The mind games that are played are pointless IMO...you want to get in a fighter's head? Well if you don't do it right you COULD get them completely focused, you COULD reveal your own gameplan and they'll just be ready for that and use it against you, you COULD inspire your foe to victory with bulletin board material.


My point is that talking so much shit it reaches a point of diminishing returns...it is not exciting as a fan when 100% of everyone is all "I'm going to kill that guy!", yes yes we know, everyone else says that shit too the winners AND the losers.
I’m just not into most talking anymore because it’s so fabricated. I feel that most people talk a ton of trash and then lose and contratulate their opponents and act like friends. If you like each other then you don’t have to talk trash. If you really hate each other then it’s entertaining.
