You can't just simply decide to be a pro gamer, then put in the time and become one. If it was that simple, then there'd be a LOT more pro gamers. There'd be a LOT more pro athletes. Less than 2% of the US population will become a professional athlete, in any sport. It's probably a similar percentage to become a pro gamer. Like Panda mentioned, there are a shitload of gamers that pour in hundreds or thousands of hours into a game, but aren't even close to being a pro level. The whole notion of "practice makes perfect" is not true. It's HOW you practice. https://golfgym.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/bruce-lee-kicks-quote.jpg I don't play the games you guys are talking about, but I can talk about one game without dispute: Dead or Alive 5 When I was first learning the game, I'd run into pro players online, and as expected they'd absolutely destroy me. I remember the first time I played Rikuto (universally considered the best Bayman player in the world) and after being thrashed a few games, I thought to myself "holy fuck, I can't even TOUCH him." And I don't mean touch figuratively on a skill level, I mean literally TOUCH him in the game, like with a punch or kick. At that time I thought I was big shit because I was a high rank and could routinely beat other players online, even highly ranked players. He put me in my place. But he also changed the way I looked at the game. I think this is the difference between pouring countless hours into a game and still languishing at a mediocre level, and truly understanding a game and elevating your play. I was able to add him and other pro Dead or Alive players to my friends list, including Shin_Ryuji, who at the time was considered the best Jann Lee player in the US, and SweetRevenge, who is considered one of the best (if not the best) Gen Fu players in the world. I played them as often as I could, taking my bruises, and picking their brains. Through talking to them about the meta of the mechanics, and just playing them, I myself changed as a player. One of the principle differences between an average player and a great player is frame data. This applies to all 3d fighters, such as Tekken and Virtua Fighter. If you don't know and understand frame data (most don't) and you play someone that does comfortably (I do) then you will lose. You will lose, and you will lose often. I played someone from this site 50 games. He won 3 rounds total. Not 3 games out of 50... 3 ROUNDS. It takes 3 things to truly be good at a game. 1. practice 2. knowledge 3. mental capacity Sticking with Dead or Alive... If I ask another player what to do after I do 1KK2P and their answer is to counter with a fast strike, you are wrong. Not only are you wrong, you will now be eating a counter hit from me 100% of the time. It's infallible because it's mathematics. Once the 2P hits you, you are now at -6 frames... the FASTEST strike in the game is a standard jab, which requires 10 frames to execute... if I use a 15 frame attack or less, such as 6K (15 frames) or 66P (14 frames), I will counter hit you EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. Can anyone figure out why? It's just math. However, if you know the frame data, you'd know to block or sidestep in that situation instead. You'd know that you essentially HAVE to block or play some form of DEFENSE... not offense. Now picture playing someone that applies those same principles of mathematics in the entire game, with every attack... and you might start to understand the difference between top players and average players. You can play 30000 games, but if all you've done is practice combos and are oblivious to frame data, you will consistently lose to a top player that has played it a fraction as much as you. The amount of time you practice doesn't matter if you don't know what to practice.

It goes both ways, really. Long distance relationships usually consists of state to state or overseas which more likely result a failed relationship in the end. However, a long distance relationship in a same state but different city are usually successful if there were to be a compatibility. Even being compatible while in a state to state or overseas relationship can still end up in failure.

Pleny of girls hardly give a shit about that. If one is bothered by you having a few extra pounds, ditch em. This goes both ways mind you but that's how it is. If you are that concerned, work on it. Improve yourself. Don't have another person be your motivation alone. Work for yourself too. Love yourself.

Hey everybody, give a shout out if you're in the St Louis metro area preferably Edwardsville, Granite City, Alton area. Thanks

Probably super late on this but oh well who cares! Microtransactions are not inherently bad but companies like EA are starting to really take the absolute piss with them now, especially after the Star Wars Battlefront 2 debacle which was a complete and utter shit show of pay to win crap. Coercing players to buy them by forcing them into a grind most definitely does not help whatsoever. Heck even loot boxes are an issue for me, since you're basically gambling away money and hoping you get the item you want but you end up getting trash dupes over and over - it's utter shit, Overwatch is certainly no different. Buying a game for full price is more than enough money but trying to squeeze limitless amount of cash out of everyone is just too much, that's why I avoid almost every AAA release nowadays because I refuse to support trash business like that. I blame idiot gamers for blowing massive amounts of cash on Fifa and Madden cards, those dumbasses ended up ruining the AAA scene for everyone else and the apologists who refuse to take a glance at EA's initial sales earnings (which are extremly fucking high) make it even worse. If companies are going to have them in their games then they should make them purely cosmetic fluff that makes my character look dope as hell and nothing else but I want them let me buy what I want in an honest transaction where I know what I'm getting. That's the extent I'll allow, any further than that and they'll never get my money - I'll never let filth like EA and Activision get my money for being total cunts to every one of their customers. Yeah I'm a little too passionate about this hobby.
