Super Smash Bros.

What is something you have enjoyed about being in MACU Esports?

I love the sense of community here. Everyone gets along and roots for each other’s success. There is no jealousy on the team, which is a valuable asset.

What has been one of your most memorable experiences on the Super Smash Bros. varsity team?

Having fun in the crew battles and watching Ben demolish that Daisy player.

What is one of your biggest accomplishments in Super Smash Bros?

I am very new to the competitive scene, so I have little tournament experience.  However, I have placed 49th at a 500+ entry tournament, with my two losses being to globally ranked opponents. I have also placed in top 64 of several other 500+ entrant tournaments.

What drives you to get better?

I don’t know how to compete without trying to be the best. I genuinely love the game, and the rush I get from winning is indescribable. I think I have potential to be very good at this game and want to prove my skill to the world.

Anything else you'd like to add?

To anyone who wants to be great, put in the time, and you will get there. Smash is amazing because it allows players from all different ages and backgrounds to come together and compete. Study your VODs, watch videos, lab training mode combos, and don’t ever stop trying to improve.

What has been one of your most memorable experiences on the Super Smash Bros. varsity team?

My most memorable experience so far was making the National playoffs for Super Smash Bros. As a first-year player picking up the game, I feel I contributed a lot to the team and enjoyed learning all that I did. 

What drives you to get better?

Defeat has driven me to become a better player. The more I lose, the more I feel I should practice, because once you’re at the top, what is the point of practice? 

Anything else you'd like to add?

I’ve enjoyed my first year on the Esports team, and I’m ready for the next one!
