We’ve all been there with smash. I’m a captain falcon/ridley main myself. Keep playing smash for fun man, us mid falcons got to stick together! Who knows, maybe something will click one day. But good luck with Guitly Gear. I expect to see you playing at Evo!
That's funny, fellow Falconer. When a buddy and I came late to the game CF was my main while my buddy mained Ridley. And I've since picked one up that almost rivals his, though my main has been Palu for a while now.
I played a few tourneys back in the day, and played smash ultimate since day one. Gotta say I got burnt out of it after a while, mainly because a combination of playing a ton in college and going against the same few meta characters. I’ve had a lot more fun playing retro games lately! I highly encourage you to try some of the emulators, cause I’ve thoroughly enjoyed playing tons of new games!
It’s just the game itself. After a while you just get bored and nothing appeals to you in the long run. There’s no reason to continue or force yourself to do so. Let it go, just play other games. Also with age you just move on from different things. Nothing is forever.
@slatanata22 I’ve enjoyed melee a lot since taking a step back from ultimate. I’m absolutely not a comp level player in melee, but it’s a super fun game even casually. To be honest, the GameCube catalog is full of incredible games in general.
