Basically I reached TGS with a 62% winrate. I’m not a great player, but I think I’m somewhat decent at the game. Yoshi does carry me too.

Anyway, I foolishly decided that I would just try and see what happens. I eventually made it to my promo match, but lost. I tried again… and again… and again… “just one more match.”

I started mashing, playing tilted, pure tunnel vision. I played a lot of games, stayed up too late, and now my winrate sits at 51%, my defense stat has dropped below 50, I’m stuck between TG and TGS, and I generally feel stupid and defeated.

I dunno what the point of this post is. I just feel dumb and have no one to share this with. Do ya’ll ever get like this?

I think I need to take a break.

I have a 62% Ranked winrate with Yoshi at TGS. My end goal is to reach GoD.

Many people have told me that if your WR is above 50% you should be able to climb, however my Quick Match winrate is at 43% and the opponents in QM are quite strong.

I do find that Ranked is typically “easier” than Quick Match, but considering I’ve only fought a handful of GoD players it’s hard for me to gauge if I’m ready.

TLDR: How do you know you’re ready to climb? Do you just grind ranked? Do you play QM until you win a certain amount?
