every time you play, focus on improving your game constantly; the worst thing you can do is play on auto-pilot.

the game isn't about techniques. it's about patience, creativity, and knowledge. focus on these.

21? OMG! Here 16 is the legal age to start drinking and that's way to old. If I never had a beer before the age of 12 I think I would've died, pretty hard as well.

Anyway, try playing different people, that tends to lead you to different tactics, which might be better. Also, you (OP) made me lose the game by posting that topic title. Now, I need to get you to start playing.

Do / play something else instead. Maybe you're just sick of it at the moment.

And it's funny to see people posting things like "get a gf" if - for SURE - 90% of them don't have a gf / bf / whatever as well.
( If someone flames at me now yellin' "U DUN HAVE A GF AS WELL", I'll laugh, since I'm a girl. And I DO have a gf. :p )

Honestly, your life can't be in such a bad state that you have nothing else to do than playing smash.

But who am I to judge you? It's up to you, I can only give advices.

Mhm... something just popped into my mind. It's probably the same with, like, everything else.
I love to draw and I'm on an Art School and whatsoever, and sometimes I just dangit CAN'T draw AT ALL. At least no "private things" - the things for school are going well, but jeez, it's making me sick to not be able to draw anything else at all.
Maybe it's the same for you, but the other way 'round - then you should play Brawl for the mere fun of it. That's what Videogames are for anyway - you play them for fun. Of course there's competitive gaming and tournaments, but if you just can't win at all, go back to your roots and just play for fun. Or ... not at all.

You'll get over it for sure. Just don't whine about it, everyone - and I mean EVERYONE - will someday meet a situation like this. Maybe not with Brawl, but with other things.

And they all got over it so far, so don't give up.

Why is my name still "Kriegsseele"? I wanna be Atsu! >_>

um.. all I can say is that you must be really disturbed (and desperate) to play Smash again, but I guess all you need is a big break from it, but then again you'll get even worse because you'll forget your skill

I don't want to be another person that goes back to Melee, just because I can't play anymore.

Are you ****ing serious? Brawl is such an unskillful un-techy game. This statement makes me laugh at you. Brawl is inferior, get it through your head.

i kinda think i know what ure goin through.
i realised this with my tennis, i was paying well over £100 between tournaments in lessons, and i still wasn't getting any wins, been playing for years n i thought to myself where's the posotives? so that's what i want you to think, what are the posotives of playing brawl right now, then one week same question, set a alarm or something for a certain time on a certain day of the week to really make sure you set aside time to PROPERLY answwer the question (this also works for other things not just smash). try n step outside of yorself (don't ask) see your whole life and everything going on currently away from a first person perspective. what do you want to do? i can imagine how much of an influence the game's had on u, but it's not the game, it's the experiences the game's brought upon you. u could of had the same views from something entirely different, but in this case it is smash that's done it.
i always live by the sentence 'people come people go'
whoever you meet, everyone you know ever, you WILL have to leave at some point. look back at the friends you've had, i know some i'd thought i'd stay friends till like 50, they're long gone now. or even your parents, chances r u'll out ive them. whenever i meet someone i prepare myself to leave them, cause i know i will, but this doesn't mean holding back in my relationship, or friednships, not at all. it just makes leaving them easier. now apply this to smash, prepare yourself to leave it, because be it old age, dislike of the game, wii breaking or even an injury, u will leave it eventually. see if you can rekindle the buzz by realsing you should enjoy it before you leave it.
oh and on girlfriends depends what age u r really, young teens not much point, later teens gives you an expirience of what future commitment could be like, at shows u what u look for. 21+ you should really be looking, so yea whatever applies to you :)
i hope i've helped. i've always liked helping people with problems so if u want more talk or nething feel free to pm me

and @ the girlfriends comments
a smart person once said "Dont trust anything that bleeds for five days and doesnt die"
**** straight
100% of the time when somebody quotes another and refers to them as "a smart person" or "an old man", there was never anyone to quote in the first place. This quote comes from you.

Either:

1. Find some new life passion and make Brawl some thing you do on the side. I love SSBB, but to me, the more important things in life come first. You can't avoid your spiritual/physical well-being, right? Hence, I try to better myself as a person while making things like SSBB hobbies. The game doesn't really matter (even though I want to make a career out of games). Hell, I guess my career won't matter, either. As long as I strive to become a good person, that's all that matters.

2. Read my "T'ai Chi Brawling" thread. I know that sounds like blatant advertising (and maybe it is), but maybe some of the things I felt at the time I wrote the thread might strike a chord with you.

3. Get a girlfriend! Just kidding, you don't really "need" that special someone. But...

4. In conjunction with #1, find something enjoyable in life that has serious "replay value." I like exercise (part of that "physical health" thing). It's something I have to do almost every day. Hence, I go to the gym, do T'ai Chi, etc. I like pursuing moral growth. I also like getting to know people better, but at the same time, adhering to my own values. Every day, I try to find ways to exercise/morally conduct myself better. I make life an "adventure" of sorts. You should try it, too!

.......Wow.:dizzy: Hope that helped!

-KrazyKaiju

P.S. Who knows, in following up with #1 and 4, you just might find that dream girl. Some girls are into that sort of thing.
