To Smash, or not to smash?

[Reny Aclerad]

It seems like Smash has been into everyone's life wether it's to support their favorite character, or just because it's fun. But, can there really be too much smashing? I mean, I know they say, the more you eat something of the same thing, the more likely you'll get sick of it, but can it relate to this as well?

Wowe, that's a huge advertisement.

Wowe, that's a huge advertisement.

It's meant mainly to help new people navigate. Looking at your profile, you aren't exactly new so I guess you don't need it

Thank you, that's very thoughtful and I appreciate it anyway. :3

In my opinion, yes. Playing Smash too often eventually does become tedious, which is when I decide to do other things, like playing Splatoon and Mario Kart for example.

I know what you mean, like before there wasn't much other than 3d world (which honestly, beatable in a couple of days), but I'm glad Splatoon came out, it's like a fresh of breath air.

People just have different thresholds to their passion/obsession (for you it may also be something other than Smash); and I'd say about 85% of people who start playing smash seriously give up or lose interest. People like M2K and Mango will play Melee until their hands fall off while others will lose interest at the first ache or sign of discouragement.

You will of course be rewarded for dedication, passion, and time invested. But, it works much slower (or not at all) if you have to force it.

My problem in Melee is that I main too many characters because I love learning each character's advanced techs and combos (and I tire of using only 1 character). It sort of helps me since people can't pull out 8 different characters like I can at tournaments, but it's probably much better to focus your efforts and master 1 or 2 characters instead of spreading one's skill across so many.

Oh, you do? I don't really have any friends to play any offline co-op or multiplayer games, so I'm glad that Splatoon was there to give me a bit more variety in online gaming.

I feel ya, like on Smash 4, I try using almost every character to learn placements and get the feel of their animations so I can predict when my opponent will land a hit. I just don't like Rob and Zero Suit, those are the only two characters I can't play or face off. But like you said about the "reward coming in slower (or not even at all)." Like I feel like I've reached my peak and I can't get any better, I see that but maybe like I said before, I just need a breather or two.

Don't worry Frizz, I can be a friend to play online Co-op with you. :3

Really? I'd appreciate that very much, thanks. The more friends I have, the less time I have to play games by myself.

There can never be too much smashing for me if it's Melee.

What if it's not melee? o:

Saying I can Smash for a long time is a huge understatement. Whether its playing with my friends, playing against CPUs, training in Training Mode, trying out and mastering every character, trying out custom specials, training amiibos, going online and getting destroyed, staring at trophies, gambling in Trophy Rush, listening to its wonderful soundtrack, taking pictures, watching replays, attempting to make stages in Stage Builder, gambling in Special Orders, attempting to complete all the god-forsaken in-game challenges, making Mii Fighters, deleting Mii Fighters so I could make more Mii Fighters, watching Mii Fighters fight one another, or grinding for custom specials in Classic Mode over and over and over and over and over again in the 3DS version...I spend a lot of time in Smash. But eventually, I'll get frustrated or tired and play something else. Thinking about it, I mostly play Smash Bros by myself...
