Good evening.
I come here today with some sort of, um...rant? I don't know if I can really call it that. I'm not exactly complaning about anything, but I don't exactly feel proud about myself either.
Let me begin.
To be honest, I am somewhat looking for advice here- Smash advice. But I think this would require adding some personal context, just so you know where I'm coming from.
I've always been an underachiever. And I've never really been bothered by that. Everything in my life, my performances reguarding studies and in this case, Smash, has been mediocre to outright bad. However, as of late, as I began growing older, I started asking myself "Have I really not done anything I can be proud of? Do I really want to keep this on?". I went on realizing that this is actually bothering me to some point, and that my mindset of satisfying with so little is flawed and mediocre.
Reguarding Smash, or at least Brawl (which is the one I currently play competetively), I am so used to losing, that I've come to the point where I aim for almost-winning against my opponent (at least when my opponent is competetent and better than me, which is currently the case). Because of this...flawed mindset, I think that is the reason why I tend to do so bad in tournaments. I just keep satisfying if I am able to almost-beat my opponent to the point that I think I got stuck in some level where I can't advance.
I'd really like to hear the opinion of a winner...this has got to change. I want to be good at something for once in my life, and this is what I like.
