Analysis: The Effects of Salt 

@King of The Zinger some simply refuse to adapt

That crit damage though

@King of The Zinger I'm in that awful zone where I'm fine at the start of a season 'cause I know the basics, but can't adapt past that when I finally start fighting people who know that their Dragon Punch hard-counters every approach I have. This comment was posted by the Half-Decent Casual Gang.

it sound like a Yakuza sidequest if ive ever seen one

No no no that has transcended pass a fighting game nay transcended pass a game it is no longer being played for fun it is no longer being played for the entertainment of the players it is being played to have a stroke due to the immense sodium inside your bloodstream no longer do you feel that this “game” s fair you want to break your opponents neck due to the pure sodium spamming in your body

In essence yes...also that game is fucking brutal....Me and my buddies still play it when we drink, Its caused fights xD

There's a mod for Smash Bros. Brawl that does the same thing

I tried the game a few times, It was absolute hell

Gabcard Pretty much the same in Smash Ultimate

Overwatch in a nutshell.

exactly, its not a "fuck this" situation, its a "fuck you" situation. You gave that bitch a grape, fuck you,

😂😂😂😂 that's a fantastic observation dude. What a smart lil angry fella

Lmao good story 👍🏼

What game let’s AI take over? That’s kinda a neat mechanic

@@boudou04 I'm assuming you hate DBFZ.

@@boudou04 salt.

Unless there isn't a good way to beat it

@@zek62482 At that point I either try to learn their character and try to beat them at their own game, or stop playing the game entirely if their character is boring to play. However an actual unbeatable tactic is so rare I've never had to.

"Things seem unfair until you find a way to use against other people."

@@Lady-V Exactly this. When I find myself repeatedly getting stomped by a certain tactic and I have no idea how to counter it, I just make a point of picking that character myself and trying the tactic against skilled players. It's guaranteed you'll very quickly find out what the best way to counter it is.

Even if you do find a good way to beat it, that doesn't excuse things like that garbage Street Fighter hitbox glitch.

lol lmao

Bro that’s some big brain trolling

Nah you just outplayed them

Zhuge Liang opening the city gates to trick his enemy into retreating

Well you're technically win by outsmarted them XD

Hoping that Arc makes another Sailor Moon fighting game that is also broken and salt inducing

Sad those guys don't know about One Must Fall, it's almost entirely constructed around this concept *on purpose.* Quite funny how we have two games, designed completely without knowledge of each other, opposite ends of the globe, that would essentially be so similar. In fact some of the broken pieces are even explained canonically. The Pyros (marsbot) for example causes utterly *massive* chip damage, gameplay wise because every flame is a separate sprite, aka "hit". In other words you aren't killed by _one_ chip hit, but over 20 occuring in the same assault (which made sense if you think about it, fire *should* have a literal "burn effect") In story canon, some bots like Pyros are created specifically *from* salt. Christian, the designer, had his ass handed to him by the agile supremacy of the Shadow and Jaguar. (Who are essentially Smoke and Liu Kang as giant robots) The brokeness of the Pyros' counters and flames are to specifically negate the advantages of the most agile bots. (Like leaping in, block prepared, then hammering before even their quickest attack animation finishes, blocking deals *more* damage in this case than just taking the hit) It's essentially a "fuck you guys" win button to their respective pilots. Meanwhile the Thorn exists to counter the Pyros by being a raging bull. It is invulnerable while at full charge and is built entirely around having massively powerful throws, being able to pluck the Jaguar from the air mid-jump (ala the Sagat example above but in reverse) or rush through the Pyros' fireballs with no damage, tossing it before it can recover from the attack animation. And fire "hurts" just about everyone equally because they all require light armour to be as agile as they are. You wouldn't try using Jeet Kune Do in plate mail without being The Mountain, after all. As far as Jaguar and Shadow go, they are both built around exploiting stuns. You can legitimately re-stun before they can land, if you're quick enough. You can spend an entire match helpless and cherry picked vs a Shadow pro. There is a reason why despite the lethality and brutality of its fights, and how easily some characters dominate the others, it sits eternally at a 4.6/5 rating. All the crushingly salty scrubby goodness was intentional and crafted with TLC. Every single bot aside from the final boss (Nova) has a mechanic or two that would be derided as an exploit in any other fighting game. Some matches are basically won at the outset, by letting the other guy choose first, then *specifically* picking its direct counter. The Nova (final boss) is oddly the least skill based. It's just a very large, very heavily armoured (2.5 times health) damage sink that can kill in 2 to 4 hits. (Even he has a Japanese equivalent too, Asura Blade's transforming golem knight Talos) His "exploit" is simply outright ignoring everyone else's, lol. His basic attacks do as much as a full combo from any other. It's like they looked at the most enraging and cheap Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat moves, then built entire characters around each. And it is *amazing.* (plus comes with a few of its own, due to the art style) Also for additional salt, the game takes random screenshots as you play. Post fight, you not only get a standard win quote from the other guy, but a TV fight reporter showcasing all your greatest fails talking smack about how shitty you were doing, and how your opponent probably felt like he was fighting a training dummy or retarded school child, or giving "helpful suggestions" on how to "git gud" like "not blocking that with your face"

