Number 0: Therapy

“Fuck it, we ball”

My Pro-Tip to Avoid Tilt: Spectate your game as you play it. Enjoy the pretty colors and cool combos, even when they're done to you.

Number 1: Just don't shut up. Dont bottle it up. If you are alone just spam verbally whatever your soul feels.

How did it take me half way thru the vid to realise the reina customer was baiken lol

Fighting an equal footing battle is peak fighting game experience

I am in a ssbu and earlier this week one person spiked his controller and broke it, so I took it home to fix and mod it and I found out he snapped the pcb board.

Number 5 is so true though. Back Xrd Sign, I had a "Tilt Uno Reverse" combo with slayer, where if I was getting tilted, I would 5D>j.S>j.S>j.S>jc>j.S every chance I could. Did it do F all damage? Yeah. Did hearing Slayer laugh mockingly at my opponent feel insanely satisfying and funny? Heck yeah!

It is what it is is a good tool if your charachter is "objectively" "worse"

Now watch gekko forget every single one of these tips when he fights my 250ms sol

Play against your friends! (Get them tilted instead)

That last one, where you just throw caution to the wind and go apeshit because fuck it...I did that on DnF duel with the gunner chick. Couldn't zone worth a damn actually doing combos, so I just ended up using her basic shot combo with totally random timing, refusing to do ANYTHING else. 7 match winning streak that way, because I just gave up and did something bananas.

My best tip for this in all of life is trust the opponent, trust they're doing what they think is best against you, believe they're trying their best because they wanna put up a fight, projectile spam? They're testing your patience, it's a good time to train how to punish this tactic, stuff like this, if you think your opponent is trying to win, you'll justify it in any way, but if you think they're here to put up a fight, you can focus better on your mistakes and what you can do alternatively next time. It is more or less the first point but for everything, shooters, fighters, idk Roblox, your opponent isn't doing cheap tactics, they're testing your skills to measure you up and you have the opportunity to rise up that occasion, show them your best.

Tips 3 and 5 is actually why I tilt the most, funnily enough. For context, I mostly either play Strive in the lab or against my friend. I main Axl, but I go for a more combo-oriented playstyle that uses my range as a tool for hype rather than my win condition. ...and that's the problem. My friend mains Bridget, who I absolutely despise, and while she's looping pressure and using 4 moves the entire game, I want to do cool shit. Because I'm stuck in the corner all game, I say "fuck it" and focus on something else: my defense. During the match, I find myself just practicing IBs, since the combos are as predictable as a Disney twist villain. My opponent notices that they can't land a hit on me, and so they start going for grabs to open me up. I'm focused on trying to find the small amount of joy I can against this god-forsaken character, but then I get grabbed and I'm ripped away from my goal that I set that wasn't just me winning the match. Especially tip 5, I did this in a Millia vs Bridget matchup. I did so many things: going for specific mixups, doing specific dumb options, hell, I even tried to lower my APM as much as possible before my friend noticed. Still didn't make that 0-80 session any more bearable than if I had actually tried.

I honestly really needed this vid. Been rage queuing in t8 for the past two days and have been promoted and demoted between orange and yellow. Thanks gek!

These are like my thoughts exactly. This really did help me when I was discovering how to not tilt when I was trying to tilt less long ago. So fr, I am glad you are spreading this message.

what helped me avoid tilt was changing my mindset from "why did he do that?" to "what could i have done there?"

There's something weird about fighting games where I can go 3-30 and just think of how fun the game is I find personally, just acknowledging that your opponent is cracked can honestly make the game a lot more fun in my experience, changes the mindset from a 'this game is bullshit and they're only winning because of that' to a 'this guy's pretty good I wonder if I can beat them if I adapt enough.

I needed this video 😊

That’s why I like GGST when I get tilted I just go fishing

Tip 5 is the realest shit ever, when I get tilted I just pick Faust in open park and near exclusively use item toss 50 meter? Super item toss Easiest way to un-tilt ever

7:45 This happened to me recently where i went, "Holy crap that's me?" I love the positive mental tips

Sometimes you just gotta be the Sol Badguy of video games. *BANDIT BRINGER*

Something to note Losing and taking an L feel vastly different Just losing happens But lesrning to take Ls, to just hold those unexpected or painful failures, that's where you know you can and are doing better

Im gonna subscribe AND YOU CANT STOP ME Thatll surely improve my mental

Sending this to my friend who gets angry every time I say he’s tilting

LET'S GOOO GEKKO MADE IT TO VANQUISHER!!!! WOOOO YEAHHH!!!

Let’s gooo “RAW MEAAATTTT!!!!!!”

For a second I saw the headline and thought we're talking about Serious Sam lore

Honestly it could be cool if they had things like custom objectives you can set up, things like land this move after that move, or if it cant be tracked as easily, just input your own objects for yourself to track. something so that its viewable before, durring and after the match. this way you can get people into the habbit of setting up these simple goals before they move onto setting up more complex goals while having a small ingame thing to do so. and as a bonus you could tie a small reward to completing these. sure this could probably be exploited but the point is that this system could help encourage people into healthier ways of looking at situations rather than the result of the match itself

For strive I mash taunt while getting comboed and stop right b4 they drop the combo uts helped alot at learning when it's actually safe to swing

i definitely need to get silly with it more often tbh

im gekkin out rn

Ah, yes, the highest among top tiers.

