I'm Competitive

I'm competitive, fun fact of the day.

So, as of not this past week but the week before, I'm attending 3 different tournaments a week. Which is kind of ludicrous. And kind of a lot.

3 different tournaments for 3 different games. Thursdays there are Lorcana tournaments, Fridays is Smash, and Saturdays is Street Fighter 6.

And it kind of amazes me how competitive I am. I don't get overly upset or angry when I lose, however, so I don't think I'm unhealthily competitive. But I just want to win. Start playing Street Fighter 6 with my roommates and lose. Immediately want to grind until I win. Learn there's tournaments for it every week? Immediately want to grind to win. Start playing Lorcana with my roommates and lose. Immediately want to start building decks, looking up videos, learning how to play better until I win.

Granted, I will say my competitive desire for Smash, although definitely re-amped compared to this post, is starting to rescind again. I feel a part of that is definitely these other competitive outlets that I have, but also other stuff, although I don't care to write more about that right now (partially because it wouldn't surprise me if a week from now I feel completely different).

Regardless of whether I stop going to Smash tournaments again or not, it's all been a lot of fun. Lorcana is great (note: I don't actually recommend getting into it, however. TCG's are a money-hole) and I'm excited to see what random decks people bring to the tournaments once Set 3 comes out.
Street Fighter 6 has had a wonderful effort-reward cycle and I feel like I can be very competitive with the best in our small scene (8ish people per tournament (side note: Lorcana has been slightly smaller than that thus far)); I'm not quite there yet, but I feel I can be soon, and it's exciting.

Those three things pretty much encapsulate what I've been spending my free time on recently. Also been getting some reading done. Behind on some books but ahead on Stormlight Archive. And I've also still been following the Warriors. They have been cooking and have won 8 of the last 10, and it's been really fun to watch.
