My favorite salt moment was my college roommate playing Madden. The CPU had some BS comeback and he threw his controller at the couch. This was back in the day with wired PS controllers though, and the controller wire went taut. The controller arc'ed the air and flew out the window of our apartment. The controller wire popped out, sending the controller 13 stories to the parking lot below, but not before the wire pulled the PS off the console. The PS crashed to the floor, breaking his PS, also. That was a lesson for Scott.

[@AdamSmasherReal]

If that fell on someone's head they were a dead man

[@JCintheBCC]

@@AdamSmasherReal This part is nerdy, so I don't usually mention it, but you brought it up. I was a physics major, so I actually tested that (sort of). Because of the long flapping wire and plug on the end, a controller hits terminal velocity in about 3 stories. Dropping it from higher than that doesn't change it's speed. So really, it's like getting a PlayStation controller dropped on you from about 30 feet up. It would hurt, but it's actually not too bad. Hitting asphalt, though? Yeah, the controller still broke.

The quality of these discussions are very high for them just being clips from your stream. I play smash ultimate competitively but youre one of my favorite FGC content creators because of the depth of thought in these videos, keep up the good work!

[@noodletribunal9793]

oh wow, what a coincidence. i was going to share my salt story and it has to do with ultimate T.T see i started with melee, i was always a melee player, but i didn't live near a community and there wasn't online for it/i didn't want to play laggy melee, so i just stuck to smash 4 and and ultimate for 5 years. I quit smash 4 after losing to a 6 month old zss and throwing my laptop to the ground, breaking it. that was basically the end of smash online for me until ultimate came out and i said "well let's try again." but that didn't work out for me either. i don't remember all my rage moments aside from the last one where i threw my controller to the floor. it made me feel so bad, i didn't like that at all. from that point on, my salt turned into self loathing(and a more controlled hatred for the game) cause at least i wouldn't break shit anymore, and then finally, i quit ultimate and just practiced melee for no reason lol. but now that slippi is a thing, i can finally play my melee again after 5 years and i don't hate the game like i did 4 and ult. i still get incredibly frustrated with myself, but at least it's one thing and not 3. i'm still learning to channel my frustrations better, but i think i really learned that if you don't like a game, just don't play it. i'd rather be happy playing my melee and street fighter than be miserable by default with ultimate or whatever other traditional fighter isn't my cup of tea. dealing with salt is bad enough when you're the only source of it.

It's strange, I get super salty when fighting against bots but I'm actually really chill when fighting real humans. Obviously the problem is that I haven't fought enough real humans to get sick of their shit yet.

[@kevingriffith6011]

More seriously though, it really is a matter of *why* I play makes me salty. I play bots because there's a reward at the end of it and I want that reward, so losing makes me feel cheated out of a reward that I know I should have. When I play against people, I do it to play against people and get better. Win or lose, I still get what I wanted out of it. Playing for ranks or ladder points or for the tournament win you don't really get that, so losing is a bigger deal... especially when you've invested so much time into getting better only to still get destroyed.

[@gameclips5734]

@@gameclips5734 I don't really pay attention to the points I lose or gain. I figure if I deserve a rank all I have to do is keep playing and I'll get it. Losing ladder points didn't make me worse at the game, neither does losing a rank. As they say in starcraft, More GG more skill. Keep playing, don't sweat the losses. Wound up rematched with someone who smoked me earlier, one of those "no runback" types, and I manged to struggle a win out against him. I wasn't even mad when he unplugged his router and denied me the ladder points, that was funny to me more than it was frustrating. The only thing I lost for that was having a replay to dissect later, but I've got plenty of those.

[@PurpleFreezerPage]

I'm currently student teaching, and I can say as a teacher - sarcasm/humor is such an absurdly universal tool for dealing with tense situations. It's your bread-and-butter as someone standing in front of a group. You take resistance lightly, you make a joke about it, you minimize your portrayed ego. Most importantly, you won't burn out if you take things lightly. By all means, get serious when you escape the emotional vortex - but use humor and sarcasm to turn a negative situation into a positive one.

