I want to theory craft how to proceed with the weekly improvement blog. I’m surprised how much traction the blog actually got. Seriously. The blog gets decent hits for how irrelevant and self-serving it is for me. It started as an exercise to help myself improve at smash and writing and I think it hasContinue reading “Improving the Smash improvement blog.”

Wrapping up Glitch-Infinite
Glitch Infinite! The Capcom/Fighting game-themed event hosted by VGBC was held this weekend in Maryland.

The Holiday Week 12/20/21 – 12/26/21
It was the week of Christmas and all through the venue, not a person was approaching. Forward wasn’t on the menu… I did fight Kles this week. The Wii Fit that camps on ledge. Fun times. This was a rough week. I think my biggest takeaway from the week is that my mentality still needsContinue reading “The Holiday Week 12/20/21 – 12/26/21”
Jumping back in!
12/13/21-12/19/21 It’s nice to be back. Smash has been such a constant in my life, especially recently, and missing a week of tournaments was rough. Not just because I missed playing smash, but because I missed my friends! So I didn’t have Covid, thankfully, but I was really sick last week. My asthma was soContinue reading “Jumping back in!”

I went to IPA and CSU this week, and after my first match at IPA, I knew somethingContinue reading “I wasn’t feeling it this week… November 29th to December 5th”
All Denver, all week.
November 22nd to the 28th This week was an all Denver experience. Haven’t done two Denver tourneys in a week since around Summer. This was a good week overall but I have a loss I’m not thrilled about. Good thing progress isn’t linear! IPA started off my week. I wasn’t thrilled about my placement lastContinue reading “All Denver, all week.”
Smash Improvement Blog. Week of November 15th to November 21st.
Return to Denver! That picture is from a really cool alley next to the Denver Local I went to this week. I’m no photographer, but I love this area. This alley with all the neat graffiti is a nice place to ponder your life after you lose to a Krool. I miss the city. BeingContinue reading “Smash Improvement Blog.
