FGC Philosophy

Hello All,

 

With so much going on in life, I thought I'd keep this episode simple. I attempt to dive into the topic of learning Hit-confirming with the character Karin in the game Street Fighter V. On the surface it's a simple topic, but I found that the more I tried to explain the concept of learning hit-confirming, the more in-depth it got. I hope you all enjoy!

FGCP #58. Is the FGC Becoming Too Soft?

This topic has been popping up so much that it's hard to avoid talking about it. I'm not sure how best to start talking about this topic so rather than tackling the topic head-on, I look at a few recent events. These events are fairly diverse but illustrate the discourse that's been happening lately in the FGC.

FGC Philosophy #56. Are Japanese Fighting Game Developers Falling Behind?

 

Japanese fighting game developers recently did a virtual round table to discuss various topics (links below). they covered range of topics including the ever-popular netcode. Megamaxstar and myself dig into this conversation and talk about various topics and announcements made at this event. We also discuss the new characters revealed for season 6 of Street Fighter V: Champion Edition.

 

Updates 

I’m getting married next week! This also means no FGC philosophy next week. After that we should be back to our regularly scheduled programming.

 

I’ve been enjoying alot of fighting games lately and focusing more on fun/learning rather than just winning. I’ve been enjoying Fantasy Strike and Power Rangers: Battle For The Grid. It’s refreshing to be playing fighting games having fun rather than being hyper competitive all the time.

 

Podcast Topics

Spider-man exclusively deals with sony!

Square Enix (Developers of the Marvel's Avengers game, made a deal with sony for exclusive rights to Spider-man on the PS4. Many gamers are up in arms about this and Max and I discuss different viewpoints surrounding this topic.

#55. My Journey with negative self-talk and self-doubt

 

I've been reflecting on the topic of self-doubt and negative self-talk quite a bit lately. I thought it wise for me to reflect on my own life and explore my experience with this topic. 

 

Why is talking about negative self-talk and self-doubt an important topic to talk about? Well, because it holds people back on several levels. It can stop us from being the best version of ourselves. It can cripple us from ever taking our first steps in any area of life.

 

I also want this to be an introduction to a topic that is very complicated. This is a topic I’m going to revisit again in the future, so this is a good starting place .

FGCP 54. How to have more confidence

 

Hello all!

It was my birthday during the recording of this podcast. I decided to have a few drinks and do the podcast live. It was incredibly fun, thank you all for joining me and supporting me. 

 

Today’s topic was inspired by my journey, and the journey of many others including some of my clients. Confidence is such a HUGE topic for me but it’s also hard to discuss. It’s hard to use just words to help others have confidence but I want to take a crack at it. I hope this helps someone out there. Improving my confidence

Main Topic - 3:56

Why is confidence even important?

You’re not held back by your fearLive the life you want to be

Be the person you want to be

Achieve more

 

What is confidence?

Confidence means feeling sure of yourself and your abilities — not in an arrogant way, but in a realistic, secure way. Confidence isn't about feeling superior to others. It's a quiet inner knowledge that you're capable. Confident people: ... feel ready for everyday challenges like tests, performances, and competitions.

 

Tips for being more confident

Be willing to put in CONSISTENT time toward working on your confidence.

None of the rest of these topics are going to do much good if you are not willing to put in the time and dedication. 

Just like working out or any other skill, your improvement will not happen overnight, and it won’t happen at all if you aren’t consistent.

Make this a priority!

Don’t tie self-image to your confidence/self-worth

When I say self-image I don’t just mean what you look like.

Self-image can be related to what you can or can’t do, or what you have or have not achieved in life.

Self-image can also be related to what others think of you (OR what you think others think of you)

Avoid Comparing yourself to someone else, or even yourself!

Progress Through struggle gives you confidence

Life is a journey not a destination, focus on the process not the progress.

Stay focused on the process NOT the results

Confidence comes when you Celebrate the effort NOT THE OUTCOME

Visualize who you want to be

Use this as a tool to reverse engineer the person you want to be.Discover the habits and thought processes that person has.

Treat confidence as if it were a skill

Confidence must be worked on consistently

Expose yourself to what you’re scared of

The more you work on your confidence the better it gets.

Eliminate negative self-talk and replace it with positive self talk

My go-to is “I got this shit!”

Change your inner dialog

Use inspirations as inner dialog

It’s getting easier but still not easy

 

Main Topics

Manage and monitor your self-talkIs it positive or negative?

START going into a learning mindset.

AskWhat did I learn about this?

What did I learn about other people?

What did I learn about myself?

Focus on the solution, not the problem.

Connect with someone else and process it with them.When you suffer alone it can last longer

When you share it with others it can help you heal faster.TALK TO PEOPLE WHO CARE NOT (AVOID TOXIC PEOPLE)

Create Allies

Consider joining a volunteer programWhen you start giving back to others it can help you heal.You’ll be around other people who care about helping

Maintain your disciple to continue your obligations (Keep your other commitments)You’re in a bad mood so now you quit all the other HABITS.

This can put you into a deeper state of sadness or depression

It’s even more crucial to maintain the other obligations in your life.

#52. The FGC is Not Dead, Here’s Why

In the wake of all the controversy within the FGC, there are many claiming that the FGC is dead or on its last legs. When I first heard this I thought it was a ridiculous claim that didn’t require a response. After hearing this repeated several times even seeping into my FGC I believe it’s worth actually talking about why the FGC is NOT dead. 

The main topic starts @18:40

Intro Topics

Catching up with Megamaxstar

Our thoughts on Valorant

Last of Us 2 VA and creative director Harassed

 

Reasons why the FGC is not dead

A quick rundown of what happening in the FGC

Our Thoughts on the situation

Why do people believe this?

Locals and communities are what make the FGC, not majors

The future of Majors and other tournaments

The FGC has been around for a long time and technology is better than ever.

Organizing is easier than it ever has been.

What can you do for the FGC?

Online tournaments are also a thing during the quarantine.

We have better technology to connect

If there are enough people interested it can grow.

FGCP #51. What Makes A Good Leader?

During our current climate I thought it would be good to talk about the topic of leadership. I've been seeing a huge lack of leadership and teamwork in our country. Now more than ever as we hit our growing pains it's important we focus on areas such as; teamwork, Harmony, resolution of conflicts, understanding culture, and more.

This topic has been on my mind alot lately. I've been talking about this topic with several members of the KZOO FGC and even other FGC members. How do we grow as players, and/or how do I help other players get better faster? Is there a coaching style that is the best? What exercises should players do first to build a strong foundation?This area relates to any area of life. For me, it's going to boil down to your mindset. I pick these topics specifically for players struggling with growing. There are several other areas, but I thought these were the most important to start with.

 

How can our community grow as players?

Mindset

Be conscious of your thoughts and emotions

How “bought-in” are you?Sales term for your belief system

Don’t waste time complaining

Ask questions from ANYONE in the FGC

Don’t let your Ego get in the way of you improving