[@SimonGilliard]

You spiking your stick out of salt is really relatable and it's really cool that you make a video talking about this subject. I've split open my hand smashing my stick before and i've broken a lot of butons and a pad but i think the time that really got me thinking about my salt was when i bent the metal plate of my te2 that my mom got me for my birthday, it got me feeling really awful. Thankfully it's just the plate i'll fix the stick at some point but now i really try to stop playing when i feel that my frustration levels go up

But recently I feel like I'm able to control it, mainly because I found out a couple of tips, one of them being like you said, remembering that there's another person on the other side of the screen. Another big one that was really hard for to do is give my opponent credit when they do something that works, even if it is really fucking stupid to do. Because it's not stupid to wakeup super for instance if you get hit by it lol. Thanks so much man, and I hope I get good enough that I can play against you

[@Cezkarma]

Hearing this from a competitor is so great. I always assumed that salt is something I had to get rid of completely to get to a high level. But from this I can tell that it's not about not getting salty, it's about managing your salt in a healthy manner.

[@protodevilin]

The last time I played SFIV, it was 2012, and I ejected the disc and snapped it in half. The loss I was salty about was due to lag (no, really), but I should have known that my opponent was experiencing the same lag, and was just better than me regardless of the situation. Years later, I'm not bugged by it so much. I think I've finally settled into a place where I truly regard both the wins and losses as learning experiences to absorb, rather than judgments about my skill level or personal character.

I already saw myself in James Chen shoes in a lot of situations (also spike some pads too, not happy about it), and actually droped SFV for a while a couple of times and return some months latter. I have beeing trying to work this and instead of beeing frustrated and angry with my mistakes, analyse the games and watch again some replays of matches that I lost (later I was only used to watch matches that I have won), to understand why I was beeing beat. My point is, working on this made me able to control it, and also make my game skills actually improve learning from my mistakes, so yesterday I managed to reach Gold rank, It might not sound much for some people, but I was for such a long time stuck in the 2500 - 3000 points range, that it was unlikelly think about transpass the 4000 points barrier a while ago.

[@LordAkadi]

I think this video touched on something I'd been feeling in my own streaming. I am/was (I don't know anymore) like James Chen but more often silent about it. I feel empathy for that kind of salt and that kind of stream too. I'm glad you touched on this topic today.

Great video, i've always wondered how players like smug can stay so calm and not get salty when they are losing. From the videos i've seen of your streams I thought you were really chilled too, I never would have guessed you'd smashed so many pads haha. I tend to get salty when I make the right read but mess up the execution or if my opponent gets punished for doing something random but then just does it again when I don't expect them to.

[@-mazio-9440]

Hey Brian, your story of how you curb stomped your first stick sort of resonated with me. Well, more so got me thinking. I’m pretty young and relatively new to the fgc (at least on a level above pure casual), but I feel like my parents don’t enjoy me playing fighting games, granted I used to get very, very salty but I’ve definitely gotten better. Yet, whenever I jump on street fighter, even between matches and I’m just chilling, my parents still get really annoyed. A specific time that sticks in my memory is when they saw me playing SFV and asked me “why do you enjoy going online and beating people up?” In an angry/sarcastic tone. My parents didn’t grow up playing games of any kind, so I can semi-understand where it comes from, but I still feel like whenever I try to tell them anything regarding it they shut it down, I’ve had to find my own way to locals since I’m too young to have a license. Do you have any tips or advice of what I can do? Because I’m stumped. P.s they’re great parents btw, and they support me fully on everything else, it’s just this one hobby that they completely shut down.

[@jml235]

This has been the most enlightening conversation on salt i've ever seen, thank you for thinking about it deeply. It caused me to go on a deep dive of your videos (though I think it got started with "Daigo teaches me footsies video" FYI), and I was impressed with your resolve after the poison defeat. Wanted to add-in a single observation on that match that maybe you already recognize, but in case you missed it, maybe it will help you. I'll start off by taking you at your word that the critical error was spending meter early in that deciding match, you understand mechanics of street fighter much deeper than I do. But it seemed you already knew to conserve meter before that match started, so from my perspective, the real question is, why did you decide to spend meter early in that final round (Game 5, Round 3)? And my best guess comes from Game 5 Round 1 where you started strong, had him in the corner with a life lead and meter, and then ate a single crush counter, throw, throw, chip damage, etc that lead to you being pushed all the way across the screen, and importantly, you lost that round with full V-Trigger. Fast-forward to G5R3, and I think you'll notice a similar start compared to G5R1, but this time, you went for the early V-trigger. Anyway, my guess is that you have already reflected on that, but in case you haven't, make sure you analyze G5R1 as deeply as you did G5R3, because I think that's where the subconscious/automatic/in-game decision came from. I don't understand SF well enough to say what the hell happened in G5R1, I'll leave that to you, good sir. Anyways, i'm bothering with this massive text because I see you winning it all at some point in the not-too-distant future. Good luck

