I know that many smashers are able to balance going to school, having a job, and are still traveling to tournaments, but for the many of us who are bad at getting motivated for something that isn't that fun or interesting, I have a question. ssbmdemon18 recently brought up that a lot of us really just want to play smash and live away from our parents... but in order to move away from your parents you'd have to get a good job in order to support yourself. He said:
"You could get together with 2 or 3 friends and just hey bro want to get minimum wage jobs and get an apartment and play smash bros and hang out? then 5 years later you can finally say 'forget this, time to go to college and get a real job'"
which to me kind of sounds like a great idea. Of course, both of us are at least somewhat responsible, we both attend college, he also juggles a job, and I struggle to get one. Not to mention there's always the possibility of doing just that while still attending school.
I've also come across a lot of smashers who have stopped playing competitive smash but are still partially involved in the community and still enjoy the game. Older or jaded smashers, I guess. They say the game doesn't hold the same draw for them as it used to, but they'll still play friendlies and ask for advice late into the night. Sometimes it's obvious that someone has reached a plateau but is too stubborn to admit it. They would quit due to a build up of frustration. Other times I think it can be attributed to changing interests associated with age and maturing... but we still have players like CogSmooch (who is married) who still enters tournaments and doesn't mind traveling out of state as long as it doesn't conflict with his family/job. As the current generation of smashers starts to grow older, I've been wondering...
why the girl is green greens still debated as a legal stage in tournament?
srs. ban it. it's dumb.
