Cruxis, I don't get why you even go to brawl tourneys. Even money wise its a huge gamble for you. Quit or don't, don't just go for the money only if is easy to get. That's just plain ridiculous especially since time-wise and risk-wise smash is a pretty bad job. Over time you will lose to more people and will quit anyways if you continue like this, or you can start trying to improve again.
Its easy to believe talent gets other people everywhere, but its not how it works. Why play the game if you don't like to do so if even money wise its a risk.
the fact is youre never 100% guaranteed to win in a tournament
you might fu
ck up and SD, or you might not be on your game, or someone just might get lucky and beat you.
no matter what tournament i go to, there will always be people who have the potential to beat me. now theres a difference between potential, and guarantee.
holy and ally are guaranteed to beat me. theres no question about that. dont feed me sh
it like i can possibly beat them if i try, because i cant. thats a reality, and im not going to lie to myself
people like doc, ace, hype, and joe all have good chances of beating me, but not on the scale of ally and holy. there is still a chance to beat them if i play my best, as i have come extremely close/actually have beaten them before.
and youre right, there is a risk, but the reward is worth that risk.
especially since Gi's venue is the closest to my house, so it costs the least to get to.
i am not going to waste my time trying to improve my skills, because the fact is in a few more months im leaving the country. it doesnt matter if i become the best player in ontario, im leaving regardless, so im not going to waste my time.
