While I remember playing Melee on a friends GameCube back in the day, it’s only the last year or two that I’ve really gotten into the game, since I got Ultimate. About six months ago I started going to my locals, and I’m still going 0-2 every time (there are some word-class players here, FML). That said I’ve been putting some work in and I’ve definitely improved. I main everyone’s favourite interstellar bounty hunter, Samus Aran.
Tournaments can be demoralizing when you end up playing against some cracked players. I have realized that I am more of a friends only smash player, although part of me is still drawn to tournaments.
I joke, but it’s actually kind of inspiring playing with these people. They’re all really good at identifying my weaknesses and then exploiting them ruthlessly, but afterwards they tell me what it is I need to improve on and I come away motivated to not make the same mistakes again.
I’ll probably never be a top player, but in a few months of playing against these guys I’ve improved dramatically.
Do you know about https://smashcords.com? I don’t know how you’ve looked for tournaments before, but if you join your region’s Discord channel then you might find one anyway, or at least some people in your area you can play online with.
I’ll start.

I’d gladly go to tournaments if there were any in my city. Yeah, I’d get my ass kicked but it’d be a nice excuse to play some smash

Thank you for the resource, unfortunately nothing there too. I found something in a city near mine, but I doubt I’ll go just to get my ass kicked
Fair enough!
