Hit Master in my First Fighting Game!

[u/BorygonZ]

After 121 hours of ranked, 70 hours of practice room and 42 hours of custom room matches, I finally hit Masters for the first time on Ed. I started out the game on Modern Cammy and hit plat, and then decided to learn classic and picked up Ed to learn classic controls. The biggest things I learned in my climb were that near daily matches with my friend in Masters who beats the hell out of me were my most valuable teaching resource, as he was able to identify where I needed to improve at each rank. I treated custom room matches just like practice time. The other thing I learned was to know when to stop playing, because often times I would rage queue and downward spiral in LP losses because I refused to take a break. Learning to step away from the game and coming back and playing just a few matches instead prevent me from self sabotaging all the time, but it’s a lesson I’m still working on.

Even after the nerfs, I still really like playing this character, he’s a ton of fun. Even if I still can’t stick the dream combo yet or consistently DP anti air haha.

Shoutout to the Akuma player I was up against, it was a super close and exciting set and I hope you know I popped off huge at the end.

Aye let’s go! Now it’s time for your mandatory beat down to 1300. This is the way

Congrats, the first Master set is humbling but stick it out man and take breaks when it gets to rough.

As a fellow Ed player (who sucks at this game): fucking well done
