I know I have the potential to be the top player in america. That is what keeps driving me, that and this game never stops changing.

I want to be the very best, like no one ever was.
To smash them is my real test, to beat them is my cause.


But in all seriousness, one of my goals is to play at least a single match of every top player.
This is includes Mango, Amarada, Dr.PP, M2k, Hbox, just to name a few, and many others as well.

what inspires me is all the cool movementy stuff you can do in this crazy game

makes me feel really accomplished when i show off to people who don't play melee and aren't used to seeing it all.

I have a hard time playing anything casually, and smash was no exception.

Most notable fox/spacie players these days inspire me, and I've always felt that "I want to be that".

"I saw Jordan win it all - I made up my mind right then: that was gonna be me."

etc. etc.

I love the game’s unique and fun style of play, which is part of my inspiration. The other part is Axe :bee:. I plan on going all the way until I can be a top player.

Currently, I am only inspired by my own ideas. As long as I continue thinking up new stuff, then I will stay inspired.

Goals:

-beat Mango and Armada more
-become confident in every single Falco matchup
-win apex

I want to achieve these goals because they are measures of my own potential to me. I want to see what I am capable of with my new mindset.


Shiz and Chops and Mango inspired me to get to where I am now, and I want to keep going past the point of being considered the best.

Those people all inspired me because of their innovative and unique Falco play that was exciting to watch.

I used to be inspired by my desire to be a recognized player.

Only main goal I have atm is to beat Jman and/or Hax in a set. Or get 1st in a tristate local lmao.

I got to where I am because I used to really enjoy trying to come up with new and different things with sheik/marth.

Vanz is my biggest inspiration, because he's was a great training partner and at one point we were basically similar skill before he just exploded and became a top player.

What inspires you to keep playing the game?
I love the game. I enjoy analyzing it and discovering every little nuance about it. Secondly, and maybe even more important, are the people I play with. Their drive and motivation keep me interested, and it continually gives me a challenge. Thirdly, trying to improve in Smash has also directly influenced my life in a positive way.

Do you have any goals you're trying to reach anymore, and why do you want to achieve them?
My goal is to win a national and help out anyone who is willing to accept help.

What inspired you to get to the level you are now, and how far do you plan on going?
Constantly learning new things, both in life and Smash. Competition always draws me in to things as well. I don't have an end goal; I'll go as far as my interest goes.

Who are your biggest inspirations and why?
Over the course of playing, I've always looked up to people who've been superior with their tech skill. As of late, I greatly appreciate anyone who reaches a top level, because I know what kind of mindset and work it takes; and I greatly respect that kind of drive.

I'm inspired by fox players like M2K, Jman and RyanEx.

Their skill and formulation of combos drives me the best I can be.

I play honestly because I love going to tournaments, playing against (new) people etc. Melee is one of my favorite games of all time.

I want to be a well-known puff main, and be recognized for my refusal to go for cheap rests (uthrow to rest, utilt, edge-hop rest on players with laggy recovery like captain falcon). Basically I want to be a non cheap puff, like mango and king when they played puff.

Eminem inspires me. I even wrote him a letter:

[collapse="My letter to Slim"]Dear Slim,

I wrote you but you still ain't callin'. I left my cell, my pager, and my home phone at the bottom. I sent you two letters back in Autumn, you must not have got 'em. There probably was a problem at the post office or somethin'. Sometimes I scribble addresses to sloppy when I jot 'em. But anyway, **** it, what's been up man? How's your daughter? My girlfriend's pregnant too, I'm about to be a father. If I have a daughter, guess what I'ma call 'er. I'ma name her Bonnie. I read about your uncle Ronnie too, I'm sorry. I had a friend kill himself over some ***** who didn't want 'em. I know you probably hear this everyday, but I'm your biggest fan. I even got the underground **** that you did with Skam. I got a room full of your posters and your pictures man. I like the **** you did with Rawkus too, that **** was fat. Anyways, I hope you get this man, hit me back, just to chat.

Truly yours, your biggest fan

This is Stan Kal[/collapse]

ARmada's my biggest inspiration

After this tournament there's going to be 40 new good Peach players
Watch me, I'm 1 of them ^.^

There are a lot of players I find very inspirative. Sometimes I feel like I don't want to practice anymore, because "what's the point?", but then I watch a match of Mango, Armada, Amsah, Hax, Hugs, and ta-da, I'm motivated.

Also, I don't really know my goals with Smash, I guess I'll discover them when the time is right. If there had to be just one, I guess it would be something like becoming the best player in the world.
