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.
