I think I will end up getting it, as I found out my budget can get me 2 $5 games (Shantae for GBC and River City Ransom) and 1 $4 game (Metroid II). Not like I can't just buy more point cards down the line, anyhow.
Speaking of which.
If possible. Tell me how Shantae is. I've been considering it. But haven't gotten around to it.
Cheap MK *cough* Cheapity cheap cheap cheap. I had to say it; I hate him that much.
I'll give you that.
I'm picky, and would most likely hang around the Pit/Bowser areas, and wherever there's useful info.
That's the thing. A good idea is to branch out.
Mains change all the time. And it's best to at least keep up with a few you're considering.
It's been a waste the moment I realized that I was doing all of the work to acquire the data, but I still went on anyways.
The people haven't given me a reason to be positive. And it's more than just the haters, but again, many elitists...
...Here's the thing. There are some who main Pit and have high/top tier secondaries (some of them who bash me too.), and then there's those who eventually quit Pit and go to the higher ups if not quit the game altogether. It's some of those Pit players themselves that have been jerks to me, which made me think I did all that data-gathering for nothing, and like I said, I've been at it for 1-2 years. Once AIB's up, I'll gladly show you my old group that's now a wasteland of forgotten data and information.
Might as well bunch these two together.
Look, bud. I'm gonna be blunt with you. No beating around the bush. Just the truth.
...Calm down.
From this, I don't see a legit reason to hate. All I see is emotion.
All I see is "I quit". I can't do this anymore. That's the attitude of a defeatist.
It's like if the Backroomers just packed their bags and gave up matchups cause "People hate them."
You'll find people across the spectrum. Heck, I've had my share of arguments of elitists all across the board.
It actually reminds me of the time when some people asked me to tutor their Pit, and what was most of the stuff I see? Them asking me to teach em how to loop arrows instead of the fundamentals, and some of the others, I felt that they weren't improving, even after practice matches in and out. To get rid of that part of frustration, I stopped tutoring...
Then maybe tutoring isn't the best.
But all I can say is it requires patience. People have different needs.
You can't just give up on them, what you need is to work.
Be serious, give criticism. Help them get better instead of getting frustrated.
Capps seems like he has a lot of patience if he's doing what he can to help out such weak and uncommon characters.
And isn't that that best attitude? Come in positive, instead of expecting the worst.
People don't put effort into data to impress. They do it cause they love Smash. And will do anything to make it better.
While it is true my personality isn't the best, more-so my temper, the fact that I tried for a while, even while I had school wrapped around me (2009 mind you) just shows I was determined. But really, I think it's how I've been treated for most of my life. From school bullies to trolls to former friends backstabbing you (and yes, even some of em were Pit players) to people who try to cover up their mean intentions by trying to say something like "it's just a joke" (including those that like to spread fake lies about me via fake pics and such), I experienced all of that. At this point, I'm generally just fed up with the BS I deal with and became meaner as time went by, and I'm gonna miss my happier times, but I don't think I'll ever see that for a while... til Palutena is confirmed playable, or if things turn out better. I can't say this year so far has been good to me either though.
...And this is where my point stands.
Look, I'll be honest here.
Admittedly, if anything, this "personality" of mine is a facade.
In reality, I'm a pessimist. I look at the world with a half-glass empty. I'm emotional, I let things get to me personally.
When I'm stressed, I shut myself off. I act like I'm undeserving. Heck, it's the reason I quit 3DSA.
And trust me, I've blown up on this site as well. Don't believe me? Xiroey could tell you...
I get where you're coming from. While I may have never been betrayed. Trust me when I say "I'm used to it".
But one thing I've learned is not to let emotions get the best of you.
All it ends up doing is hurting you, and everyone around you.
You won't "get the last laugh". Or whatever you're saying.
Now, while I've never had betrayals. As most of mine are medical.
But I've had my fair share of moments (try having an Asthma scare).
And I've learned is to not let them define you.
Move on, don't dwell in the past. And don't end up like me.
I haven't learned that yet, but you still can.
