its why RTS games have less toxic communities relatively speaking. the fact that its more often played 1v1 and has a very high technical skill requirement floor, it becomes. obvious when one person gets outplayed
That’s the wrong mentally for team games. You’re supposed to be the reason your team loses, and then do elaborate mental gymnastics to explain how it was actually another player’s fault.
Among my friends growing up, nobody would even play fighting games with me because I would always beat them. Savagely. Like double cherry with Dan styling on them.
And then compared to people who regularly play them when they started being online, I still fucking suck dick. 😩
Did that in racing games. Every single race, mega dominant, went online, mega dominant, went into a youtube discord and immediately got trashed by people who could actually race and weren’t just relying on everyone else being too shit to win.
He has the right idea, but the wrong reasons. Among my friends there is a pretty clear pecking order in our fighting game skills, generally with 1v1s producing the same results. When we play team games like smash, we can cheer for each other and find some success to celebrate collectively. Instead of everyone feeling bad that Dave destroyed us again. Fuck you, Dave.
