Smash Apprentice
I bought this game the very day it released on both Wii U and 3ds. I've played the game consistently since it came out. I'm terrible at it. My current FG winrate over the last 100 games is 33%, my total winrate is 45%.
-I've joined smash boards and have been lurking for a long time
-I watch every smash 4 major, as well as tons of minors
-I've read every guide I could find with the characters I use
-I've joined character relevant discords/skype groups to discuss the game with others
-I watch a lot of smash youtubers that are supposedly meant to give good advice and help you improve
-I've gone to locals, not a lot, but I go whenever I can. I've gone to more than a handful of them so it isn't anything new to me, it isn't something I have not tried.
-I ask people at locals for advice, I ask top players for advice when they stream, I am constantly playing with and against people better than me
I'm still terrible. After over 10k games played and hundreds of hours spent on this game. Most of the people on For Glory kick my ass, and For Glory is literally what people joke about when they talk about ****ty players, and after doing literally everything I can think to do to improve, I still get my ass kicked there. My win rate for the last 50 games I played is like 25% or something awful like that. The last local I went to I didn't even beat a single person. I lost my first round and then immediately lost in losers bracket. The most people I've ever beaten in a local is two. And one of the people that day was a Dedede.
Is anyone else in my position? Has anyone else given up? Should I just throw in the towel at this point? The game is honestly making me more upset than I'd like to admit. Its obviously a hobby that I care about.
I'm honestly not really looking for advice on improving. I seriously feel as if I've done everything possible to do that. I've put in the time, effort, research, practice, everything. And casual players still completely **** on me. My purpose in creating this thread is just to blow off steam, and see if anyone else can relate.
