''Elevated: The Development Story of Super Smash Bros. Melee'' is a documentary I created about Melee's development, taking bits and pieces from interviews, columns, and online articles and stitching them together in as coherent of an account as I could. I also documented anything I could related to unused content and some of the earliest tournaments for the game. The video was created, researched, edited, voiced, and produced by me. | |||

My ''"What if...?"'' series of videos takes a look at what Melee might may have looked like under alternative conditions. For example, "what if James Bond was in Melee?"

For example, here's a video on [[Slippy]], which is partially a silly reference to [[Smasher:MagicScrumpy|MagicScrumpy]]'s "Ultimate Spacie" video, and is a collaboration with B&D Games: | |||

Content Creation
Elevated: The Development Story of Super Smash Bros. Melee is a documentary I created about Melee's development, taking bits and pieces from interviews, columns, and online articles and stitching them together in as coherent of an account as I could. I also documented anything I could related to unused content and some of the earliest tournaments for the game. The video was created, researched, edited, voiced, and produced by me.
Some of the accolades its received have included praise from Smash player and Twitch streamer Ludwig, [1] TO and founder of VGBootCamp GimR, [2] and Melee documentary creator Samox who stated he considered Elevated as the unofficial prequel to his The Smash Brothers documentary. [3]
The entire documentary can be viewed on YouTube here:
My "What if...?" series of videos takes a look at what Melee might may have looked like under alternative conditions. For example, "what if James Bond was in Melee?" They are concept trailers often created from modifications of Brawl or Melee itself, crafted to showcase what Melee may look like on another timeline.
For example, here's a video on Slippy, which is partially a silly reference to MagicScrumpy's "Ultimate Spacie" video, and is a collaboration with B&D Games:
Smasher history
|
This section may be out of date, because I don't update it all of the time. |
Before I had a Nintendo 64 to call my own, I often played Super Smash Bros. at friends' houses.
One fateful day, my brother and I sold our NES and games to purchase a Nintendo 64. Super Smash Bros. was the fourth game we purchased. It became a favorite and was played often.
Years later, I purchased Super Smash Bros. Melee right along with a Nintendo GameCube. Melee quickly became my most loved video game ever, rivaled only later on (for a brief time) by Brawl.
The hype for Super Smash Bros. Brawl was almost too much for me. At E3 2006, I could barely contain my excitement. Checking the Smash Bros. DOJO!! website was part my daily routine for a long time until March 9th, 2008 when I was able to purchase the game during the midnight release.
Since then, I've participated in various Super Smash Bros. local tournaments, and have taken a particular liking to Project M.
Having had the opportunity to try Super Smash Bros. for Wii U in Best Buy early last summer, I was hyped for that game as well. Purchase the 3DS version at midnight as well as the Wii U version a month later.
The day it was announced I pre-ordered Super Smash Bros. Ultimate and picked it up at the opening midnight release at Best Buy. I currently possess all DLC released so far.
Melee is my favorite iteration of Smash. [4]
Control preferences
I use the GameCube controller.
Is there another way to play?
Playstyle
When it comes to Melee, I play Sheik and do basic silly things that can end up working against opponents with superior tech skill. With Samus, I just like moving around. I consider myself an amateur player.
In Ultimate, I main Banjo and Kazooie, because why wouldn't I? Most hype character reveal ever.
Tournament Involvement
While I've never been involved in tournaments on the national level, I've participated in many local Smash Bros 64, Melee, Brawl, and Project M tournaments. I've even organized a few at Northwest University in Kirkland, WA as well as at my home in the greater Seattle area. I've also entered in Northwest Majors (Melee singles and doubles) and Don't Park on the Grass (Melee doubles and Ultimate singles), but I didn't make it out of pools for either occasion.
I also attended Project M tournament Fair & Balanced in California.
Tendency to john
Yes, I confess, I have been known to john. In general I have a hard time dealing with unresponsiveness in *Smash* games. However these johns only come up when playing games Brawl-forward, and often due to:
- Display lag, Wi-Fi lag, and Input lag (yes, I'm one of those people)
- Buffering (in Brawl, Smash 4, and Ultimate)
Display lag is frustrating because I've only used CRT TVs to play games for pretty much my whole life (until recently for non-Smash games), so I'm used to zero display lag. Arbitrary input lag and unfortunate internet lag are frustrating for similar reasons.
Buffering is frustrating because as Ike, I will often unintentionally use his laggy neutral areal attack off of the stage when trying to use his standard jab attack.
Super Smash Bros. and Super Smash Bros. Melee are perfectly responsive and don't possess any arbitrary input lag or buffering. Therefore johning occurs much less often with those games.
Smash Bros. Legacy
I'm founder of Smash Bros. Legacy, which used to be a group of content creators and modders who focus on Super Smash Bros. Smash Bros. Legacy was most known for its Project M mods, Super Smash Bros. Legacy XP and Super Smash Bros. Legacy TE, which offer new content in addition to the 3.6 version of Project M. We also posted tutorial videos around the competitive scene and created artwork pertaining to Smash as well.
Here are a few trailers I've created around those projects.
GIF Contributions
Below is a gallery of GIF images I've created for SmashWiki articles that needed content.
My general procedure is to use a capture card, get video of a particular action in a Super Smash Bros game for a particular article, import the video content into Adobe Photoshop and create a small GIF image out of it to be used on this site. Hope you enjoy!
