This was probably me with Smash Bros in college: Nobody in the dorms would play me after a certain point, but I’m sure I would’ve gotten my ass whooped by professionals.
I went to school with the number one melee player in my state. I played him a ton over the years and never beat him once. The skill disparity between “serious tournament competitor” and “best in the neighborhood” is boggling.
Right? I watch the videos and they’re pulling off moves in times I don’t understand.
But wiping the floor with my friends isn’t fun. I’ve settled on not using Roy/Ike, Captain Flacon/Ganondorf, Mewtwo/Locario, Donkey Kong and Samus. Actually I haven’t used them in so long I’ve probably handicapped myself with at least some of them

My kid could beat everyone at smash bros in high school. My friend’s kid was number two in the state. My kid couldn’t touch him.
My friend’s kid could not touch the number one kid in the state and that kid wasn’t good enough to go pro.

When you’re too good for your friends you have to handicap yourself. Play new characters or give up a finger or something.
