Sorry I didn't take any money matches guys. I spent my last monies on Quiznos 
It wasn't until after I was finally eliminated that I started getting challenged anyway. I'll bring a little extra money to Big House 3 for you guys though, but be warned. Doc going to get a whole lot better!

Are you kidding me? If you think top players are doing it for the money... You've been horribly misled.
And if YOU are playing competitively for money, I suggest you either change your perspective or stop playing.
You can work your ass off trying to make $100 on a given weekend, but you'll never be a top player until you don't need to make a buck for doing so.

there is something of a decent point in here. i've always said that people should not take smash that seriously. you're never going to make a comfortable living from this game. do you really want to live like m2k or mango? no offense but i wouldn't want to be either of them in real life. smash should be a diversion, not a life focus.
that being said, i love this game. you can say it doesn't matter to be good at this game, but i take pride in my victories and accomplishments, and i still hate to lose. it matters as much as you let it matter. it's an amazing feeling to put a lot of work into a game, and to be rewarded for it.

Ken had the right idea. He saved up all his money to go to college. Best Smasher ever.

The thing is moose, not a single player in MI is trying to make a living off of smash. Thax just kind of said that with no basis lol.

If you can make money from a hobby then have at it, Hoss.
If you're looking to make a living off of a video game then you're playing the wrong one.

yea i understand. mi already pretty much already embodies what i'm talking about (at least for melee, i have no idea about brawl). that's why players are so chill here.
So that's how it's gonna be.

I think it's more like if you're playing Smash primarily to make money, you're doing the wrong thing.

I think most of us who play smash have lost a lot more than we've made. Who gives a rats left nut about making money on this game? Even evo only paid out like what, 5 grand to mango? (shot in the dark) Something like that.. So if that is going to be what you put all of your effort into, good luck making a good living. I'm not good enough to make money on it, so I played in high school, and kind of stopped in college. Now I have a degree and I'm getting back into it. It is a hobby, and playing it as a living would ruin it for me, personally. Money is effed anyway, am I right? Live your life for money, go ahead, but it wont make you happier. It is all about the community meet ups, and playing with people who care about the game, not about the money.
Kind of why I don't play many MMs. The other reason is that I'd probably lose anyway.

game sucks, only way to win is not to play
Well I guess my point is, if you're hypothetically a top player who has lost passion for Smash but you still play it primarily for money, I think you'd spend way less effort (and produce way more money) by simply going out and getting a job.
What's even worse is if you're the type of person who won't listen to helpful advice.

Job is better, but if you have sat off, tourneys are worth it if you win them.
