I DON'T SEE HOW THAT'S GONNA MAKE YOU GIT GUD. YOU JUST HAVE TO GET BETTER IN ORDER TO GIT GUD
no but seriously that was supposed to be inspiring
This thread is the perfect place for scrubs to gather and make up excuses for being shit at video games. There's literally nothing constructive that could be added to the discussion other than GIT GUD. Here, have another wisdom pill: GIT GUD Bruce Lee version.I can see the point you were trying to make, but you pretty much presented it in the dickish way you could. If that's your idea of "inspiring" people, I'd hate to see how you rag on someone...
There's a difference between snarling "GIT GUD SKRUBS", and actually helping someone improve at the game.

It would be if we didn't all know he's normally like that anyway lol.It's satire, people. Get over it.
I'm no tournament player nor an elitist.Its funny because wazaa is demonstrating exactly what kind of person drives people AWAY from the fgc lol
You mean he's normally satirical and hyperbolic?It would be if we didn't all know he's normally like that anyway lol.
Sounds like you're biased and not really treating what he actually said reasonably as a result.From anyone else it would be satire. From wazaa? Par for the course.
And in your mind what would the alternative look like?But anyways the point remains. Its attitudes like wazaa is displaying that drive a lot of people from respecting, let alone wanting to contribute to, the fgc
It goes deeper than that. The idea that individual success is "needed" in the FGC is rooted in confirmation bias and/or the lack of actual appreciation for what they give back to the community, whether it's setting up a tourney scene, streaming for charity, tutorial videos, etc. If one feels mistreated or ignored long enough, they will be led to believe winning is the only way their efforts will actually be in anyone's radar, or they will give up altogether. Not everyone is fortunate enough to get sponsored, much less have a stable offline crew to reach such accolades.I feel that I do believe a huge hindrance in the Western FGC (as opposed to the Eastern/Japanese FGC) is the lack of a "community mentality" and too much emphasis on individual success. I respect people that contribute to the advancement of the FGC more than those that simply "win". It's why I contribute stuff to the community as opposed to just toting tourney wins.
THIS is the most important mindset to have(casual/hardcore designations are meaningless). Right here. Don't let some conceited asshole talk down to you because of it. Deconstruct your flaws and work around them. Some people will help you with this but dont take it personal of some people dont.What keeps me in place, is that I am who i am, and i may have a slower rhytm, or not that same set of skills, but i'll reach what i want if i keep pushing it.

When you join any competitive game (or sport) you'll have to accept the fact that some people may have played that shit before you were even BORN and that you're going to eventually GIT REKT LIEK A SKRUB. You win and you lose as predictable. If you want to win more you need to GIT GUD, if you don't want to that's perfectly fine too, as simple as that.
Are you really gonna talk out your ass AGAIN, wah? First you tried to say I only run and gun in overwatch (despite my whole play style being the polar opposite and preferring heavy hitters and I generally dislike run and gun games, hence me still not actually buying overwatch yet), now you are trying to say I go into threads just to insult people like wazaa? Owner of the site or no, that's bullshit and you know it. I know you don't like me and I have very strong opinions but I don't go in to threads just to insult and troll people like Wazaaa does. I normally just ignore him but it's specifically relevant here.So.... you?
Two separate incidents. Unless you're using two incidents to confirm a pattern...Are you really gonna talk out your ass AGAIN, wah?

Owner of the site or no, that's bullshit and you know it.
You mean it's bad to be biased against someone you don't like and make disproportional accusations? Kinda like you did with Wah and WAZAAAAA?I know you don't like me and I have very strong opinions but I don't go in to threads just to insult and troll people like Wazaaa does. I normally just ignore him but it's specifically relevant here.
Actually, it is you who is being pointlessly dickish, which is kind of the point. Saying "git gud" in a gaming community is not dickish, and the point of his contribution was not solely to be dickish. He actually had a point, which again was presented under the guise of a joke. His point was that pandering to individuals isn't the responsibility of a FGC, and that having a victim mentality won't get you very far at all. Practically speaking, there is little incentive to host such an atmosphere when severely disadvantaged people still push through with determination instead of wallowing in self-pity and making excuses.Though this situation is oddly on topic. We had someone come in and be a dick for no particular reason, then others come in to defend him being pointlessly dickish. Id say that kind of thing is a huge flawed mindset within the fgc XD.
Okay, but you say this like it's the community's responsibility to coddle every individual member to make them feel safe and loved. It isn't. The FGC isn't a support group. It's a competitive group, which is kind of the opposite.Anyways back on topic. The competitive mindset can be overwhelming for people trying to get into the scene. Need to help people get better THEN encourage them to go pro, so to speak. Not just throw em in the deep end and say "gitgud".
Like I try to encourage people not to focus so much on combos when they haven't figured out the basic a and mind games yet. I have a friend who, all he does is rush in to try to juggle then cries when I keep punishing him. I try to tell him you can't just rush for combos but he argues that's what the pros do (not quite true but its how the wannabes interpret it). Not just in DOA but in other fighters too. P4A, mk, kof, etc etc.
