This is a masterclass in the impact of nerves on performance! It's so difficult to simulate nerves that some people say a match with stakes is worth 10x the XP of a practice match.

Practice is crucial for experimentation to raise your peak level. Real matches are essential to learn how to reach that peak when it counts!

I know others pointed it out already, but I appreciate how genuine you always are, especially here. It's nice to see someone being honest about their performance anxiety and I hope you know we're not solely watching you because of your skill, we like you as a person. It might be silly, but seeing you let go of that pressure and just enjoy yourself really connected with me. I'm also trying to have fun without overthinking people's expectations or perception of me, which I struggle with. Maybe I'm looking too deep into it, but I feel like this can apply to so many other aspects of your life outside of gaming. On another note, I got the guts to show up to an irl event and got second place in my first MK tournament yesterday! Thanks for your positivity, keep it up! :)

[@captainzork6109]

Peak sports psychology application right there! - Shortcat is doing bad, doubting himself at every move. - Becomes aware of this fact. - Realizes his mindset is bad and needs to change it - Introspects to analyze and find out the likely beliefs which lead to the pressure he feels, and thereby is able to let go of those beliefs, loosening the hold the pressure has over him - He is now open to a more positive way of thinking. He uses the opportunity his teammate gives him, as well as (truth-based) self-affirming thoughts "I *know* I am better than this. I can do really well in this room." - He becomes an anime protagonist and gets 1st place That whole 15 minute journey... super good, man! :D I hope many others can learn from this display of resilience
