Yo lotus im glad you’re back but i really wanted to say if you ever needed to take a break from anything just take it bc you’re mental and physical matters y’know but yea im glad you’re back and i also graduated high school so congrats to me i guess lol

Man the moment I saw the video show up I found myself shoutin' "Hell yeah, welcome back." Glad you were able to take care of yourself and take some time!

Sometimes it really is the music you’ve been listening to for years that randomly hits you when you need to hear it, glad to see you back man

I was just thinking Lotus hasn't uploaded in a minute. Glad to have you back!

Earl Sweatshirt goes hard man. If I throw on Lupe, Earl, Clever, Sleep Token or The Amity Affliction I feel good afterwards

I opened up KZfaq JUST thinking "...where's lotus been?" Love to have you back man, I think your whole community supports you taking the time you need. Everyone needs a break from time to time

Glad to see you’re back and feeling better. Relate big to the part about music in the beginning. It’s crazy how you could be feeling at an all time low and a certain album or song can snap you out of it.

Take care of your mental, bruh! 🙏🏽

Glad you’re back and feeling better man. We all get like that so I’m happy you took the time off to get yourself together

Happy your back. Take all the time you need.

Glad to see you back man! Hope everything is better on your end mate. Sometimes we all need to take some time for ourselves to work through our problems in life. You gotta do what’s best for you man but I’m glad to see you back here and posting 👊🏼 And seeing as you asked, I’m doing good man.. about to move over 600 miles away in 4 days time (I live in the uk), I got cleared for my new job 2 days ago and then I booked the flights that day for Wednesday 😅

Lotus i want to thank you so much bro! I have been feeling the same way of not being in the funk. Ive been lacking on what needs to be done. You, one of my favorite yt telling me how you been feeling knocked me out of my funk bro. I love you so much bro and thank you for all that you have done for me indirectly.

Glad you are back man! I have a hard time even asking for 1 day off from work but then I remember how important mental health is! Everyone needs a break take care of yourself first! We will still be here supporting you!

I was thinking I missed some of your uploads only to check your channel and not see a new video. Glad you’re back bro! Also, for anyone wondering about the “we only use x% of our brain”, a lot of people repeat the idea that we only use 10% but that’s a myth. It doesn’t help that there were movies based on this fact but the majority of the brain is almost always active.

Good to see you back man it’s always good to take time to deal with the mental. And im huge earl sweatshirt fan

Glad to see you back man. Music pulls me out of funks too. Everyone needs a break sometimes

EARLLLLLLLLLLL! Those two are the best. Some Rap Songs has some secret bangers on it though. MINT might be my favorite Earl song all time, def top 3. Also, "what's good nigga, I heard you back, I need them raps nigga. I need the verse, I don't care what you going through, or what you gotta do, I need bars, 16 of them!"

Glad you're back and hopefully feeling better! Funks are part of life, it's all good.

Glad you’re in a better mental & physical place Lotus no need to explain the reasoning for stepping back rather one of our favorite KZfaqr/streamer ghost us than crash out health wise. Recently had the same experience not being able to move how I’d like with the things I enjoy but like you said music is a VERY powerful and can resonate with anyone I went back to the Lil Wayne “Tha Cater V” as it hits close and I forget that sometimes so it brought me back to Earth. That and this show on Netflix called “Black Mirror” which my older homies would always recommend because they it’s a complete mind fu*k tbh but season 1 episode 2 was the one that really dug me out not sure if you’ve seen it but I’d highly recommend it I feel you’d have a few good laughs and enjoy the moral of the story. And if anyone who isn’t Lotus sees this keep on pushing through whatever you got going on it can be annoying and stressful sometimes but take it one step at a time everyone can find peace in something ✌🏾

Everybody deserves a break once in a while, do what's best for you, we'll be here:3 happy to see you back in action!^-^

I'm glad your back I was really getting worried cuz I don't have Twitter so I didn't know anything but glad you're ok man

Return of the Lotus! Mental health...man, somedays you wake up and say "Let's get it" and other days you look at outside and say "fuck off sun". Glad you took some time. Would rather know everyone is healthy...as we can be.