@Romano Coombs i dont remember supports getting kills and carrying games though.

Syndrome best villain

@@Poglavnit_Pferdefuhrer ... I'm legitimately surprised I remember that game. I actually knew nothing about the canonical lore or why the bots seemed as broken as they were, but it's really fascinating to know about that.

@@Poglavnit_Pferdefuhrer I gotta admit that I haven't played enough versus One Must Fall to tell if it is broken or genius, but it's a lot of fun... It lets you combo off of throws and just that mechanic is *so much fun* , it's astounding that no other game ever let you do that.

Yikes, SF2 Honda hands, especially the heavy version, is definitely a strong move but spamming it is asking to be jumped in on..

@@kingkrispy5289 Well it was at the beginning of everything when we were all feeling out the characters and competitive SF2 hadn't really started except the skirmishes. Can't blame him for thinking spamming was the way. I wasn't even sure I could jump it.

@@angrytheclown801 yeah fair, I remember the first and only time I played SF2 on an arcade cabinet I somehow liked Honda the most and Honda happened to be the one with the super powerful mashing attack..

The mindset is that both players aren't having fun except for the few moments when the winner sees a victory screen

@@dry7560 Ya that complaint is valid too if you dont know how to counter projectile spam like me lol.

In a fighting game yes . But when abusing something broken against a new player in any sort of fps or card game that has money involved Id give a pass

@@bungodunko4123 lmao mood I get so impatient and choke every time against projectiles

And if you are playing as little mac and someone accuses you of only caring about winning its not likely to be true

in the Navy salt relates to experience.

Yes but it's unhealthy af.

@@damsen978 That makes salt even more accurate to that behavior, from both sides.

@@elyetimx6045 Exactly, you understood what i meant.

Its coarse and rough and irritating, and it gets everywhere

I wouldn't put Smash with SF or Tekken, or even fighting games, but yeah, Smash players are salty AF.

When I was a kid I wanted to get into SF and MvC in the arcades, but I had no knowledge and the community was just too ... harsh. I would spend some quarters into practicing, only to have a veteran suddenly put quarters in, challenge and mop the floor with me. It was very discouraging to say the least. 20+ years later I picked up Skullgirls. I practiced and got somewhat better. Tried my luck in online and won a couple of matches, until one guy just played in a whole different level. He best me good, and I texted him about how amazed I was with his techniques and how his skill was way beyond mine. He replied with: Don't worry, keep practicing and you will get there. For the first time ever playing this types of games I felt encouraged to continue. I wonder if that would've happened if I had been playing one of the highly competitive ones.

