I'll just add that even if you're not there yet with your style, pulling it off is what makes you most hype. I'll learn a combo and memorize tech as best I can, but pulling those off in a match doesn't move the needle for me. Getting a hard read on my opponent three times in a row in three different ways does, even if I can't capitalize on it for beans. That feeling that you can see the future is just the best.

Love the video! Quick correction: the conditioning usually used in fighting games is operant conditioning, not classic conditioning. Classical conditioning can influence emotional response, but cannot affect actions outside of involuntary stuff like sweating or drooling. It's about expectations and gut reactions. Operant conditioning causes people to change their behavior based on reward and punishment. It's the same psychology that gatcha games use to make people think they'll get that cute waifu jpg if they spend five more dollars. And five more dollars. And five more dollars.

For me, I think DBFZ has the biggest examples of heart players. When I'm able to get into the zone and I start doing things the player doesn't expect it leads to really fun scenarios. A good example Ive got is during an intense round I was down to my last character Jiren. And I made it a habit during the match to run up and do his command grab to try and force a response on the opponent during a hard knockdown. It came to a point where he started doing things to punish me for it. So after a few exchanges, I got another hard knockdown. Instead of running up and grabbing, I stayed back and did his rapid punch/236C attack, and the opponent woke up superd to try and do a reversal. But the ranged attack hit him out of it. And I won the game because of it. I wasn't actively trying to get him to do this, but in the moment I decided, hey what if.

Also, since it's bday, it is only expected to have some flattery, so here it comes: Out of all the analysis channels I know (I watch a ton of them) you seem to be the second best at energy, second only to Core-A (note that Core-A uploads more rarely so has more time to perfect the pacing), you, Stumbleblee and Core-A are the big three of hype videos, they're fast, analytical and sometimes comedic, whereas others suffer from bored voices, bad pacing, worse video idea picks (speaking of that, you are out of the box with some videos, like the luck one), boring editing, etc. Keep up the good work!

I feel like the best heart based playstyle should be like a mix between brains and body, and then some more. Having enough knowledge to know your tools and your opponent's, having enough reflexes to attack and react, but then throwing creativity into the mix, and taking into consideration your opponent's and your own mental state, and being able to tell when they're getting impatient, or more defensive, or too cocky, and being able to go along with the match. Kinda like the concept of flow state and Wu Wei

I am that Leo player that dashes full screen and throws you. Twice. Yes, canceling Brynhildr stance to do so. Heart players know exactly why they do what they do, that's the one misconception here. Because we know you're going to get hit by it. Not because we planned it, but because right now, at this moment, we know what you're thinking and how to get in your head. We can tell by the buttons your pushing, how and when you're pushing them, as well as how you're moving, or that one time in the match where you whiffed a throw, and precisely when you did it, and in what situation. The thing everyone gets wrong is that the subconscious can be conditioned and trained to make rational decisions. The trick here is letting the quiet part of your brain do the more strategic thinking, so the rest can focus on taking in and processing what's happening in the moment to moment.
@Bootmeal2 жыл бұрын
For real. Fairly often, some weird interaction will occur. I do something in response, and destroy my opponent in the moment. Afterward, I have to ask for a recap, because I didn't conciously process what was going on, I just reacted to it. Or times when I know exactly what my opponent will do and just wait to punish them. Not because I sat and analyzed their character and behavior, my brain just picked it up as we played, no conscious thought required. If we wanna go further with philosophy, I think this is actually a principle in zen, where you train your mind to react without thought, but intelligently so. Mind like a mirror, or something like that, reflecting what's in front of it.

always loved being a heart player, playing footsies, making reads, having fun, styling on and frustrating your opponents, it just feels so good, and in my opinion it's way more interesting to understand how the game and the players work and play around that rather than remembering everything and calculating in advance. it's those moments, when you get a bad situation and find a way to overcome it that give you a great amount of pleasure and satisfaction and by not knowing everything this happens a lot more often (of course I still learn stuff and spend time in training mode, but only the stuff that I really need). that's why I like samsho, because it's all about footsies and mind games, and 3d fighters, because the amount of freedom that you get to (quite literally) play around your opponent and the impact of doing so are so much bigger than in 2d fighting games and especially anime fighters(even though you still need to learn and remember a lot especially in tekken).

I must be a heart and mind player. I run in with Axl on occasion ^^ but I also like to learn all the move properties and use them to their fullest. When I am full screen as Axl, the opponent typically jumps expecting me to do the command grab but I almost never do that move in expected situations like that so they usually jump into my 6K after running into mid range for some meter.

I will say that my playstyle makes not getting tilted a little bit harder outside of friendlies. it's a little personal when your mistakes get in the way of your expression, or when even after you've put everything you have, everything you are on the table, you still can't do anything.
