I feel your pain, brother.

Dude, happens to me too sometimes. I realize that once I've totally adapted to online play timing and lag, I can't seem to do good offline. Then, once I get my timing back from offline, it takes me a while to get my online lag timing. Very frustrating.

Like what the fuck you know. So I think i'm getting a tad bit better as time goes on, but I just have these stumps where I suck. See, this guy totally owns me with Reptile on the 1st round. 2nd and 3rd round I totally dominate and body the dude and then he ragequits. :D

I don't know why, I just have these moments where I can't do anything.

It happens.


The latest patch did change quite a few things though, it could be that. Scrubs are most dangerous if you play against them immediately after you played someone very skilled, your mind just isn't ready for such a change.

The other day I spent some time in the practice mode and then immediately hit the online and got a laggy match right away, I couldn't do the most basic stuff.

I've been trying to play a bit more with Sindel now that she's been buffed, but I'm still losing most of my Sindel matches unfortunately.

Stop playing the game for like an hour or so. Then come back to it. It's the onl cure.

What happens is you get frustrated and then you can't stay calm and calculated during the matches.

Yes, I would take a break from it for a bit, like Zero said. I'm actually doing that now, I'm going to take a couple days off from playing MK maybe a week because I have a big test coming up,, gonna play some SR2 and Infamous, I hit a slump recently too.

Online really throws everything off and the lag doesn't benefit people who actually learned the characters, it only benefits people who do the same moves. I was playing the other day with Sonya, kept dropping all her combos, even the easy ones and almost lost to this Scorpion player because of it.

But yeah, I would just take a break from it for a while and come back to it with fresh eyes, that usually helps.

Same thing happens to me man, sometimes I'm just in a rut with the game. Like people i would normally DESTROY online fuckin whoop me. And its not just lag sometimes, like ill just constantly guess wrong and eat a combo or something. And of course whenever this happens my opponent who normally ive met for the first time (playing ranked) will tea bag me for as long as he can. Its really fuckin frustrating and I'd say most of the time its due to lack of sleep, like ive just stayed up way to late and im making simple mistakes. So yeah i just take a break from the game or go to bed.

And i do have a lot of games where i get whooped the first round and then its like i kinda wake up and win the next two lol. Its weird but when your games off its off and it just takes a little time for things to come back.
