This brings back some very salty memories.
I actually start to enjoy these matches now that I know how to get around them. I used to HATE fighting anyone who used Jacqui or the likes to 'spam' their way to victory. I played someone similar over the last couple weeks, who would spam Jacqui, Shinnok and a few others, but I beat him each time and he would rage quit. Makes me laugh. I'll have to post the video to share once I get around to uploading it.
Why fear the even win/loss ratios?
Chances are, many of them play/spar with higher level players than themselves. I try to when I can and I'd say my w/l is fairly even.
I used to go crazy on neutral because I didn't know better. I play more on defense / safe zoning now and go in as needed for a punish.
Who's your character?
Same here my friend. I've played he MK series since the beginning, but this is also my first as a more competitive fighter. My two mains are Ermac and Kitana. I have a bunch of videos I recorded from over a month ago up until now. So many things have changed since. It's nice to see my progression, although I do still slip from time-to-time doing unsafe things.
Yeah it's amazing how much your play improves once you grasp the concepts of the fundamentals. I do the same. Actually went back and watched some older recordings a couple days ago was blown away like, "my god you were foolish". Every single one of my character's specials are unsafe so it's only natural that I take some risks. Sometimes it's a great payoff, sometimes it costs me the match. But that's the name of the game, really lol.
