Mission Complete 2019

2016 to 2017...

2017 to 2018...

2018 to 2019...

It's finally 2019 where I live!

I've been so lucky to celebrate my third New Years on Amino with all of you as we jump our way into the new year. 2018 while being awful in most of my experiences had 1 notable thing which coincidentally happens to be a huge part of this Amino: the release of Smash Ultimate. 2018 has been the year of smash and maybe Ultimate might not be the perfect game, but hey for once I think Sakurai captivated us all. 64, Melee, Brawl, 4, and newcomers can all come together to appreciate the latest installment of ultimate. I feel it was certainly better than the past few years in of smash.

A Reflection

March 8th to most people was just some ordinary day, the only people who cared were Nintendo fans. Everyone was waiting for news of their favorite games, but carrying a heavy doubt of a new Smash reveal. ittedly it did seem unlikely, but some of us chose not to give up hope. I guess they made the right choice. Who knew that such an innocent Inkling trailer would reveal our next Smash game?

We would eventually get to see Inklings, Ridley, Daisy, Simon, Richter, Chrom, Dark Samus, King K. Rool, Isabelle, Incineroar, Ken, Piranha Plant, and Joker (and probably someone who in forgetting) all revealed throughout the course of 2018. Can you imagine getting 13 characters revealed in one year? It sounds so crazy, so unbelievable, yet it happened.

————————————————

2-3 years ago Mara created an event called #MissionComplete where you posted your goals for the new year in a post. Simple as that. Basically those 10 New Years resolutions you know you'll never accomplish but want anyways.

For others, it was probably just a one time thing, but for me it kind of became a tradition. I enjoyed writing about the year in retrospective and being able to write about the future. What challenges does the future hold in store? Only time will tell. So much can happen in 365 days. Now is the time I can focus on what I did and didn't do. How well did I do from the past 2 years?

2016 to 2017 Goals

*This is just a recap*

1. Become the next Ryo

One can only dream...

2. Socialize on Amino More

Is it possible that I should socialize less because I think it might be a problem for me.

3. Discover a new technique or strategy

I still have 365 days for Ultimate, the clock is ticking. Time to get a slow down timer so I can pull something off.

Apparently I just realized while writing this I numbered everything incorrectly so oh well.

4. Get rid of 27 drafts left

This was back when I still used Amino for drafts what an amino noob lol. Now I instead used a notes app and everything deleted and I'm starting to question whether a notes app or Amino is more reliable...

🤔

I probably have like 27+ drafts anywho.

5. Improve my posts

If I actually posted more nowadays maybe there would be something to improve but a certain lazy someone won't post because he's out of blog ideas. Great excuses for a not so great blogger.

I mean I guess I've improved a lot since I ed this Amino. Like a lot a lot. As in 100% better.

6. Reach 300 followers

Ew, yuck why in the world did I include this I'm disgusted. I'm about to replace this goal with something a lot less of a joke.

6. Get in a real life relationship

why do I feel this whole Amino is laughing at me now?

7. Get to a higher level

ew rep

8. Finish the post

No

2017 to 2018 Goals

1. Write more blogs

It's funny when you don't do something you say you are going to do but it's even funnier when you do the exact opposite. This blog would probably be like my 2nd blog of 2018 lol.

:x: :x: :x: :x: :x: :x: :x: :x: :x: :x: :x: :x: :x:

2. Improve in Smash

If by improve I mean take a 9 month hiatus then sure.

:x:

3. Win a Smash Tournament

There's always next year...

:x:

Quite a successful year might I add...

Now for the juicy part, my goals for 2019

2019

1. Blog more

Get off your lazy butt Level 17 you might as well quit this app if all you do is nothing here... is what I tell myself every morning.

2. Participate in More Tournaments

This will be fun, I get to challenge people and hope to Sakurai I don't go 0-2. If you guys saw a face cam of me during a tournament you would see some kid violently shaking because his nerves overwhelm his skill. But hey, I like to think of it as an opportunity to help out and people hosting tournaments. The more, the merrier and maybe if I'm someone noteworthy, I can make the tournament more exciting. Maybe I can cause an upset or be the one being upset.

3. Play New People

This should be an easy enough goal to achieve. I love playing new people in Ultimate. Everyone brings a new challenge that's always welcoming to me as it provides experience to the both of us. What could be better than that? Plus, you always have the opportunity to slack off, not always be super serious with each other.

Another benefit is that Wii U players get to face 3ds players. Aka I get to face Wii U players who I'll finally be able to face. It's a great opportunity to start fresh. Maybe it'll be an opportunity to learn. Maybe it'll be another opportunity for someone to crush me. (More likely)

4. Pick a Main

This might sound very simple or like a joke, but when you have a cast of 70+ characters, picking top 5 ain't gonna cut it. I have a whole list of characters I need to keep playing to find who I really enjoy and deserve to be my main. I know, it's not a great honor to be my main, in fact, it's probably the opposite. This is no easy task I swear.

5. Come Up with More, Better Goals Next Year

5 goals isn't enough especially when half of them seem like a pathetic excuse for a goal.

Hey at least I can say I accomplished my New Years resolutions unlike most years.

————————————————

Closure

It's been a while since I've written one of these. Feels like an accomplishment within itself.

BREAKING NEWS

A secret goal from 2017 was unlocked!

4. Start Blogging Again You Loser

:white_check_mark: Achieved!

Oh, well that was a strange turn of events.

Thank you so much for the 10 people who decided to read 1 of my blogs this year. It boosts my self esteem +1.

"It'll still take Spike 10 years to get out of the negatives.

...

Anyways, aside, from, all, the, commas, I, included, in, this, blog,

Make sure to go out and enjoy 2019. Make it your best year yet in of smash. Show 'em who's boss. Go out there and win a few tournaments for us, eh?

You have 365 days to pull a first. What first will you achieve?

I'm gonna make this open ended for you:

1. What do you hope to achieve this year in smash?

2. What are your goals for smash ultimate?

3. What first this year in of smash will you do? (First combo of the new year, first f smash, first self destruct)

4. How many of you will actually follow through with your New Years resolutions?

5. Do you like fireworks?

6. Are you excited to go back to school?

If you made it this far and actually answer these by like January 2nd I might give out Amino coins as a little incentive or something.

We have both Piranha Plant and Joker to look forward in 2019 which is awesome especially with potentially another reveal. Once again, thank you so much for reading! Hope you enjoyed the New Years and your holidays!