My issue is by playing pot I just sort of accepted that most people were hard matchups, so I just didn’t focus on the matchup and just played looking for openings and ways I could fight back. But this has caused rage because my REALLY bad matchups no longer felt like bad matchups, but more like a cheesy opponent designed to ruin my day and I would get mad.

I made a Baiken Reina costume too. Great minds think alike 👍

0:18 Yo is that Reina in a Baiken cosplay?! Cool!

In response to the "just go apeshit" i did this playing against Millia as Bedman? once. I was getting trashed because... bedman vs millia and ended up doing the dumbest shit, random aerial 236s, super on the opponents wakeup, jump grab out of h disc, roundstart 6h, you get the gist. I won the next 3 matches. sometimes dumb shit just works

Honestly just skill, mental (usually) improves with experience and playtime. I mean once you’ve played 2000-3000+ matches you get used to the fact you’re gonna lose some of em.

My problem right now is the Celestial Challenge, i get super nervous every time and i just can't play it right

just dont lose

has someone made a video explaining what roman cancels do and the inputs you need to use for them? i don't get how they work

does those advices goes with with Eddy Gordo in tekken because i dont think so

Me with my literal 0% win rate watching this video trying to find the actual fix to tilt

NAW YOU MUST UNLEASH THE BEAST Don't care about The low or high teirs understand THE WAVE ADAPT TURN THE WHEEL! WHEN KNOCKED DOWN AND FOCUS ON THE FUN LOSING IS WINNING SHOWING YOUR FLAWS HARNESS THE rAgE NOW SHOW THEM WHY YOUR D BEST!!

I just laugh at everything

*Opens game* *goes into tower* *gets knocked down from floor 7 to floor 3 in the biggest losing streak of my life* Why do I bother trying anymore

Im in red ranks in Tekken and cant react to lows still. I will lose a set but I feel hype as fuck when I low parry that low that was fucking me up the entire set 1 time

Fuck it we ball

Bro I got tilted from getting destroyed by a pot player and ragequitted because I realized that I'm actually dogshit at the gam, then this video popped up.

3:30 unrelated but what's the background music that plays in this section? It's really pretty

Misinformation. Happiness comes from alcohol, not positivity.

Not after you know Bridget is 19 lol

what's the song at around 3:30??

i wasa really into GG Strive and Tekken 8... But with GG i got to floor 10 and then kept losing all the time, and in T8 i can't get out of purple AT ALL. I got so salty to the point i just straight up quit. i did all the tricks and used all the tools. But no matter how much i practice and try to improve (and by god do i hate spending hours into the practice mode cuzz i definetly ain't playing then) it didn't work. I just couldn't translate any of it into the actual fights.... So i gave up and now it's been more then a month since i played a fighting game and i just can't bring myself to get back into those time sinks.... It feels very sad though, i loved playing Bedman? and Reina.

can you make one of these about league so i can send it to my good friend sam

The biggest thing I have to say is yes it is unfair. That’s legitimately unfortunately how everything works. Not in the world is cruel way cause thats horse shit, but in the idea that there will never be a scenario in any game ever that you are equal. So much goes into skill and the game. While you might be able to be boxed together in the same bracket of skill that doesn’t mean one of you isn’t superior. That can mean one has better inputs, mindset, a clearer head, had a better day, played more, failed more, more determination, more study the list goes on and on. Unfair doesnt mean bad tho. Unfairness and difference between opponents is what competition is about! Its a challenge its a question to you to grow better. Everything is a problem you must solve, and sometimes you just can’t do it in time, you’re too slow on that counter or block input, etc etc and you lose. Good! Thats experience its practice its giving you the slight neuron firing to eventually build to growth. Thats happens if you accept unfairness, and stop looking at things as raw skill or who has the better character. Its just a game its just a match its a problem with a time limit. If you don’t solve it well guess what that legitimately means nothing losing in video games is literally impossible cause theres nothing you can tangibly lose. Rank? Who cares get it back. You lost out on an item or unlock? So what get another one. Money? It was never yours to begin with so no you didn’t lose it. Pride? Humble yourself its a video game.

cant lose at fighting games if you dont play fighting games enough

I saw the thumbnail change and that usually means the video isn't performing for unknown reason. It's youtube, youtube is fucking up your views. why ? no one knows. The vid is good and helpfull, thanks buddy. Amma go stay tilt free in ranked now.

Why no talk about tea bagging :( I only get tilted on that :(

I try to talk to the person that beat me. It helps to remember that the perspn your fighting is a human being and not some jerk tard who wants to ruin your day.

Just be the spammer 😎

No. 1 Don’t play ranked

My biggest problem is that I don't play to win. I play to lose. In the most spectacular and interesting way possible. (No, 2 combos to death is spectacular, but super boring) And for rewards. Curse you, Shorts and easy availability of entertainment for what you've done to my attention! Curse you! It's gotten so bad this past year, that I now afk matches to some youtube video, if I see I'm even moderately worse than opponent. Because, what's the point of sticking out till the end, if I know the ending? And matchmaker now is khm, less than perfect What helps is: to change game once I afk one match. Because if I do, it'll keep happening every other match. Hearing "Believe in Victory" at the start of every match is good. But not enough. I'm aware that this is just adding more fuel to the 'adhd' fire. But like, I'm okay with that. I'll deal with that later, it's not like it's such a big nuisance, after all

My thoughts? If you're constantly getting tilted at a luxury hobby like video games (again, as a hobby, this doesn't apply if you're playing for money) you really need to reevaluate why you play games at all.
