That Guy 1.5


My New IC Card for Sagat! (Arcade BP Ranking Card)

This is my quick update to my main page post on www.AllisFighter.Com, sort of a supplement to tell you something about those friends that you have, the ones not in your head, that are a negative influence and why it is so.

The walking personification of "that guy" is known in the rap world as the "hater."  A hater is anybody in your life that disrespects what you want to do and downplays your success.  We've all had a "friend" like this at some point, and my advice to you is that you're better off without him.  You might think that this guy is a good influence on your life because this type of person keeps you grounded in reality, I say... why stay "grounded" when it's better to FLY?  The sad part is, that even if you disregard what this friend says as nonsense, it gets to you on some level.  The human mind keeps a lot of stuff in the subconscious.  Personally, I'd rather not have a negative outside influence that can affect me even .001%.  Do you really think Edison kept haters in his life?  "Oh Thomas you will never make the lightbulb, you've failed 100s of times."  Probably not, he never gave up and today we have harnessed electricity and all the wonderful things it brings.

If you look at the life of a hater, you realize they never get anywhere with their own happiness.  They only seem to be having a good time when bringing you down, why is that?  Well, fundamentally I believe a hater is somebody who starts off wanting good things in life and wanting to achieve his goals, though when that doesn't happen he starts disrespecting those around him that do achive or do have goals.  The old saying goes 'misery loves company' and these guys are some of the most miserable of all.

Some do make a career of being a hater, some critics fall into this category.  Of course it is good to have them so that we know that "Street Fighter:  The Legend of Chun Li" is an even bigger shitbomb than "Street Fighter: The Movie" and can avoid watching it, but why do these people become critics in the first place?  Can they not "hack it" directing their own films?  Maybe, maybe not... how can we know without judging their creations?

The TL;DR of this article can basically be summed up in this quote from composer Jean Sibelius: "Never pay any attention to what critics say…Remember, a statue has never been set up in honour of a critic!"

Good luck.

  1. That explains the fighting game community as a whole. They restrict you with worthless common values more than they do help you.

    Good thinking. I let off my worthless friend of many years as he is way too inferior to me in just about anything (even his trademark Virgo sarcasm) and he knows it hahaha.
