Haha. Dead or Alive has official soiled my friendship with my bestfriend/roommate/brother...so I use to call him. At this moment I officially don't know what I'll do.
Things started back during the summer of last year when I got kicked out by my Dad. I ended up not having a place to go so his Mom, who offered to have me come live with them, picked me up and helped me get my things together. Unfortunately things got heavy and we ended up having to move over states. By that time me and my "bro" had already developed a interest in my Soul Calibur 4 game. We'd spend hours creating FF characters, Grand Chase Characters, we even made ourselves, and people in our circle, including his girlfriend and the girl I was interested in at the time.
But with everything good, there's always a bad side. I use to rage. Before I played with him, I had a friend(I said the same thing in my introduction about this), and this friend who was actually/still is one of my bestfriends. Dead or Alive damn near soiled our friendship. He was so good at everything, timing, using moves to crush, holding. To top it all off, he never had even came to know DOACentral, or you guy's tactics, he just picked it up. I had to study, and I went from low level, mediocre level player in no time, and I kept growing.
He also rages. Same reason as me... except still different. I like to study tactics and train combos into muscle memory. He doesn't. He likes to have fun. I like that mentality, but I play with the competitive style that we all do here. So I mean obviously I'm going to have a better chance, I understand the concepts, the foundation of a fighting game. That's how I beat him.
Today. We played. Scoreboard was 16-2. Why only 2? He started spamming a hhm kick combo with rid, that had a lot of range, and I admit I was getting a bit grabby in the matches. On top of that, I still don't fully understand Hitomi, but I understand the concepts. My problem was I had no high crush moves in my arsenal. Usually I stick with sweeps but Hitomi's 2H+K isn't a low sweep kick, it's a standing sweep. Eventually I picked up on sidestepping and 2P+King his string and I came back.
After I won twice, my girl of interest called me. She asked what I was doing and I said playing a game with my "bro", and he said some snark comment, you could tell by his tone. See, I was slightly already heated, because he spammed the combo. I want him to grow as a player you know? Not fall back when things get hard, and THAT is the actual reason, not the combo, but I know I couldn't force him to agree with me... and that's why I adapted instead of going to Eliot and wrecking his shit, cause God knows he can't touch my Eliot(I'm not pro at Eliot, he's just someone I'm more familiar with than Hitomi.
So he said the comment, and then I almost let it go, but something snapped in me, and I told the girl, "hold on", then turned to him and said, "what'd you say", and backed off and said "nothing", he always does this shit to me. So kept on it "what'd you say man, just say it", and he said "I don't need too", so I'm like "fuck it", and I proceeded to toss the controller and tell him to "grow up, it's a damn game". I went and walked out the house slamming the door behind me and I went back to talking to the girl. She asked what was up and I let her know. We talked about it and she told me to just go in and go to sleep, and let it pass.
I didn't want to fight him(we didn't fight, thank God), but I was afraid that with his anger issues, he might pull something, I just didn't know if it'd get physical. After talking to her and her cooling me off(<3), I went back. Step back 15 minutes before, he sent me a text after I walked out:
Him: "Tell me to grow up. I'll show you imature"
Me: "And how will that be?"
Him: "You'll see
"
Fast forward 16 minutes, as expected, he locked me out. I was glad that, that was all. But even still, "immature" right(least I know how to spell it), so I call my sis and ask her to unlock it,(she's younger), he says to her as she walks out of her room, no. Then the guy sends me another text: "Call me imature and so it shall be from the all knowing "enter my name here".", and so, I proceeded to plan B. I told the girl I'd call her back, called up our Mom and explained the situation. She called him and chewed him out for it then gave him and me both the same talk separately(over the phone cause she was out of town), and I apologized while he said and I quote, "I understand what you're saying but I don't agree". I assume he meant he didn't think he was wrong in doing it. Hmmm. Well what can I say other then it's whatever, ya know?
I agree with our Mom. Were 19. We should be having this shit happen. God I didn't even expect it to go this far! I can control my anger! I've lost it ONCE in my entire life, pure anger and hatred, TOWARDS my best friend, my true best friend. They say you gotta love someone to hate them, and I gotta say it makes sense in that scenario. Me and him patched things up the day after I lost it... that's what kind of friendship we had. Other than that I'm always in control, maybe depressed but I can handle my depression... I pulled myself away from suicidal after realizing the big picture on how I see life, another story for another time.
So the moral of the story is... I'm venting first of all... I'm... cooled off now... and cold from being out IN the cold for longer than I should have, but most of all...
Everyone please stay chill when you play games with your friends, you gotta understand that when people really want to improve, they will, and there's always gunna be someone out there that's better than you. It's a fact, unless you're the best, and you can claim that until you're blue in the face, but nothing is forever. If you're about winning, learn concepts of Fighting Games. Things like not whiffing an unsafe high move on someone who's ducking a lot, how to crush, what a safe move is, what low crushing can do for you... Learn your match ups, learn your movelist most of all, and learn how to enjoy what you do.
So... alright... that's all, comment if you like, maybe you can give me and some other people some good advice and input. I apologize if general discussion isn't a good section for this... but I needed to just drop this, I just wanna talk so once again, hmu here, or in a conversation.
