Money happened. In my original plan, I was going to still be living at my mom's house in WV making money there. However, now that I moved to AZ, paid all those security deposits, paying rent, and any and all other fees in addition to working two jobs... the time to practice smash let alone participate at Genesis is a difficult prospect to pan for.
Also, this still doesn't mean I wouldn't like to play against m2k, let alone every other world level player. I mean, even after being WV-rustified I was still able to get Taj's Mew2 down to 1 stock consecutively (He had control and rust johns too though... so... w/e.. >_> Let me have my glory). Though, admittedly, the second he grabbed an actual character, ie top tiers, it was no contest.
