So yesterday a group of guys I know decided to have a small smash brothers (Wii U) tournament with a 5 dollar entry fee and I entered despite not having played the game in like 6-7 years on the game cube. Suffice to say I went out quickly going 0-2 0-2. and because I didn't know anything I ended up playing with the controls slightly different in each game because on the first game I think I used someone's custom settings. I also didn't learn you could use the c stick for supers until after the tournament ended so I spent the games mashing B and wondering why it wasn't doing what I wanted it to do. apparently some guys drove 3.5 hrs for it which is a little insane to me since the price was like 1 Amiibo or something like that (I had to leave to work for an hour and I missed the prizes being handed out.

because it was 2 people trying to run 3 consecutive tournaments (smash and 2 different magic tourneys) it really wasn't that organized. technically you were supposed to run tournament maps but no one really cared. also people joined late and got seeded into the loser bracket (which ended up not mattering because 1st place was the only one that got a prize) and one guy effectively got either a 1 or 2 round bye in the loser's bracket because they forgot about him.

If anyone's curious I played Lucina and my first match was against a Kirby and my second against little mac with a completely different controller that seemed to refuse to do what I told it to do(which is understandable since I didn't know how to do anything really.)

Overall though It was pretty fun and I had a good time. That being said my competitive smash career is probably over since I don't feel like donating money to lose over and over again and my finances are in a place where buying a system isn't really an option.

Not entering the tournament and just watching others play is quite fun as well. You can save the 5 bucks for some food.
4v4 is a battle of who has the better computer.

You got destroyed in a game you've never played before, while using controllers you've never held before. Not surprising
Glad you had fun though!

Sounds like it was over 6-7 years ago, when you stopped playing Smash...

It's likely that you don't have to buy a system to play more. Just find out more about your local smash group and play with them, they'll probably have a system you can play with them on. And your competitive smash "career" doesn't have to come to an end. Just play friendlies at the tournaments until you think you can make a run for your money.

yeah I'm planning to do that. I just meant that I was probably not going to be paying to enter any more tournaments at least not in the near future

By competitive I meant actually paying money to enter tournaments but yeah. My playing smash seriously days are long behind me.

I ruined smash for myself by trying to get into it by practicing tech a lot and then getting butt-hurt when I still couldn't beat that many people
Why would I play sctoo when I can play BW?
