Hit by another awesomely long combo again eh? well if it is anything like last time you may have found yourself saying the same thing from the list of 4 from before. So without any hesitation, lets hop right into the lessons for I have been to work and back and have come up with some more advice to turn your beginnerness into winnerness ( not guaranteed but I promise I'll try).

Lesson 1
Making Potatoes & Churning Butter
Remember as a child when you would play a fighting game, you would just be pressing the buttons REALLY hard and fast?....No?.. just me? well any way let me be the first to tell you mashing buttons does not teach you how to play Skull...well any game, take the time to learn button inputs and fiddle around with your button layouts so that you feel comfortable playing. This applies to inputting 360,240, 123 or any circular motion with the analog. Spinning it round and round will get you Cerebella's ShowStopper (eventually), but it may give you Diamond Drop and that's not what you inputted.

Lesson 2
Fetal Position Only Equals Back Pain
The Spine is straight for a reason peapolls. When your character starts getting beat up, do not just mentally,physically, and spiritually quit. Evaluate what caused this lost, it may be the controller, it may be lag, heck it could've been a person walking pass the screen either way before giving up on the game understand some days will be rainy, and $300 copay is not something you wanna pay when you go to get the Spine looked at. Now on fixing the problem... not sure the problems above can be helped, but never just quit something.

Lesson 3
Hulk on Hatred Install
We all rage believe me we all activate our LV 3(well LV 2 now) Hatred Install. To prevent rage from seeping into the real world and causing you or someone potential harm, here is a little list of things you can do to prevent rage.

1. Breathe in from your nose (using your diaphragm not your chest) and out through your mouth.
2. While breathing try singing a song with a relaxing soothing sound (for me it's Rosie by Bill Withers).
3.Make yourself laugh, laughter more than often distracts our mind from our rambunctious lives
4. Do not let it all out, but don't keep it bottled, find a creative outlet to put all this rage into (you may even find a new hobby).
5.Do not get frustrated that you can not calm down, people get angrier than some and some calm down easier than others, just allow yourself to calm down at your pace because in the end it's your anger not someone else's.

Lesson 4
Proper Team Planning
So you want to run Squigly, Cerebella, and Peacock(I call them Team Class Act), but you just pick them in any order and with any assist...STOP right now STOP, this is a bad set up. understand that set up is everything. While I haven't played Ms. Continello yet(it hurts me so) her assists work well with a team consisting of Cerebella and Peacock compliments Squigly so with this in mind I would set up Cerebella as Lead and Peacock as Anchor. Learn the strength and weaknesses of the characters, what assist compliments your play style, and what order to put your characters in.

Lesson 5
Telegraphing is a Bad Way to Communicate
You throw the first time..Whiff..You throw the second time...Whiff... me as a player would only assume your attempting to throw so at this point I'm ready to tech it. If a move does not work at first, do not keep attempting it, because now I'm ready to defend against.

Pep Talk Chan Says
You could us telegraphing as a means to trick the opponent into preparing for the wrong move. Grooming your opponent will keep them always guessing.

Lesson 6
Learn the Language
When you visit a Spanish speaking country, you'll find that it becomes easier to understand what people are talking about when you learn the language. Well the same goes for fighting games. Learning the terms for fighting game will make the learning experience way more easier. It also makes it easier for you to understand what people are talking about when they discuss fighting games. There is a wiki for fighting game terms if I remember correct, so read up my young ones.

Well that's all for today, hoped this help, if not, until next time when I write M4B: I Played Squigly Editon featuring more Pep Talk Chan than PKSToopkid (maybe?).

M4B III will be the last in my Motivation Series and will come out sometime after Squigly's console release so be on the look out for that.
