only noobs went to this
just saying
(dont get mad, im a noob, you're a noob, we're all noobs. get mad at wes not showing up)
ive been thinking a lot about what hugo said. basically, you either got it or you don't. you got about a two-year window to show you got it. my window closed long ago. the only people in the scene i can think with potential to maximize that window:
sung
holy **** is that seriously it? kfc could be elite but he doesn't want it. he's too old. sung is the only one with both the potential and the passion. the first time i played you i thought you could be zhu. well, do it. because you only have a limited time to make the most of it. zhu almost got there but in the end he was too old.
do your best to stop being so nice. that's one of the hardest things in this game, or any competitive activity: developing a killer instinct. if you can develop that you can do it. even if you don't develop it you'll be really good someday. but you won't be the best.
i know i'm never going to develop that killer instinct. i just don't want to. it's a matter of priorities. i'd rather be kind-hearted than dominant and feared. i'm also too old. i'd rather sit at home reading ayn rand than going out, playing smash and disrupting my bedtime.
i've been feeling it for the past couple of weeks but it was crystal clear last night. i'm giving up my hopes of ever becoming elite in this game. that's why i constantly feel like quitting: i feel like there's no point in playing if you're not playing to become the best. i'm not playing to become the best, so i feel like there's no point. it's only a matter of time.
