STORY TIME: Earlier this year I found out that my neighbors’ 10 year old son is a huge Smash fan, so much so that he recognized Eric and had even went to the last Smash Factor
A couple days ago Leo came to Puebla for a tournament and I was housing him for the weekend so I thought “What if I invite the kid and his friend over to play with Leo for a bit?” Since he follows the scene, I knew he’d absolutely lose his mind meeting him and honestly how often does the former #1 player in the world just randomly spawn next door LMAO probably never again so I figured I HAD to make it happen
I asked Leo if he’d be down to play a set or two with them and without any hesitation he goes “Ofcourse” 🥹
Thought it'd be just a few games, didn't wanna take too much free time away from Leo's day after all but he actually ended up playing for well over an hour, joking around with them, answering questions and making them feel completely comfortable. I was honestly impressed 😂 that's why he's the goat I suppose
Leo couldn't have handled it better and I'm sure those kids aren't gonna forget about this experience any time soon
Anyway I felt like sharing this because it’s easy to focus only on the negative stuff online sometimes, but wholesome moments like these happen in the Smash community all the time too and I think it’s important to remind ourselves of that every now and then!
I went whale watching yesterday and at one point the intercom got all stupid and it sounded like they called the captain "Captain Chrom"- so I doodled out some of the insanity that immediately hit my brain.
@Samz81123702 Funny, another fellow reminded me of my Lute stuff else where. Not sure if in twitter, but I do wanna find another place to drop that content. Thanks by the way!
