what my goals in sf6 are
do i want to climb ranked? do i care if i make gold? plat? diamond? do i want to be able to go toe to toe with my strongest, coolest fgc friends? do i just wanna get better?
if i'm not thoughtful i'll just stress and burn myself out like i did with speedrunning
i went on a 12-win streak from silver 1 to gold 1 tonight so i feel like less of an imposter now!
I've been enjoying ranked so far. I think rather than setting any set goal for myself, my plan is to see where I plateau and set my goal to get just outside of that range. I can always revise later!
Getting to play and improve with my friends is a big one too!
yeah, for sure. it can be hard if i get in a salt spiral, but i went on a fire streak tonight, 12 wins, and now i'm in gold 1, sooooooooo i'm doing something right i guess?
i do wanna get good enough to play with my real good friends over in plat and diamond and such
Sweet! I'm grinding my way through gold, managed to get Gold 5 today despite some of the online server issues. Getting on a big streak seems to be rewarded by the ranking systems and you aren't similarly punished on losing streaks so I hope that'll help balance out how bad it feels to lose. Plus, salt spirals shouldn't have the ability to wipe out all your progress any more which is nice!
Who have you been playing character wise?
i've been playing kimberly, she's my favorite! i'm sort of learning dee jay but i'm not very competent with him yet
who are you playing!! also do you wanna fight some time?
I've been playing Guile and a little bit of Manon from time to time because I've always meant to pick a grappler up and this is the first time their tool kit made sense!
I'd be down to run a few sets sometime!
