TheCrimsonBlur
Smash Master
Those GREV videos have given me so much **** you have no idea.
Everyone's got these ridiculous expectations for me. Apparently consistently placing dead last at every event, and getting wrecked on every video uploaded on youtube isn't enough to convince people that I'm not this almighty smash god that they imagine me to be. I went to west coast and people were thinking I was going to storm up their power rankings. Whenever someone hears that they are facing me in tournament, their eyes widen, their shoulders slack, and they let out a "****!" If I sit down with anybody for friendlies for the first time, after I introduce myself they always say "The Crimson Blur? I've heard of you..." and then they play like its a chance of a lifetime. Why? Because I have a early join date and I write pretty?
And then of course the worst feeling is after a few matches they start realizing I'm a fraud. I don't know why I care so much but the change in their demeanor really bothers me.
All I wanted was to record my sets against people better than me so I could learn from it, or whatever people keep telling me I'd get out of watching footage of myself make horrible decisions and technical mistakes. Instead all I got was people blowing up my youtube and smashboards inboxes, and my facebook and AIM, telling me how garbage I am. I don't know what about me makes randomMarth123 feel compelled to rub salt in the wound, but apparently thats the cool thing to do in the smash community. Plenty of good players have reached out to me too, and they are generally helpful, but of course every conversation starts with "damn, I'm surprised he ***** you that badly." And now I got someone who I thought was my homie exposing me in front of the world out of nowehere. ****ing sweet. Can't wait to get on that "amazing matches" thread, thats gonna be awesome.
Can't I be a scrub in peace?
