Ranga's Blogs

Howdy how's it going Ranga here Yeah so I actually almost quit fighting games the other day, and I'd like to just briefly talk about kind of why that was and kind of what caused it turns out it was something completely different that was causing the issue So my medicine was off which was causing me to have like really really bad like mood swings like I ended up breaking my $200 streaming headset because I lost around the Guilty Gear and I thought it was guilty here and I thought guilty here was just a bad influence on my mental until I went to my doctor and my doctor was telling me it was like my medication and that like I just need to not take it for like 2 weeks to like reset my body that way I can stop having like all the crazy mood swings and stuff but yeah I like almost fully quit Guilty Gear because I was like oh this is terrible for my mental because like there was no reason to throw a headset over losing ground in the fighting game you know what I'm sayi...

Howdy, how is everyone doing? These are meant to be daily, but they haven't been, so whatever. The past few days I've been playing Guilty Gear, but I'm at a bit of a wall where I keep running into the issue of feeling like I'm fighting my controller instead of my opponent.

As you know, I got back into Guilty Gear and started playing Giovanna because she was fun. I had a coaching session with Nitro that taught me how to play her pretty well. I kept playing Gio for another couple of weeks, but started struggling against certain characters. It felt like I wasn’t losing to the player; I was losing to the character, which was really frustrating. So, as a joke, I decided to play Ky. I hate Ky, but I wanted to prove I wasn’t that trash at the game. I took him into training mode, looked at his moves, and immediately did my placements without practicing a block string or anything. My placement was terrible, but Ky felt annoyingly natural to play. He worked how my brain wanted to work, so I kept playing him and reached Silver 3. I then had a coaching session with a B...