@@R.DeMora i don't usually comment on youtube but you you deserve some guidance, practice your combos and techniques, watch pro players and try to understand the reason behind what they do, if you lose a match then find out what you did wrong and rectify your approach. One last advice, don't be predictable

@@justfriendsgamin5567 Thanks for the pointers. I got myself one of the BlazBlue games and If I thought Skullgirls was thorough with its tutorial, BlazBlue is practically an encyclopedia of even the common terminology. It all feels like I'm studying a complex subject and quite honestly I like it :)

​@@R.DeMora the good thing is the skill and experience you will gain overtime will be used in other fighting games, just don't be like me and stop playing for years XD

The scrub's reality marble is full of broken sticks and pads that are thrown at the opponent after every loss.

So Sanford Kelly's reality marble? Ok.

You win this comment section!

Now win my servant, i command it by my commandseal!

@@kenonerboy No don't, that's broken

True. Its also important to be able to stay focused while playing in front of an audience or when the opponent is on match point. Or when things are getting clutch in general

I know far too many people who get fucking furious and blame everyone else for their own mistakes in games. While I can get a bit salty too, its only briefly and I can then sort of comment on my own stupidity, but man, some people are relentless. I think I learned to take it more easy when I played SC2 1v1's and got into fighting games as they started to appear on PC more. Tekken 7 is the most fun 1v1 shit out there right now. With 1v1's, you can only blame yourself. If you lose to some character, its because you didn't study their moves, didn't go to practice mode to see how you can counter/punish them and then lose a few times against real people and learn how to apply those techniques in a real environment. It's all about becoming better, feeling good when you learn something new and so on. It's also about accepting that you aren't the best player out there, infact, you fucking suck. You are bottom of the barrel trash, but you can get out of there. You can get better if you learn how to have fun, have a good time and learn from your mistakes. I think that all those team based FPS gamers should play some 1v1 games. Maybe then they would realize that its them who suck at the games and not their team or whatever other excuses they always come up with.

Very true. There is also an aspect of this that is tied to someone's inherent personality: reactivity. It's something that can only change gradually after years of effort. It's just going to be much harder for someone who is unusually reactive to be able to cope with defeat. It's useful to develop a bag of tricks (coping skills) for dealing with this, such as mindfulness. I would suggest to anyone who struggles with this to be aware that everyone has different levels of reactivity, and it's something that is not simple to change, so don't be too hard on yourself if you really struggle with trying to cope.

ReCharredSigh I dont see athletes suddenly lift 70+ kg weight and immediately become Hercules and not immediately crushed their arm and having everyone laughed and throw tomatoes at them instead of helping them up or calling the ambulance. Thats the Fighting Games Genre and the FGC in a nutshell.

I have no idea what you are trying to explain. If youre acting like the fgc is so toxic and no other esport or sport organization is like that, top athletes are mocked all over twitter when they fail too; see lebron james for instance.

It's all fun and games when everyone knows it's a mess. Which broken thing is most broken? ROUND 1, GO! (if you're unfamiliar with SaltyBet or saturday morning scrublords, have a look)

" I for one am a huge fan of these sorts of "fuck you, player" style games, because when I overcome the obstacles they put in my way it feels like I not only trained my hands to execute whichever maneuvers are necessary to reach the goal, but also like I did it despite all the odds being in the game's favor. The ultimate underdog fantasy." So... you're basically doing exactly what the devs wanted you to. Awesome.

That's why he said "fantasy".

1) The pink girl had the lesser stamina from all characters. The other one pulled a Super finishing move and hit in the beginning, stronger frames of such Andy Bogard Technique. 2) this game, if memory serves well, strength/stamina can be altered as a handicap prior the match.

Thats what i would do but i never said its ur fault. I said " this is how to escape" of course after doing it for a while. You can then use this method to have them understand respect in terms of understanding what you can do vs what ur opponent can do. Like if u keep doing the same approach id punish with a move and everytime during the session they do it. I tell them i saw it.

