My Goodbye to Smash 4.

---

‪alright, i’ve thought about it for long enough, so i feel comfortable to speak about it once more. Although i’m upset/disagree with my placing and some things about the NER, i’m extremely proud of myself for being able to make it on in the first place.

I’ve been playing since ‬2015, and only went to SCS, up until 2017 when i went to my first WEEKLY, being PCG, which i got 3rd at, beating (imo) really good players for the time, including Nuggetz, who went on to place higher than me on the NER, and have an amazing smash 4 run if his own. ‬

‪from then on i was able i was introduced to more of NES4 and met Chippy, who was kinda the turning point for me in Smash 4. He housed me for Shine 2017, my first major, which i could never thank him enough for.‬ eventually i found myself more a part of the community, and had felt like i had finally made friends in the scene. then this year, i finally had what i would call my breakthrough.

I finally started getting more wins and placing better at tournaments, and during the summer i won my first PCG AND Oneup, which i’m still very proud of, even if it’s a weekly. A lot of things changed for me in the summer. I started attending bp, i had my breakout season, and me and Riley started dating. and god damn am i happy with him.

like i mentioned, i had my breakout season, and did way better than i had ever imagined. I remember back in august i was telling riley that i was upset i wasn’t gonna make PR because i didn’t have that many wins, then the final week of the season came and i got like 5 PR wins and just barely made it. And even though a lot of people then finally called it quits, i didn’t want to stop there. I continued to place well at the little amount of tournaments i went to, and for my last hoo-rah at Overclocked IV, i beat ralphie in one of my proudest moments. I may not have achieved much in smash 4, and i only hit my peak at the very end of the game, i’m still proud of my accomplishments, how far i’ve come, and my placing on the NER, being #47th.

Thank you all so much for sticking with me these last 4 years. Thank you smash 4 for being a good time sometimes. Shoutouts to anyone whos ever driven my ass to a tournament, i physically wouldn’t have been able to do it without you. Shoutouts to Riley for being so loving and supportive over the last 4 months. I wouldn’t be able to do it without you. i hope i can stay relevant in ultimate.

thanks for reading i guess
