I went to a tourney today and had a really horrible time. I just didnt have fun at all, didnt even make it out of pools, played horrible and didnt even have fun (did i mention that?). I feel so dumb to have wasted my saturday this way... I don't know if i'll be going to many tourneys anymore

[Fortress | Sveet]

Crush thats like the joke that was barely funny the first time, then you say it the second time and its not funny. then the third time its even worse. But after that its so funny because of how un-funny it is

Please don't tell my mom

 

[Fortress | Sveet]

I might have to tell her you spend too much time in front of the smashboards. You dont want to turn out like me, do you?

 

[crush]

You dont want to turn out like me, do you?

Definitely not, since you're a loser.
Im not a bully
Don't tell on me
Not my mom.

Pretty soon you'll be singing it in this fashion:

[soap]

I'm out of the loop. But definitely sounds like you need a break.

I haven't been to a tourney in like a year, and I'm kinda itchin to get to one now.

 

[Fortress | Sveet]

Meh i "retired" 2 months ago. Kinda just been going to tourneys cause they are 10 min from my parents house and i have to go home on the weekends for work anyways. I think im officially gonna stop.

 

[Teczer0]

Crush - That was pretty unnecessary and in pretty poor taste. Next time it happens I'll infract you.

Joe - Yea, just chill out for a bit. I mean tbh, I'm sorta outta the loop too. I just play at tournies because I get to see friends that I otherwise would never see. I haven't gone to a tourney for the sake of melee in like a year lol

 

[gm jack]

If you don't enjoy the game or rely on money from winning them, there's not much point forcing yourself to go. However, officially retiring is a bit overkill, and just not turning up until you feel like it is perfectly fine.

 

[Teczer0]

Yea, there is never any real reason to commit to an extreme. Just play the game, if you get bored of it find something else to occupy the time for a bit.

When you get motivated more get in that lab.

Just how some games work.

I feel like retiring just sorta happens, its less of a decision people can make for themselves *shrugs*

 

[Fortress | Sveet]

i just dont see myself playing melee anymore. I really have no passion for the game since its so old and i have taken it so serious for so long, its all stale. If i really had fire I could be like PP and put all my energy into improving and solving the problems, but i dont feel that for melee and i doubt i ever will again. I have been playing starcraft 2, i am on my school's league team, practicing 30-40 hours a week, and its really fun. The only thing i'm really lacking is the community, which is the thing thats kept me coming back to melee for the last 6 months. But on friday night i sat skype with people from my school (including Jazzness if anyone knows who that is) and had a few beers and played FFAs and 4v4s. At one point i literally laughed so hard i became light headed; i literally cannot remember the last time i laughed that hard.

I really love the people i've met through smash and i love smashboards and the smash community, but i really don't love smash anymore.

 

[Teczer0]

So just lay low. I mean if that ends up as you never playing the game again then w/e.

My point is that theres no reason to convince anyone you're through with the game, including yourself. There's no way to completely organize your future, especially hobbies and interests.

Just roll with what you know you'll enjoy.

 

[gm jack]

Also, going out in a dramatic way just makes you look like a douche if you ever decide you want to play again. Leaving options open makes life a lot easier than convincing yourself you've retired.

I know I'll have a lot less time for the game after this year, but I still enjoy it so I'm just going to do what I can if I have the time and effort.

 

[sulliman1]

it's all about dat option coverage

 

[Fortress | Sveet]

Am i being over dramatic or something? I'm not quitting like andale or other people have, by posting porn to get perma banned or soemthing like that. I was just having a simple conversation about my feelings :C

 

[Teczer0]

Not particularly. I do think you're overthinking it though.

 

[Fortress | Sveet]

How am i overthinking it? Just how i feel :X

anyways, social SHIEK thread not social SVEET thread

 

[Teczer0]

It's easy, if you didn't think about it so much you wouldn't be so conflicted.

Also I'm boring iunno all I do is school work nowadays.

=[

 

[Fortress | Sveet]

Dude i'm literally undefeated in PvP. Ok i lost 1 game, but that was over a week ago. 20-1 is pretty close to undefeated haha. I think i am figuring out the PvT match-up pretty well, too. I think I know what i want to do in PvZ but my build really needs to be refined.

