Dealing with salt
By <0°C
So you play ranked, do your best to set your expectations to "non-existent", spend 30 hours per day in the lab only to play against actual opponents for 1 hour, and then you still get your ass kicked.

You are angry and fight this urge to punch your desk, to insult your opponent, or just refuse a revenge match and kick someone else's ass (joke's on you, yours gets purple from all the beating). You are now really furious. You leave a comment on your opponent's profile telling them that you had an intimate moment with their mother yesterday and that you wish them to cease living as soon as possible, describing the way their bodily functions slowly stop in a very graphic way.

In other words, too much salt has piled up and you cannot handle it.

Worry not. I got your back.

Manipulation of salt
Sodium chloride (chemical formula: NaCl) belongs in the kitchen. Too much of it in the human body (about 3 grams per kg of body weight) will in almost all cases kill.

It is usually found in form of small white particles of coarse powder. It is easily soluble in water; the water's temperature is a negligible factor when accounting for its solubility, meaning that both hot- and cold-tempered players accumulate salt in equal quantities.

That's true. We all are affected by salt. Especially the calmest of us. The challenge is not to get not salty, but to find a way to release it in a way which does the least harm to us, our surroundings and other people. Letting it pile up will only lead to further complications.

Below is an image of a person who found a way to healthily release all of their salt through their nose and mouth:

How to release salt?
Anything that allows a person to express anger is a way of releasing salt. Insulting the other player (regardless if they won or lost against them), making false statements about having an intimate relationship with someone's mother, throwing tantrums/controllers through the window or rematching until one gets a single win, then killing the game are some ways of reducing salt concentration in the body. However, this pattern of behaviour does not break the cycle of salt accumulation - the salt one got rid of will inevitably find its way back into the host's body.


The proper way of releasing salt is a secret each one of us must discover on their own. Having an interest (preferably one that can be practiced in solitude) other than Tekken is one example. Instead of fantasizing about engaging in physical love with a 60-70 year old lady, it is preferable to go for a jog or lift weights.
That way, one's chances of actually getting laid with an opponent's mother grow tremendously due to one's physical prowess and attractivity going up as well (not to mention the intercourse itself lasting longer due to enhanced endurance). Increased physical strength will also allow a salty player to unleash their anger in a more meaningful, tangible way by going out of their room, beating the crap out of their parents, then going out to their neighborhood and proclaim themselves the King of the Place They Live In at the Moment.

Or, alternatively, one could simply fantasize about engaging in bodily delights with anyone but an elderly woman, like one of the female characters in Tekken (for example, Panda).

TL;DR Acknowledge your feelings and act on them in a way which actually benefits you instead of causing harm and misery to everyone, including you. Did I mention you are a scrub? Because you totally are. When was the last time you left the basement to do your groceries? Obviously you haven't done this for the last year, otherwise you would have noticed that your sister started dating me. She wants to move out of the house and live with me in my mansion, playing Tekken until she reaches God Omega rank, just so she can humiliate you for being such a tryhard. Just kidding. We will occassionally visit you - just make sure you unlock the door when you see a Lamborghini at your parents' driveway.

you missed that most salt contains trace amounts of anticaking agents such as sodium aluminosilicate or magnesium carbonate but continue

you must learn to love all aspects of tekken, especially salt. once you learn this, you might be a little bit closer to becoming an enlightened tekken being. the trick to getting rid of salt is to give it back to your opponent, if you're able to out think them through all of your own salt. good luck. this can take years of developing.
