I prepare for tournaments the same way I prepare for my high school math tests. Playing elite smash :c

4 person free for alls on elite smash used to annoy me, but then I realized... Beating 3 opponents gives you more GSP!

just found some rocks in my stocking :c hope everyone is having a merry Christmas!

I'm not a tyrant, I don't care if you wish to surpass me. I'm not a savior either, I won't help you if you get left behind. I'm going to keep moving forward until I reach the peak. If we share the same destination, my only advice is to not let my back side get out of reach.

Some people ask me why I don't pop off. It's not that I have anything against it, I just haven't had a reason to yet.

I choose to use my own tag on elite smash. I'm not afraid of getting recognized. I'm not afraid of receiving messages. I'm not afraid of losing. If you can't even play with those stakes, then how are you going to manage in tournament?

When you throw a rock into water, it creates a splash. The energy from the splash gets converted into waves that travel outwards until its energy runs out or there's no more water. This ranking is merely a ripple in the world pond, a warning of the tsunami to come.

Truth is I forget most people I meet at tournaments, even our locals. This doesn't bother me at all though. Why? It's not on me to remember, it's on you to be unforgettable.

I see so much arguing over rulesets and seeding, I've never looked at either in my life. To live free of these trivial discussions is the earned right of the strong. A better seed or stage list won't solve your problems, but getting stronger will.

As our strength grows, so do the expectations. To cope some resort to insulting themselves or making excuses, anything to make losing seem less significant. Not me though. If you're overly concerned with shortening the fall, you weren't going to climb that high to begin with.

Animals are known for their sharp survival instincts. Dolphins detect predators from miles away. Snakes avoid earthquakes before they occur. Smashers also possess such an ability. For example when I enter a venue players' smiles disappear before they even finish their friendly.

There's been a lot of speculation as to why top players haven't been attending the weeklies. I'm surprised it's taken this long for somebody to ask directly

Nobody actually believes it when you say you "weren't trying" or "didn't feel like winning" Are you going to say that at majors too or have you avoided them because you're "not ready yet"? I stake my pride and experience on every set. To get real results, you've got to get real

Our brains are hard wired to respond to the sound of babies crying. The result is an ear-piercing distress in which nobody can ignore. Unless you are me, I'm built different. I'm so used to my opponents crying the sound practically puts me to sleep

Tired of the drama

Splish splash motherfuckers

Updated my tier list.

Thanks for the grad quote! Ouch?! !!!
