I finally got one more chance to play him before the Wi-Fi went down, using my new main {{SSBB|R.O.B.}} I still never actually won a match, but as per usual, I came close at the start, before gradually performing worse. My {{SSBB|Olimar}} did surprisingly well, and I had a lot of fun in a King Dedede vs Bowser before ruining it by self-destructing. | |||

I often self-destructed with Meta Knight and Ganondorf in my matches against LightningBlue, to the point where I have one stock, and LightningBlue has three, yet I still prevail the winner. | ||
Then an issue occurred that I had not encountered while Brawling SmashWikidians before. during a one-on-one, though Bandit has also done this during matches with myself and Shaun's Wiji Dodo. When I was winning with {{SSBB|Ike}} to a certain extent, LightningBlue disconnected. He also did this in the following match where I played as Ike. And then he left altogether. LightningBlue was not on the IRC at the time for me to talk to, though this was something I did not expect, and hope not to see again from anyone. | Then an issue occurred that I had not encountered while Brawling SmashWikidians before. during a one-on-one, though Bandit has also done this during matches with myself and Shaun's Wiji Dodo.

I would give myself a positive matchup over Smash Master, but at this moment, not an especially strong one. I might play him another time with the Blu Tack off, and hopefully with some more shielding on both ends. | I would give myself a positive matchup over Smash Master, but at this moment, not an especially strong one.

==={{S|User|Scr7}}=== | |||
Yes, there's finally another British user on the wiki! Scr7 claimed to be pro-amateur on his userpage, so even though pro-amateur level is hardly semi-pro or professional level, I expected to be pretty much mullered in every match. I don't remember that much of my first batch of Brawls against Scr7, but there was an unusually high amount of lag for a Brit-on-Brit clash, and while Scr7 won more often than I did, I wasn't blown away by his ability. | |||
Brawling him for a second session, he was again a good Meta Knight, though unspectacular. When I played his Meta Knight, we would both go into the high percentages of damage on our last stock. Scr7 beat my Toon Link and Mario once with Meta Knight, and I later beat him with Toon Link. I suppose I'd give myself a -1 matchup against his Meta Knight. | |||
There's variety when it comes to his other characters though. While I may be mistaken, I believe Falco is Scr7's secondary main, as he generally chooses Falco second. I regularly beat his Falco as Mario, partially thanks to [[Cape]]. Our most recent 1v1 as these characters resulted in a 2-stock win for me. I've lost a close match against his Fox, and a not-so-close match against his Pikachu. I hadn't fought anybody especially competent with these characters at the time, so I may fare better in future. | |||
Overall, I can see why Scr7 would consider himself pro-amateur, there were times I noticed good knowledge of move choice, like when he angled Pikachu's forward tilt to try and get through my shield, and general Meta Knight skill. If he is a pro-amateur though, he's only just there. Unless he's just reeeeally not used to lag. Which would be odd for someone who lives in a country with no tournament scene beyond the capital city and regularly challenges wiki users to Brawls. | |||
===Chilex=== | |||
Aside from a handful of Brawls with Scr7, Chilex was the first user that I brawled after becoming a {{SSBB|R.O.B.}} main, and I would say I did pretty well. The guy digs the Fire Emblem characters, and mains Marth, with an Ike on the side. There was a Meta Knight at one point too, but I gave it a good mullering. The Marth was pretty good, and was able to hit me with all of his [[Counter]]s, managing to win a couple of matches. I won more though, perhaps because a character with no projectiles will naturally struggle when faced with my onslaught of [[Robo Beam]]s and [[Gyro]]s. Chilex learned to perfect shield the Gyros, but he regularly fell for the Robo Lasers. Generally, if my Robo Lasers didn't connect, it was because I missed, not because he defended himself. I did lose one match partly because I was distracted by [http://www.youtube.com/Stelios78910 someone] in a Skype call, but I got a well-deserved [[No Johns]] in response. | |||
Funnily enough, Chilex actually won more matches with Ike than he lost. Although I was dealing more attacks throughout, a R.O.B. has to work very hard to KO a heavy character, while Ike just needs a little swish of the sword. I think this cost me in the end, but I still won one of the three matches. I did also win a match with Mario and Olimar, but lost badly with Toon Link. | |||
I noticed a few flaws with Chilex while I played. On occasion, I would start charging a smash attack while completely idle, and Chilex would blindly walk into it and get himself killed. I think I got him with two or three fully charged forward smashes. Something else which held him back; giving up. If ''Inazuma Eleven'' has taught me anything, it's to never give up. Chilex was in some pretty diar situations (two stocks down, I'm at 53%), but there's always a chance. I never give up in a Brawl, and I like it when my opponent has the same attitude. | |||
Chilex was still a good opponent, and I was glad to have played him while I still had the chance. You can watch our matches [https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLZNeuRXdHviYL0jmivNYzKHczHWJGC_VN here]. | |||
==={{S|User|ReiDemon}}=== | |||
I added ReiDemon's friend code way back in 2011. In fact he was one of the first people I ever added on Brawl. We tried to Brawl, but we just couldn't connect, no matter how hard we tried. Over the years, I filled out my friend roster completely, and I had to delete somebody whenever I needed to add a new friend. Despite this, even though I'd never brawled ReiDemon, I could never bring myself to delete him. Partly because his icon on the roster was cool, partly because... well he's a bloody awesome guy. | |||
So you can bet I was surprised when he asked me for a Brawl, the very day before the Wi-Fi was set to go down. I thought to myself; "a chance to Brawl one of the very first people in my friend list, who I've gone my entire life without fighting? Damn straight I'll play!" | |||
Of course, ReiDemon had gotten quite out of practice at the game, and I started things off by 2-stocking him with {{SSBB|Bowser}}. He progressively got better though, and started putting up more of a fight. Towards the end, he even won a few matches, including a three-stock! I won the final match quite convincingly by using R.O.B., but I felt very pleased just to have actually played against the guy. My Wi-Fi can die a happy man. |
