  • If you're getting mad whenever you lose in Super Smash Bros Ultimate, then I want you to know that it's OK. Here's a guide on how to frame your mindset and adjust your expectations so you can go back to having fun (and possibly even win!)

    As someone with ADHD, the progression from calm to anger is a lot quicker for me than most other people, so this seriously helps a lot

    I raised my hand. I have a very bad temper. Sometimes, when I lose, I usually just slam my fists down on a table. My mother hates it when I do that.

    I get really mad sometimes when it comes to this game, sometimes I keep calm when losing and being outplayed, and other days I just get so mad my brain clouds up and I don’t know what to do against my opponent. I can relate to this ALOT. Thanks for this video, take a break, get some rest and come back when you feel like it

    I’ve been trying not to get tilted when I lose, because I have a bad temper at times. Usually when I don’t get upset, I’m able to win again next time. I’ve been slowly climbing in gsp (I’m up to 7.2 mil) and my goal is to try an take a set at my school’s invitationals. We have a doubles tournament today so I’m excited to play and have fun!

    Thank you for this video.
    I just had an issue where I self injured my own thumb out of anger because I was getting frustrated playing (ruleset was 5 stock no timer final smash meter) as Sora vs a Pyra who spammed Blazing End and kept taunting. I still have the pain on my thumb as I write this, but even still, I worked on my mentality that night and was able to secure two wins against that ruleset (it might have been using faster characters like Jigglypuff or Bowser but hey).
    Mindset is huge when it comes to playing Smash. It makes you go from playing successfully to a simple task feeling impossible. And I’m glad I was able to work on my mentality.

    I was thinking many times about making more realistic goals and how top players have a long history of playing the games, so my 600+ hours in ultimate are nothing compared to their thousands of hours per smash game they played, but hearing someone else say it really makes it better. Great video

    thank you, this video helped me a lot. Im in the 1omill gsp range and im just stuck. I always get so angry when i lose and this video didnt stop me from getting angry, (because i still do get angry and nothing can change that) but it has stoped me from doing self harm and having to buy a new controller. One thing i have to say is that not judging people is more important then he makes it in the video.

  • @YouKnowWhassup
    @YouKnowWhassup 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    For those who are judging others for losing their temper are literally the most inconsiderate ones. People are not robots, they have emotions too. Give them advice they need. Calm them down. Don’t insult and belittle them. It turns into resentment towards the world and others around em. Even if you don’t know that person personally, give them some comfort. Be the reason why they wanna be here.

    • @adachifuni5986
      @adachifuni5986 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      As much as I agree with this statement, I think that the smash community will still think of everyone as being mentally stable as ltg, which is sad, but if people were to be more empathetic and aware because of this, then we should be fine.

    Me personally, i know im pretty good but ill never be the best and thats pretty cool becouse every match will be worth fighting and im allways improving.
    Plus not to brag but those around me know im a lil terror out there. I do decently in turnys, win alot and often show up in random smash compilations when i body sombodys haha.

    I like where you are going with this.
    Humans are a kind of animal, we may be capable of shocking behavior but we are also known to be noble, gentle and loving. Human culture is something else at work. Deep breaths between games, during games may help physically, but mentally there can be a sometimes greater need. Bullying, toxic behavior behind winning, Machoism, judgements and expectations especially on ourselves. There's more than I can name. Sometimes all you can do is be friendly, and expect the people you are with be friendly as well.
    I guess it needs to be said also. Just like its messed up for the fast food companies to put it on the consumer to take responsibility for recycling plastics it is equally messed up to expect a human to be calm with a game like smash brothers at a competitive level. You have to willfully ignore all of the pop-off video's and anime screaming, content creator stuff, obvious capitalism, and how all of those things hook into a persons social awareness.
    My advice has always been to be friendly and kind. This calm behavior is more suited for making connections and staying focused.

    I think it helps to recognize that no one actually cares about your smash rank except yourself, so it's not worth putting your self-worth into it. And also, recognize when it might be best to take a break. If the game is pissing you off atm, then just set the controller down and do something else for a few minutes.

  • @MeowModeFGC
    @MeowModeFGC 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

    If there's any feedback I have it's to not discourage people from having lofty goals like being the best in the world. You can have that lofty goal and do it in a healthy way. I'm on my state's PR and have won tournaments before, but I've had the goal to be the best in the world since I was an 0-2er. Discouraging people from trying to be the best isn't the way imo. Instead, recommend a healthy way to do it rather than starting with just outright saying to not make that your goal. Good video, just that one gripe with it.

    Ironically, Unironically, I started playing other characters after I got Link into Elite Smash, and guess what? My Ike is nearly in Elite and I’ve only played him for a week and had fun with him. Emphasis on the fun part. I was doing well when I had fun. I laughed when a stock was taken in a ridiculous way, I quit whenever a jerk tried to taunt me, and I played multiple versions of the same round. Expanding my area was fun and I wouldn’t have it any other way.😊

    This is needed because when i lose my cool and when i do try to compose myself i get ridiculed for for losing
    So as a coping mechanism i just listen to music that matches the character im playing (ex: if im playing mr game and watch then i listen to hey ya x flat zone) and I’ve been doing this since i started playing SSBU 4 years ago and is any character i play as in elite smash? No but im having fun playing it

    Still not in Elite Smash as I don’t get Switch online often, but I can still beat my Elite Smash friends. We’ll see what happens this spring at my first major. When it gets laggy, I get angry and channel it instead of tilting. I change from having fun to hyper analytical.

    This took me over 2 months. Take your main, and play 3 battles against each character, max level cpu. Analyze the fights, and see what you struggled with, and what you did well. Practice countering what you struggled with.
    That worked for me

    @tinfin7965 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I recently started to play again, I'm pretty bad and probably will never improve, playing melee for 4 years when it was released i can tell there is a pretty big difference between melee and ultimate. I don't play fighting games but i made a exception for smash simply because it was fun. My old tricks don't work as well, ultimate feels very slow compared to melee.
    I just wanted to re live my smash days with some friends. I've gotten pretty old so at this point there isn't a reason to rage quit or care anymore. I'll never play competitively and I'm fine with playing solo. I mainly bought a switch to play other games anyways.
