Does anyone else get burned out sometimes?

[LovinMitts]

So lately, I haven't exactly been super motivated to practice or anything. This has happened to me several times. I typically spend a period of time thinking about nothing but Smash, go to a tournament and play pretty well, focus on getting better, and eventually get bored or tired of it.

I always get back into it eventually, and typically better than when I stopped. Is it healthy to take a few weeks of "hiatus" every once and a while, or should I just try to get through it? Also, does this happen for anyone else?

nah

what keeps me motivated is knowing that if i put in the time and effort i might play melee on a stage one day

I had that mentality 8-10 years ago. Best of luck

This helps me get motivated.

There's nothing wrong with taking a break. Enjoy doing anything else that's not Melee. When you return to the game, you'll love it more
