What's the better method of gitting gud:
a) Playing against players better than you all day and learning through buttrape
or
b) Playing against players around your skill level
>>333680887
probably playing against your skill level, but it depends on the game
shit like Street Fighter, would be better to play higher skilled opponent with same character
shit like cs:go, dont bother playin against higher level players cus youll spend most of your time dead and calling them cheaters
>>333680887
The correct answer is a) but they have to be only a little bit better than you. Getting steamrolled all day won't change a thing.

and with shit like dark souls, just get good fgt whats the problem

I think in all situations, players around your level trending on higher than your level.
You should always be fighting slightly above your weight class. Skill works the same way as muscle.
It requires increasingly graduated levels of resistance.

both but you learn quicker with someone your level since you are always trying to out play each other rather than getting stomped over and over again until you adapt to getting stomped less hard
Unless you're getting absolutely stomped, you should play against people better than you. If you're bad, you're definitely going to learn bad habits from people at your skill level.
If you can play against someone who is better than you and is willing to give some pointers, that's even better.
In any of the multiplayer games I cared about enough to git gud at, I played with people that were noticeably better than myself though not impossible to beat. You befriend those people and eventually you'll equal or exceed their skill level if you put in the work.
Does anyone play ReflexAUSthat knows how to duel but isn't also some superhuman mutant?
>>333683634
yes, there are also some superhuman mutants too.
>>333680887
playing against slightly weaker opponents so that you always feel like you're successful and progressing, builds confidence, skill through repetition, then get thrust up into the upper levels where you either sink or swim.

this.
in order to improve, there has to be performance-based feedback.
you won't improve if you play against someone significantly better than you, because you get punished no matter what you do.
same thing playing against people significantly worse than you, but in the opposite direction - you'll be rewarded for poor play, and eventually start picking up bad habits.
people don't realize that when someone somewhat better than you plays against you (say they win 60% of the time), they are doing you a huge favor.
>>333680887
Neither, it's first important to learn WHY better players are better, then observe, then practice. You can practice against anyone as long as you first know the WHY.

A bit of both.

Nah.
>>333680887
B., as long as you're being challenge, they can be a fair amount better than you, but getting stomped doesn't really help. It can also be good to sometimes play lower skilled players than you, as it'll give you some breathing room to try new things.
