I run into the same problem. Can't improve my reaction times, capacity to correctly react, and mechanical skills past a certain point; I inevitably hit a plateau, and then gradually decrease in skill.
>>342933391
>>342935371
I know this fucking feel too well. I start playing like shit if I play a game consistently. If I try to practice, I just get worse. And when I come back to the game from a couple months hiatus, I play amazing. It's happening right now with Overwatch, too.
What fucking gives?
>>342935901
Literally this.
Literally me playing sfv went from gold to super silver trying to copy tech
>>342933497
Easy to do in CS. You keep playing DM and start practicing things that teach you bad habits. Your aim improves slightly, but you get extreme carpal-tunnel and start playing everything like a deathmatch.
>>342933391
you're just fighting better players and/or realizing your mistakes when you make them
>extremely good with one hero/class/character/loadout

>>342935975
Based on my experience. This happens because something along the way you react or learn something which isn't appropriate for a certain event while not noticing the mistake. This eventually becomes a habit and destroys your game.
>>342936330
Iunno man, when I used to play CSGO I used to exclusively play Inferno with UMP and regularly stomp. Constantly 16k in cash and so on.
After a while of consistent play I noticed myself getting worse and worse, and it wasn't the tactics I was using or the people I was playing against, it was just my aim degrading.
>>342935901
This happens to me in everything. And I suddenly begin losing interest. I've gotten from naked runs in mh to triple carting in less than a day sometimes. :(
>>342933391
There's talent and skill, senpai.
You can improve your skill via practice and techniques but you'll never reach the same level as those who have natural born talent.
And when those with talent, practice and develop their own techniques then you're just fucked.

It means that the person playing doesn't actually have very much skill or foundations in the first place. If you build a foundation of skill surrounding the basics and a general playstyle plan and follow through with it, you don't get worse, only less efficient with lack of practice.
>return to any Souls game after months hiatus

Is there a worse feeling?

I suppose i'll just stick to jarpegs

Does anyone else just turn off their brain when in combat? My heart starts pounding faster and it's like I cannot think anything more complex than basic thoughts when I'm trying to kill someone. All strategy goes out the way.
>>342939534
Be a pocket medic and actually contribute to your team.
You're the unsung hero but still.
You're doing your part.
>>342939814
that's what I did
Gave up and mained Medic and airblasting, spy-checking Pyro
At least Pyros dont have to aim
Had this problem with mountain blade.
>>342939774
Define combat?
In reality I go "deaf"
In a fighting game I actively try to outperform my opponent.
>play quake for the first time at 22 years old

Why does this even happen?
>>342938969
how are you naturally born to play videogames?
>>342939774
SAVAGE
>>342939774
It's one of the main things that prevents me from attending tourneys in confidence. I get shakes real bad and even tense or lock up. That coupled with crippling social anxiety really fucks me up.
My Brain tumor being removed has ruined any chance of me learning new things in video games.
>>342938969
Talent is a myth. Some people are better than others at shit because they did whatever thing they did at an early age. You do not magically get good at something. Stop watching anime.
>try to play as badly as possible
>can't stop winning
>>342940913
Overwatch is a bad game.
After 3 years of playing I finally got out of bronze.And now I wish I was back in it
>>342940850
>Everyone can be smart and talented if they put their mind and effort into it and believe enough.
Why dont you stop watching anime
>>342933497
You overload your brain with too much information. So it's best to sometimes take a break. This happens to me a lot with rhythm games.
>bought rocket league 2 days ago on summer sale
>played for about 8 hours

I was actually talking about Dota 2. My little experiment made me sure forced 50% exists.
>>342935975
>overwatch
anon pls
>>342941268
Just put your brain to good use, unless you are missing some brain cell or your hands act all retarded you can get better at videogames, now other stuff like sports and shit that requires more effort but its still doable
I've played 150 hrs of CS:GO and I'm honestly not that much better than when I started. My KD is 0.77 I just can't seem to git gud.
Feels bad man
>>342941468
>Just put your brain to good use
You seriously just reworded my greentext, except somehow made it even more vauge.
>>342941470
try playing something isnt faggoty twitch shooter.
Something like Red Orchestra that actually takes sense to win.
I forget about RO1 because that was ages ago, but in RO2 I have a k/d of 7.44
>>342941268
It's pushing buttons you dumbfuck, anyone can push buttons and learn how to push buttons good.
If we're talking sports then yes you are limited by something like your body and bone structure, but otherwise you can learn shit.
>>342941268
Why not try stop playing video games for 10 hours a day and spending another 5 on /v/.
That would probably help.
>tfw below average mmr
>>342941626
Cant learn reflexes, mouse control, multitasking, ect.
I mean sure you can practice them, but is that really something that doesnt have a different upper limit for everyone?
>>342941470
>he feels bad about not getting better at cs:go, implying that he wants to
>>342941576
>JUST PLAY ANOTHER GAME XDDDD
fuck assholes like you
>>342941554
Because that is all there is to it, if its about videogames you can become better at them by thinking and remembering the right things and doing them again and again while also adding new skills as time passes
>>342941860
>trying to rustle le jimmies
wew
>play fighting game when you're exhausted
>consistently land links that you normally have trouble with
Only happens with fighting games and rhythm games, but there's a certain point of exhaustion where your motor skills reach an apex.
>>342942018
I figure you're so tired you can really only focus on that one thing. So you just fucking zone in.
>>342941801
Yes, you can train your body to do those things, they just will not happen overnight. Don't say stupid things just because you never made the effort to do anything. You could do it right now and instead you post on some obnoxious imageboard all day.

>>342942086
I've seen people try.
I've seen plenty whos brains just cant fucking get it as well.
I'm not saying you shouldnt try, but I am saying there is a level of "talent" involved
>>342933497
You ingrain bad habits that can only be removed out by analyzing your habits. Self analysis is hard for a lot of people so they start to either plateau or get worse. This is where most people in any competitive game get stuck and fail to realize they're the problem. They either take to blaming a character, a stage, a map, a weapon or anything to take away from themselves as the cause.
The most common way to solve this is to watch similar matches to the one you're playing, or watch recordings of yourself and watch for the same situations and watch it over and over and learn why this mistake is happening.
In FPS it might be a movement pattern you keep doing, or a route you take. In fighters it might be certain options you take in your approach, projectile use, or jumping like a scrub in bad spots where they're ready or even baiting it out.
/v/ is bad at competitive though so thats where all the "BAW BAWWW TOURNEYFAG" shit comes from.
>>>342942253
What game, difficulty?

what is it senpai
i stopped abandoning and playing like a twelve year old last week to get back to 4k and i'm already back at 3.4 from 3
it's not hard to climb if you focus on your game.
>>342935108
That's me
>>342942842
First 1CC?
>>342935565
This, it's also why I don't play fighting game anymore, by the time I get good enough to compete I just don't want to play the game anymore and get a new game.
>>342942983
No, but it was my first Reimu 1cc for that game.

I critique myself frequently and try to train myself against my constant mistakes in high-pressure situations, but I can't get myself to consistently react properly, I can't get my hands to do what I want them to do. I think, "I need to this to survive," or "I need to do this to kill him," but I can't get my body to always do what my brain commands. I feel like I'm struggling with faulty machinery, and the faulty machinery is me.
>>342933391
I can't get into fighting games because of this.
No matter how many hours I practiced I couldn't hit the buttons only a few times. I always mashed until the animation played about and tried to combo like that, it was a train wreck and I still can't play them.
