I believe that's one thing I didn't do well tonight... I immediately jumped back in and I think that made it worse... I will remember that next time. Thanks!Don't jump right into the next match if you lose. Take a minute on the select screen to compose yourself, gather your thoughts, and take a breather.
That's what I was thinking too. I mean, this was the first time I had competed in mk and it just felt overwhelming... I will try gum and hopefully the more I play, the better I will get at coping with it.Hey, although i still suffer a bit from tournament nerves, It has gotten better. The short of it is, experience. The more you play in tournament the more comfortable you will feel which will help with nerves. Aside from that take deep breaths before your match, and i find that chewing on gum throughout the tournament tends to also help me relieve my nerves.
my nigga tells the truth.Just keep playing. Go to as many tournaments and locals as you can. The way to get over nerves is simply to be put in that situation over and over. Eventually it will stop bothering you.
I remember way back when I started going to tournaments, I would fall apart and forget how to play in every match, I was so nervous. After enough times, it didn't even bother me when I was in the grand finals at my locals and everyone was yelling around me every time I got opened up haha.
Just keep playing. You'll get over the nerves!
A couple shots of Captain makes me play like a complete beast or like I've never played the game before, no in between.A couple of JDs will do the trick
Theoretically, one would assume this helps.Weed.
Weed would be the last thing I would do before a tournament lol it definitely makes me dumb and zone out for hours lol.Theoretically, one would assume this helps.
But it actually makes it worse for me personally. I zone too much. And not "eat this force ball" zone.
Lol I've actually sat there admiring the combos being done to me like "ooo what's next?!"Weed would be the last thing I would do before a tournament lol it definitely makes me dumb and zone out for hours lol.
Now maybe one shot of something would help me loosen up and not be so nervous
Years if u smoke 1 spliff each week lolWeed and alcohol aren't used as often as they are tossed around here on TYM. I think its the "cool guy" answer. Not everyone is an operational weed head or alchie - it actually takes years to harvest that skill anyway.
Stop being beta.
Become alpha.

In other words, stop giving a shit. Just play.
bruh...This sounds simple. But just don't give a fuck.
Hardly... I compete, and that's pretty much my mentality for staying calm.these points are meaningless.
