    Crush is a shaman, he can see through the matrix, he understands how much of reality is a lie, when he watches the game he sees the pure energy being exchanged

      @calumfoster-bayliss7122 Před 4 lety +56

      @John Noughte the stage is a lie, most characters are fraudulent themselves, sometimes... even the player is a lie. Crush knows that we are little more than a collage of experiences, a frankenstein pastiche of dead memetic content pretending at unlife through perpetuating the idea of a "self". He turns off commentary when he watches videos, he turns away from the crowd, he sees how peoples morphogenetic lineages are expressed through their playstyles. That's what he was getting at when he talked about Mangos playlist. There is more than strategy going on in melee, it is a battle of willpower, of personality, of... alright sorry I have this rule where I can't talk about Crush for more than three minutes a day. Sorry... I'm... sorry. I gotta go.

      Just stopped showing up and deleted all social media without really saying anything afaik. Main reason being he chose to focus on school over smash from what I've heard

      Thats what everyone thinks but most smashers make barely enough to get by. Even Axe only has 1k subs

      Mr. Slowpez dude that’s 3k a month? Which is 36k a year?? Not counting prize pools and sponsors?? That’s amazing. Not to mention that scales like crazy, 3,333 subs and you make 120,000 a year. It’s real money

      i remember a tweet saying something about him quitting melee cause it wasnt a skill based game and was instead going back to yugioh. id assume sarcasm. the last appearance i can recall of crush appearing on social media was after his twitter was deleted trying on an oversized puffy jacket. which was photoshopped to make him look like ice climbers.
