Smash Champion
Bahah I was gone for the weekend, sorry. Back now, and my history:
Back halfway through 7th grade (late 2004) I met my now best friends because we all played smash, and it was our favorite game. We were those types of noobs that are like "Yeah, I've never lost to anyone!" So we were all good players among noobs, and really wanted to play against each other. By the time we finally got together, one of us found shined blind... the sole reason we got into competitive smash. We loved it, were amazed, and through shined blind we eventually found smashboards (links people were posting, related videos, etc).
From there, long story short, we played by ourselves for years and years (we lived 4 hours away from any tourney, and were like 12-13 years old... parents weren't letting us go anywhere, especially not for a video game). We eventually taught two more people, expanding our community to five, and just kept playing. My main training partner and I watched every single good video in existence online (only a slight exaggeration) to make up for not having people to play, we talked about smash every day without fail, got really technical (cuz, hey, why not?), and then played every weekend for a day.
So from then until C.E.O. in june, we might have gone to maybe 2 tournaments, but they were all two of them were back in 2005-2007 era. Finally we got to go to another tournament in 2010! C.E.O. was a lot of fun, but of course nerves kicked in like crazy, and I played nothing like I normally would... I felt like I had something to prove, which was stupid of me, and really detrimental to my play.
Finally, 3 months later I move to ATL for college, and now I'm going to tournaments on a consistent basis (Finally!!!). I'm still ridiculously inexperienced, and it's amazingly obvious when I play... it also makes it really hard to play well against people who have so much more experience when it comes to the mental aspect. I know they have more experience, so it really messes with me in my mindset before going in.
Yeah... I mean that's the abbreviated version of my smash history; occasionally people visited Savannah to play us, but that was a twice a year occasion maybe. Now I'm just trying to play as many people as I can, and see how much potential I have. I'm not aiming for anywhere but the top