Your friends shouldn't have been trapped in it if they didn't want to be infinite comboed

But were you wrong??

Salt is making me leave the FGC. Well, that and lag.

predictabo actions from COWARDS

I like Pringles with BBQ flavor

Salt: the DNA of the soul. It shapes our will. It is the culture. It is everything we pass on. Expose someone to anger long enough, they will learn to hate. They become a carrier. Envy, greed, despair... All salt. All passed on. You can't fight nature, scrubs. Wind blows, rain falls, and the strong prey upon the weak.

True it's lag that fucks us up

Pigroach's warcry.

Boomkruncher325 Zzshred Nah fam. If my opponent got scraped first game because he's not too good then decides to play the next game jump back super dash mash auto combo because that's the only way to win. You can bet cerebellas sweet ass Imma be salty! Albeit it's my fault for letting shit play beat me

Dude, the salt only makes the the victory all that better. Very often you both know that he would've won only if he'd done X and you know that he's kicking himself over it. Yes I've been on the receiving end as well, which is why you want to get that runback as much as you do. Schadenfreude and fighting games go hand in hand imo.

Boomkruncher325 Zzshred nah fuck that scrub was mashing cr tech

Radian Good point! A good dish always needs a pinch of salt 8P As long as the opponent shares the same understanding it’s all good. If they don’t see things that way... well...

Thats really only true in games where both players understand they could've won. People dont get salty at close matches. They get salty at perfects and dominant blow outs.

That's because there is actual hope that a game of Street Fighter can be won with your own skills. Games like the Sailor Moon one crush such notions under it's unforgiving heel. But that's the magic of it. It's frustrating to lose in a game, because you're not good enough. It's hilarious to lose a game that was so stacked against you that it's a borderline scam. You don't feel bad, because it doesn't feel like it was the fault of anything but the incompetence of the developers. It's the same logic by which a movie like The Room is more celebrated than so many movies that are more technically competent. When every aspect of execution is so fundamentally broken and with just the right blend of elements that work so as to not hinder your enjoyment, a shitshow can be it's own unique brand of excellent.

I guess it's sort of like street fighter II rainbow edition

Bad people

Raiden3651 I agree, except for rage quitters...no love for them

s3pPuKu7 Agreed. I usually send a good game message to the guy/gal if they played well. If they rage quit, I send them a message mocking them.

I'm like that, to a point. When they are actively refusing any encouragement, that's when I lose any sympathy when they get DP'd or thrown to death.

Work on your own patience then guys. Do yall want more opponents? Youre gonna have to put up with certain behaviors you may not like...but is their behavior hurting you? Most likely it aint. so help em out, and try to expand your own limits.

We use to beat on our younger brother whatever he won at fighting games, now he can kick our ass in real life and in the virtual. And stops playing and won't let us get our revenge if we become too salty LOL. Mainly because now he's about 7 ft tall

You should tell those blokes about One Must Fall, it's actually designed that way on purpose. Pyros is basically a sailor mars mech

I owned the original game and: 1) It was a huge surprise seeing it mentioned here. I wasn't expecting that. 2) I never knew this was actually being played. Even my friends at the time didn't want to play the game. Felt ashamed? 3) I always thought the gameplay was interesting and the game was verily underrated.

Well as a person who has been through all this, it is more like conditioning. Kinda like a drill instructor. You hear the most rancid bs that even on a bad day it doesn’t faze you anymore. Heck, you even laugh at some of them and maybe even say something back. Not to say the things they aren’t harsh, but as long as it’s not physical I think they should be able have that freedom of speech.

@@30ajgo you shouldn't be hearing the most rancid bs, personally i think there should be some sort of life long bans for people that play these games only to feel superior to others or to hurt them, at the end of the day these are videogames and people should play them for fun only, not for degeneracy like this, fighting game banter cant be compared to an actual army sergeant because no one is here fighting for real, its a videogame and delusional people who think its not need to be corrected.

