#SSBU So I've been practicing Sheik a lot lately. I generally don't like playing online, but I decided to go back online and play some and I feel like I'm getting better -- using more Sheik tech, having more toe-to-toe matches and holding my own a lot better -- but I'm only like at about 6mil -ish GSP. (We're not gonna even mention that my Ganondorf is above 7mil...)
(But really, I think there's a thing with people around my level ranking online better with some random character as opposed to their actual main)
I will say, though, at least the highest GSP I've gotten (9.6mil) is with my main (Sheik) and not some rando like Ganondorf....
Meanwhile, I go offline and play against a level-9 I used to struggle hard against, Terry, and succeed with two stocks to spare and no stress.
I used to try to climb the GSP ladder and used to be ranked better but I'm moreso just using online as practice. There's a SSBU club at my college, and a local not to far away from where I live while not at college; *that's* where I want to do well. And get to meet people IRL, make friends, and have fun together.
