First off, if we're talking about Billfest. If it's NC guys, I don't have anything to say. If we're talking about SC guys, then whoever said that unless it's Yay or Mott are ****ing stupid because they're not better than me lol
Since you wanted to touch on **** talk, might as well go ahead and let you know I've heard negative things about you from about half of the brawl scene here, and pretty much ANYONE that has brought up the subject in Georgia that I've known. The general consensus being you think you're better than you are, and you kind of act like a **** all the time (particularly online)
The difference between you and I, as you state, isn't about the money. For one extra difference, Yay and I are friends, and were closer at points before you came around. Again. You have no idea what the **** you're talking about because you weren't there. Keep in mind, I believe Yay deserves recognition. When people ask about SC, I always tell them Yay is better than me, etc, cause it's true. But the fact remains that without me : nobody from SC would have gone to a tournament, except for Yay (again, Melee only)
Any of the old Melee players respect me less than brawl kids? Ryzol, Kidd, Scha, Ramz, Boxr, Yoshido, Daniel, Yay. Please, again tell me these people respect me less than brawl kids do. Please. Who else played Melee? Khai, Spinjump? now we got Twist and RDZL, Dill, and they all seem to like me (unless I'm just naive?)
and then there's Foxy, whom was the start of my outburst, whom I housed before even though I really didn't want to, whom I stayed up with while waiting for his ride after my tournament very late, when I didn't want to, whom I beat pretty easily without touching the game in like 2 months. and this same guy lives mildly close to me now, but does not seem interested in playing ever, and has hardly done much in SC to be called an SC smasher IMO, so wtf am I supposed to think of him?
If it's about recognition, the only one I truly cared about is my presence in Georgia, which is still there (I voted in their PR panel, for example) but as Mike G put it when commenting on SC "I want to think of more than just Yay and TRC when I think of SC **** it!" but by now I'm sure he thinks about Snapp's image posts
Let me confirm, I don't want "the community" as in all of Smash to respect me. I want people who know better to not completely ignore me, and how I've practically built this scene (again, this is so far before you...)
Do you think I expect respect as a Young Link player because I made combo videos? no, I don't. Because tournament results are what matter and I can never get to tournaments, so I'm not going to even try and argue I'm great with Young Link. I can't ask for respect for something I haven't done.
But in SC, I have done it. I've gone out of my way to play with people even if I didn't feel like it just because I want them to get better, I wanted SC to get better. I always put in so much more effort than anyone else, all these people who claimed they were motivated but instead did nothing...
"Okay Devin, I think you ban Meta Knight because you don't want me to come win your tournaments."
Now you're supposed to get mad and we'll unban him and then you'll beat me and everyone will laugh, but that should prove my point that he doesn't need to be banned, but then he'll just keep being banned anyway,
so my ploy is pretty much not going to work, looking into it like this. guess I need to come up with something else.
I'm entering Brawl Singles at U-Mad if I go, now, I think, if anything just to laugh at myself and try to understand you people a little more.
