When it comes to fighting games, I'm one of those weird guys that pretty much plays them only in single-player.
I simply don't have the time, nor patience, to practice these games on a regular basis, to a point where I can go online, and beat someone.
Anyway, so I launch Street Fighter V, and I see I have until October 1st to win 5 ranked matches, and 5 casual matches, in order to unlock some colours for Ryu's latest skin.
I'm sick, with a terrible headache, feeling unwell from something I ate yesterday, and I barely slept. I can barely open my eyes.
On top of that, I recently bought an Xbox One controller, and I hate the thing. I can't even pull the most basic moves in the analogue stick (like a shoryuken), and I don't have enough bad words to say about the D-Pad. I stopped using an Xbox 360 controller, one I mostly liked in terms of feel, but the controller was pretty much broken, with bad drifting in the analogue sticks (the characters kept moving without me doing anything), and the buttons and triggers kept failing, for this one. I don't know what's worse, the old controller, or the new one (in more than one occasion, I actually grabbed the old, almost non-functional controller, to play games).
Anyway, with all of this, I go online, thinking about trying to win a match (with Ryu, a character I never use) to help me in my goal to reach 5 wins in one of the modes to unlock those colours.
I played 13 matches, won 11, lost 2 (with the losses by a very small margin). 5 wins in 6 matches in ranked (for the first time I was upgraded to a higher ranking, and I reached the achievement for 10 wins in ranked matches), and 6 wins in 7 matches in casual.
Unbelievable!
Really, I'm not overstating how "slow" I am due to feeling unwell, and barely sleeping, and I spent most of the matches attempting to pull special moves, and failing (like a simple shoryuken; if I was able to do so, at least one of the two losses wouldn't have happened).
The only possible conclusion is that every person that was playing an hour or so ago was drunk, or with a massive hangover from the previous night, to lose against me, in these conditions.
