Welp, that can either be a great thing or more than likely, a terrible thing.

Just play your cards right and you won't end up like this poor sadsack.

Equip headphones. +20 Charisma.


Relax and think about waifu. You can also ask them to calm down but then you can't pop off and jump out of your chair.

I'm **** so I get **** talked a decent amount, I just try to smile and laugh it off mid-match. Idk, I'm a super momentum based player so it depends on how the match is going when the cheering happens. I've been focusing on mind-sets and maintaining them more than anything else because they affect me way more than they should. Maybe try to twist whatever was happening and use it to fuel a positive mindset that you try to latch on to? Thats what I do.

Oh, you could just git gud

I'm pretty sure no sound reduces my play, though a lot of CRTs are often pretty drowned out in the venue anyways. Since none of the top Melee players use headphones that makes me also not want to.

Hype crowds are easy, Meaningful and Interesting conversation happening right behind you curtails my mind a bit. Unless I'm playing someone I'm probably going to beat; then I can enjoy listening while I win.

And funny you guys are talking about Audio stuff, I just watched yesterday RJD2 going over his stuff I barely grasp

See quote below
play whilst wearing a butt plug. you won't be able to focus on the crowd. just try not to squeal. works for me 99% of the time.

Just yell as loud as you can. people will stop (or laugh.)

Seriously, I just put my headphones so I can't hear them.

I don't really care much about girls in my classes anymore. If I get shot down, it's awkward the rest of the semester. If we hit it off, then I'm practically obligated to talk to her after every class (ugh), and she'll probably wanna do stuff afterwards with friends (UGGGGHHH)...then you break up and it gets awkward anyway. **** dat.
Putting yourself out there(so to speak) is supposed to be done AFTER you've established a livelihood and a future.
School comes first.

Dude, that friendship, could have ended you tho. You coulda became her, "younger brother." Premiere friend zone. ggnore Friendship dangerous

People having mentalities like this, and their priorities this disgustingly skewed =

If you're looking for a quick contest or a one-night stand, don't be so haughty as to involve "friendship". What a farce.
I figured out why Kirby can't be grabbed during his dash attack
Doctor Ninja...

Is your school used for training mecha pilots
Impossible. Mecha do not exist.

...Yet.

You haven't lived in the friend zone as long as I.
Yeah, because I actually try to friends with girls, unlike most of my idiotic gender.
This is not a defensible point of debate that you are on, you know. lol

Tune them out.

If they get really obnoxious, threatening body language/death glares that all but state "Stand down, or I'll put you down. Violently." work wonders for me, but how effective that would be for other people varies heavily.

Not saying I don't try to friend girls up from time to time. I'm talking about the friend zone. Where you, I don't know, try to date someone, but they only see you as their friend.

I tried playing with headphones and played noticeably worse. I need the in-game audio cues to play properly. Other people are different and play better with them but I don't.

I just had to get used to people getting hype. For a while, it was nice because most people would cheer for me. These days it would seem people cheer against me at least in my local scene (winning 7 monthlies in a row will do that to you). I just have to block out the sound and focus on the gameplay, or if something particularly silly is said I have to just laugh at it and shrug it off.

Friend zone is self fulfilling.
The kind of guys that believe in friend zone bull**** are the kind of guys that claim to be stuck in it.

Just a question like that, what kind of audio queue helps you play?

Also, I tried to play without headphones, but every little sound that is happening in the venue distract me and make me play noticeably worse.

Agreed.
It's only an issue if you're expressly seeking a relationship and get none.
Nothing wrong with being just friends, contrary to what fiction and manchildren would like you to believe.

If you don't want to hear other stuff but do need to hear game audio, lots of TVs let you plug in headphones. Problem solved.

Implying that only guys talk about the friendzone and get put in it.

You stand up, turn around, and yell, "AYE SHUT THE **** UP ***** IMA GO OFF ON YO ASS AFTER DIS ****!!!"

Or you just practice trying to keep calm in high stress situations.
