Sidenote: Why We Like Teams 

Wow, you’ve enlightened me. Thanks!

Mind blown

Wait, *W H A T*

Well I feel stupid. 😂 That's really clever

I never realized that. WOW.

Go Jackets!

My guy go and watch it! It is so hype! Qudan's (2017 world champion) team vs an All-japanese all gigas team. either here ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-rEc81V0I0fA.html or here ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Q-BxEADpqTE.html (Aris (avoidingthepuddle) restream)

Oh hey you're into this too Rad

Just a fan of your channel, have a good day

Hope you watch, I really don't wanna spoil anything for you, but it was hella hype!

now there's a scary story for you to tell "my team played against koreans at evo"

Logan McNeil Awesome comment if original

yeah awesome comment if original

Logan lmao

I'm the 4th reply reply.

I dropped by diugh for this video. I'm in pain but totally worth it.

that's the spirit

This is why I love fighting games. Everything is your fault and no is to blame. (Unless it’s a co-op competition)

Someone's been playin Overwatch.

Brandonious15987 or league of legends

@@Strider119119 That's where you're wrong bucko, every character is cheap except mine.

Because is core a gaming.

That's my wife

Because is Korea gaming.

stfuuuuu

Would you say it was a one frame link?

Sire Only the most technical of one frame links

Just Frame link clicking - truly a Korean level technique.

years of training required for such precise reaction time

Same here, only love for you and this channel.

Same, I found this channel and got hooked, later I played USF IV on an event in my town and got addicted to playing

Lots of depth to fighting games

@@nekuchan900 thats awesome

I am now a guilty gear nerd

Good comment, make sense

Agreed, plus leaving them behind during the action event certainly didn't help matters. Maybe it was hard to be aware of it in the moment (she was behind them after all) but it almost sounded like the rest of the team just straight up didn't care and kept on trucking. Obviously she already fucked up by falling behind in the first place but a big part of recovering from mistakes is getting out of your own head and I can't imagine how terrifying it was in that moment to fall so far behind, she probably couldn't have caught back up even if she wanted to once that kind of anxiety set in. Certainly training is going to be one of the most important things but they probably also would have had a better result if they whole team slowed down a bit and then focused on recovering as a group when that weakest link does break.

Yeah those other broads just had a temper tantrum that cost their team more than just a loss. It's the last member's time that counts. So instead of trying to salvage what seconds they could by dragging her they just threw the game in favor of displaying their own personal performance that's not even being evaluated in this discipline. May not be bullying but it's unsportsmanlike as AF.

@@bennymountain1 I didn't like it either, but we've all been part of a team with "that person" who just doesn't hack it, and it destroys moral just as, if not, even faster. Sometimes you have to be willing to lose a leg, if only so you can crawl to safety.

She obviously never watch those sports anime xD

Well put.

Team games are cool to watch but I don't like playing them because when you win in such a game, there's a chance that the win has nothing to do with your skills or gameplay. I've seen way too many esports games where a noob gets a free win because he was carried by a teammate with superior skill and people bitching in a loss because their teammates are bad. I like the fgc because it forces you to have a hard look at yourself so you can objectively admit to yourself your skill level and you have nobody to blame for your loss.

@@r.c.beringuela2426 There's a chance that you won in a solo game because your opponent messed up or overestimated you and played incorrectly. Which would mean you only one because of your opponents misfortune not your own skill. That's an okay opinion to have, but not a solid one.

You opponents overestimating you or messing up is part of the game. It's just a tell that you're better than them. In a moba or fps game, there's someone to pick up your slack in case you messed up. In a fighting game, a single mistake could spell your defeat. I had so many losses due to messing up my combos and I had only myself to blame for my losses. Those losses taught me that my execution wasn't good enough and that I had to up my execution so I won't mess up my inputs.

@@r.c.beringuela2426 Not necessarily true. You can be facing any opponent in a 1v1 game who has a higher execution frequency, uses more advanced and basics strategies alike with consistency. Clearly can outplay you with ease. But made enough mistakes in which you came off with a lucky win(s). That doesn't mean you are better than them. There's also the fact that some players at higher levels might not have fully grasped how to beat lower level player meta. That's certainly a thing, when a player advances too quickly without taking out the time to understand how the meta shifts. You're not wrong, but it's not that simple.

Who know Rip would be alpha and not shit himself over a girl tryna high five him.

Noooo I searched for someone commenting that, it's so saaaaad ;0; hahaha

To be fair it was an exciting moment for him and she was behind him. It would be easy not to notice. But yeah that probably felt a little awkward for her.

@@Lady-V I mean she tapped his back like 6 times waiting for a high 5...

@@soulreaperx7x Oh I didn't notice that.

smart comment

(thats why we play tf2 on anything but ctf)

comp tf2's individual to team balance is what overwatch was tryong to do

It's also why Heroes of the Storm is a bad game for showcasing big individual player skill. Individual players and their abilities are intentionally weak to prevent even 1 Vs 1 combat from being viable when time to kill and damage per hero is so low, it forces working together or teamfights to make any sort of progress, also all xp rewards are split between the team hugely reducing a single player from becoming much stronger from their individual successful play. The big skillfull plays from star players that you see in League and Dota simply do not exist in HotS, making the game much less popular as a result.

OMEGALUL VERWATCH

@@cattysplat Which really speaks to a sadly human need for ego-stroking on the part of players and idol-worship on the part of the audience. Still, a good player can most definitely impact the course of a HotS game - just not to the extent of single-handedly carrying a team of retards. I honestly feel like HotS is a case of 'not the game we want, but the game we need'.

Online rando matchmaking is not team play.

@@sammichu1906 GW2 was salty?

