I generally don't get like that for most things unless I feel like I've been cheated or should have done better. I'm a very competitive person though, so there's always a risk of salt xD

Because of my autism, I usually get pretty upset. It's worse when it's something doesn't go as I planned it would. My brain will usually predict how a situation should go prior to going IN said situation too. So, if things don't go according to that prediction, I end up melting down. XC I don't really have much control over any of it either, despite what people may think.

As for losing, I do get upset when I lose. I'm not competitive or anything, but I just don't like losing is all.

I have to be really careful when I lose Pokemon battles. Whenever I lose, the level of dissolved salts in my bloodstream spontaneously rises to dangerous levels. Once, I lost a battle I was destined to win thanks to a Sucker Punch crit. I had to be hospitalised because of how salty my blood became.

Usually the salt is only generated after a bad day in Smash

Wow I remember when salty was largely just a term fighting game players used lol

How did this word catch on
I'm not sure how it caught on either. I don't really remember the majority of the internet using the word salty even just a year or two ago and now it's pretty commonplace it seems.

What was the origin of its use in fighting game communities anyway?

I don't hold grudges, but I have discovered that there are once in a while things that people do towards me that I get sooooo salty about that it's not okay 8) maybe that's just my life's way of smoothening out the fact that I most of the time can't stay angry at anyone for very long.

I have been known to feel the salt with competitive games such as Smash, Splatoon, and sometimes Mario Kart.

It's actually a pretty old, but obscure slang. The fighting game community is old, and back then many fighting game players (mainly street fighter) came from urban backgrounds where it was used. It caught on within the FGC since then, and it spread to other competitive games.

I looked it up since I got curious, but apparently the slang likely became widespread because of Smash (has more appeal than any other esport) early this year and people started using it in various social medias, so it caught on.


But uh to answer the topic, yeah I'll keep it traditional - street fighter makes me salty.

Oh I already know that I am not a graceful loser.

How bad it is depends on how I'm already feeling at the time, though. :P Could be anything from mild annoyance to MILD RAGE.

I have a broken hairbrush that can attest to that fact oops

I tend to get really intensely upset because I feel like I failed, or that something worse will happen then what the reality is.
I think it's called catastrophizing, that's what I do.

I'm someone who always goes into outrage or nasty breakdowns if I lose, in fact the words "good sport" don't exist in my vocabulary.

The fact I can't take losses well is evident in my time on the battle server, where if a battle wasn't going in my favour and I knew that it would result in a loss for me no matter what I do, I rage quit and automatically hand the victory to my opponent so I can avoid total humiliation.

I'm pretty chill, and I tend to just keep at it. There's always a next time, and maybe that will go better. It takes a lot for me to get mad over things unless something happens consecutively and I get overwhelmed. It has to build up.

I was born nothing ever going my way. Ah well, you can't always be a freakin' winner, now can we.

I don't care. Life is about losing.

As a child I was a seriously sore loser. I despite losing and would usually chuck a tantrum and get really moody if I ever came second best or lost at something. I'm still as competitive as ever, if not more so now, but I've learned to deal with losing. It's not the end of the world. If I lose fair and square I have no problem. But if I lose because of bs, o boy. I get salty af. Nowadays, while I'm super competitive, I'm pretty indifferent to loss.

I'm pretty chill. When it comes to games and stuff I don't really get all that salty (srsly where has this word come from). I'm more likely to be like 'lol I lost boo'.

I get most salty if I don't get my way because I've perceived someone else to have had an unfair advantage over me. Even if it isn't always true.
