Rant / Other Why did it turn out so wrong?

[Oz o:]

I cared so much about this game, about trying to improve and get better. Stuff like that should come naturally, and I was very enthusiastic the first year. Quarantine and wifi just made me really bitter at the game, and my mental state kept getting worse since. And as much as I'd like to say it's just wifi, I'm playing just as bad and worse than ever offline. It made me so bitter how everyone seems to do better and do well, like they just "get it", and I've put in so much effort and I'm only playing worse.

It's like the whole Universe is telling me to quit, and I hate it. I hate that I really want to be good at something, and there's signs everywhere telling me to let go. This was supposed to be a game. "My" game. It shouldn't have to be this hard to simply enjoy.

Their is no need to be glum. Let us be systematic... Here!

I sometimes feel like this too. Try taking a break you seem like you might be burnt out. You also could have developed bad habits from playing online. You will get through this slump!

 

[Nah]

It's going to take time to undo the damage that online play has done, you can't really expect to get back to the point you were at pre-pandemic in a short time. Something else to keep in mind is that even if doesn't work out in the end, there's still the next Smash game. You don't have to insist on Ultimate being the one.
