I'm calling it right now, Mewtwo is going to have a custom with an exploding teleport that kills. Two more days and some change everyone until he comes out. I really hope all of his customs are locked. I grinded out all of the special moves in about a week and now I miss the thrill of collecting them again. Lol.

I don't understand how anyone could find grinding for the sake of grinding fun.

I'm...not white at all, really. I'm Mexican/Puertorican/Peruvian/Japanese so my skin is pretty tanned in color.

In college now but so far, my school life has been pretty decent. Not to gloat or anything, but I've never had any issues with bullying. I wouldn't describe myself so much as the loner type as I would "that guy who doesn't really give two ****s what you have to say about him" so people generally just let me be and appreciated my bluntness and indifference to the usual social norms such as gossip (which is lol). I tend to have a self-depreciating humor but don't actually lack in self-esteem. At the moment, school takes a large toll out of day to day life (deciding between astrobiology and vertebrate paleontology) so I don't have the time or care to wonder what people think about me.

My best friend irl is Mexican too. I've known him since high school.

Yeah. It's only fun for the result... but the process of it sucks...
The worst part about grinding with Classic Mode is that you get a new custom. Then you die to some random item-chance bull****.
"Oh, I see you collected a new custom. Would be a shame if a Bob-omb appeared during your smash attack, then a Smash Ball gravitated towards your opponent..."

I can't wait for college life. I'm sick of being stuck in classrooms all day with rowdy students and underpaid(and sometimes under-qualified) teachers who are sick of their terrible jobs.

The only time I've had fun grinding for anything is Customs in Smash 4 because Custom Ganon is the **** :4ganondorf:


Actually, funny thing about customs now that I mention it, I have all but 3 customs for Zelda...
I don't even play Zelda :^)
I got all the customs because I love just to mess around with everything, trying to discover the untapped potential of certain characters.

College isn't any better. You get stuck in a dorm with rowdy drunk kids and teachers who literally don't give two ****s about your academic future as long as you pay tuition...

It's one of those things you can only appreciate after you finished it. Until I got my last custom I hated it, I miss doing Crazy Orders and things of sort.
If anyone played any sort of MMO, Runescape in particular; you will grind you favorite skill to 99. Getting it to 99 requires time and life, you hate it the entire way. However, once you hit the cap you can't go any further. It's upsetting at times.
A job on the other hand, practically never ends with the way society is.

I can only wish my Math teacher didn't care about my academic future, because her ways of "helping" me are incredibly unhelpful.
They have the reverse effect, in fact. Yelling at me doesn't make me focus. It makes me stress out and then get angry.

As if she can tell if I'm focusing...just because I'm not writing doesn't mean I'm not thinking. Most of the time all just accomplishes is breaking my concentration.

My School life has been quite swell too. I was always in the middle class of popularity. People respect us so anytime anyone is getting bullied we just tell them to stop and they'll listen to us. Never had to worry about being picked on.

College is epic man! I'm graduating in less than a month so yeah... A few pointers to keep in mind is that you need to do your school work, good grades determine how much money you can save in the long run. Go out and have fun, there is no shame on waking up on a Saturday morning and not remembering what happened the night before. Lol. It is important to meet all types of people, some of the most epic people you're going to meet is going to be during college, being well rounded helps! It's not always what you know but who you know. Few nuggets of wisdom.

Also Smash tournaments are usually close to college universities!

I'm an American myself, but I'm of Celtic decent. I'm definitely white, but most certainly not to the extremes of BugCatcherWill's post above. I'm pretty generic in that I've got brown hair and blue eyes, though my eyes will look green-ish under certain lighting.

I don't bother with my hair much, so I let it grow out to neck length. It actually starts to curl at the ends when I let it grow that long.

A good portion of the population down where I live is Hispanic(or Mexican, as you'll more commonly hear here), and many of them speak Spanish as their first language. We've got a lot of Native Americans as well. I only know like, one African American person and two Asians(both of which are fellow honors students...stereotypes, much?). But there's enough white people for me not to stick out. Not that it matters much to me, though. I'm generally pretty oblivious to people's skin colors.
You and I live in the minor parts of America where there are non-white folk (I'm of mixed race just for context.) Most of America is predominantly white. So in regards to someone's comment earlier, America does not glorify brown skin.
I'm calling it right now, Mewtwo is going to have a custom with an exploding teleport that kills. Two more days and some change everyone until he comes out. I really hope all of his customs are locked. I grinded out all of the special moves in about a week and now I miss the thrill of collecting them again. Lol.
I really hope he has good customs. And an exploding teleport would be most welcome IMO. But can someone enlighten me on the validity of customs in tournaments? Are they allowed or does it vary? I'd like to know which Mewtwo I'm gonna train with..

You'll have to study more in college. So while you're not in your classroom, you'll be on campus studying for just as long.
And college has their batch of bad can't teach for crap teachers also.

The community is currently divided over customs. Some allow it and some don't.

Customs give a lot more characters chances to have more options, some customs are just straight-up improvements.

That being said, customs turns this game into Super Windbox Brothers, and there's a LOT of bull**** customs that make customs pretty stupid (Example: Killager's Timber Counter, the Dong-Nado, etc.)

*applauds

I'm the same way. Not that you should care, to a healthy extent at least. Here in California I haven't recieved much discrimination, when I do its usually because of my tattoos and body modifications, but I know if I go to a red state I would definitely be looked down on for being not white.

Oh, believe me, I know all about "white privilege" and all that.

Some people may not glorify naturally brown skin, but I know some at least glorify tanned naturally-white skin for some reason. People are weird.

Well, I've got only just one more year of high school between me and college life.

I'm okay with ones who can't teach. I'm could pass an entire class just from reading the textbook if I need to; I've done it. I'm sick of the ones who are at your throats for stupid things, or ones who can't keep their classes under control(which I'm sure one isn't a problem in college).

And some of the teachers here have transcend from bad to terrible to how-did-this-person-ever-get-any-job-ever.
I'm a transfer student, so I got to compare this school directly to another school that's only slightly larger then this one. It had it's fair share of bad teachers, but the ones here are just...they'll hire anyone, I tell you.

You all have fun
I'm gonna sit here and be Mewtwo-less unless either my Mom decides to give me some cash or my Sister has a change of heart and actually gives me Mewtwo like she promised long ago (But she's hogging it now)

Atleast I have Monado Boy. :4shulk:



This is stupid, how my luck is turning out. :4rob:

@college: prepare for disillusionment, stress, and disappointment.
the coursework is also waaay heavier than anything you ever did in HS.

the coursework is waay heavier than anything you ever did in HS and you quickly realize how much adult life sucks in general.
Should I mention that I was given 79 math questions to do over the weekend? Because I was.

I don't expect college to be heaven on Earth, but anything is better then the class I'm stuck with now.
I guess it's my own fault for singing up for an honors class with a teacher everyone told me was bad...I just didn't think she could possibly be this bad. Oh boy, was I ever wrong.

I mean it. Roger Craig Smith, voice of Sonic, Wonder Blue, and young Batman, is awesome.
That said, Ryan Drummond will forever be the best.
