I’m just now reading this thread and although you can find a bunch of “top” players saying ranked is toxic and you develop bad habits, I’ve always thought to each their own, and that there was indeed value in ranked. Of course there’s value in Exhibition and doing longer sets with unfamiliar matchups or players who’re better than you, but you can’t deny that working on your ability to adapt on the fly to a variety of characters and playstyles is valuable.

Months and months later, here you are, proving that all elements of training (including ranked) paid off well for you as you had an incredible run at KIWC, placing 2nd!

So in essence, I’m glad to hear a top player vouching for ranked!

I dislike when players think of themselves as “free.” I dislike talking about myself too…Call it being uplifting or whatever, but being free is a state of mind.

Im nowhere near KIWC level of talent myself. But any and every time i play a set or go into ranked, no matter who, im looking to kill and pick them apart.

I used to think like that before myself, being free. It changed the day i went and made a chart of the top 25 players with each of the available characters at the time. I was #3 out of all Kim Wu far as number of wins. But dead last as far as win percentage out of some 600 or so players. I changed that very day.

I spent last month between rank 100 and 200 which was a improvement. i can do better. Plan to do better. So can you.

I hear what you’re saying.

You don’t HAVE to Grind 30 nights
Lol

But there is no way of knowing, so Grinding 30 increases my chances lol

There is. Keep watch of who is in top 32. Whenever you cone across someone who is. PAY ATTENTION TO HOW THEY PLAY. Once you guage your opponents in short order you’ll find it easy to pull wins in ranked.

Ranked help me not focus on winning THE MATCH, but it helped me winning matchups and most importantly AGAINST PLAYERS. You must always go into ranked believing you’ll win every match you head into and grinding for 30 days works for some, and doesn’t work for others. There’s a difference between playing a lot and playing when it counts.

If you lose, “Think on it but don’t DWELL on it” (charbok told me that at KIWC) and it stuck with me. I could have lost every time in ranked but my mind set was the same. My mind set being (this is just a video game, but what can i do to perform better at this game at this EXACT MOMENT).

That juicebox video really helped me pick apart how i play. The best thing i did during my week long grind was go into replay mode and watch my losses, then see the same opponent and beat them numerous times in short order :yum:

The bumper right? Lol if it was an elite, good luck. Finding the right replacement is torture.

Yup. It got stuck and snapped on me. I was using Shisako and used heavy punch a lot.

You bind a heavy punch to a bumper? I usually bind macros to mine; 3k and 3p to left and right bumper respectively.

Dang. I feel your pain dude. I’m still searching for a replacement. I found one but it didn’t fit. The elites demesions are slightly different. I might just glue it back together or use putty to strengthen the bind.
