Frustration in Smash Ultimate

I’ll start by saying sorry for not publishing a blog last week. I’ve been very busy but one of the things keeping me busy I can talk about now! I’m a part of Heroes eSports! I’m very excited to be a part of their team. Their members include Smash players like SuperGirlKels and Kiwi, playersContinue reading “Frustration in Smash Ultimate”

Pound 2022 Smash Ultimate Wrap Up

Pound 2022 was a fantastic follow-up to Genesis 8 the week before. We saw a lot of surprising people in the top 32 that we haven’t seen before. A lot of storylines were advanced including runbacks for recent encounters and a long-time coming face-off between a rising prince and a long-established king. Glutonny would followContinue reading “Pound 2022 Smash Ultimate Wrap Up”

Mindset and Smash Ultimate. 4/13/22 – 4/19/22

Genesis 8 was this weekend and a lot of my friends went. That meant locals were pretty light on the top talent. I went to one local, Games Ahoy, and I got 3rd. I made it all the way to the winners’ finals beating some good local players and then I got utterly run overContinue reading “Mindset and Smash Ultimate. 4/13/22 – 4/19/22”

Smash Ultimate at Genesis 8

Genesis 8 was this weekend and it turned out to be a real return to form for Smash Ultimate in more ways than one. It was a huge tournament with nearly 2000 entrants including some of the best talent worldwide. There was a noticeable lack of Japanese talent which Genesis is usually known for, butContinue reading “Smash Ultimate at Genesis 8”

Consistency in Smash Ultimate 4/6/22 – 4/12/22

I’m so upset. I’m frustrated with myself. I performed to a standard I’m not happy with. At GamesAhoy I didn’t lose to anyone new, but my losses aren’t what I was upset about. I’m upset with how I played. Yesterday was CSU and I did lose to people I’m not super happy about, but again,Continue reading “Consistency in Smash Ultimate 4/6/22 – 4/12/22”

VOD review in Smash Ultimate 3/30/22 – 4/5/22

I didn’t go to a tournament this past week. Every tourney I could have gone to was canceled so I don’t have a bracket to talk about. That doesn’t mean I didn’t play smash though. I had a few grind sessions. One of them was with Miloquinn, a Peach from Nothern Colorado who is superContinue reading “VOD review in Smash Ultimate 3/30/22 – 4/5/22”

Delfino Maza RETA 2022. Is the King back?

Delfino Maza RETA was this weekend and this Mexican invitational featured some of the best players from all over Mexico and abroad. Mexico as a region is being talked about a lot recently. It’s home to the top 2 players in the world for Ultimate, MkLeo and Spargo, as well as some of the strongestContinue reading “Delfino Maza RETA 2022. Is the King back?”

Fundamentals in Smash Ultimate 3/23/22 – 3/29/22

It’s hard to say what kind of week I had. On the one hand, I went 1-2 at a weekly in Greely, but my one win was on Acid, the top seed of the tournament and a top 5 player in our State. I also got top 8 at IPA which is my first topContinue reading “Fundamentals in Smash Ultimate 3/23/22 – 3/29/22”

Focusing Under Pressure and Autopiloting in Smash 3/16/22 – 3/22/22

This week I only attended one tournament, that tournament being Games Ahoy on Thursday. It was light on attendance which isn’t new but this week it was extra bad because there was an event in Denver that took most of our local talent. I, being poor, didn’t go to Denver and was one of theContinue reading “Focusing Under Pressure and Autopiloting in Smash 3/16/22 – 3/22/22”
