Hello, I played smash very casually when some friends introduced me to it during Brawl, where I found Game & Watch to be hilariously funny and all around a blast to play, I was content with playing on an even ground with my friends as we all had no idea how to do anything advanced.
But now, with most of them having the new Smash for about a year and getting absolutely ****ing destroyed by them, I was playing Greninja mostly because I took a liking to him. Before we all went our seperate ways that day I asked them "How do I get as good as you guys?" all of them had the same response of "play online". So I did, my abilities as Greninja allow me to beat a cpu level 9 with a bit of trouble, but winning reliably on 3 Stock games. I thought I was ready to play online, I was wrong, I get ****ed up by a link main every other game, and captain falcon mains the others. I rarely ever get a hit out on them, Link's especially. But my point being, I dont see a medium here for progression, its either you get ****ed in online, or do alright on bots. Its discouraging to say the least on a game that I loved to play with my friends is just a game of "lets see who can kick more ass on our mains" rather than just having fun, I want to get on their level. But the road to it is stressful and rage inducing. Is there any way around this hellhole of online and be a better player?
