Stopped using shields in smash once time just to assert dominance. Got my ass handed to me instead.

That’s how my first fight with Psycho Mantis went. I didn’t know about the trick until my friend made fun of me for not knowing about it. Then he started laughing bc he didn’t know you could beat Mantis without the trick. Just be stubborn and don’t do combos. Single punch him🤘.

Me playing Dark Souls 2 simply not engaging with any mechanic after half of the game bc i wanted to beat that shit as fast as possible to end the torture

Me with every new pokemon battle mechanic

I found out right before the final boss of spiderman ps4 that they were upgrade points for your abilities 😅

When after hundreds of hours of playing games that only want me to dodge or parry, a game wants to force me to use block instead. I'll naturally hit evade and still take damage, forgetting I needed to actually block.

i will never learn to predict enemy attacks. either i tank the hit or i don’t thank you

Me with guard points in monster hunter

Me with almost every blocking mechanic ever. I will make up for it with pure aggression.
