I have numerous alts, and I've only reached the top of the ladder for VGC once this year. I'm primarily a singles player and with my new job + I play smash 4 competitively now, I have less time and decay a lot. However, I'm gonna set aside some time this week to shoot for first place again on a newer alt: RogueHatesPokemon last time I played, which was almost a week ago I was 1600, so I'm sure I'll have to climb a tiny bit to reach that again, but no biggie.
Honestly, despite what people say: You can face some really incredible opponents at the top of the ladder. Some of the best games I've ever played came from showdown, vs battlespot. Sure, it isn't quit a worlds/nationals battle: But they can be really tight sometimes.
and finally: There's nothing wrong with playing to win. Sure, these mons are some of the best. But it takes more than just slapping 6 strong mons on a team to beat high leveled players. If it was that easy, all of us would be at nats/worlds. :b Super unique teams are hype, but they usually only work best on a BO1 format, not a more competitive field like a B03 unless the team MU is too good.

Yeah, I agree. The whole "bo1 format isn't competitive" isn't true at all. Thank you for the kind words, and good luck with the laddering!
