Smash Bros and the Mentality of the game.

  3. Smash Bros and the Mentality of the game.
So I thought i might make a thread about the mentality of Smash, and things that can make you tick, since a lot of the game can be broken up into a mental game with a the successor of the situation being able to tack on some damage, or even in more extreme cases where the ball is dropped completely, or a calculation is missed, it can ultimately result in a loss of a stock.

Match Ups only make up half of the equation when it comes to a match, then it's player skill, character knowledge, and game mechanic knowledge.

So I guess the point of this thread is to ask what things set you off/ make you tick during a game or possibly rage quit, and im not talking about something like Diddy's D-Throw-> U-Air; I'm talking about small things that are either uncommon, weird priorities, or are a "I don't even know what happened there" moment, just because the other player either out read you, or simply was better than you.

Moments can be from any game from the smash series.

Or tilting his head.

edit- Sometimes I do a sort of head tilt thing, like I'm trying to edge my way in through some imaginative thingy to victory.

@Arby- you should scrub up to Jezmo's Diddy Kong level XD just kidding

I can confirm that I was talking about mental tilting. Sorry for lack of clarification.

This is what I recommend for all you guys. The way I try to avoid getting greedy or falling into the trap of mind games (even though I do sometimes), listen to music.
This may sound weird but I listen to music basically because, I'm usually fighting a tougher guy so boss battle music is fun. I would recommend getting a song that is about 1 min 30 so you know you have to get that persons stock down by that time. It's helped me on many occasions.
