Welcome to the game I play, yes this is a hitbox that looks like a Box and yes this up tilt is broken

Welcome to my pretty inactive talk page. I am an essentially retired old school smasher (outside of rare smashfests) from NJ who mostly played tournaments in NYC active from around 2006 to 2022/2023 who very rarely shows up to say hello at The Nightclub.

If you wish to contact me for any reason such as any information on 64 as I still stay up to date, please message me on discord under korobeniki. You can also contact me very easily on lichess under CabassoG or post on my open page on chess.com under the same username as well as on yelp if you want to be odd.

Hi and Welcome.

The following is a mix of old info and updated info. I'd likely strike-through stuff but I don't think this is an option on this wiki.

Anyway, welcome to my talk page. You will find a more complete summary of me on my Smasher:KoRoBeNiKi page besides this. I play chess outside of smash (low expert/2000 rated/2100 in blitz) and I am a medical coder based in NYC for a major hospital. If this site is active in 10 years, I'll likely be at the same hospital.

General Summary

I was one of the founding members of the (once) smash 64 backroom on Smashboards (username the same) so please ask me about any questions regarding smash 64 online and smash 64 in general. However, my knowledge of recent online is rather limited so contact people on the official Smash 64 group on Facebook or alternatively on the very active Smash 64 Discord.

If you want, I can and will explain just about anything about 64 out but I specialize more with competitive play. I am not too good at explaining things related to either Mupen64k, exact frame data how to TAS, or how to setup a controller. In terms of the Melee scene, I am also very knowledgeable about Melee players prior and post 2007, especially on the East Coast but everywhere post 2010. You'll probably see me rarely on twitch as I mod on a few channels such as VGBC especially during 64 events but also during other events.

My old "mission"

See below. I think I did a good job adding many pages and updating info for the years I was on.

I wish to make this wiki a good place for people to see both the competitive and non-competitive side of gaming. This means editing things that do not make sense and making this wiki as proper as possible (outside of userpages...i don't care about them). I am also completely for tiers, and I am a fan of getting into debates, so chat if you want, just expect a good response. I am pro-tier list as I believe a fighting game is impossible to not have a tier list though the tier list is more accurate at the top than at the bottom due to those characters being underused.

I want this to be reputable so joke edits are removed, joke combos are being removed, and other joking stuff is also. Though I do prefer Liquipedia for relevant tournament information.

Smash 64

I specialize in low tiers and floaty matchups along with being pretty solid against Fox. My best matchup is Mario as it took literally 14 years and a broken controller to lose against a top Mario (thanks HammerHeart.) I use the down c button color for all characters (such as Blue Yoshi/Black Falcon) and I use blue or green in teams. I am also a solid doubles player. In Remix, I am very capable with Ganondorf/Young Link with a pretty solid Bowser/Doc. I tried Marth but haven't used him enough or play remix enough to say if I am good.

Below is not my tier list, this is my personal aptitude list.

S: My main.

A: Secondaries

B: Other characters/randomizer in friendlies.

C: Worse than a bad pun/easily my worst 2 characters

Super Smash Bros

S Rank	Yoshi
A Rank	Falcon (gap,) Pikachu, Fox (gap,) Samus, Mario (gap) Luigi
B Rank	Kirby, (gap) DK, Ness (large gap)
C Rank	Link, Jigglypuff

In terms of personal tier list thoughts, I think that Pikachu/Kirby/Falcon/Yoshi either belong in S together or with Pikachu Kirby Falcon being in SS and Yoshi being in S a tier above the next with Fox/Puff/Mario being next in A and then the rest in B for low tier events. I don't have an order for low tiers outside of Samus being on top very obviously.

PM

Project M is my other favorite smash game along with 64. I main Luigi (Purple or Blue,) with a strong Samus (light suit) and Yoshi (white or blue) secondary with a pretty good Sheik (green,) Ganon (purple [old],) and Game and Watch [green or blue.] I can use most characters at a semi-competent level outside of the space animals as well as Sonic/Lucario/Lucas. I used to team with Keychain as a Luigi/D3 mix and we had some strong wins such as Dirtboy/Ripple using jank. I've been inactive since the scene moved from their old location to OS NYC and I have not played Project + but I presume I'd use similar.

Melee

Melee is my other favorite community along with 64. My main is Luigi (Yellow) and I have a Sheik (Red,) Ganondorf (Purple,) Samus (Purple,) Yoshi, and Game and Watch. I used to play just about weekly in NYC at HectoHertz's tournaments and now I rarely show up to say hello to old friends/smash mates at OS NYC on Tuesdays when I am not busy with dinners after work.

Brawl

I don't play anymore. I used to main Luigi/Sheik with a Marth/Snake/Game and Watch/Falcon/PK-Trainer/My terrible Metaknight as secondaries. I used to go on AIB very often under KoRo? and some alts. I used to play online but the delay annoyed me too much. I was pretty terrible.

Other games

Didn't play smash 4 outside of finding Bowser fun for the 4/5 games I played and I haven't played ultimate much at all finding Marth and Ganondorf fun of all characters. I played a bit of Crusade where I used Luigi and his meme cousin weegee.