@@sammichu1906 oh, now those were not as common for me

@@sammichu1906 yeah that happened but from my experience it was a rare thing to occur

@Da Savage09 metal slug is considered very obscure now?

so thats why she seemed familiar :V

@@HellecticMojo Nah. The name Fio might be a bit hard for people who haven't played the games in a long time to remember, but the series as a whole has a decent following.

I got the reference.

I never forget...Fio ! ~

Agree the drama of single is so much more like an underdog grinding there way through a tournament of killers. Team events have there place but they shouldnt replace solo

I still remember Gamerbee's grind during the last SF4 EVO. He was the heroic underdog who slayed all the demons only to fail at grand finals probably due to a controller malfunction on his opponent's part. That shit was dramatic and I almost cried at that.

@@r.c.beringuela2426 that 2015 USF4 bracket was the most hype thing ive ever watched. All the big names falling through out the bracket. Gamerbees run was so awesome that whole top at 8 was amazing plays after amazing plays. Poor gamerbee he beat all his demons only to lose in such a shitty way. The emotion after was something special that would be lost in team format

Same, i like team stuff sometimes, i think its cool but singles is the whole essence of fighting games.

Teams are party or for fun stuff,the true fgc only take that duel for real

Missing out on MK9, Brawlhalla and For Honor has to suck for you

Same for me. I like Deathmatches in FPS, I like mobas. But my favourite game is one on one fighting games. (Except SFV, that game is for babies)

Beto Hernandez you mean “we” :D (lol just realized you can be plural too)

To a certain degree that still holds true even if fighting games turn into a team sport. It is still 1vs1 in the end. All your matches are dictated by your own performance.

@@ryllian1 true but the odds aren't fair if your team mates are bad. If you're the anchor and every match all of your teammates get knocked out with only you to win the whole things it's quite different than 5 matches with Bo3 style.

If DBFZ did this Japan would be like unstoppable xD Kaz + Go1 + Dogura dream team. In the west I think the best we could muster is Sonic + Hook + ... Nakkiel? Or maybe Chris G or Appologyman as the last (or maybe replace Hook with one of them). Unless the guy who won Smash Evo and mained A. 21 joins the team. I forget his name. It'd be hype though, but I feel like the East would have the best team which that would kinda be where the competition goes, you'd have top tier characters defining events but also top tier players that would define the tournament scene and realistically if you don't have at least 2 players who either are or can hold a candle to the top players then you're kinda rip. And since the top players are trying to win, they are heavily incentivised to team up together and make dream teams to blow everyone else out through attaining a monopoly on Skill so to speak. In some competitive envirornments where the number of highly skilled consistently topping players is small, it can create situations where 1 or 2 teams really matter while the rest are just there hoping for a fluke. I'd still be suuuuuper hyped to see such an event happening though. Don't mind me, just dropping an uninformed opinion XD there's probably more teams that would matter than those 2 and depending on how the event is run it could be more possible for upsets to happen because seeding such an event would be awkward.

There's a book on life philosophy called "Extreme ownership". One of the points made there is that underperforming teammates are also your responsibility and you have to do what you can to help them improve instead of using them as an excuse for your failure or straight up giving up and quitting in your case.

@@bennymountain1 You're assuming a lot about me and my past, and knowing absolutely nothing of it.

Well that is if you are good on the team. If you suck you feel more like a liability which is one of the worst feelings.

Nurima stop that

@@Parmaharm no

MrPomegranX [Matoi] NO! Stop it! Get some help!

Micos lol

ppl said this on another vid with her also lol

VampCoffee I think that was also me. Check the Tekken video they did not too long ago.

UwU Qudans Qudans: UwU im hewwusweeping you uwu

I was surprised when I learned that other team formats don't function the same way Smash does it. It provides ever player on the team a chance to make an impact without letting the absolute best players completely body entire teams. It's near perfect.

And it serves for the most insane comebacks. Armada and Android vs Leffen and Ice comes instantly to mind as one of, if not the best 2v1 comeback in smash history.

@@akerguido9399 honestly curious how smash does team games differently, got a link to that match?

Which is why people prefer to pick a good person to be in the team, mostly friends that has the same levels as you.

Hehe. If you ever heard of Legend of thunder, then he has the perfect answer for that. _"I'm tired of being LeBron James in these lobbies."_

But then when a team gets a streak of wins, they're guaranteed to win, making the remaining matches redundant. That's arguably worse. The last player should have the chance of bringing it back

@@YadonTheCat at any point a team can switch someone out to someone who hasnt won yet. But the point being weak players love team games because there is always someone else to blame, and if they are on a winning team, they get carried to a level they dont deserve. Its like a bench warmer who gets multiple champsionship wins because the rest of the team is carrying, it makes no sense in a 1v1 format to not have everyone prove their worth. If you cant nab 1 win vs 5 people you dont deserve to be on the team

Doom2Guy I think he means that instead of knocking someone out who loses, you eliminate the people that win. So the winning team is the team that gets all their members to win a game before the other team can. Personally I don’t like this way because it reduces the chance of some crazy upset/comebacks, but I see his point that it does make the competition more fair.

i disagree because if let's say teams were composed of 3 people then once you win 2 rounds the match would be over. Having the winner move on makes for more possibility of comebacks.

This is why you’re not the one organizing team events

GhostSan64 Um, do you think this game is glitchy melee or something?

@@MrPomegranX I think he was talking about people getting salty online, no need to bring up melee lol

@@MrPomegranX melee is sick

@Cunt The thing about melee that bothers me is that it’s super broken, most of the “tech” are glitches, and the fact that only top tiers are viable. I didn’t see the same problem when I played Smash 4 competitively. I play Melee to have fun, (at the time it was 100% party game) I just don’t see the appeal of the competitive scene compared to Sm4sh and Ultimate coming up.

Ok
