Felt good to go back out after like a month's hiatus. One of my favorite venues and I got to commentate for the Brawl bracket. It was very nostalgic and I love a lot about it but I think I can confidently leave Brawl in the past. Commentating MK vs ICs was a bit excruciating. I chose not to enter as I didn't want it to mess with my Smash 4 game, and ultimately I think it was the better choice.
Lost to Shippo 1-2 today who I beat last time 2-1. He leveled up while I was out and it caught me off guard. Definitely close and has motivated me even more to go out. Sheik is so frustrating.
I beat iRJi's Yoshi which was interesting. He had a really unfortunate SD round 1 which I felt bad about, but that's how it goes sometimes. He was a good sport and a good dude about it though. I have to play so patient with Yoshi...
Got eliminated by a custom Fox... I ended up teaming with him in 3v3 funny enough and took 3rd which was pretty good for just slapping a team together on the spot lmao.
Fox is so tough
Our neutral game is already weird but it might as well not even exist when put up against Fox.
Top 3 went to Angel, Avalon, and ADHD.
I can't tell if ADHD only plays this game to show how stupid customs are or... Only further emphasizing how much I hate them.
Ultimately, had a really great time and I want to keep pushing myself to be attending things regularly again. I can't let myself get rusty and slow down again. I want to grow as both a player, commentator, and moderator. Right now I'm stuck at this gatekeeper status of consistently placing around top 8 but just barely losing to the top players. This region is hard but some of the best practice I can get. I'm hoping to finally break this gate and go where the grass is greener...
Because money is green. Getting paid and winning would be nice.
Also, @
Boxob. / @
Boxob showed up and it was the first time I've seen him in years. Totally caught me off guard and it was great. He wanted me to let you know he's still alive and playing this game.
He got a kick out of all the
:093
: tags that I had on like a lot of the systems from being at this venue before, lmao. We joked about and reflected on Brawl board days. Good times.
So yeah, today was surprisingly nostalgic but also progressive at the same time.