Sweatshirt and Tyler got me back into hip hop after a 15 year hiatus as a 30 year old white dude I didn’t think it was possible I though hip hop was in a bad place but was proven wrong. 10 years later I’m 40 and I’m still listening to kendrick Tyler Earl Frank gambino tzarface action droog alchemist DOOM ghostface mavi rtj Danny brown Mike. Shits good there’s a lot of shit out there that’s way more popular than it should be but people are stupid and I never followed or had any interest in what stupid people like 😅 that’s why I play fighting games and watch anime I guess 🤷‍♀️ glad you back dude

Aye bro it happens to any of us. I don't mind you needing some time to yourself. Glad you're back!

Finally I’ve been waiting for lotus to come back been missing the tekken videos I went back to watch his tekken 7 videos

Earl can definitely carry you through some tough times, welcome back man 🙏🏾

HECK YEA!!! I was just thinking about you dude. Welcome back!✌️

Welcome back unc! Been waiting for your videos!!

Glad you got some rest man! Definitely missed your uploads but health and mental take priority

i know like i do my lars bit but on the real, lotus you are a cool dude. im glad you are back and you take care of yourself.

That Reina move is UF 3+4, and it has a followup 1+2 very good for wall carry. FF 3+4 is also very good to its only (-2) on block so you can step after and its a CH launcher

The man who actually made me understand the beauty that is Hwoarang and not just a spammy monkey, but a stylish, oiled Machine. Thanks for returning, you’re my favorite Hwoarang player to watch!

i hit tekken king then ended in a massive slump down to near-Fujin too. I saw your Tekken King video and thought "If this carried Hwoarang dude can get to Tekken King why can't I?*" and pushed from Kishin to Tekken King in one session. Then got stomped all the way down to Raijin over the next day or two and now I'm ping-ponging in Bushin again. I got faith in you getting your rank back (actually checked and saw you got it back, congrats!). And do not feel bad for taking a step back from something if you're feeling like shit. You don't need to apologise for trying to do better by yourself and others. * I am joking about Hwoarang carrying. I'm kinda shit against him. The real people being carried (and another reason I pushed through the ranks) are people plugging. I got a match against one of the worst Laws I've seen when I was Kishin. He was Tekken God Supreme. He fucked so much up then quit when he whiffed his rage art on the final round. Now he's God of Destruction and looking through his replays to see the matches he didn't quit out of sucks. He was legit playing against a Beginner Rank Victor in Ranked while at Teken God Supreme. And he's not banned. EDIT: I have played waaaaaaaaaaaaay too many games in ranked...

Welcome back man

He's back!!

Hey bro, it's good to see that you're back and doing well, taking care of your health should always be the #1 priority.

Glad you’re back man!

Glad to see you back Lotus!

Glad you feeling better broski. Gonna keep aalsking if we can train together. Being #1 Hwoa on Xbox I want to see how we match up against each other.

welcome back gojo satoru

Nothing wrong with taking a break. Everybody is low sometimes we’re human. I’m just glad you’re still here

Your body knows when you need a break so if you don't take one, it'll decide for you. Always take care of yourself first and welcome back!

The goat is back. 😮

Yeeerrrrp🎉🎉 the upload I have been waiting for. Glad to see you back on the grind my guy

I was just thinkin about you bro. "Damn, when was the last time Lotus posted?" Then there goes the notification. Welcome back, king. Hope the break did you real good. Always take care of yourself man. Be easy and see you next vid bro. ✌🏾

mental is more important than anything focus on your Health brother good to see you back

Bro we don't give a damn, and I say that in the most respectful way possible. When life happens you gotta attend to it, we get that. Take all the time you need whenever you need man. Hope everything goes well for you. 🙏🏿🐢

Welcome back man

I remember you saying you were going to take a break, but then Tekken 8 dropped. It seems to me you pushed past your limit, giving us great content, but it caught up with you. I'm glad you had some time off. I hope your next break will be more fun. Excited you're back.

