Mirror Match - Love or Hate?

[Rui83DeathMetal]

Title
Do you love or hate playing against the character your main?
I play Zangief and i hate mirror matches :D
I despise sharing the power of MY LOYAL FANS!! :D :P
How about you? Do you like playing against the same char?
Every reason counts :D

I usually don't have much difficulty against my fellow Cammies, but I'm always honored to get owned by one.

I used to feel a bit overly competitive and sabotaged myself. That definitely reflected on my winrate which was below 40%.
However, after having started to approach every mirror as be being the inferior player who tries to learn from my opponent's tech, I feel much more relaxed. Seemingly that helped as my winrate against other Cammy players is above 85% now.

I think that changed my perspective since now I mirror matches are by far my favourite match ups. Yes, nobody is responsible for losing in a fighting game but oneself, but in a mirror your truly see your weaknesses. I think that is the best way to grow as a player.

Mirrors are good. They're the best to show how bad you really are and there's no running away from the facts. In the end you lost to the same character you're yourself using so you've got nothing to do but suck it up and learn.

Play more mirrors if you can people

Depends on the player. I'd like to have an option to block them, though (my main is Ken. 'Nuff said).

I played online 60 faitings but I don't meet AKI players

Love mirror matches. I find it a bit irritating losing when someone just has better tools than me. A mirror match makes a completely even match up its just about your skill.

Hate them 100%. Playing and watching.

This right here. I love seeing what people do with my main and try to apply what I'm seeing.

Mirror matches are also the most balanced a match can be.

Mirror matches are great because if you're better, it's a great opportunity to show off. And if you're not better, it's a great opportunity to learn. Also whether you're better or not, it's an amazing opportunity to steal tech. You nearly always learn stuff from mirror matches.

And let's be real, if it wasn't a mirror match it'd be a Ken. Are you really losing anything?
