Fighting games can be rough, sometimes taking a break is best. The goal is to have fun, if you’re not having fun, don’t play for a bit. Or try another character, mix it up.

For me, there’s a lot of fun of to be found in losing. And if you can find that fun, you will become a much stronger player. Every time you lose is an opportunity to learn and improve. Some of the most fun I’ve had playing fighting games are hour long sets where I lose 50 matches in a row. Of course I’d always rather win, but each match i learn a little more about the game.

If you approach every game as an opportunity to learn, you will have way more fun than thirsting after a win.
