I really enjoy recording for youtube. I used to watch tournament videos of Smash for 2 years before going to my first tournament
I might be able to g to KTAR6. It all depends on if I can get a job during the Summer, but the Summer's already half over. My parents don't like me being useless and spending money (that I can't re-earn). I work under a temp job agency at least, but that's not the same as a regular job
I've always wanted to go to a KTAR. Everything looks so hype
However, it might be the last or second last tournament I seriously record at. At /HOPE 3 yesterday, I've really started to regret what I do more. I'm missing out on interacting with the community in person. I can't even do shout outs after a tournament. My secret plan through all my video uploading is to get more players who are interested in competitive Smash to join the competitive scene. In all my video descriptions I mention where the event took place (during my 2 years of watching tournament videos on youtube, I had no idea ChuDat's and Sypher's tournaments were within biking distance of my house). And I post the video/results and tournament thread to reinforce viewers to check out Smashboards (The only forum for Smash I used to go to was the Nsider2 forums, which only lasted a while)
What I want soon is to be a competitor again. I want to be there at the tournament more. 1 of my best memories was from my second tournament. The tournament had a draft crew battle of 22 players total. When I played my 4 stocks, I had my team cheering behind me. It's a feeling like nothing else. I really want to feel that magic again
I still love recording for youtube and I still plan on doing it, It's just that soon I'm only going to record players who are equal or better than me (during/after I get eliminated)
