    Darc_Requiem got a reaction from *.:White ShadoW:.* in The Official MEGASHOCK Hot Girl Thread vol.1   
    @MillionX  I wouldn't touch her with a 39  1/2 foot pole. I remember this chick. I can't remember the guys name but he was sort of big YouTuber. He broke down on his stream talking about his abusive ex-girlfriend and things she did to him. He didn't name her but people figured out it was Nicole Arbour. At that point several people backed up his side of the story. The internet took his side. You never see the internet take the guys side. Too many woman out there to fuck with a crazy and abusive one.

    You need to do what married guys do with Netflix. Watch the episodes ahead of time and pretend they haven't seen them. I know guys that got tired of waiting on the wife to a finish series. That's what they did.

    Don't you know what this means???? My sister will continually slow my Yakuza progress as she waits for each remaster to arrive.

    I will tell you this in the most respectful manner...
     
    You need to ditch your sister and just play all the game for yourself. Especially Y2 on the PS2.

    Grats B. 😄 And you de-ranked a Ken in the process. Also good on you for protecting the identities of the fallen.
     
    Time for my online report.  incoming.
     
    So I've been able to stick mostly to the training plan I put together. 30ish minutes of working on stuff in training mode, then 3-5 online sets to try to apply. 

    Overall, still a lot of ups and downs. The ups are that my AAs are better and I think as an aggregate I'm doing better against Ultra Silver/Gold players than I have been so far. The downs are that I'm not doing as well as I thought/wanted to be against the Ultra Silver/Gold players, and I'm still getting tilted/flustered under pressure.
     
    Yesterday started off on a banger of a note: an Alex player who played like Jokee's advice was real (Lariat4Lyfe) with serious teleports periodically. That was a perfect combination of all the stuff that sets me off, and I really should have taken a break after it but I played straight on. Didn't do nearly as bad as I probably should have - especially since nerves and frustration at that point led to me dropping all kinds of stuff - but I really need to enforce a hard 5 minute break rule after matches like that. It does me no good to try to immediately hop back in.
     
    Playing this game is a rollercoaster. One day I'll finish up and feel pretty good about myself even if I lost all my sets. The next day I feel like shit, even if I go mostly even (which is what ended up happening yesterday). 
     
    I know one of the things that is frustrating me is the lack of what seems like progress, but I think I'm looking for that too soon and I think I'm expecting too much. Working at it isn't going to get me to 2-0 sets against players I was having problems with before overnight. I have to keep at it until enough lessons click into place to where that starts to happen.
     
    The other thing that is sort of discouraging is taking a good hard look at how I'm playing in reviews. I thought I was doing okay there for awhile but it turns out I'm mostly shit. 🙂 The list of things I have to work on feels long, and that is without even getting into the really fine grain stuff.
     
    Speaking of that, I think one of my bigger issues is that at a high level I don't really have an offensive plan. I just kind of sort of poke away and take what damage I can, turn things up when I get an LP Bolt or decent blockstring in, and sort of wait it out. That has served me well up to this point and it still works well against some of the crazies, but against the more defensive or even minded players I feel like I'm not doing enough to dictate the pace of the game or put pressure on my opponent. And it leaves me open for a lot of dash up stuff because I'm just sitting there waiting (though that is something I need to train; its on the list).
     
    Despite discouragement and frustrations I'm sticking with it. If nothing else I'm getting more and more match up and general player tendency knowledge. I'm dipping back into Ranked on Weds to see how things go there, though I also don't want to de-rank too much if I can help it so I can keep getting experience against US/Gold (which is where I seem to need it).

    Also has the connection quality been particularly shitty for anyone else? Out of the last couple of days of me playing only around 1/3 of the games I've played didn't have noticeable rollback. Granted I'm running into plenty of PC/PS4 crossplay (which I remember having issues) and fuckers keep showing up with Suzaku Castle and such for stages, which doesn't help.
     
    I was thinking the other day: for the way I naturally want to play this game, maybe I should have picked Birdie. Not that I'm necessarily gonna do anything with that, just a random thought.

    Harry's so far down the line of succession that it's not an issue. His brother's kids are in line before him.

    Fujimura (Yukadon) just freed up Infiltraion. Reset the bracket and 6-0'd Infiltration. Crazy...Infiltration looked unstoppable all tournament. Fujimura just was just ridiculous today.

    I'm with Bee on this one.  Let us not upset poor Angel any more than I've already done.  In fact, here's a peace offering.

    Pretty much. The last time I saw him post was about lewd pics. So I know he is still alive and fueled by tatas.
