I'd take it more as a learning experience than anything else. Just like when JCA won NEC, not only was I happy, but watching him helped me learn about other approaches to my character.
I haven't had this happen to me with my character (Nyo), but I think I can understand how that would feel. What I would do is use it as motivation to improve as that character, so that one day you can win.
While it does help as a bit of motivation, it kind of shadows how much I've actually improved as a player. I've yet to even attend a proper major. Then again he's a better player in general.
Hey its not your fault.... you're a busy guy (I'm assuming).
Sometimes getting better requires you to travel and play against as many Great Player's as possible..... if you can attend more Tournies and sample more Skills from other players you will dominate.
I believe the correct term would be "broke" Lulu lol. I will continue to become better as time progresses of course. But I will never triumph in DOA5 I need to "git gud" when DOA6 comes out. That's my goal.
