note to self

don't worry so much about getting DEWGF, or even EWGF consistently if you can't do hellsweep or cd+3 on command or do followup to hellsweep on command...

you also tend to play weaker on the right side still, so work on that side more...

start using all fingers on your right hand to play the game, not just the index and middle; put your thumb on left kick, and your ring on right kick... that should help you a bit; get used to doing hellsweep with the ring, and possibly the cd+3 with the thumb

also consider using only thumb and middle finger to cd on the right side, and the index and middle to cd on the left side; maybe your cd will improve; why not...

and start using sidestep more in the game; you're still not using that enough, or simple low pecks OCCASIONALLY

my mcb 162 professor is the worst lecturer i've ever had

his notes are terrible... very small, scratchy letters on the chalkboard, goes all over the place instead of being organized, or at the very least, putting his notes on the powerpoint that he uses anyhow... making it very hard to copy what he says and writes... i was literally going to scream out of frustration in the middle of class, thank God i didn't...

the rest of the quarter better not be like today...

the good side is that my tape recorder comes in handy for classes such as these, but i'm still pretty annoyed...

some other student summed it best up when i overheard her walking out...

"that is the worst lecturer ever"

the packers really aren't going anywhere this season, huh?

btw, remember how it was told you "it doesn't whether you win or lose; it's how you play the game?"

or was it "it doesn't matter whether you win or lose; it's whether you have fun?"

i consider that mentality rubbish...

because it does not force you to play hard...

or for that instance... to play correctly...

i understand that when we were kids, that was drilled into our heads to keep us from becoming sore losers... to keep us from psychologically breaking down after every close loss...

and that's important. game is STILL a game.

but i guarentee you will get more out of whatever games you play when play with a disciplined mindset like you want it.

just don't kick yourself *too much* over the head for every blowout, loss, and close loss...

learn from your mistakes, practice, practice, and come back and take some more...

until you can win...

tekken 5's fun

so i'm playing against some ppl tekken 5 @the mu earlier today...

and i'm getting slightly better at devil jin, as i'm learning to space more and not blindly rush or keep backdashing, and it's showing with the wins... but it still really peeves me how i can't wavedash, or do dewgf... AT ALL... i can't even nail ewgf or hellsweep consistently...

and in one scenario vs someone playing law i'm pretty much dead, but launched my opponent, and could've finished off my opponent in one round with a juggle combo, but ended up botching the combo, and the opponent falls prematurely to the ground... gets an "OH!" outta me, cause i know i'm pretty much done... and i proceed to hold down/back, dreading the wake-up game...

then he gets up with a low kick and i block it, which staggers him, then gratefully take my guarenteed uppercut launcher on him and then finish the juggle and his lifebar while yelling "WwWWWwOOOoOOOOOooOooooOoooOO!!!!" to noone in particular, just really glad i could make a comeback...

and in another scenario it's down to round 3(damn mu has 2/3 setting, not 3/5; but hey; at least it's only 1 token/quarter), and i'm against lee chaolan, and i'm leading by a bit in lifebar, like maybe 50%, and my opponent's about 20%, and we're both just backdashing and dashing back and forth around midrange... both of us are kinda testy to rush in and attack... then i decide for the weirdest reason to use dj's long-range laser... i mean, it's a scrub move; slow as hell, can be ducked/sidestepped, devil jin's totally open to punishment, but i thought it wasn't a bad gamble; we were fullscreen, so there was no way he could close the distance that fast after dodging it and hit me hard... at least it would keep the game from being so tense at longrange like that... i throw it out...

and KO him...

i couldn't stop laughing...
