I met Hbox at a petting zoo. He was talking with one of the baby goats and struggling to hold back tears. I asked him, "are you doing okay, friend?" He shook his head solemnly. "Everyone forgets that goats are herd animals. We're not meant to be alone."

I noticed a glint of sadness in Hbox's eyes. I imagined him as an actor trapped on a stage, forced to perform for an audience he grew weary of. “I'm here for you,” I wanted to say, but it was too late...Hbox had already begun his pop off, killing everyone in the first few rows.
Inside every Smash player there are two wolves. One is a racist and the other is an incel. Some people called "furries" have a third wolf inside of them, but for different reasons. There's also a secret fourth wolf that is a literal wolf. His name is Odin and he's also racist.
A big fear of mine is realizing too late that I’ve spent the best years of my life grinding a video game that won’t pay the bills and doesn't make me happy. My greatest fear, though, is that people won’t be ready to handle my schmovement for at least another decade.
"Why did they stop cheering for me the moment I reached the top?" I asked the master. He nodded. "Your fans loved the part of you they saw in themselves," the master replied. "They've been underdogs their whole life; they simply cannot imagine themselves as champions."
Hbox appeared at my door last night carrying a human skull. He said, "this is your neighbor's skull. He would have wanted you to have this." I was confused. I said, “but Hbox, my neighbor is still alive." Hbox let out a deep sigh and said, “he told me you'd say that."
They say every Smash player dies twice. Once when you stop breathing, and a second time, a bit later on, when Hungrybox pops off at your funeral.
Sometimes it feels like my friends and family don't really understand how much blood, sweat, and tears it takes to be this mediocre at a game I don't really like.
The worst part about having elite gamer genes is losing all your friends because you're not physically capable of playing a game casually.
My son just married a doctor, and I’m terrified that her shitty, non-gamer genes will produce the first casual gamer our family has had in generations.
Friendly reminder that even the best opponents will have habits that you can exploit, like leaving their homes unlocked or sleeping with the lights off.
They say the definition of insanity is repeating the same option over and over again and expecting different results. But hear me out - there's no way they'll expect me to do it again.
probably the worst part about being a professional e-gamer is that everybody just assumes you’re some kind of attractive, socially well-adjusted muscle monster, without really realizing that you’re a genius too.
One beautiful April morning
I played the 100% perfect game of Melee.
Tell you the truth, it was not beautiful
There were dropped combos and missed techs
There were SDs and missed inputs.
And yet, in all its ordinariness,
It was nevertheless perfect.
Because we played it together.
Just inhaled a lethal dose of carbon monoxide to better understand what goes on inside the heads of my brain-dead opponents.
btw all your mains are toxic af, unless I’m playing as them, in which case “camping is actually kinda sick” and “these projectiles don’t throw themselves."
Hbox told me he smokes to "cool off." I told him that he can "cool off" by not smoking. He said "buddy, it sounds like you need a smoke." He laughed and laughed. He took me to a lake. He said, "I'm going to give you to the count of ten, and then I’m gonna start shooting."
new tech just dropped: you can now turn the game off and cultivate enriching hobbies instead of mindlessly consuming content and waiting for life to happen.
thanks to fucking obamacare my lifespan is so long that i actually have to live with the consequences of my actions.
I’ve played more Smash in my lifetime than many of you will play all week, so let me tell you something: You can’t improve while playing tilted. Put the controller down, take a breath, and try to remember where your opponent lives and which of his family members he loves the most
i met hbox on a rooftop. he said, "i miss her, dude." i said, "i get it, but you don't have to jump." hbox sighed. he put one arm on my shoulder and the other firmly inside me. he swung me over the precipice and whispered, "i'm not going to jump because you're gonna jump for me."
Friendly Reminder: If you find yourself struggling and unhappy in a relationship, don't be quick to blame yourself. It might just be a bad matchup.
Kinda crazy how something as simple as three-stocking someone with their main, teabagging after every kill, saving a replay, and distributing it on social media can ruin a friendship.
My opponent killed himself so I gave him a homie stock. Moments later, he again killed himself and again I gave him a homie stock. A friend asked me later, "Why did you do that? You could have lost the set." "I had no choice," I replied. "For I am a homie and he needed a stock."
