Well sure I thought that goes without saying. I'm pretty sure nobody who wants to get better is going to play like that. In the harder games it seems pretty obvious to me that you can't get through it without some serious planning. The patterns will literally not even let you survive if you're in the wrong position at all.Bananamatic wrote:if you do random stuff several hundred times, you'll be doing random stuff until the world ends because it's near impossible to come to any conclusion with a billion things you randomly did once without giving it any thoughtardiel wrote:Sure, maybe for the first few times you play. After a few hundred or few thousand times it's really not random stuff anymore. Probably wrong stuff if you don't try to improve it, but not random stuff.
you need to actively think about what you want to achieve, how to get to the goal, understand what you need to do and why you're doing it and not something else and suddenly even just getting a 1cc becomes infinitely easier to achieve (or possible to achieve in the first place)
it's like playing fighting games with your friends when you were kids, just jumping in at each other and attacking without giving it any thought
you could play for years like that and someone who's been playing for a week would beat you all day just by understanding the basics to playing well and you'll never understand why you're losing unless you think about why it's happening and how to prevent it
Edit:
Also it's not the same as playing fighting games with your friend. In the case of shumps the game itself is the opponent. You're not allowed to think you're doing well like you are when you're playing a fighter vs. another noob. Mistakes don't go unpunished.
