Eh, I'll keep it brief since it's a rather uninteresting story. Long story short, I've never been to an IRL tourney. I've been dying to, but for lack of a better term, let's just say I'm landlocked. No vehicle, no fellow smashers within 150+ miles, and the same goes for tournaments. Broke as well, so traveling that far would be... daunting, to say the very least.
That being said, I've resorted to strictly online play for competition. I've played my *** of for months now after getting back into the swing of things after a quarter-year hiatus. What my concern is, is that since I am not realistically able to attend any tournaments, let alone serious ones, that my efforts will be entirely in vain. Conversely, my hope is that WiFi will yield some fruit as far as serious competition goes.
As ridiculous as it may sound, I'm a competitive Ganondorf. Been working at the guy for months now, and I like to think I've made it to heights I'd previously thought impossible. As such, I have one question to anyone who can offer informed insight: is there any hope to be a competitive player, despite my inability to attend IRL tournaments? I know for a fact that, thanks to my discrimination between coasts for connection's sake, WiFi hasn't hindered my advancement as a player. I'm just, simply put, afraid that trying to be a competitive player via WiFi is viewed as futile due to the (rightful) shunning of it.