 

[Teczer0]

If I was to guess your race I would have said Terran for freaking sure.

You play Protoss? O_o

 

[Winston]

I thought I've seen Sveet dropping complaints about Terran here and there in posts, I wouldn't have guessed Terran

 

[AlcyoNite]

can u explain pvz to me? i main terran and i am lost when ppl ask me about that mu. i used to watch pvz last year a lot (mainly cuz i think husky's entertaining) but i havent kept up with that metagame. are infestors op vs toss as well?

 

[Teczer0]

I thought I've seen Sveet dropping complaints about Terran here and there in posts, I wouldn't have guessed Terran

I'm basing it off of his personality? I think.....

Didn't see him post about sc2. I'm not particularly a fan of sc2

 

[Winston]

Haha me either, that's why I wouldn't be able to guess race based on personality since I don't really know how they play in sc2 xD

 

[Fortress | Sveet]

Lol i played every race. T is like the sheik of sc2; they are very versatile in both offense and defense and they have lots of different builds. P is kinda like peach; you have to know exactly what you need to do at every second, your army usually wins in straight fights but your weakness is mobility. Z is like falco; it once was the case where you could kill them early but Z players have learned to avoid it and their biggest strength is map control.

I just switched from P (my first race) back from Z (who i've played since last december). PvZ is very strange. P can't be aggressive early any more since the 4 gate was nerfed, so zergs can sorta expo once for free. Because of that, protoss have started going forge fast expand, which makes the zerg take 2 bases early. The standard followup after for P is to go air and try to deny the 3rd base. This is sorta the engagement that determines the pace of the rest of the game. If P does well harassing, they are able to secure their 3rd fairly safe and tech. If Z shuts them out, Z can delay P's 3rd for such a long time that P is almost too far behind to win. And yes, infestors are pretty strong; infestors basically make zealots and sentries useless, but collosus/archon/stalker is still really hard for Z battle straight up so its pretty fair.

 

[Teczer0]

If I played either sc I would play Zerg for both. =3

But yea. Implying that one day I'll play mirite?

 

[-Vocal-]

If Sheik wasn't so poor in Brawl I'd make a main switch

 

[Fortress | Sveet]

Haley, you ARE korean arent you?

 

[Teczer0]

Um.... About that....

.... Maybe one day I'll play sc. Such a good game.

But yea I fail as a Korean. It's true

 

[Fortress | Sveet]

Its ok. Good thing you live in america where people don't judge you based on your skill at video games

 

[Teczer0]

By people I'm assuming you meant elves

 

[Winston]

Lol i played every race. T is like the sheik of sc2; they are very versatile in both offense and defense and they have lots of different builds.

Hmm... sheik is the least versatile top tier, I feel... and perhaps the worst at approaching... not counting Jiggs

I just switched from P (my first race) back from Z (who i've played since last december). PvZ is very strange. P can't be aggressive early any more since the 4 gate was nerfed, so zergs can sorta expo once for free.

So it's the same as BW PvZ, then...

haha, I just think it's funny how similar it sounds, though im sure it's quite different

 

[KirbyKaze]

Jigglypuff is the least versatile top tier in this metagame. If you don't consider her top tier, then we have different lists and there is tomfoolery afoot.

 

[Wake]

Tomfoolery!!! It's afoot!!!

 

[Teczer0]

I can buy this because she's versatile but mainly defensive.

And when I think of terran.

I think of a very stupid turtle.

Jigglypuff isn't top tier stop that Dave.

 

[crush]

Dave??

Kirbykazes name is dave?!?!?!

DAVE?!?!?!???!!!???
lolololololololololololololoooolololololol

Dave is the exact opposite of any name I would think KK would have lol

 

[Fortress | Sveet]

well when i say aggressive, for terran that means going to your base and hiding behind tanks and bunker... at your base. kinda like what sheik does

 

[KirbyKaze]

My mistake, Puff is still mid tier.

Or SS++ tier.

Puff's placement is so... trendy.
