Apparently, the video game Super Smash Bros., is a cheerful and friendly title to celebrate and spend time with family, friends or your partner. We say this because its interface is colorful and its characters look pretty good.
Although we must admit that both Super Smash Bros., as well as Mario Kart, are one of the video games that always bring out the most competitive side of everyone.
It is clear that we do not all have the same skills and there will be someone who tears us to pieces in each game, that is a situation that can lead to a lot of frustration, this was what made a woman, tired of losing and of the teasing of her boyfriend, decided to take drastic measures to improve his performance in the game of Nintendo.
It was so through a publication in reddit, the user throwawaysmash234324 shared the story of how she hired a coach to learn to play Super Smash Bros. and be able to humiliate her boyfriend, and well, that story, as expected, caught the attention of locals and strangers because of the curiosity of the whole situation .
This girl explains in her publication that both she and her boyfriend are very competitive people, so they usually play board games, video games, etc. She states that she usually wins at puzzles, while her boyfriend wins at video games.
During the December holidays, the couple had the opportunity to compete in Super Smash Bros, the popular fighting game Nintendo, but she didn’t do very well and comments that she was annoyed that her boyfriend didn’t even explain the controls properly to her.
“When I asked him questions about how to improve or what to do, he said something like ‘you could play for years and never beat me’ or ‘you shouldn’t even try because you won’t have a chance’ (…) It was frustrating.”
What was different this time was that the woman decided that she was not going to leave it like that.
It was then, when the player googled how to improve and asked a mutual friend for help, who recommended a lot of videos on how to play and a short time later, she decided to go further and hire a coach from Super Smash Bros. to teach him how to play.
“My coach did an hour a day with me. He explained things to me and gave me things to practice on my own. I only did this during the day when my boyfriend was at work from home.”
The woman adds that she is proud of her results since her effort paid off, in a matter of weeks, she was already playing extremely close games with her boyfriend and in a month she was already able to beat him.
“I noticed that my boyfriend was getting more and more frustrated. He forced me to play until I won one or made excuses. Honestly, sometimes I started losing on purpose to avoid hurting their feelings. In one of our most intense sessions, he dropped his controller and yelled at me, and I said ‘you could train for years and never beat me’ and he didn’t speak to me all night.”
And when her boyfriend finally found out about the classes, he was furious and refused to play any more games of Super Smash Bros. with your partner. As expected, this story generated all kinds of comments on reddit.
