Everyone needs goals! Goals help you identify why you're doing something, and when you reach a goal, it helps you feel a sense of accomplishment.
So what's everyone's goals!
Short term, Midterm, and Long term.

My only goal is to be the very best like no one ever was
And travel across the land? Searching far and wide?

Everyone has pretty similar goals and they're all really good.

@Jmoney, It would be really awesome to be recognized as a top level international player. I would like to be at that level some day. I want to be able to play against all the people who play smash competitively - I should start keeping a log of who I've played and when. :D

Short-term:
win E-52 doubles with M2K on Saturday
improve my Fox, become a smarter player

Mid-Term:
meet a lot of players and become friends with them, gaining insight from people who have different viewpoints on the game and different playstyles.
create a program or spreadsheet that calculates frames of hitstun based on stale moves queue, what move is used by what character against what character at what % and whether or not they were crouch canceling.
form/organize a Melee crew in Rolla, MO where I'll be attending college from the players who are already there. lead the crew to host monthly or bimonthly tournaments, travel to tournaments in the MW with this crew, improve the crew as I'm pretty sure I'll be one of the best players if not the best player when I start there.

Long-Term:
I want to take Donkey Kong to a level no player has ever taken him before.
Contribute greatly to the expansion of the Melee community, via MBR if I'm accepted or other means.

Short term, I want to make it to the bracket in a tournament, while keeping on working on my techskill and reading abilities. Also, play as many other players as I can, and travel across the land and beyond.

Mid term, I want to be able to do pretty much any move in the game consistently, including useless flashy stuff, alongside with a solid mental game.

Long term will depend on a lot of things and is clearly not decided yet, but I think it will involve being the best player in the world at some point.

It's interesting to see newbies goals v. names like PP and Kage.

What goals do you guys think you've accomplished already?
I know a long time ago one of my goals was to beat my scrubby scrubby friend. At the time it was all encompassing, but now it's just a normal occurrence.

What have you guys accomplished that makes you proud?

Spreading my name as The Warrior somehow through out the world (I don't even remember when people started calling me that).. and defeating the best in the world when he used Falco/Jiggs on me. And then he no longer used either since. Ya that's pretty damn cool I'd say. =) Mango hates me apparently, am i the source of the sandbag Mango? lol.

Long Term: Compete in a Melee tournament

Smash is virtually non-existant where I live, and I would atleast like to be able compete in one Melee tournament with some other people, because I'm sick of only doing friendlies against my brother who completely hates the game. Black Ops is everywhere, whereas Melee is nowhere. :(