Sometimes, when I'm having a bad day, I just sit outside and think, "if this were my last day on earth, would I want to spend it feeling like this?" That helps me put my problems in perspective so I can get back to what really matters in life: hentai with the boysssss.
I met M2K at an aquarium I was working at. He said, "hey, how much do I have to pay you to let me swim in the shark tank?" I said, "M2K, I respect you, but you know you wouldn't last ten minutes in that cage." He let out a deep sigh and said, "Would you say that to 2007 M2K?"
I saw Hbox at the gym, holding a 45 pound dumbbell. He said, "you can take the rat out of the gym, but you can't take the gym out of the rat, isn't that right buddy?" I laughed as a courtesy. "Hey would you mind spotting me?" Hbox asked. "I'm doing weighted pop offs today"
lol just spent 15 years getting “pretty darn good” at a children’s party game.
Smash Brothers is about so much more than simply smashing your brothers. It’s also about “frame data” and a few other things.
Friendly Reminder: Stop comparing yourself to others. The only person you should compare yourself against is you from four years ago, before you bought the game and were still a productive and useful member of society.
I main 17 characters and co-main 15 more. I have 25 secondaries that I've never even fucking played. My 15 tertiaries make my 19 quaternaries look like septenaries. I have a duodenary that I play for four minutes a month and it might as well be a god damn main at this point.
the judge announces that i am freed without bail based on my extraordinary gaming achievements. i turn to my parents and say, "fuck you for never believing in me." i feel the handcuffs go back on. the judge says, "oh im sorry, we thought you were mang0."
"Therapy is a lot like video games," my therapist explains to me, "you can't expect results without putting in the work." I can't help but shake my head in disappointment - this bitch has no idea about my natural talent.
"I'm playing terribly," I told my Zen master. "I'm not going to win." "This too shall pass," he replied. That night I won the tournament and raced to tell him, "Thank you for your advice. I cannot tell you how happy I am right now." The master smiled. "This too shall pass."
hot tip the pros don't want you to know: if you moan every time you get hit, your opponents will let you win neutral for free.
I asked Hbox how he's stayed so clutch after all these years. He said, "the secret is never forgetting what you want in life." I smiled. He said, "it's as simple as that, and making blood sacrifices as frequently as Moloch requires. Praise be to Moloch, extinguisher of life."
To my fellow hooligans, rascals, bimbos and floozies. They can poison our drinking water and set our children on fire. They can tear us apart with their cusses and swears. They can make a few really good points. But they cannot — and will not — take a fucking stock off of me.
Hate to break it to you, pal, but that wasn't a read. I had no idea what I was going to do.
Just got out of jail, lol. My alleged crimes (in order): 1. Loving too much. 2. Caring too much. 3. Bioterrorism. On a positive note, I spent all my time in solitary labbing a new tech I like to call “bioterrorism.”
How about instead of spending all your time tech chasing, you spend a little more time chasing your dreams? And while you’re doing that, I’ll be carrying your ass to the blastzone.
my wife says she's leaving me and she's taking the kids, and i’m over here just wondering what the fuck that has to do with Super Smash Bros for the Nintendo Switch.
I visited Mang0 at the hospital. He was 85 years old and dying. I said “hey you’re Mang0, the last remaining God.” He instinctively reached out to bless me, but I pushed his lips away. “Not now,” I whispered, “it's time for you to return home.” He smiled and I pulled the plug.
"Please just let me back on stage. My mom's in the audience and I’m just trying to make her proud. Probably won’t be able to afford the operation if I don’t win tonight."
And while your opponent is contemplating that, you can introduce their dumbass to the blast zone.
It might help struggling players to realize that succeeding at Smash Bros is no different from succeeding at life. No matter how hard you try, there will always be a Mexican that is better than you.
I miss the old Mang0
The drunken GOAT Mang0
Bird is the word Mang0
Spit in my ass Mang0
I hate the new Mang0
Tropical fruit Mang0
Hands full of goo Mang0
Please send me nudes Mang0
I asked Hbox for an autograph at a party. He squeezed my lips and said, “Shh. Not clutch." I apologized. He said, "remember that time in high school I farted in class?” I said, “oh yeah?” He gazed into the stars. He said, “that fart is still there, bro. It’s still fucking there.”
Friendly Reminder: The most devastating missed input is never asking for feedback.
M2K is the kind of guy who will invite you over for "Netflix and Chill" and then just show you his 2003 frame data.
