How do you calm down and wash away all the salt after a long losing streak?
fap
Go on /v/ and shitpost about how the game sucks.
>>329143238
Go outside and when you come back do something else.
Pop in a Dynasty Warriors
>>329143238
talk about how the game's controls are ass, the matchmaking is broken, etc and etc.
it's what bloodborne and dark souls players who need to get gud use as an excuse, so maybe you can apply it to SFV
>>329143238
watch youtube videos and try to forget about it.
Play something else, then go back and do better.
>>329143436
This. A thousand times this.
Nothing washes away salt like fucking up 2000 chinks with a super chink.
jesus christ, this thread's actually being helpful
out of curiousity, who do you main OP
>>329143507
>controls are ass
Care to explain? It's literally the same as any standard fighting game.
Go into training mode, look up instructional videos, grind out shit for hours until I learn why I fucking suck.
>>329143238
I don't get mad I have losing streak
I get mad where some jerk off disconnects where I was about to win
Capcom better fix this shit quickly in SF5
>>329143959
not saying that it has ass controls, just saying that when people are salty that's what they'll say in catharsis. i've never played SFV, so i've no idea
>>329143959
You are fucking retarded.
>>329143238
git gud
>>329143238
If your game has replays
Watch your replays and find out what you're doing wrong. Then go into training mode and try to get better at fixing away your mistake. It's probably some habitual issue you have, best way to take care of it is to practice and get rid of that bad muscle memory.

First Fighting game so I followed the advice to play Ryu until you learn the fundamentals. It was going pretty well, got up to Ultra Bronze. But today I've just been playing like ass, not punishing properly, fucking up dp anti-airs and falling for dp wake ups.
I think I just need to have a meal and chill out.
>>329143238
Watch your replays and pinpoint where you and your opponent made mistakes.
Repeat certain situations you have problems with in training mode, using the record/playback feature on the dummy.
Watch instructional videos for your character, and advanced tutorials for the game in general.
If I'm especially salty, I play soothing music while I do this to calm down as I improve.
stare at anime tiddies
>>329143238
Play I Wanna Be The Boshy, Winnie the Pooh Homerun Derby and Punishment 2.
Rek nubz tomorrow.
>>329144246
yeah man, you do that.
if you've got fundamentals down you could try someone a bit different, like cammy or ken, they're both pretty decent
just take an hour or so to chill so you don't shit yourself or something when you go back to it
>>329143238
Not lose.
>>329143959
the fighting game community, everyone.
>>329143507
I never played PvP in those games for the same of playing PvP, but how netcode and hitboxes were handled in those games was rather silly. I mean, they are the ones investing time into such things (and taking it seriously at that), but still.
>>329144246
This. Go chill out, and often you start on a losing streak because you lose your flow and start either hesitating or mindlessly being aggressive. Just slow down.
>>329143238
Keep smiling like the colgateman is
Smiling will refrain you from getting mad

Can someone explain this meme?

>>329143507
currently have a losing streak in r6siege
previously was barely able to play because my ping spiked to 1000+ every few minutes
I lost connection to the last great, actually communicating team I had on the 3rd round of our 2nd match
It's like the community got smarter overnight, all my stealth plays are fucking up lately
>>329143238
Play a different game.
>>329144980
missing a line:
now everyone on my teams just seem salty and angry when people make the littlest mistakes
>>329143507
DarkSydePhil Detected.
>>329143238
Play a party game like smash or mario kart.
>>329143238
>long losing streak
Nigga all I do is win.
Take a break, or take stimulants. Either works.
>>329143238
Take a break.
>>329143238
I lost 30 matches in a row trying Birdie.
I went back to Bison and started actually winning again. I don't know why I can put up an offense and get people with Bison, but with Birdie I get my shit pushed in by rushdown.
>>329143238
win.
Like seriously, SF got that thing where it doesn't matter how much you lose, when you finally get that one win you're pretty happy.
If you really are to the point where you want to destroy something, just play something like easy mode L4D2 to calm down.
>>329143238
>BAD IDEAS I HAVE DONE
Scream loudly, throw shit, pound on desk, pour water all over myself, hold the anger inside me and do nothing about it
>GOOD IDEAS I HAVE DONE
Do some pull-ups, drink the entire glass of water in front of me, talk about how bullshit the game is, turn the game off and do something else
>>329143238
Always leave. Most of the time, the reason I'm on a hard losing streak is because I'm fatigued. The fact that I'm slowly getting frustrated doesn't help, but as soon as I walk away, it's sunshine again.
>>329143238
I'm not black, so I have more to my life than the concept of winning a game, it's not that important
>>329143238
If I'm in ranked, go down to unranked and see how I do, or ask to play with a friend for a while to get the anxiety down
Keep playing until I start winning. Never go out on a loss.
Is there anyway to get hobo Ryu anymore? Shit's handsome as fuck.
>>329150952
Weak, but good try.
>>329150357
>hold the anger inside me and do nothing about it
This only makes it worse
>giving a fuck about losing at fighting games
>playing fighting games
>playing games
>posting on 4chan
>>329151575
I'm not a Yugioh character, so I have more to my life than winning a game.
>>329151410
hopefully it'll be on the store for FM when the march update comes in 3 months
>>329151410
Ask a game stop employee nicely. Maybe they could hook you up with a code.
You guys are mad because you have a decent understanding of the game but you cannot keep your composure during a match at all and end up doing dumb shit, which makes you more mad.
>>329152841
>Wait for someone to do some unsafe shit on block
>Go for the punish
>Take a counter hit because somehow they got a move out after they fucked up before I got my fastest move off
Fuck Karin.
