Winning comes from not trying to win, as contradictory as that sounds what you said is exactly what leads to winning.

@adrunkhalfbreed Can we play tomorrow?
I think a better way of putting it is winning is more of a side effect of lots of effective practice than just having a desire to win.
…let me explain.
The desire to win on its own is not going too grant you victory. Putting in measures that lead to winning like adapting, mind games, knowledge of data, will swing things in your favor. A great player is someone who had mastered their data and mastered adaptation.
Storm knows and labs situations for characters, but he also adapts to “glitches” in the system on the fly. @oTigerSpirit is capable of that.

Fair enough. It’s hard to see it how you fellas do since I never really acclimated to a tournament environment. Though, I see it different with Storm and myself.
I guess when I say insult it is because we have played a few times and his character more than others have a stressful effect on me. That effect causes me to freak out and lose the focus that I have tried to tame throughout the years.
Other characters I understand more, but even so Hisako is particularly unique from other characters that it takes time getting used to a really good one. I’m ranting here… point is, it’s one of my worst matchup and against someone as skilled as Storm makes it unwinnable, consider it a mental barrier.
But… the answers lies in the heart of battle, so I don’t fight to win as much as I fight to learn.
That was so corny lol
This use to happen with me. You should play storm more often. 
we as ppl get scared of adverse results that we feel like we can’t control. Storms hisako has an effect on you mentally (which it should cause it’s a grapple character). You just need to know how too fight a grapple character (run away and pressure hisako on YOUR TERMS). If you really feel that bad ask him for a set after the tournament match.

I have 45 minutes before I have to leave so I can hopin right now (it’s 12:15 Central). Otherwise, how about 10-11:00 Central tomorrow?
Edit: also, no need to worry about it. We’re trying to find a time to play a video game tournament… lol. I’m not going to be upset if you find better stuff to do. Just let me know so I’m not sitting around.
I’m leaving here at 2:00 Eastern to take my PA speakers down to my buddies house. His daughter invited me as a surprise for his 40th birthday because I’m fun. 
We could use a drummer.
Ok I’m ready if you are!
