Such a weird, weird thing to say. Phil, play ranked. I don't think you'll even raise THAT much before you start getting trounced by actually competent players. Go to fightcade. You don't want a challenge, you want to keep fighting players who you know are worse than you to not face any actual, you know, challenge. I know you read here and all, but fuck, stop trying to pretend it's otherwise. If you welcomed a challenge you'd fight Goji and EvilAJ.
