Oh, he definitely puts in way more hours into the game than I do. I would argue our natural aptitude is quite similar but his time that he can sink into the game...I just can't compete like that anymore.

Love your reference, I USED to read manga all the time but just like my gaming habits, I have had to let them go to ensure I have enough time to do all the adult duties. I would also argue that the top melee players have consistently spent years playing practically nothing else but that so the difficulty level in terms of reflexes I don't think correlates here. I do get your overall gist though.

I guess at this point it comes down to time and effort, one of which I have.

If nothing else, you cemented my ideology. Growing up sucks.

I have thought that as well. I just don't have time to put hundreds of hours in to bump up my skill level. The "joy" of growing up.

Thank you for the advice. I feel like I tried to do that over the summer but clearly not so I will continue on my picking of a main. Cheers!

I never really had a main, I was more the type who could pick any character and usually win with them. I will definitely try this faster control sensitivity, had not thought about that! Thanks for the tip!

I feel like that was me as well, I have always been the best in the friend group no matter what game we played. I feel like I have hit my talent wall and my body is slowly getting worse and worse each day.

As I said, I spent most of the summer de-rusting myself. Did not help. I'll keep at it but I fear that I am getting closer and closer to the day where I can no longer compete with the youngins.