@@mpo48 Well you just a video game. So why do they need a life ban over some “rancid bs” that they said when you can just block em out your life if you can’t take it? Having someone feel superior in a video game is meaningless so why care what they say at the end of the day to the point they need a life ban?

@@30ajgo because someone screaming at your face and acting aggressively does affect you, you cant block people in real life so at the very least events or tournaments should ban people for life for acting like a bunch of monkeys

@@mpo48 How does having someone verbally aggressive (that isn’t threatening your life) affect you other than having thick skin the next time? They shouldn’t be banned for life just cause you can’t take it. That ridiculous and would make the game less amusing when the hype and trash talk is gone. That is made tournaments more fun to see.

Davis Currently having issues in DB Fighterz figuring out why Guard/QC seem to be failing in situations it shouldn't (or at least, afaik having been watching high level play for months now). Some of it comes from my dumb fingers, but other times it just seems to give me the middle finger. Obviously, I AM doing something wrong but I'm not sure if it's something impossible to see like being a frame or two too late/vulnerable or just something basic I haven't picked up on.

cool man funny I personally never use record features in fighters instead I just like fighting until I can spot what I’m doing wrong or habits I need to stop. I find it more involved when you have a friend to spar with as an extra set of eyes paired with ideas can help improvement for not only yourself but your sparring partner

PathBeyondTheDark Sadly I don’t know too much on 2D fighters as I personally don’t enjoy them enough to buy them however I do know that this sounds like a reaction time problem. I’ve had plenty of friends who know what to do and how to do it situations but they physically don’t have the reaction time speed for it. This can also be a lag delay situation . This isn’t a blame it on the lag thing (My motto being fight through the lag) but people tend to focus so much in specific timings that they don’t practice how to do such things when lag is present. If you learn how to fight at least decently in even the worst of lag and understand what lag does to said specific game then this will just further your skill even beyond that of those who practice with out it :3

"I was totally good at my job and then i got unfairly fired!" Sounds like you're salty that your people management isn't as good as you think. You forgot to manage your manager. Your manager sounds like an asshole. Not taking his side here. Just saying you were never winning that game, you just thought you were. BTW, for the non-IT guys here, The IT guys have mad power and might not take well to being fired, so being immediately escorted from the building by security is the normal way to find out that you're fired from an IT job. They do this because having powerful salty people around is dangerous. Annnd that's why artorias here got laid off.

It sounds like IT Guys have left a salty taste in your mouth, and get a kick from trolling IT Guys. But it doesn't matter right after I got laid off, the competitor company as Lead Network Architect and my income incressed by 150%. 60% more then my spiness manager.

*Artorias* - Ouch! Your manager is a douche-bag. It no surprise he does what he does. Since he can't do his do well. He resorts to getting rip of anyone happens to be better than him. *Capta Praelium* - Are you a moron? manage your manager? Sounds like you are one of that spineless agreeable loser, who bends over to managers and pull down people outshines brightly because you can't.

I was an IT guy for decades (retired). I'm just better at office politics than you, and now you're getting salty because not only do you suck at people management, you also can't handle being told so. Like UN said "It's no surprise he does what he does" and yet, you were surprised. You dun fucked up. I'm not trolling you, I'm telling you where you failed so that you can gitgud. Not everyone who points out your failures is your enemy. UN, you're a noob to office politics apparently. yes, 'manage your manager'. There are books about it. It's not about bending over or pulling people down, let's describe this like it's a game so you'll get it: It's about pushing your team forward with you, and defending yourself or your team against people with weapons like the ability to instantly escort you from the building. If you attack that enemy, and you have no weapon that can beat him, you know what's gonna happen. You're gonna lose, and be escorted from the building.

Capta Praelium, sounds to me you love bootlicking and bending over to your managers disgusted as office politics. You have issues brah.
