I'm sorry about my last blog. I did not mean to be cocky or disrespectful, I just wanted people to know that I'm no noob. I saw a comment that said a fighter is not judged by how long he's played the game, but by skill. I must say I do have skill, I beat level 9s and pro smashers all the time. In fact I beat two level 9s in a handicap match. But once again, not trying to be cocky, just want to be respected. I have won over 1000 matches in my smasher carrer. So I can be a formidable opponent.
Alright buddy, I'm going assume you're young, and don't have much experience in the way of the world, so I'm going to kindly ask all of you guys to cut him some slack, even though this is truly a wonderful laugh.
First of all, no one, anywhere, thinks that beating the computer is hard in Brawl. They always airdodge after you hit them, so you can hit them again endlessly. They also recover poorly.
Secondly, if you want people to respect you, you have to EARN it. This is the way life goes. I strive to be respected all the time. A lot of us here do. In fact, I'll even go as far to say that I'm sometime insecure. Still, I understand that I have to earn respect and I should not expect people to acknowledge me just because I acknowledge myself. It's good to have self-respect, but you must prove yourself. Then, respect will come naturally and flow to you, you won't have to ask for it.
Claiming to have beaten pros is an extremely outlandish thing to do, especially if it's false. Claiming to have beaten a superior foe is poor form, especially if you do not consistently win, or just won a couple of times on rare occasion.
It is also not wise to apologize for a mistake, and then repeat the same mistake by trying to re-convince us of your talent by claims backed by no evidence, or claims holding no standing. As you see, it's getting you laughed at.
In the future, when you enter a new community, instead of trying to jump in macho-like, I suggest that you try and get a feel for the community. Learn who you should be respecting, before you try to claim any respect for yourself. Learn why those people are respected, and then strive not just to equal them, but to surpass them. Only in this struggle will you truly earn respect. This applies to all aspects of the world, not just Smash.
