Now I do not consider myself great at this game, honestly after 4000 online matches I only have a 60 win loss ratio, and that is average in my eyes. Well, I had 60 w/l record until today. This is the worst day I have ever played smash . No matter what I did, no matter who I played. I could not win a single best of 3 set. In fact some sets I lost by double stocks in both games. Worst yet even when I won a match it felt empty and pointless, I truly felt I had no skill today, and felt demoralized by the consent losses. I love this franchise more than any other games out their, and it is just so painful to go through this when you dedicate so much time and effort to the games.

Has anyone ever experienced this themselves it would feel comforting knowing I am not the only one to experience a bad day like this.

Let me tell you a touching story. I always thought I was good at Smash Bros. One day, I met ADHD online on For Glory. I never recovered from that experience, I still have nightmares of the monster that is Diddy Kong but at least I Falcon Punched him.

I got two stocked by a Marth that literally did nothing but roll backwards and F-smash. In that order, constantly. I had him completely figured out - yet still, he hit me every. Single. Time. I got two stocked. So ashamed.

It's just one of those days man. I had an amzing run today, I won about 25 and lost only 3 times or so. I'm pretty happy with that. Tomorrow is another day though, so just dust yourself off and forget today. Sh*t happens.

It happens man, I've had a few days like that where it felt that I couldn't do anything because it'd get stuffed or that all my worst MU just kept lining up. just gotta keep calm and take the bad with the good you know?

and to answer your final question, yeah I've had a few days like that, and it's discouraging as hell to see a 30% for last 10 knowing that if you had landed the last few hits on the last few matches it would have been different (oh, and don't get me started on Sudden death matches that I've had villagers hide under the platform while i get bombed.)

I thought it was hot stuff too until i met up with acestar who used little mac and destroyed me, I used to have little to no respect for little mac but that experience changed me.

Don't feel bad unmarked, maybe the person you played has just put in more games than you. I only play 2 hours a night ave and have 4000 matches in already too, I bet there are people out there with 10k matches in.

Today. I have lost to so much BS it hurts. -even my mains were getting stomped by cliche, obvious strategies. I think my defensive game is totally off. :|

Sometimes I just lose to predictable patterns where I really should just know better. When this happens, it just causes me to lose confidence with certain characters so I'm unable to pick them for a while. Usually it just means I just need to stop and approach the match in a different way.

I've recently started losing to players who are clearly much worse than me. It's probably because I'm starting to think too logically because many of my recent losses have been because I assume my opponent will adapt based on how I play even when it is clear that they are playing Smash Bros as if it is a one player game.

While it isn't my worst day on FG ever, it is probably the most frustrating for me personally.

This happens to me every couple weeks.

Kinda funny too. I have about a 60% win rate and about the same number of games. I think the trick is to not let it get to you. The more you think about it, the longer it lasts.

This sounds hilarious, but all I found were a bunch of "random replays." Could you do me a favor and either provide a link or post enough of the URL I could find the video you are talking about?

That pretty much sums it up. For me, though, it's more along the lines of "I've just countered 20 raptor boosts in a row. My opponent can't be stupid enough to try it again."

Of course, I forgot that they were stupid enough to use raptor boost 20 times in a row even after getting punished for it each time, so I end up eating an attack that I should have stopped easily.

I had one of the worst days in my Smash career an few days it was terrible. Most of the matches i should had won was stolen from me by lag i barely won one match that day, because all my opponents had an bad connection. :/

I feel you man. I've had many a day where I've jumped into FG only to get absolutely DESTROYED. It usually happens after I go on a winning streak on local. Thinking I'm hot stuff, I go into FG and I lose every match. But every day is a new day so you never know what's going to happen the next day.

I was the saltiest i had ever been yesterday, i was over it quick through,

I was mucking around with other characters on FG, lost a game to a Sonic main who wasn't that good but he was being real douche, i thought, oh well i'll pull out my Link/Falcon who i play much much better.

Then i ended up going Falcon and was wiping the floor with this dude, he was on 80 + % on his 2nd stock when he finally took my first... then it happened, i chased him off the side for the kill, planned my recovery, I upaired him and as i went to return with with my upspecial... aaaaannnnddddd raptor boosted straight into the side and fell helplessly to my death just before he died in the background, hence i lost which resulted in a tag change to 'HAHAHA' and him quitting before i could take my revenge.

I stewed for about 10 seconds, then i was over it haha

When everyone just quit and quit with the fight not even starting. I even played a Yellow Luigi who just punched the air and SD'd. I think his name was Pablo or something like that... hey, are you reading, yellow Luigi? Thanks for the free win.

Well, nothing beats getting free wins with my opponents SDing on purpose just cuz they didn't want anything to to with my Rosalina, Little Mac and/or even my Mega Man.

Against me they D/C a lot too but often after I have owned them, like taking their first stock with 0% (Yeah I am the best I do that a lot).

I love it and taunt like a madman with Uptilt when they do it.

It's starting to become a common thing for me, too. And as soon as they respawn and then walk out, I tend to go after them and try to deliver the first blow.

Yeah I often chase them too. But I rarely hit them. Maybe next time I should grab a Gyro to throw down. I would love to hit one of those noobs some day.

I love hitting people who are falling to their death a lot in general. Even people who fought well but are falling simply because they could not recover sometimes get a goodbey attack from me, like stage spiking them, spiking them, knocking them below the field with Bair. Too bad I often miss when trying this and then they fall to their death normally.

I like to think so but cannot be sure. I do wish that I could share my evaluation of their skill level with them like people can in WiiU. But Smash 3DS has no way to chat.

Another reason to nerf Greninja.

In all seriousness, I always have bad days while playing. Often I have very good days, but other times... everything seems off. You have to be in the willing mood to play to do well.

Yeah, that is true especially on the 3DS version.
