Smash Lord
THIS IS MOSTLY BRAWL RELATED...
Ok here goes.......
Lately i have been thinking about Smash, the smashers themselves and the future of smash in the uk and thoughout my time as a smash player have seen things both good and bad.
I have been winning tournaments in the UK (was it like the last 2 or 3 i dont know) and i feel kind of good that im winning but at the same time disapointed and has made me reflect on other stuff as well in the process.
Reasons i may quit uk smash (this does not mean ditching the game, it just means i will either stop going to uk tourneys and just go abroad alot, go to the monthlies just to help people get better or just meet people to have a laugh)
1) Friends - One of the first thoughts i have had lately. When i first started i had people like MakoMako, CCPLZ and Jamz around me (SOS), these people made smash very fun for me, the amount of laughs we had together were too much to handle lol however i made some bad decisions which may have effected the group itself and altogether it may have been my fault that this group just stopped. Either way mako and these guys made smash enjoyable, smash just doesnt feel the same anymore without these guys around
2) Other Smashers - When i hear results, i expect to hear that people who have been playing for a while to beat most people in the community (not everyone but most). However recently smashers such as cong and siri have made me reflect abit (cong losing to fuzzyness and siri losing to kyoshi), i would expect cong to beat fuzz, although he has been in previous tourneys (contradition much lol) fuzzyness doesnt have the game and should not be beating someone who has the game to pay freely at anytime he can. Another example is Siri, now heres where it starts going crazy, KYOSHI AKA KMETA DEFEATED SIRI IN THE BRACKETS, how is this possible? someone who has bad habits and uses a terrible character (no offense kmeta but its true) beats someone who has been to like at least 5 monthlies and has been in the top 5. This has lead me to believe that people in the uk are not really taking brawl seriously (BEING LAZY GAMERS) and if they are not taking brawl seriously WHY SHOULD I BOTHER ANYMORE?!? (IM NOT TRYING TO PUT DOWN ANYONE BUT IM EXPRESSING MYSELF)
An example is myself - I got knocked out by tamoo's Olimar, i was like wtf that day however i said i would learn the matchup, i learnt the matchup against cpu's lv9 and reading smashboards abit. The following tourney i beat tamoo comfortably and won the tourney (So why can peeps do the same?!?!)
3) Getting better/Future of smash in the uk/Counterpicks -(continueing abit from the 2nd reason). If this continues, people just randomly coming in, who have no tourney experience and from observation are not really good are beating regulars then i dont know why i should waste my time, like seriously >_> Im trying to better and that can only happen if i play against people who have put work into their character (sorry if that sounds selfish).
Counters lol, now this is something that angers me sometimes as well, example calzorz, Hoe4u etc. These people have counters against me but still either dont win or dont use a counter against me at all >_> i mean come on, Calzorz has Icies and hoe4u has pika who can chaingrab me to death but i dont see any of that happen , its depressing cause im winning but i feel people in the community are taking me for a joke or something.
Reasons why i should stay in brawl
1) people can better and beat me comfortably in time i guess
2) Dolpghost and Ixis - Now these are people who i greatly respect in the community because of the work they have put into their characters. Ixis, beating diddy kongs with bowser WTF? definetly someone who i know put in work. Dolpghost is another example of a player who i respect, although he lost to willz and calz this guy has put work into his character! the last monthly was like his 2nd tourney and he outplaced people who come to the london regulary, (I DONT WANT TO HEAR ANY JOHNS ABOUT HOW I DONT GET TO PRACTICE OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT, CAUSE THIS GUY PRACTICES AGAINST CPU'S AND ONLINE)
so yh that its lol... also i was thinking about going to melee only but that would just take too long
so yh ima gonna say it again
IF I WIN AT SMASHGT, I WILL QUIT UK SMASH, AND GO ON FROM THERE!!
P.S MY COMBO VID WILL BE MY FIRST AND LAST IF I WIN (THINK OF IT LIKE MY HIGHLIGHTED EXIT LOL)
PEACE....
