Oh yes, I might drop a few names or so (Maybe not alot) but then again they're probably used to it.
Ever since the first time Sonic was announced for Brawl, I vowed to make him one of my characters in some way. Before I entered the scene, I asked myself will I be a follower or will I be a leader? Will I be one of the Brawl players who sets an example,go to the top and be feared or will I remain lost in obscurity forever? I decided to actually do something useful for myself for a change and go to my first smashfest in Brooklyn, it was during the time when everyone was importing Brawl. Needless to say, I didn't do as good as I hoped (I did OK, seeing that I couldn't get Brawl until the U.S. release date). I used only Sonic that day, I fought Ninjalink that day too (and got ***** by the way). I despaired and called Sonic a low tier character and was about to give up. The only thing he told me was "It's because you make him look like a low tier". Those words ringed in my head for a good minute, so I stepped my Sonic up even further ever since that day. I didn't have alot of money, so I couldn't go to tourneys. I was limited to Smashfest, so I worked with that (and get owned by Silven until I got better).
In the summer, I went to a smashfest in the Bronx. This one had alot more players and I did a better job. At the time I also picked up on ICs. I knew that ICs weren't popular (Chaingrab lolz) but I stuck to them anyway sinced I liked them and were my previous characters from Melee. I wanted to join a random Brawl crew battle but I was pretty much ignored. During my convo with Jash (He was a Y.Link player in Melee and is now a Toon Link)I spoke about my gripes about being left out. He told me that I should put myself out there a bit more (Which is true, I mean you gotta place good in tourneys right?)so I got over it and continued on my merry way. I sorta made a name for myself, I didn't even know people knew about me, it made me feel like I at least accomplished something like putting my name out there for a bit. I did some online stuff too, though I wasn't too fond of Brawl's laggy WiFi. Despite that, I wasn't even payed attention to online, and even though I won some tourneys online, I was given quite a hard time due to IC chaingrabs or other stuff I did that fell into the spam category with other characters >_> (Then again, WiFi doesn't count so i didn't bother me)
Now recently I won an offline tourney, it was a decent size and it was a good start at least. I recently heard of MalcolmM's exploits with Sonic, although I did get jealous because I couldn't go to said tourneys and it was my starting dream when I went to Brawl. Though seeing Sonic starting to get respect does put a smile on my face. I m writing this because, I'm just sick of being ignored. I keep hearing about the same people over and over. So I'm leaving one chapter behind and now I embark on a new mission. I don't know what's in store for me or whether I'll be known for Sonic or another character. I was once told that I would actually get far, so let's put those words to the test. I know that I sound sarcastic when it come's to top players (For instance in my convo in AiB, I was real unentusiastic about Atomsk and man I never heard the end of it, I was actually called ignorant even though I never once said I was better). Don't get me wrong I show my respects and I like new friends, but let me make this clear. I'm nobody's fanboy (Well just a friendly face but still), if you cross my path, I will take you down. I refuse to accept mediocrity and stay where everyone is. I'm going to take my rightful place as one of the higher players that get respected.
Heed my words, I will not be denied. Starting now, I will not run away. This time, I'll fight no matter what.
