Hate Speech: A Formal Introduction

Well it depends on how the ring out was done. I dont mind if i was rung-out (Unless its Hilde) if i was there for quite some time trying to move. I just blame myself for my bad defensive actions, Not much to it. Im glad i have that stepping attack with Amy (4A) I use Cassandra,and Taki as well, but i havent broken them down like i did with Amy. YET.
 
I'm a soldier. I fight in a war(no literally), and I have to prepare myself for the worst.
1.- Prepare my weapons. Hard commands and complicate combos have to be learned and practice so my body remember all better than my brain.

2.- Know the opponent. Try to fight as much as possible against all characters, even rock tier level. Check setups, combos, frame data, specific character player habits (like 6BBB of Amy's users) and recreate possible scenarios and options.

3.- Build Stamina. A good athlete have to give the 120% all the time; in big tournaments you have to keep going and going with short rest sessions. Be ready for it. Endurance is the key.

4.- Concentration and Reaction. Its common to hate turtle's gameplay, but in some random moments you have to rely in all your patience to wait for the right time to attack. Rushing to attack all the time make's you predictable.

5.- Watch and learn. You don't know everything. Even from novice players you can have a good lesson. Try to watch as many videos as you can. Maybe you can find really easy answers to old and new problems.

PD: If everything I wrote before doesn't work then you need a special training called "OMEGA's Training"; maybe you will know why Dominican's players name it like that.
I agree with all. Palabras con luz bro!
 
HERE IS MY THOUGHT.

There are no Absolute Rules for Me, and if 1 RULE should be set is that that.

So my Sort of Guides are the following:

1-USE IMAGINATION- Imagine different ways to overcome a situation
imagine what moves could be used and combined to emerge victorious in a certain moment of the battle. IMAGINATION is the most powerful TOOL along with faith.

2-Never get caught on numbers, Statisticals, or whatever information tries to limit your own expression or your potential, YOU CAN always define and Redefine your own Successful Style.

3-Try to predict what of Your moves You opponent Wont be able to avoid neither block at a certain moment during the battle.

4-Always KEEP Changing your ¨MODES¨during the battle.
if a certain moment requires defensive Mode, Just focus on keeping it safe, if another requires quick fast aggressive Mode, just go on destruction, if another needs You to make your opponent fails, go for it, and so on.

5-Never give up, even if u have 1% life bar, there is always a way to come back! (or at least make you1 opponent waste his ammunitions ).

So those were sort of my guides that came into my mind for approaching to a combat.
 
I am used to using my mind not directly, but naturally for a while now. Why? I am a musician. Learning to play instruments taught me to do this. How? I'll explain this the best I can.

When you first start playing an instrument, anyone who hasn't played said instrument before will consciously think about what note to play next. With time, this thinking turns to natural thinking. You are able to play a song without really thinking about it. It just happens. This is the ideal mindset for doing anything with full focus.

I implemented this thinking into Soul Calibur. Sure, I still had to perfect combos, hard-to-execute moves and learn to defend properly. However, using these traits to your advantage requires experience. Experience is the only way to use your mind naturally. This is also an ideal mindset for adapting to different people's gameplay. I just watch and act accordingly. That said, having character knowledge is very helpful for achieving the mindset. Knowing the opposing character will put less stress on adapting to mix-ups. Although it may be impossible to know all mix-ups, knowing the mix-ups that benefit them the most, and learning to counter them will help alot.

There's my two cents. ^^