That James Chen clip and your analysis of it is exactly how I get too. I get so frustrated with my own inability to execute what I see in my head. I'm an okay street fighter player.

They beat me straight up and I accept that. It's me that I'm frustrated with. I've seen that string they beat me with a hundred times and I still get caught by it and it makes me mad at myself.

[@BlameShane]

This is a great video I feel not only for the fgc but for video games in general. Toxicity is just everywhere in gaming and the message that there is always another human being on the other side is just a great concept to have in your head at all times. That there is someone else just trying to do the same as you. And I feel its even worse in team games when people are putting down teammates for not being good enough or losing to the other team all the time. They're just trying to learn and get better the same as you. I recently started playing rogue company since it was free and well since I play a decent amount of fps games I was pretty good. I was the only one with downs and elims on my team and so I got on the mic and started just ripping into them about how they're bad and terrible and should stop playing. And then I hear a mic click on and its a kid around maybe 9 or 10, he tells me, "I'm sorry, I'm just playing for my dad since he was gone and asked me to. I'm sorry I'm so bad, I'll try to be better." And I felt so bad man it pretty much brought me to tears, because I do what that man does with his son, with my brothers that are younger as well. It just made me think about them and how it'd make them feel if I told them what I told that kid. Thanks Brian, you made this video around the time this happened, I just didn't see it until now.

My salt is almost always directed at myself, which is like a weird sort of unhealthy. I recently adopted the "Do push-ups if I lose" approach, though, and it really helps. It just makes it much more fun, and it feels like I'm doing something to improve myself whether I win or lose.

Analyzing different cases of salt? What a great video idea!

[@_maza_2443]

So I just played Persona 4 for the first time and hearing that music at the end of the video made me think I was actually going insane.

if u lose a match with good connection, its ur fault, no excuses, i struggled to learn that

[@real100thfloor]

i love aris. commentary powerhouse right there. that clip has me cracking up and i haven't played tekken in a decade.

[@lightshiner3742]

Dang this was wholesome. Good stuff bro

[@molle1466]

The real question is: Why is RunItBlack not drowning?

[@CarInMyAss]

I enjoy these types of videos. Had this type of thing happen before

[@kholdkhaos64ray11]

Tbh finding ways to release anger and frustration in healthy ways (or "Flavoring your salt" I guess) is an underrated skill. Not even for just fighting games. It's impossible to not get angry at things and people who tell others they shouldn't get angry don't help, but at least don't let the anger consume you.

Great content as always!

[@AstroZombie29]

Keep being wholesome my dude

"Words have weight" Context is heavier

That Tekken Tag game reminded me how funny old mic’s are.

[@kford9271]

That Greyskarr redemption story arc was some wholesomeness.

[@Sorrelhas]

I don't destroy controllers because mid swing I think "this sh*t is expensive as hell" and all anger vanishes

[@炼斌实记KungFuForgedtoFigh]

love ur content, Brian, u looked young for someone who been through the myspace era.

[@ZeludeRose]

hey if anyone else like me looks up "Greyskarr" on yt, be careful when clicking their channel "Greyskarr V" because for some reason they uploaded someone obviously not them having a mental breakdown & attempting to cut their wrist on camera edit: gone now, maybe cuz i reported it lmao

[@soulramen7960]

Dude you are such an intelligent guy. And we all make mistakes. Glad it turned around.

[@LightningCayo]

Whenever I lose I just blame myself and try to get better. Be nice and respect your opponent. Also don’t feel it in your neck.

[@HasvenWorld]

My salt is usually >Lose >Want so badly to blame something else ("omg that move/damage/character/etc is bs") >Know I can't because it's all/mostly me >Get saltier because I can't blame those things Or the second type of salt shown, James?
