      Even better (by 14 yo me standards), I met a pretty girl online, whom I later married and got into the industry (albeit, less cultured? Lol).

      When questioned by my childhood self why I am not making games myself, I point to my backlog and we both nod in agreement before I thoroughly wreck him in Smash Bros.

        You think you could beat 14 year old you in smash bros?

        I was way better at fighting games when I was a teen than now. I played Street Fighter recently because of whatever compilation they were selling. I suck at it now. I bought sf2 like 4 times now and beat the game with each character back in the day. It’s hard to get past the 2nd stage now.

          It’s more that I was not particularly good at it yet by 14, and Smash is particular. Plus I haven’t declined (yet), but maybe when I hit 40, hehe.
