    its why RTS games have less toxic communities relatively speaking. the fact that its more often played 1v1 and has a very high technical skill requirement floor, it becomes. obvious when one person gets outplayed

    I prefer to not play team games because I don’t want someone else to be the reason I lose.

      That’s the wrong mentally for team games. You’re supposed to be the reason your team loses, and then do elaborate mental gymnastics to explain how it was actually another player’s fault.

    He has the right idea, but the wrong reasons. Among my friends there is a pretty clear pecking order in our fighting game skills, generally with 1v1s producing the same results. When we play team games like smash, we can cheer for each other and find some success to celebrate collectively. Instead of everyone feeling bad that Dave destroyed us again. Fuck you, Dave.

      And if you all play fighting games the same amount everyone gets better so Dave still kicks everyones ass. Fuck sake Dave!

      Feels good that I am not the only one who has this issue.

    Among my friends growing up, nobody would even play fighting games with me because I would always beat them. Savagely. Like double cherry with Dan styling on them.

    And then compared to people who regularly play them when they started being online, I still fucking suck dick. 😩

      Nothing quite like the feeling of being top of your friend group, then meeting the competition at a local tournament lol …

      Edit: every group needs a Dave, we’re just scrubs that need to git gud ❤️

        Did that in racing games. Every single race, mega dominant, went online, mega dominant, went into a youtube discord and immediately got trashed by people who could actually race and weren’t just relying on everyone else being too shit to win.
