For being the best player in the world, you’re pretty immature. I think it’s dumb you didn’t even shake my hand after I beat you at 2GGC or even opt to take a picture with me and Nairo for the results thread.

Maybe I’m just bitter that you single-handedly turned an entire community against me and used your popularity to defame me and give people a completely wrong idea of me. It’s weird that people on facebook still message me saying, “Dude you’re actually a really nice person, everyone told me you were an asshole or something lawl”.

Now you’ve got the community in an even greater hold with your cult-esque fervor we call Scarf Army. You’re the only person who can literally ride his own dick and people encourage you even more when you do it. If I was to even say a tenth of the self-promoting claims you make online, I’d have a brigade of hate lined up on top of the massive amount I already do.

I don’t have to go into how you treated me when I housed you and picked you up from the airport and the degrading and disgusting stuff you did and said about my mom. You think I don’t remember? Not to mention saying similar things about my now ex-girlfriend. I really wanted to sock you in the fucking face so many times.

But I wouldn’t stoop to that level.

The reality is, and the worst part is, that I have too much respect for you as a player. You’ve taken my favorite game and past-time to new levels and you constantly awe me with your advancing of the Sm4sh meta-game. It keeps me on my feet and encourages me and countless others to keep playing. Everyone knows that, and no one can take that away from you.

I have applauded your victories at EVERY tournament we’ve both been at. Every last once. I’ve shaken your hand and applauded you even after our sets. Even after Genesis 4, when you taunted me Game 3 as you were approaching a 4-stock on me. Even EVO, with the world watching. I took the approach of the bigger man, in hopes that maybe it would inspire you to do the same. And I was very wrong.

The thing is, now that the entire fighting game community knows of you, you have all the leverage you need to get your points across. You’re the end-all for knowledge of the game and community.

You’ve gotten better about your attitude towards me, at least subtly. With Mew2king retired from sm4sh and with our tournament records in full display, I’m ranked #2 or #3 in the world behind you. Even still, you make it seem like I’m a joke for ever playing this game.

All I’d like is for you to just stop this nonsense and have at least an ounce of sportsmanship towards me. It’s the least you could do after some of the things you’ve put me through that I won’t mention. And don’t just label off your actions as jokes. Yeah, you’re a funny guy. But it’s not nice being on the end of the stick for four years.

Man up and be the representative this community actually needs.
