Who finds competive matches fun.

If they're weren't fun, why would we be playing them.
I play to win, but I have fun while doing it. I don't know what some people would say on this, so I want thoughts >_>

I play to win and for fun, both competitive and casual.

The best thing to do is not care when you lose.

If you don't care when you lose, you won't try as hard to win. That's playing to avoid anyone but you having fun; the game is way less fun if my opponent isn't trying hard.

What?! You can play to win and have fun at the same time? So you mean pros aren't subjected to an endless spiraling derpression?

I personally find intense 1v1 matches the best.
Sadly, I no longer see any fun in this game aside from competitve, tourney ruled, 1v1 or 2v2 matches.

Competitive matches are fun. I like to see how I stack up against other players, and see how much I've improved since my previous foray into a tournament setting.

I pity those who play competitively and don't enjoy it...

lol, I go to tournaments knowing I will not win. So I just go to get better, play my best, and have fun doing it.

I so need to enter a tournament atleast once in my lifetime...

I play for fun, but to win too. I mean... nobody wants to lose right? <:

Real Brawl matches hardly occour for me however, cause I rarely have anyone to play with anymore. :/

I play competitively against my will. Some guy holds a gun to my head and forces me to do it. I hate it. Competitive play is so depressing, but I have to do it. Sorry, but I never play for fun.
