Anyways, this was really just... sad. I know one friend IRL that applied to be an animator on the DT, along with myself. I'm preeeetty sure I would have made it in too lol.
This I can relate to... considering I applied as well. Not too happy to find out this is how I know what happened to my application. PM to me, has been something I've gone back to Brawl for. I didn't start hacking because of it. Or get into it because of it... but It kept me coming back, hoping for new things like stages, characters, costumes, ideas for my own PSA's I do on the side.
I'm still upset with how I found out... and that my application was wasted, but I understand that things get stale and that they'd want to move onto something more fresh.
