Shame on all of you missing this post:
I love brawl can i enter the new tourney
Anyone is always welcome to join in the tournies.
"Life" Rant:
I can feel this wonderful world slipping away from me. Smash Bros is slowly dieing on me despite my despair at observing this fact. This is mostly due to one immense factor: my group never plays it. NEVER. With Melee we were all in high school in the beginning, so we dedicated oodles of time to it. That carried well into the college years. Now everyone's sort of working their different ways while the new one came out so it's never really picked up, and it's so far beyond the every day event it used to be that it's completely non-existent. The only play-time I get in is with you guys, seriously, and I'm very rarely around any of you mostly due to lack of motivation and my own laziness.
It's not that I don't like you guys. Sure, you've all got your annoying things, just like ALL my other friends, but there really is no hate what-so-ever. I would love to play Smash with all of you every day I possibly could. But I'm being realistic, and that's not going to happen. I do things with my friends, the one's I've known since elementary school, and that won't change for as long as I can keep us all together.
I will still be attending tournies though, as many as I can, so you probably won't notice a difference. This is all my end, and me facing the truth. My skill will most likely stop developing, probably completely. It already looks like other fighters are lurking in the shadows of this group. There are reasons I like Smash Bros and won't play any other fighter (that currently exists). I've realized I'll never deeply follow ANY hobby without this close group of friends of mine with me the whole way, and this competitive scene isn't something they're into. If they loved it as much as I do, we'd be hosting SmashFests all the time and be all over everything. This isn't just Smash either, videogames in general are rolling down this same hill. It's not real-life moving in (well, not entirely) as plenty of other time-sinks still occupy a vast amount of my time (glad I'm of WoW though, holy ****).
Again, I will still try to make monthly tournies, still lurk and post here in the forums, still keep the FC thread updated, and keep my fun, number-cruching rankings going. But I also realize I'll most likely end up slowly fading further and further from Smash Bros until it is eventually no more. I just thought all you, my friends, should know.
But while I am still around, and for as long as I continue to be so, MY PIT IS TAKING YOU
ALL DOWN!!!!1! (starting with you, G&W)
