What's The Point of Living, Book Recommendations, and How to Play Pad | Ask Diaphone 

This is the funniest title for a video i’ve seen in a while lmao

one thing that was really crippling my enjoyment of FGs for a while was struggling to accept that even if i put in the work every single day, some days i'm just not going to be able to do my best, and that's OK and shouldn't stop me from doing what i can. everybody has things outside their control that will affect their emotions and their ability to focus and execute, and even if you've got your whole life really together, things are gonna vary from day to day. it doesn't matter how much muscle memory you've built up or how good your reactions and strategy are if you're distracted because (for example) a friend or loved one is seriously ill, or you had an awful day at work, someone crashed into your car, etc etc. fighting games can be a nice relief or distraction from anxiety-inducing IRL stuff outside your control, but on days when it's serving that purpose, your performance is not going to be at its best. there'll be days when you effortlessly pull off your combos and others where you drop them constantly, but the practice gained in both cases is still valuable.

BANGER title lmao

I don't know if the diamond 2 guy will read these comments but I also got stuck there. Eventually I pushed past and grinded to Master. The biggest change I made was just making sure I was getting more damage. I carried myself past diamond 1 basically with fundamentals, but I was doing very unoptimized combos and fixing that really made a difference. If you're leaving easy damage on the table, you're probably just forcing yourself to need more touches per round than the opponent.

My training routine is all knocked down scenarios after combo or grab, etc. CPU is set to mash or grab for me to practice meaties and setplay. Practice safe jump scenarios. Anti air scenarios. The most generic simple bnbs. One extra thing per session, can be a super hard combo or a sequence you want to nail. In most cases it's just training to stop drive rush. Do this everyday. This is what a coach gave me and said to apply to any fighting game I would be ok. So far so good.

thanks for the wisdom daddyphone

That Magneto mirror was heinous.

Thank for the video😇

missed opportunity to photoshop the diago book's title to The Will to Keep Living

I'm also a pad player and the only gripe I have with the d-pad is that sometimes I would accidentally trigger jump when pressing left/right. There's no way to customize a deadzone on the d-pad itself. Am I the only one with this problem?

The art of learning is great Edit - fuck yeah! You're probably why I read it lol
