Hey guys it’s CT LoF NAKAT, and I am here to talk to you guys about doubles. Doubles is an event that is very unique to the Super Smash Bros. franchise, where 4 players play in a 2 vs 2 format. I am known for my team with LoF False, recently featured in our Brawl’s Top 5 article. We use Double Wario and have arguably the best synergy in Brawl teams, though I am also capable of using Fox in teams. Although I am a top singles player, I am also a top player in doubles and I prefer doubles over singles. Why? The easy answer is that I love working with a partner. The satisfaction of winning with someone close to you is better than just winning for yourself. I also feel teams takes a lot more skill and execution than singles since you have to focus on three other people on the stage.

I attended a tournament called Forest Temple in Southern California. This is a tournament I was purely running off motivation to win. However, at the beginning of the tournament I did not feel the same way. I felt stressed out, and I had about 5% interest of actually continuing the event. I came all the way here to this event, but I felt little determination to win. It showed in how I played. My 1st and 2nd round matches were with players that were not on my level. I 2-0’d both opponents, but I wasn’t at my best. Honestly if I played any worse I could have possibly lost or been taken game 3. What was wrong with me? I honestly had no clue, but because I had no motivation I wasn’t ready to play players like Tyrant, Larry, and Rich Brown. When I got up to Rich Brown I realized I had people back at home counting on me to defend our region. It was a like a kick in the ass telling me to get my act together. From that point on I regained composure and possibly played the best I have ever played in my career. Continue reading “Fight For What You Want” »
