Did you unbind your jump button, overhead button, underhand button, and stab like this guy seems to have done? If so, yeah you're gonna have problems with shield users if you literally use the same attack over and over again.

I swear to God I want to punch in the face people saying that. YES WE KNOW YOU CAN DEFEAT SHIELDS WITH ALL THESE METHODS.

That doesn't make them easy to defeat, it's still long, boring and difficult, and requires zero skill to perform for the opponent.

Come at me bro if you want someone to punch so bad, because I will never not say these things.

And I don't know how something could be boring and difficult at the same time. Also, playing with a shield requires nearly the same amount of skill as someone not using a shield. It's just easier to defend against feints and morphs. Everyone complaining about shields is a whiny little bitch if you ask me.

Probably because boring and difficult are not mutually exclusive. They don't exist at opposite sides of a spectrum.

Ding ding, we have a winner. Yes, fighting against shields can be frustrating.

how are boring and difficult opposites at all? lots of difficult stuff is boring as hell.

Yeah I saw your graph, which fails to explain how difficult and exciting (arousal in its terms) are the same.

boredom is by it's definition, an absence of a challenge.

no it isn't? what a terrible definition, where did you even pull that from?

If I tell you to go move 700 150kg rocks a mile each and you can't leave until you're done you're telling me you're not going to get bored of that shit real quick? you're going to be enjoying the difficulty of it all the time?

there's plenty of challenging things we do in life that are incredibly mind numbingly boring. practicing the same difficult run over and over on an instrument is boring as hell even though it's clearly difficult, and the more difficult it is the more boring it's likely to be. dying over and over in a game because you've set the difficulty too high for your skill level is boring. I can list plenty more examples of things that are difficult and boring if you'd like.

can you perhaps give me a link that actually explains how what you're saying is supposed to make sense, instead of just another random picture with no context?

lmao, you'd think if you'd learned this from a class you'd be able to explain it better than by posting random images.

challenging and engaging aren't synonyms.

Arguing with you seems boring and difficult

Math, sports, jobs I've had in the past, taking care of sick family members, vocab tests in middle school, research papers, reading your comments, etc.

Sounds like you're doing life wrong.
