Top Comments of this video!! :3
There's also a bit of this that applies to any skill endeavor.
The more you learn, the more you realize that the thing that was "good" when you're a beginner is no longer good. Now to improve you have to "level up" and try new things against stronger competition.
Of course you lose more when you try and adjust your old habits. Part of the process of getting better. Great video Brian.

In the last month, I went from Bronze IV to Platinum after just randomly deciding to do ranked with Juri after watching Nephew play her. There was a lot of losses on the way and thereâs lots of losses now as I try to climb to higher ranks, but the knowledge I gained from those losses have helped me a lot.

I'm fairly new to FGC but been doing other games (some competitively) since the 90s. And I've always told others based on my own experiences that the best way to learn a new technique, keymapping, or skill is you need to just jump into the fire and go up against other real players.
And you WILL fail and suck for a week or two. But your improvement will improve light years beyond just practicing in a lab or against the cpu. There is just something in our brains that creates more urgency when up against a real opponent and THAT is where I've found the real learning and muscle memory happens.
So I definitely agree with this video. Don't ever get down on yourself when losing while learning something new. Expect it, embrace it.

I was steadily going up and hit Platinum 5 with Cammy. I immediately went on a losing streak that lasted WEEKS and I dipped all the way back to Gold 5 eventually. I've never been great at fighting games, but this year i've really put in the effort to analyze and improve my gameplay. Going from a 58% win streak down to 33% is just demoralizing so at that point I just accepted that I am terrible at fighting games and took a long possibly indefinite break.
With that said, this video is EXACTLY what I needed to get my head back into the right mindset.

I'm currently in the exact same situation and it's frustrating as hell. I finally reached Diamond 2 rank and was cruising away quite smoothly in my ranked matches, then suddenly it felt like everyone just started seeing through everything I was doing. I dropped from Diamond 2 allll the way back down to Platinum 5! I even achieved my greatest losing streak of 15 losses in a row. It's like all of a sudden all of my opponents just started doing all the right things and every time I made the smallest mistake, I got punished to hell for it. By the way, I'm an A.K.I. main for some context. Also, this whole uprising of Ryus lately is partly responsible for my downfall. I've been losing to Ryu almost every time I meet him in ranked. I'm developing PTSD over here. đľâđŤ

Brian just said "here's what makes improving difficult, and here's how you'll feel, and here's why you'll feel that way, and here's exactly how you'll mess up, and here's what you'll tell yourself when you mess up, and here's how you overcome that, and here's the difficulty you'll face overcoming that, and here's how you'll slowly keep improving, and here's..." and he lists every single thought that goes through my head as I play as if he knows me personally (he does not). He explains the entire improvement process in plain English and with psychic accuracy, and he does it all in a single 20 minute video.
Guy's killing it. I can't help but like all of these videos. Very informative and helpful!

Coming from Tekken, and really going through it in ranked these last few weeks, I needed this. Gaining new skills not getting things right in game, feeling like im getting worse while i see my friends that arent putting in that effort get by without it has been tough, but this has helped me keep the faith and trust that it will pay off. So thank you

Another useful tip: GIVE UP AND GO TO SLEEP.
Seriously. Thereâs real science behind this. Your brain consolidates, organizes, and settles in the memories youâve made and connections youâve attempted to form throughout the day when you rest. This especially happens during sleep, but it even happens when you take a break from the task and move on to something else.
If youâve ever spent all day practicing a combo that just wasnât clicking, then tried again the next morning and suddenly youâre magically nailing it consistently, thatâs exactly what happened; your brain consolidated all of those repetitions and saved it into your muscle memory while you were sleeping.
So if youâre getting frustrated, take a break and give your brain the space it needs to settle in that muscle memory youâve been beating into it. Your brain is still training after the fact, even when youâve stopped :)
