Just to start things off I love playing videogames, been playing them since I could spell my name and one of my faves is Tekken (along with Final Fantasy and Soul Calibur but that's besides the point). So I'm what you would call a Beast in that game right (I'm not being arrogant this is what people have told me :)) and everyone I play I beat especially the guys, oooohhh they hate it when I beat them, they talk all that trash but then want to get mad and say the game was cheating when I clearly crushed them, such sore losers smh.
Anywho, we finally got WiFi awhile ago so I figured I'd play online, pick my girl Asuka and thrash a few people .... -____- as soon as it began I could tell it was over. My backside along with my ego was served to me on a platter, I could barely get a freakin lick in but I figured ok whatever I'll go a few rounds with other people .......*a few minutes later* "OHHH MYYY GOOOSHHHH!!!! CAN I FREAKIN GET UP! JEEESH!" by this time I was getting angry, this butt much didn't even have the common decency to let me get up .... I lost that fight. I had a couple more fights where people juggled me for what seemed like an eternity and did inhumane combos, I actually almost won one but the other person's internet was lagging which caused him to get a hit in at the last moment, I'm pretty sure you could just imagine my facial expression ( double -___- with a few frustrated grunts and some wailing hands & feet) By that time I had already reasoned that these people were losers that obviously had nothing else better to do with their lives than sit on their couch and memorize combos that AREN'T even on the flippin command list. So I got out while I could plus my win/loss ratio/percentage was going down and I couldn't have that (I'm one of those people that start the game over or exit if I know I'm about to lose ... whatever, don't judge me I know you do it too and if not there are probably countless other less than moral things you do that don't even compare to my minuscule deed). The funny thing is, I did go online and Google some combos, I wrote a couple down and tried them out but they were too complicated so I gave up.
After that humiliating and slightly traumatic experience I never played VS on Tekken 6 online again :(. I blame those less than par individuals I had to play against, if I would've had worthy opponents then my skills wouldn't be lacking lol jk but there is some truth to that statement, I was used to playing against people who's skills were sub par (no offense) and I was a champ, yes, but when it came to people that were actually a challenge I was utterly pulverized. At the end of the day it was proven that I obviously wasn't as good as I thought I was.
This doesn't just apply to videogames it can apply to anything in life *shrugs* It happens to the best of us. Honestly, you can never progress if you aren't challenged, anyone can
overcome the easy hurdles and think they're a champ but if that's all
you overcome you never progress whether it be mentally, physically, emotionally, in a videogame etc
It was a humiliating yet humbling experience I guess -__-. Moral of the story is you never know how good you are NOT until you meet someone better :)
I still feel those people don't have lives .... jk :)
Wonderful blog lil cuz! WOW!