Your health and mental health is most important, you don’t owe us an explanation to what’s happening or an apology, take care of yourself first and foremost. Hope all is well now and hope you have any support you need. Like many others have said, a lot of us can all relate to the struggles with mental health despite our different circumstances, never hesitate to reach out to your community if you need support. You’ve cultivated an empathetic community from what I can tell so kudos to you, that’s a testament to who you are. A lot of FGC groups are cynical so that’s a huge positive man. Also screw Paul 😂. My first 0-6 double set was against a Paul that absolutely wrecked me in a few hits. And leave us Azucena mains alone! It’s been a whirlwind.

Its been a while since I ate lunch with a Lotus vid.

Glad you’re back Lotus! And glad that my distain for law players is valid

Vince is the goat, dude could easily be a stand up comic if he didn’t rap

Glad you took a break to recharge. By the way I’m a law player (now playing Eddy) that always runs it back unless bad connection happens

Glad you back

Sometimes a hiatus is what we all need. Hope your back in a good spot.

Law vs Hwoa has always been a difficult fight for Hwoa generally. Law's d2,3 is always going to catch hwoa unless hwoarang does a hard read and u/f 4 from Right Flamingo and law is late on the d2,3. Hwoarang has nothing except u/f 3+4 from Left Flamingo so Law is going to challenge Left Flamingo whenever he gets the chance and it will usually hit/trade in Law's favor.

I’m glad Lotus is back bro KZfaq has been lame since he and CoryxKenshin were gone

Honestly, I thought youtube recs was just hoeing you. It's good to know you were just on hiatus, and welcome back.

That Vince Staples album dropped today I was just listening to it.

Lotus I want my run back lmao I wasn't prepared

Hearing Lotus talk about Ealr makes me want to listen to Earl.

W

You made me wanna main Hwoarang bro

Welcome back Lotus! ✨

That's facts in the Perfect. I'll literally get Perfected and then Perfect them the very next round after that. And vice versa

Glad to see you’re back, praying for you. I get if it’s not your thing, but religion has been helping me a lot with mental health!

I feel that Azucena needs more ways to go into stance. But I may just be bad. I haven’t really played with her on ranked and only on quick play.

Never listened to Earl Sweatshirt before. Burgundy goes hard af.

Lotus i see the skyrockets

the move kazuya did at 1:00 is b3 punishable papi

Crazy cause Vince dropped the album same day this uploaded

I thought you were out dissing Drake. WB my dude

My main is Jun. She carried me to red ranks and I swapped to Reina and I haven't looked back. She's so much fun.

10-16% of our brain capabilities

I hit fujin rank 🎉🎉

Yoooo

no way ur a earl fan too bro

Probably spring kicked, since spring describes the kick

Will you feel better lotus ?

The brain thing was debunked a long time ago. Take your time whenever you need tho bro.

HEEEEE’SSSS BAAAACCCKKKKK

Humans use their full brain. It was just a theory that we don’t.

My man's apologizing for being human

Sup gamer

19:20 The saying was we only use 10% of our brain but that’s been proven false. It's one of those things that just got popular fast and people ran with it. Like how alpha wolves and stuff like that

Maybe the save file got corrupted or along those lines 🤷‍♂️. It's strange.

Earl is dope but i feel like he aint for everybody. My favorite song of his is probably Hive

Lotus are law players the equivalent of gogeta players

Azucena is just your average character now (below average to some people) she got her legs chopped off

Did you boost ?

You left?

Wait a minute… if you don’t play for awhile you will automatically get demoted??

If hwosrang that boring switch to asuzana

Idk man Azucena has the lowest win rate other than Reina. She's got the worst tracking and the worst while running move now. A lot of attacks will whiff on people who are standing completely still. Her stances have decent mixups but she's far from the strongest character.

Yea perfected is easy to get even against better players just by being aggressive and random asf 😂😂

I don’t think that song is a healthy response to your mental health. Just because everyone has problems worse than yours doesn’t make yours less important. Sure everyone has problems but your not less then anyone less

This game is ass so I don’t blame you
