behaves like water, flowing around the obstacles
he encounters.
Occasionally, resisting might mean being destroyed, and so he adapts to the circumstances. He accepts without complaint that the stones along the path hinder his way across the mountains.
Therein lies the strength of water: it cannot be shattered by a hammer or wounded by a knife. The strongest sword in the world cannot scar its surface.
The waters of a river adapt themselves to whatever route proves possible, but
never forgets its one objective: the sea. So fragile at its source, it gradually
gathers the strength of the other rivers it encounters.
And, after a certain point, its power is absolute."
TLDR - to get better, you can't be afraid to try new things. you can't be afraid to lose. You can't be afraid to get better.
Fear nothing. Risk everything
