You're acting like Im cocky or something.
This is a horrible lie and you know it.
Meltybread!? O:
OK, then. *ahem*You're acting like Im cocky or something.
Polt there's a difference between self confidence and ego.
I didn't go to gigs saying I was gonna win. I went to gigs saying "Alright, I gotta beat Seibrik, HRNUT, Xfactor, and Chaz, but I also can't underestimate players like Polt, <3, and Fearless".
Go in catiously, and do your homework. GL btw.
Mabye you need A BETTER CHARACTER?OK, then. *ahem*
I'm gonna beat Seibrik, Ally, and M2K.
...I dunno. There more I say it, the less confident I become. I know I have to aim high, but how high? I mean, I'm not saying that it is absolutely out of the realm of possibility, but... you know...
Hm, there is something I am missing here. Something that every other good player had. Maybe I need a teacher? I look at how other people learn by playing matches against people better than them, and the better player would comment on the mistakes the lesser player did. I believe I need someone like that.
Also, I suppose I'm on my own for finding a partner, too. Let's see, someone good that I know who is also going to Pound 4...
You have to accept that even if you are mentally on the same level as those players, their characters have the ability to limit your characters options. Yoshi has great setups out of grab releases, but a good MK can simply not get grabbed. Snake pretty much ***** Yoshi already. If you don't think they're play the matchup near perfectly then you're just underestimating them. If your character doesn't stand a chance then you're not going anywhere, and if you're trying to prove something with your character...good luck. (plus there are a million other good people you have to worry about besides them). 
I do recognize Yoshi to be a bad character, but the thing with him is... it's theoretically possible to win a tournament since he has no match-up 30:70 or worse. So, Yoshi actually DOES stand a chance against anyone, it's just that he has a harder time than many other characters.Mabye you need A BETTER CHARACTER?
Well, I just realized that my current way of thinking is too humble. Like, almost as if I was putting myself down. I want to see where this new mentality will take me.But you're not going to suddenly win ANY tournament just because you got up one morning saying it was gonna happen.
Theoretically and what people discuss on the character boards doesn't matter at the highest level. Within the realm of human ability (and the level at which top players play at) some matchups become closer to 80:20 simply because of the amount of reward a player is able to gain compared to other characters. Im not saying it's not possible, but the level you'd have to play at consistently isn't humanly possible.
You should change up your mentality but that doesnt mean going to every tournament saying you're going to win because that's setting yourself up for failure, which will simply upset you. Accept that you're not going to win with certain characters and you can't get good with any character over night. If you honestly want to get good with Diddy you have to make a commitment, and have as much experience as people you plan to beat. And even then you can still get outplayed. So factorwise, JUST expecting to win doesn't work like that.Well, I just realized that my current way of thinking is too humble. Like, almost as if I was putting myself down. I want to see where this new mentality will take me.
