Look, I know people who are pros at Smash. They have nothing to brag about. There is one guy here who has repeatedly came up to my dorm just to brag and beat Matt and I at the game, but I’m not going to plaster his name on this forum because that’s just unnecessary.
So what if they’re bragging about winning money? Do you think that means they really are? They brag because they have nothing better to do here. If someone randomly shows up at this school who is fairly well at the game, they flock over to that person. If they were “pros” like they claimed to be, they wouldn’t even show up at the LANs because they’d be in actual ranked tournaments.
The best thing to do is just to have fun and simply ignore those kinds of people. I know braggarts are really annoying and all, but I’ve come to the conclusion that it’s more fun just to take pleasure in the fact that they’re making a good time into a stupid competition to prove themselves to people who couldn’t care less.
Oh Lawd, I hope you’re not talking about me…I found Matt because I wanted to play smash and have friends…any “bragging” is satirical. I’m no pro, and you even said there are no pros at the lan. I’m a competitive player. I win a bit of money sometimes, but the pros would destroy me. For the record, people here have called me a “pro” but I’ve never said that about myself. Also, I loved playing you guys because you’re probably the best here, not because I have some crazy ego or something…there are plenty of people I could find to beat if that were true. I play you guys because you’re you, not because of Smash. Sorry if you thought/think? I’m a douche because I joke around sometimes… There’s a difference between kneeing someone and saying “ahhh, i’m so good!” as a jest and actually being an *edited*.
