For anyone that saw my first thread on the topic, I know have video evidence of what exactly Jade does to me.
First thread: https://testyourmight.com/threads/i-cant-beat-this-character.72834/
These two videos are the last two games (I won the first game) of a Kombat League set and I think perfectly represent what I was talking about in that thread. I was streaming too a hefty ZERO viewers at the time but didn't have my Twitch settings set up to keep past broadcasts, so had to get this footage from reliving the trauma and recording it on my PS4 lol.
2nd game of the set:
Last game of the set:
I'm hoping this let's people get what I meant exactly by that first thread. If I could have captured the audio you would have heard me have a minor mental breakdown after the second game. I was already a few beers in and had been in a bad mental state all day, so this really, REALLY hurt.
I just want to enjoy playing my favourite franchise EVER again (I mean, I have the fucking logo tattoed on my leg ffs). I'm putting myself through this in an attempt to try and develop that thick skin that seems to be needed when playing online. I say that because I've been playing at a competitive level since the launch of MK X, so I'm used to facing opponents in a mostly offline setting and on that same level that think about the game from a technical and more measured perspective. This is why Kombat League players fuck me up so much.
I also want to shine a light on something I don't see (at least from what I remember) creators and/or community members talking about very much and that's the mentality that goes into playing at this level.
Updating this (22/04/2020) with one of my comments just in case people miss it.
A lot of you guys are missing the point ,which to be fair I didn't make very well at the time considering I was acting emotionally and a few too many beers in hahaha. This isn't about matchup knowledge, I mostly know what is punishable. This is about the play style that 99.5% of Jade players use which a lot of the time tilts and frustrates me into oblivion.
So yeah, what I'm trying to unravel and understand more is what goes into tilting, how to better keep your composure under pressure and the anxiety around it all. It's a bit personal but I feel like I'll never get to the next level of competitive play without getting past this.
