*I love dinosaurs, as if that wasn't obvious already. I perfectly respect people who don't like them, though. I'm probably the only <s>scaly trash</s> dinosaur fan in this wiki whatsoever... | *I love dinosaurs, as if that wasn't obvious already. I perfectly respect people who don't like them, though.

*When it comes to competitive play in videogames, I'm the kind of person that has fun by testing how good I am against other players, and always prefer skill-based mechanics over luck-based ones. I don't really enjoy games where you're going to unexpectedly and randomly lose no matter how much time you spend improving. (Unless that's the point of the game, of course, like with ''Mario Party'') | *When it comes to competitive play in videogames, I'm the kind of person that has fun by testing how good I am against other players, and always prefer skill-based mechanics over luck-based ones.

*''SSB'' is okay, just way too primitive. There are next to no defensive options (the ones that exist are pretty bad), and the game essentially gives every character the touch of death. At least it ''has'' true hitstun, unlike ''Brawl'', but it goes to show too much of a good thing is a bad thing. | *''SSB'' is okay, just way too primitive.

*''Melee'' is definitely the most polished ''Smash'' game at high level play (even if unintentionally), and fun to watch most of the time, but casually I don't think it's that good (especially in my case where the the people I play casual ''Smash'' with are really bad), and after being used so much to | *''Melee'' is definitely the most polished ''Smash'' game at high level play (even if unintentionally), and fun to watch most of the time, but casually I don't think it's that good (especially in my case where the the people I play casual ''Smash'' with are really bad), and after being used so much to the recent games I have trouble getting into it lol. | ||
*''Brawl'' sucks. The only reason to play it over any other ''Smash'' game nowadays is The Subspace Emissary and Boss Battles. Its mechanics are just plain stupid, especially hitstun canceling, and I find it really boring to watch even at high level play. | *''Brawl'' sucks.

*<s>''PM'' is dead</s> ''PM'' is okay I guess. I largely stopped following it after ''Smash 4'' came out, and I really don't like what it did to some characters (like Lucario and Wolf), but it gets points for its special game modes (Stamina Mode is definitely much better than in any of the official Smash games) and basically making ''Melee'' more enjoyable for me to play (auto L-canceling is a blessing). | *<s>''PM'' is dead</s> ''PM'' is okay I guess.

**Banjo and Kazooie are actually my number one pick for a ''Smash'' newcomer; they have so many moves and other content that could faithfully represent their series. Although this is more "I can live with it not happening, but would be really glad if it happened". I'm fine with the amount of characters ''Smash'' currently has. | **Banjo and Kazooie are actually my number one pick for a ''Smash'' newcomer; they have so many moves and other content that could faithfully represent their series.

*I play all ''Smash'' games so far with Gamecube controllers (''Smash 3DS'' being the obvious exception). In the case of ''SSB'', I play it on [[Project 64]] with a software enabling me to use the Wii U Gamecube Adapter on my PC. | *I play all ''Smash'' games so far with Gamecube controllers (''Smash 3DS'' being the obvious exception).

*My original game tag when I started playing the ''Smash'' games competitively was "Yesz!", as an anonymous joke name alluding to the amazing Captain I second in ''Melee''. This was also the name I used for other games that require such, like the ''Zelda'' and ''Pokémon'' games. I then changed it to "DREX" or "DracoRex", though in ''Smash 4'' it's "^RAWR^". | *My original game tag when I started playing the ''Smash'' games competitively was "Yesz!", as an anonymous joke name alluding to the amazing Captain I second in ''Melee''.

*My favorite videogame franchise aside from ''Smash'' is ''Pokémon''. I often play on the online simulator [http://play.pokemonshowdown.com/ Pokémon Showdown], and I have several favorites from said franchise (most of which unsurprisingly have dinosaurian traits), namely Charizard, {{pkmn|Gengar}}, {{pkmn|Aerodactyl}}, {{pkmn|Tyranitar}}, {{pkmn|Aggron}}, {{pkmn|Druddigon}} (so underrated), {{pkmn|Bisharp}}, Black {{pkmn|Kyurem}} and {{pkmn|Kommo-o}}. | *My favorite videogame franchise aside from ''Smash'' is ''Pokémon''.
