[@Aflay1]

Anyone who wants to explore the concept in this video further, watch Karate Kid. People remember, more than anything, the training regimens Miyagi used to teach Daniel, and how the monotonous chores magically trained Daniel in martial arts, but the takeaway people need to remember is that Miyagi was teaching Daniel to use brain-dead karate techniques. This is because Miyagi wished to train Daniel in a matter of weeks, to effectively combat blackbelts, ruthlessly trained warriors. The fighting game equivalent would be teaching Daniel to use sweep-kick Hydouken, blocking high and blocking low, and using Shoryuken when an opponent jumps. The crane-kick can be thought of as the one special complex move Daniel learned by happenstance.

@@NihongoWakannai your phone can handle tasks, in a minute, early computers would take hours to perform. In no way is the slower performance more accurate or superior. It's merely slower and incapable of processing at a faster rate. Some ppl have this silly notion that playing slower games is better by virtue of having more time to think. They think fighting games should be slower based on that faulty reasoning. Thinking faster is not lesser in any sense unless you produce bad results. The idea that slow allows for superior thought, in a fighting game, is nonsense. It's just a candy-coated way of explaining why some people can process at a higher rate and some people can't. Lesser players perform better when things are less competitive and challenging. Lol it isn't rocket science. This is just a narrative that makes slower ppl feel better about their limitations. 🤷‍♂️

Took me a while but I get it. If the ball costs ten cents and the bat costs a dollar. Then that makes the bat only cost 90 cents more. You'll need to rework the figures so you get a proper 1 dollar difference. 5 cents vs 1dollar and 5 cents makes for a difference of 1 dollar.

[@Arachnophobia137]

Bat is $1.05 because it costs 1 dollar more than the ball. Since the result is $1.10, Ball is 5 cents + bat is 1 dollar 5 cents = $1.10. The key words are ''more than'' here. I think I also saw a question in the past but it was worded differently.

[@hiroprotagonest]

[@weesticles650]

That’s why I love fighting games. Changing your tempo can make a character feel brand new. Sometimes I like to play fast paced and try and scare people by putting pressure on them and other times I love to play slower and try to be more reaction and read based. You can even combine the two by assigning them different parts like system 1 for advantage and system 2 for neutral or disadvantage.

Yes absolutely getting good is the key to happiness. You can see it everywhere, not just in gaming but in literally any activity. No one is more stressed out frustrated and miserable than people struggling with tasks.

[@happyjam1171]

Fantastic analysis. This open and honest look at the balance between mind games and physical skill required to maintain in a competitive setting is so relatable. Too often is player skill boiled down to go-to meta combos and tactics, but the mental fortitude and calmness required to win a tournament is a real thing.

[@equinox-XVI]

9:24 So I was at Level Up Expo (2020) and this basically summarizes my experience. My opponent was playing defensive, I got frustrated and wasnt thinking of ways to get around it and even though I was sure I was better, I lost the set anyways. Since then I've been trying to fix my frustration while dealing with defensive players, but I'm telling you, it's hard. I know that if I get mad I'll lose, but I dont want to wait 30 seconds just to hit my opponent either. The only way I can describe that feeling is like fighting not only your opponent but yourself as well. To anyone who wants to do anything competitively, I can only tell you to be patient. In the long run patience is going to win you a lot more games and I wish I had understood that sooner.

Never thought I’d see Manny Pacquiao speaking on this channel, but given how infamous Mayweather’s fighting style is, it completely makes sense 😅

[@herpderp8267]

Egg Salad Sandwich what’s his fighting style?

[@stayflyking]

@@herpderp8267 Mayweather is the best defensive fighter of all time. He fights unorthodox and he's a counter puncher. All he has to do is pivot and use a shoulder role to evade anything. It helps being super fast also.

[@z_mimichu]

XDie StayFly Yup! Not the biggest boxing fan out there, but from what I hear Mayweather tends to win by scoring more points from the judges because his shots are cleaner and his opponent would likely miss more punches It’s “smart” and his record reflects it, but obviously if you’re an casual fan looking for aggresion you’d be very turned off.

8:15 This is your brain on fighting games

[@gunkman_man]

trying to digest this... system 1 = reaction, flowchart & quick mechanics (low brain drain) system 2 = in-game adaptation, player/match-up based game plan (high brain drain) ??? wonder how much more of the system 2 stuff pros manage to convert into system 1 :thinking: (besides attack inputs of course)

[@gunkman_man]

imagine if your game sense is so sick that you can't get cheesed and it's easy to cheese your opponent. or if your adaptation is so good that it clicks super fast naturally. oh man what if EVERYTHING gets converted to system 1 and you can just flow and destroy while playing super hype. wait that's mang0 isn't it

[@Rhino1004]

@@gunkman_man I think it would be like taking a hit of crack, or for bipolar people, entering hypomania. I know that Mahvel and Skullgirls pros can belt out their ultra combos like it's nothing throughout a tournament, and on my really good days, I've been able to put a lot more things into system 1 than normal, including tight fastfalls and bait decisions.

[@t4d0W]

mostly the stuff very new players take for granted having to learn day one. To reiterate LordKnight's old SRK article 'Look at the Screen', *screen awareness* is something players don't integrate until after awhile. Otherwise they are consciously paying too much attention at that information and taking it in context. Along with mental reminders to themselves how to execute towards the win condition. One thing that is a high intensity System 2 activity that top players save their energy for is increased anticipation. In Tekken gameplay its been called 'compact' play, where not only do you have to play your opponent at a dangerously closer range. So attention to movement becomes more important but also trying to anticipate more moves to try block, actively punish or even catch a low parry. Because their opponent may not give enough mistakes to try punish and get ahead of the life lead. Players cannot keep playing at this intensity for long and it may drain them too hard for when they need to do this again very soon.

The ball and Bat issue was confusing me, I had to look down in the comments. And the answer is a schemantic issue. I read the sentence and misheard. I always thought it said "1 Dollar more" Rather than "1 Dollar more *than* ". System 32 failed me.

[@CarbonRollerCaco]

@@RetroPillowcase He meant he read it as "$1 more on top of the ball", not as "$1 more THAN the ball". An equivalent blunder would be reading it as "$1, more than the ball" as if you assume the question writer forgot a comma.

[@CarbonRollerCaco]

@@yoyoguy1st I think another problem is that many assume that zeroes that aren't in between any non-zeroes, AKA "non-significant digits", really don't matter and are hence illegal to manipulate. They think "Zeroes are just placeholders, so why should they ever be necessary to manipulate?".

Thank you so much for this video by all means am I know where near pro. I’m like casual bug that wants to bloom into the competition scene, but I’ve never realized the bad system thinking I had, which was attack as soon as possible and do special inputs, I had no idea how to approach understanding what the opponent was doing or even myself at times. I’m not expecting results anytime soon, but that’s okay. I’m gonna work at it, and watch this video again and again to find how I can implement what I learn from this into my gameplay or what fits for me.
