Hiya there! Welcome to DracoRexKing's page, also known as Yesz! in-game. I mostly make edits to pages that are incomplete, needs to be reorganised, or lack information that I find important. I have school during weekdays, though, so I tend to not be so active during those (except Friday :D).

About me

• Spanish is my mother language. I'm from Chile. I started learning English when I was 5 by translating words from my videogames with the help of books or online translators, to the point I knew to write and speak English in full lines when I was 9. What further taught me subsequently was visiting internet websites in English like this wiki, and figuring out how things were worded. As of now, I still thank videogames for this.
  • Something that also aided me a lot in this was a Pokémon Handbook I had in Spanish with all the locations, types and attacks existing in Gen I, which I used to compare the names with the English ones in Pokémon Stadium, thus enabling me to translate words very quickly (e.g. "tipo Fantasma" to "Ghost-type", and "Lanzallamas" to "Flamethrower"). If I'm certain, it was this handbook.
• I learned to read at the age of 4 thanks to interactive PC games.
• I tend to be a quiet person, talking only when I find it necessary or when I find something I'm interested in. I dislike any type of bragging or showing off.
• When someone doesn't know about something that isn't commonsense (e.g. a specific movie, videogame, etc.), I always tell them about it (if I know) instead of insulting them or bringing up idiotic comments like "What have you done all your life?". They are different people that do different stuff, so I respect that. Likewise, I prefer talking to people who think this.
• My favorite subjects at school are English (I do excellently at this) and Math.
• I like animals, especially domestic ones; I'm often friendly towards them and give them the same respect people generally give to humans. I absolutely hate any abuse done to animals.
  • I also like dinosaurs, which you might somehow see reflected in my name...

Videogame history

I started playing videogames at an early age (I think 3 or 4) with the Nintendo 64. I enjoyed playing many classics like Super Mario 64, Banjo-Kazooie, Ocarina of Time and Pokémon Stadium, and between those games, there was Super Smash Bros. I found it a really funny and interesting game, watching characters of the many games I owned fighting each other... though it wasn't really my favorite game because it was rather lacking on content in comparison to my other N64 games, and the N64 controller's stiff Control Stick made my thumb hurt after playing it for too long, considering the game's emphasis on the use of the Stick (yeah, this was a common problem for another game).

After the GameCube came out and I found out about the existence of Melee, I was extremely excited and wished to get the game, which I did along with the console in 2001 Christmas, being my first GCN game along with Pikmin (yeah, I got the Olimar trophy) and Super Mario Sunshine. I had lots of fun playing it with my family and friends, as well as myself alone, especially because of its new content making the game like 5 times bigger than the N64 one, namely the new characters, stages and game modes, my favorite being the Events. In fact, about 90% of my Gamecube playtime as on Melee. At that time, my N64 controllers' Control Sticks had worn out (fucking fragile things), so I eventually lost interest in it and played more on my Gamecube.

When the Wii came out, it was a great opportunity trying games like Super Mario Galaxy and Twilight Princess (never owned the GCN one), and Brawl again made me go aboard the hype train. When the game finally came out, I had noticed its slower gameplay and other changes I didn't like (such as changes on Events and Mario's much shittier moveset), but its new modes still caught my attention, especially the Subspace Emissary which is want I spent almost my whole time in during my first days of playing the game. The game didn't really feel comfortable to me with the Wii Remote, so I remained using my GameCube controllers.

Competitive Smash

While I had spent most of my videogame time on the Smash games back then, it wasn't until 2012 that I knew the competitive scene. Before that, I knew all of the characters' basic attacks (jab, 3 tilts, dash attack, 5 aerials, 3 smashes, 4 specials, grab and 4 throws) and often went to Training to test them and learn the damage some of them did, but my abilities weren't really consistent: while my memories of playing Smash's versus modes before being competitive are kinda hazy, I do remember I didn't short hop to use aerials or shield and dodge attacks as often, making me literally a "glass cannon" (though I didn't just run to my foe and use dash attack like most other casual players do). Also considering I mostly played free-for-alls on random stages with items on. Back then, the character I used the most in Brawl was Mr. Game & Watch, with whom I often used his strong forward air and smash attacks.

Years later, I once visited this wiki merely to know more information about the games, when I found out all about competitive terms and advanced techniques, as well as the games' fundamentals (e.g. punishing, spacing), tier lists, competitive rules (e.g. no items, legal stages). I wanted to know more about these, so I went through the articles and tested these techniques in my Melee, along with watching tournament matches and tech skill videos on YouTube. My perspective of the games had definitely changed then. This affected my friends (or more generally, people that I knew that played Smash) as well, albeit they sadly didn't appreciate the games as much as me, claiming that I "was being too serious on a game meant for fun" and not really caring about improving their skills. As such, practically nobody I know personally as of now plays at my level, preventing me from consistently showing my skills and actually knowing how good I am in comparison to other competitive players, and I still consider myself a big fish in a small pond up to this day. It's hard taking into account that where are live, there are barely any Smash tournaments with actually good players.

Since I was already part of the competitive scene when Super Smash Bros. 4 was revealed and came out afterwards, I mostly judged the game from that perspective, and overall I find it much better than Brawl, with it now being the Smash game I play the most thanks to its better online mode, AI, and the more laid-back play the 3DS version offers (allowing me to play it anywhere).

Playing with me

Simply add my 3DS friend code or NNID on my Smasher infobox, and I can play with you fine when I'm active. If I'm not on the IRC, leave a message on my talk page. My home Internet for some reason gives me issues when Smashing online against other people in my 3DS and Wii U, and we haven't had time to contact customer service, so I instead use my phone's Internet for playing Smash, which is 3G and has nothing connected to it besides my 3DS/Wii U, so it goes fine except against people with overworked Internet. As such, be sure to have a stable connection when playing with me.

For the games I use the tag "Yesz!", which is also the name I use for other games like Zelda and Pokémon. Dunno, it's quite a generic name related to Smash but that allows me to be easily identified, lol.
