well "little" by relative means, hes 15 and stuck here while irene passes as they live on a bay
so I showed him mortal kombat last night, because he saw part of the stream and went "is that.....mortal kombat" and I knew he'd probably find it to be the greatest thing ever (I had to play damage control with his mom when he played SCIV a couple years back and saw all the bouncy bits that I somehow thought wouldn't be a big deal...)
Problem is....it was soooooo hard to teach him the basics of the game. he knows soul calibur, but claims he can mash in that game. I loaded up a sub mirror in training to start. I figured I'd start with 22. He did 22 fine. He did 224 fine. Then every time after that he did 2222222222122222222. I tried to explain that you don't need to hit the buttons so much or so hard, but I don't know if that helped.
Next I tried to explain how to do the iceball. At first he just tried to do the diagonal + 3. Then once I told him it was two inputs he just did d3 b3 f3 d3 b3 d3 d3 d3 d3 mashed to infinity. He got it once or twice but still struggled
Its weird because I've seen him play Tony Hawk and do crazy manual to kick flip to special grind to manual, ad nasuem, but for some reason 22 and 22df3 is just too alien to him? I finally showed him Noob Saibot and he just did down-up and f33...good enough I guess. He also told me his friend gets mad when they play tekken because "he spams the same move"
I was able to explain to him the values of "playing to win" when he told me his friend gets mad at him for "spamming" in tekken, so that next encounter will be interesting I'm sure. *trollface*
