Make sure you have all of your personal belongings then ghost her. Why give her an explanation when she clearly doesnt respect you at all? It sounds like she wouldnt give a shit if you explained to her that you caught her and all of that. Even if by chance she does feel guilt, her mother and whomever else will just convince her that shes not in the wrong.

She doesn't deserve an explanation or closure to your relationship. Just get your stuff, tell her its over, and never speak to this disgusting thing again. Whatever emotions you feel, channel them into something positive. Focus on yourself and I promise you that the right woman will come along.

I hate Bowser, he only has to win neutral half as many times as you, lives forever, has a fast and safe command grab, a frame 6 up b or something stupid (so just like G&W you can't touch his shield), and even though it's easily avoidable his down b breaks full shield with one hit (especially bad for Puff). Only bad thing about him is he's combo food

Tell me about it. Ive been practicing Sheik and its a lot of work to kill Bowser only for him to kill me at 60% with almost any of his moves.

tbh like 99% of the roster has some stupid BS move or two that's too good compared to the rest or their kit (for instance my own main's down-B, doctor tornado) but i'm fine with most of the roster, the easier answer is to say who i can't stand lately, which would be mario, luigi, diddy, ness, g&w, zss, puff, and bowser (easily the best heavy), and tbh hero and terry are pretty much just walking jank.

you'd think i'd hate the likes of lucina and joker and wolf and such, and i do, lol- but fighting them isn't so bad because they're at least straightforward

oh and fuck samus, forward aerial: the character, wow cool

You just have to understand the match up and know each character's strength and weaknesses which is asking a lot considering how large the roster is but it's doable considering that you run into the same 15 characters or so online consistently.

I play an old school 2D fighting game called Vampire Savior made by Capcom. It's like Street Fighter but with Halloween characters. Anyways, it's a small roster of 16 characters but you run into the same three or four characters online every single time because of how OP and braindead easy they are to play. A character called Sasquatch has high health, high damage output, unreadable mixups, unfathomable movement speed with shorthops, and so on. His only weakness is his slow movement speed and poor air game. Another character called Lord Raptor, though hard to play, has an answer for everything and can be played any way effectively.

It's annoying as fuck running into these characters constantly because I'm at a huge disadvantage due to their kits are 10x better but I just deal with it. If the character doesn't have any exploitable weakness, you just have to outplay the opponent. Easier said than done. Actually, one of the best players in the world who plays Vampire Savior mains the worst character in the game and he has won major tournaments with said character.

Winning with low tiers is basically fighting an uphill battle but it's incredibly more satisfying than playing a high/top tier character and winning. Getting angry will just make you play more poorly. Don't think about winning the match for now. Just think about improving so that you can do better next time. Helps me.

Golden Deer is more classic FE than Black Eagles Edelgard. Just because Black Eagles Edelgard has a dragon for the final boss doesn't make the evil route anything like traditional FE.

Just pick your favorite house and go from there. If you cant decide, Blue Lions is more character driven while Golden Deer is more lore/world building driven. Black Eagles feels more like standard Fire Emblem but with worse writing than the other two houses.

This game has plenty of replay value so dont worry about missing out because youll likely do one or two more playthroughs if you like the game enough.

Its a fun game so just sit back and enjoy the nearly 70 hour long first play through.

Maybe consider a different perspective, maybe you know you are a lot better than them skill wise, but still give it your all and win constantly so they do this as the result.

It's like when I play games with my wife, she's not good, really at any game. I don't go hard and try to win, I sandbag a bit and let her win some so she doesn't feel bad. It sounds like you were fine with stomping them into the ground until they started doing this. You don't have to be the best, just because you are. Sometimes fun outweighs winning.

Nah, theyve been doing this for a long time. I sandbag heavily when we play the game. Ill even refrain from blocking and purposely eat hits. I dont care about winning as said in the OP. Im here to have fun but that cant happen given the circumstances. Its not even limited to Smash Bros. Any multiplayer game, Im the guy who has to be taken out first even if Ive never played the game myself.

I probably wouldnt be so annoyed if they didnt feel the need to brag about beating me. It gets old fast. If I had a friend who was far better than me at something and I cared that much about winning against him, I would work on beating him myself. Not teaming up to do a 4,5,6 or sometimes 7v1 then feel amazing about winning in that scenario.

Tournament players know to let loose and just enjoy the game casually with friends. These dudes take winning in a video game with friends as if its life or death. When they get heated about a loss, I constantly remind them its just a video game. Its not serious lol

Its annoying. I havent played Smash Bros. in a while with the guys I hang out with but now I remember why I never had fun doing so in the first place.

I dont mind losing since its just a video game but its these dudes take the game mad seriously at times. As soon as the match starts, everyone guns for me. If I had a huge life lead, its whatever. Makes sense. Not the case here. From the start to the end, I always have to be the first to be taken out otherwise I would win.

I am better at the game but its not like I try hard. I try to hold back without making it obvious I am. When I play with them, I do it for fun and laughs. I think having a good time is better than pure winning when playing with friends. However, these dudes are constantly cheering against me when its 1v1, putting me down, training amiibos to beat me, celebrating when Im taken out, teaming up against me. I just want to have whacky fun. Who cares about taking things seriously, picking viable stages, no items or stage hazards. This isnt a tournament lol. If someone was better than me, I would not team up with 5 other guys and try to get a win. If I really cared about winning that much, I would get good enough to best that player 1 on 1. I dont brag about winning or being better since its just a stupid video game. When I lose, Im dead silent nor do I make excuses. Whether I lose or win, who cares. However, they love to brag and gloat to me whenever they win.

Its so tiresome to point where Im not really having fun and Id rather be somewhere else but its my game so I dont want to come across as an ass who leaves and they have to call it a night. Is all Smash sessions with local friends like this? Im just looking for goofy fun. Ill play online or enter a local tournament if I want to play seriously.

People take video games way too seriously.

I think the issue now is that it doesn't seem very much like a home console Pokemon...just something you'd expect on the 3DS just with higher resolution. It doesn't feel ambitious enough for being the first mainline console Pokemon, but it's still alright, is what I'm getting at.

Yes, this does fee up an upscale 3DS game. I probably wouldnt have any legit complaints if this was $40 or something.

Ive put in about 10 hours. Have three badges and a full team. Ive been mostly messing around in Wild Area and looking for favorites. The game has a solid foundation going for it. GameFreak just needs to perfect it which is a long shot.

The Wild Area is a great concept. I like what the game has done with it so far. Picking and choosing which Pokemon I want to encounter is more convenient than pure random encounter though Im glad both options are present for the player. The Raid Battles are neat though I havent done them much so I cant give a thorough opinion.

I like how some of the towns look in terms of design though I wish there was more to do while exploring the towns. Aside from Hop, I like a majority of the cast. Nothing spectacular but they are fine. Hop is annoying. Dont care for Team Yell but I like Marnie.

Wish the game was a little more difficult but Ive had some close calls with the gym leaders mainly due to not having any type advantage. I want to point out that I am limiting myself somewhat in order to provide more of a challenge. Would be really nice if GF had difficulty options or something..

The whole Dexit business and general GF laziness is still inexcusable but I think the game is okay so far.

Im rocking Raboot, Corvisquire, Hattena, Impidimp, Vespiqueen, and Froslass. Was supposed to have Galar Corsola and Frosmoth but I decided to go with old favorites.
