| The Skill parameter has been removed from Smasher infoboxes, and in its place are the new "Best historical ranking" and "Best tournament result" parameters. SmashWiki needs help adding these new parameters to Smasher infoboxes, refer to the guidelines here for what should be included in these new parameters. |
| When adding results to Smasher pages, include each tournament's entrant number in addition to the player's placement, and use the {{Trn}} template with the matching game specified. Please also fix old results on Smasher pages that do not abide to this standard. Refer to our Smasher article guidelines to see how results tables should be formatted. |

Hello there! On Discord I go by Arthur. I'm a Pikachu main (secondary Sheik) in Smash 4, and I research Brawl and Smash 4 mechanics. In Brawl, rather than modding hitbox data or the like, I trace things through memory using a build of Dolphin that allows breakpoints on reading/writing to memory addresses from assembler code. In Smash 4 I predominantly analyze param usage and MSC, which is the character moveset code. I don't know Melee, and will not edit data about it.
I sort-of play Squirtle in Brawl, but not to a serious capacity. I like to complain about the developers cutting Squirtle in the transition from Brawl to Smash 4. I think Mew would be great too. And in Smash 4, I would be more competitive in general if I didn't feel financially stressed and went out more often/had better internet.
Some things I've done: identify the ACMD scripts for Pikachu's Quick Attack; Quick Attack frame data; identified an extra frame of hitstun due to both tumble and electric moves; item drop chances; Brawl tripping rates analyzed (1% for dash, 1.25% for dash-turn) as well as the mechanics of trip rate when hit (computed as an average of two params); identify the two Thunder projectiles spawned from Pikachu's Down-B Cloud (each has its own spike hitbox which confounded many); Robin's Nosferatu healing/mashing mechanics; Control stick mechanics (found the params defining sensitivity and deadzone). Managed to mod DACUS into Smash 4/found DACUS input window; Villager turnip probability (30/30/40 %); Smash 4's weight-dependent throw formula; probably more old stuff I can't remember currently.
I'm working on figuring out gliding mechanics. I'll also work on this page format stuff later.
