Tips on not getting tilted?

[Zer0]

So it's an odd one, and one that typically the answer would be just have fun and don't take it too seriously, but while I'm usually really chill with competitive games this one gets me tilted really easily lately.

If you play ranked you need to accept that you will be losing 50% of games like nearly everybody else.
That realisation may help with salt.

Aye that's true, I do feel like I often struggle to get consistent wins outside of placements.

Tbf though even friendlies with my mate has me on edge on sometimes.

(probably doesn't help that out of the 4 fighters I've ranked with, I'm lowest on the one I want to main the most and am told is one of the strongest fighters XD)

take frequent breaks and stretch/work out a bit

I know the feeling. Take a break from the game. Go touch grass. If you aint planning on beating daigo it doesnt matter what rank you get or how great you are. Just play from the having fun mindset and not the I wanna be the next daigo mindset.

Play to improve and not to win, the wins will come when you figure out how to deal with the stuff that tilts you. Losing is your fault and blaming the enemy will always be the death of having fun

Try to find small improvements in each match. Maybe you teched a grab loop you've been struggling with, or maybe you got an extra perfect parry. I find trying to focus on improvements helps with tilt levels.
Sometimes, I just need to stop playing before the tilt gets super wobbly in my head though.

Switch game after 5 matches. Come back a bit later.

I just talk to myself out loud like a crazy person, that usually calms me down

I'd say go into training mode and practice more than you do play actual ranked matches and find people to just run tons of matches with to improve at the game. When you feel salty it's probably because you're losing to something you know you should beat but you aren't because you can't adapt fast enough. Just find out if you actually want to get good at fighting games or not as well, cuz if you do then but in the effort to learn matchups you struggle with n stuff but if you don't just use modern controls and mash lmaoo

No it's cause am a scrub who doesn't DI in response most of the time XD
I see it coming, I know I I can simply hit as a response but am likely already committing to buttons or forgetting XD DI's annoy me more cause I know I don't utilize them well hahaha

Play like Ryu.
Victory doesn't matter, only the fight. Or something.

I have my matchmaking character set to Random so I expect to lose constantly as I learn new ones but I've never been a salty person so a lot of this stuff goes over my head.

If an opponent is spamming Drive Impact and you keep getting caught in it, slow your game down and limit your attacks to 1 or 2 moves. Start playing really close to your opponent so you can throw them out of Drive Impact.

Slowing down the pace of the game can disarm the surprising nature of Drive Impact.

Same. This game is infuriating. And this comes from someone who has played CSGO, League of Legends, Apex Legends and Overwatch. Nothing comes close to the rage I get in this game.

And this guy just perfectly described what I fu****ng hate about this game. When a guy turtles down and just waits for you to do something so he can retaliate. It is annoying gameplay, especially against those "spam" projectile type of units.