I'm getting REALLY tired of people coming up to me after a loss and spitting on me and shitting on me and beating the shit out of me and blowing air in my asshole and bringing a garbage can to the tournament and telling me to "get in" and insisting I "pour one out for the boys."
Friendly reminder: Tier lists only matter if you care about winning. And between you and me, bud, maybe you should just stick with having fun.
I used to be a very firm believer in the Anti-Christ until I learned about Jesus. And honestly, boys, Jesus seems like a no-brainer. If you haven't already, give him a like or a follow. And, heck, if you like what he has to say, check out his OnlyFans account.
"Most people think my pop-offs are excessive," Hbox said, "but what they don’t realize is that most of them are barely detectable." "I guess we only notice the big ones, huh?” I said. Hbox began to walk away. "Oh, and buddy?” he said, turning back. "I'm popping off right now."
I’ve been practicing my pop-offs recently and I think I discovered a new tech. If you’re easily the best at your school and your school is considered cool as fuck, you can actually buffer a fully-charged pop-off that is so powerful it will kill everybody you love.
I can't be the only one who thinks that Smash would be a lot more interesting if instead of fighting against each other, we instead fought with each other... against the much bigger enemies of capitalism, institutional racism, and Carlos.
so tired of people saying that "playing video games is not a job." i bust my ass off from 12 to 5 just like everybody else, except i don't make any money and i'm VERY sexist
Unfortunately most of my takes are so powerful that I pass out the moment I conceive of them. Until recently, I’ve kept the strongest takes behind a firewall as a courtesy to the elderly, weak, and infirm. But my most powerful take is this: Pikachu is too strong to keep alive.
"The book was way better", I tell my date, hoping to impress her. "Oh, I didn’t know Finding Nemo was based on a book," she replies. "Oh it is," I tell her. "And it's a chapter book, too, so it's actually pretty hard."
I met M2K on a cruise. He kept saying, "we're at the mercy of the tides, my boy." He walked up to me and whispered, "I hope you can wavedash, smart guy, because the tides look hungry.” I said, "you're scaring me, M2K." He said, “it’s just a prank, bro. Drowning is just a prank.”
The moral lesson of Smash Brothers is that the more damage your friend has, the easier it is to kill them. And I think that's beautiful.
my doctor just diagnosed me with "gaming elbow" which sounds a hell of a lot better than "gaming asshole" which is what people keep calling me.
Some days it almost doesn’t feel worth it to fly across the country to compete for a chance to break even on my expenses. But then I take a deep breath and remind myself: It’s going to be okay. You don’t have any other skills. You fucked up and now this is all you've got.
the jury returns a guilty verdict, and i can't help but laugh. sorry officer, but the only thing i'm guilty of is schmoving too hard, fucking up Falco Lombardi, and stealing all those children (that one's on me)
If you find yourself losing to the same people even after years of grinding, it can help to remember that they probably wasted even more of their life, squandering their precious youth in exchange for marginal improvements at a game which nobody is sure is even fun anymore.
Proud to announce the birth of my beautiful daughter Delilah who died doing what she loved - watching me game for days on end without food or water.
"Can you feel it? That's the weight of futility. The clock is ticking, your heart is racing, and you've begun to doubt yourself. A terrible, oppressive thought enters your mind: 'He's going to win this.' And of course you're right. You were right the minute you began doubting."
Hbox gave my friend a ride to a local. Incredibly, nobody was injured on the way there, except for my friend (annihilated), and 14 witnesses (annihilated), in what is already being described as the "Gamer Goof of the Century."
How the fuck am I bad guy for selling tickets to my sets? Real talent doesn’t perform for free. Use coupon code “Big Leff” at checkout to get $5.00 off my next set. And remember: early subscribers get to support the bulk of my body weight as I crowd surf after every win.
One night while meditating, I was approached by a thief who demanded my possessions: my controller, my trophies, the shirt off my back. I quickly complied. Now naked and cold, I resumed meditation. "My poor fellow," I said to myself, "I wish I could give you my skill, too."
Find yourself a partner who believes in you as much as ESAM believes in Pikachu.
my son just joked about my gaming talent. i don't want to kill him but for fuck's sake dude.
apparently it's "frowned upon" to bring an emotional support alligator to a tournament even if you have a signed doctor's note saying that he's your best friend
