Im playing on videogame tourneys since 1997. And on MK tourneys I have over 50 in my back and I STILL GET NERVOUS when playing. Dont know what to do. Thats why you see me rocking in casuals but playing veeeeeery safe in tourney matches... :\

Yeah, I know the feeling and I'll try the music thing. But I don't get nervous all times against the same players, it's wierd.

how do some of you guys over come your nerves during tournament play?

i find myself shaking a lot, especially in the legs.. my heart races and it really effects my play cause im so damn nervous..

i dont think anyone noticed this of me at NEC.

i just played a semi final mk2 online tournament and i wanted to win so bad, but my fucking legs just were shaking a lot, i was getting real frustrated with it..

is there anyone else that suffers form this? and how do you go about over coming this?

i plan on doing some research to find ways to calm myself inside during these tournament matches.. during casual play it NEVER happens

It's funny you mention this, because at WB when I played against Summoning and btbb99 I felt the same way at times. I was in total focus and I played some of the best games I have played in a long time.

i cant stand 1 person watching me play let alone a few hundred so its really hard for me at a tourny 2 keep calm, but i just gotta overcome that issue someday. Wearing a hoodie at brawl helped i guess lol...i needed somethin that wud make me feel closed in my room somehow

when my matches are finished, i just hide in the corner and eat chocolate barz

I'm not nervous. But I have when I started. Some people bring the iPod to listen to music and block out the people....
