<option>'''OT's Pro Tip:''' ''If you get destroyed by a player online, chances are you won't do much better against them offline, especially if your PvP experience is mostly online. As much as you want to think you get hindered severely by lag, you have to remember your opponent gets hindered by the lag as well, and even if you were hindered more, the chance of lag making such a difference that it allowed an inferior player to completely wreck you online is pretty much nonexistent. As such, accept your defeat by them and don't go talking yourself up/talking them down to feed your ego. It can only sever ties with a potentially valuable training partner and set yourself up for future humiliation.''</option>
<option>'''OT's Pro Tip:''' ''If you're an aspiring competitive player, stick to seriously playing no more than three characters, and never try maining a large amount of characters; otherwise your training will be far too spread out and you'll be unable to get meaningful development with the characters you win with, while being saddled with a bunch of superfluous characters that will only take away training that could be used on your winning characters. Also, don't switch up the characters you play often; any character you try seriously learning should be stuck with for months at a time, otherwise you will fail to get meaningful development with anyone.''</option>
<option>'''OT's Pro Tip:''' ''The Pokemon Trainer is a terrible and impractical gimmick character that will actually stunt your development as a player (you will develop much more slowly with him than with any other character). He should be completely avoided by any developing player. There's also a character for each of his pokemon that can do what the pokemon does and more, without forcing you to play two other characters you don't want to play, and without the hindrances of stamina and forced switching.''</option>
<option>'''OT's Pro Tip:''' ''If you believe a character is underrated and is much better than what their tier list position makes them out to be, prove it by going to tournaments and performing well beyond the standard with them. If the character is truly underrated like you claim, players of the character should be placing as well as or better than players of higher tiered characters.''</option>
<option>'''OT's Pro Tip:''' ''Don't underestimate your opponent because they use a lower tiered character. Sure they may be weaker than equivalent skilled players of higher tiered characters, but they are fully capable of beating you if you let your guard down, especially if you're unfamiliar with the matchup. Take all opponents seriously in tournament.''</option>
<option>'''OT's Pro Tip:''' ''It's perfectly fine to drop your main for a higher tier character. While it is unadvised to just drop your main for another on tier reasons alone, if you find yourself not reaching expectations and feel it's your character holding you back, a new higher tiered main may be what you need. If you don't want to drop your lower tiered character, you could pick up a higher tiered character as a comain/secondary instead.''</option>
<option>'''OT's Pro Tip:''' ''"Cheap" doesn't exist. Unless proven to be unbeatable, all characters/moves/techniques are beatable, and failure to overcome them is your own fault. As such, play to win and never hesitate to utilise anything that is within the rules. A win speaks much louder than cries of "cheap!" ever will.''</option>
<option>'''OT's Pro Tip:''' ''Eid I litnu em ta skcatta worht, Tnaryt Agemo, em taefed ot.''</option>
<option>'''OT's Pro Tip:''' ''Eid I litnu em ta skcatta worht, Tnaryt Agemo, em taefed ot.''</option>
<option>'''OT's Pro Tip:''' ''Don't neglect training against cpus. Sure they'll never match a human player, and you'll pretty much develop no cerebral skills from playing them. But when it comes to practising tech skill related stuff, they can be even better than human players to train against. Remember, cpus never say no.''</option>
<option>'''OT's Pro Tip:''' ''"Personally, I think the word "controversy" is just a warning that nearby idiots are about to turn their confusion into arguments." A Seanbaby quote that sums up "anti-tier controversy" well.''</option>

I am a dedicated smasher from Schenectady, New York, who has been playing Super Smash Bros. since I received Melee as a Christmas present about ten years ago. It took a couple of years before I really got into it. But once I did, Melee was the game I played the most on the Gamecube by far (more than 50% of my playtime on the Gamecube was on Melee). I was just one of the millions who anticipated Brawl's release. I preordered it and bought it the day it came out, despite not actually owning a Wii yet. I would have to wait 2 months before I could obtain a Wii and finally play Brawl. Like many others who played ''Melee'' extensively, I noticed the physics differences immediately. Initially, I didn't like the physics changes and the loss of L-cancelling, but I would adapt to ''Brawl'' very quickly, and begin preferring it over ''Melee''. I am very knowledgeable on both games (moreso on ''Brawl'') as I have tested the various aspects of them such as how early every character's smash attacks KO, every character's endurance, and even how well every character can momentum cancel. My other gaming passion is the ''Pokémon'' series, which are the only other games I had played anywhere near as much as Smash. I have for a rough estimate, spent over 10000 hours on both series. For my smasherbeta image, I have a picture of my favorite pokémon, Tyranitar, that was drawn for me by a friend.
You either probably know me as that blunt admin with inconsistent activity that blocks a lot of people and writes big walls of text skirting the line of [[SW:NPA]], or as that guy on Youtube who makes Smash videos of Luigi beating level 9 CPUs by doing nothing, or maybe as that R.O.B. you ran into once on Elite Smash or in an arena that beat you up.
 
My activity here greatly fluctuates, and I can't promise that I will always be around, but as long as I am around I'll edit as I feel like it and help when needed. Just don't ever expect me to involve myself in the thick of things and spend hours a day on the wiki again, you can look at me as an overseer of the wiki or as a possible mentor figure.


If you ever wondered what the professional level is like in ''Brawl'', you can challenge me to wifi, and I'll pretty much always play you, if I'm not too busy with other things. I can also play you in Minus and Project M.
If you ever want to play me in Ultimate, just ask me wherever and I'll tell you when I can play. I do not have any interest in playing any of the other Smash games online however, so do not ask me to play in one of them.


==Smash games==
==Smash games==
I do play Brawl competitively, comaining {{SSBB|Wolf}} and {{SSBB|King Dedede}}. I've believed I did reach the bottom rungs of the professional level, and I'm good enough to consistently win money at locals in my region, beat lesser professional players, and [[New York Power Ranking|get ranked 5th in my region]] (though the ranking is now pretty much defunct with my region being mostly dead, I'm seen as one of the top three players still active in the region). I didn't get much success when I have travelled out of region, though even with the much stronger competition, I have yet to attend a tournament where I failed to win at least one set. I didn't get to attend much out-of-region tournaments, though after Apex 2013 my OoR attendance vanished and my overall tournament attendance plummeted. Nowadays I'll attend nearby tournaments, though I'm done travelling out of my region for Smash until Smash 4 comes.
I did play Brawl competitively, comaining {{SSBB|Wolf}} and {{SSBB|King Dedede}},with a {{SSBB|Snake}} that I also used frequently. I believed I did reach a borderline high level, and was good enough to consistently win money at locals in my region, win sets against high level players, and was able to [[New York Power Ranking|get ranked 5th in my region's last Brawl PR in 2012]], within months of my offline competitive debut. I didn't get much success when I occasionally travelled out of region to the prestigious NYC/NJ area, though even with the much stronger competition, I never attended a tournament where I failed to win at least one set. I didn't get to attend much out-of-region tournaments however, as after Apex 2013 my OoR attendance vanished and my overall tournament attendance plummeted, in large part due to my region's Brawl activity falling off a cliff afterward, and my own increasing disillusionment with the competitive Brawl scene. At the end, I only attended nearby local tournaments due to my depleted interest in competitive Brawl, largely in part due to the Brawl's community inability to follow through with a large scale Meta Knight ban, and my inability to burn $50-100 on a single tournament I had no realistic chance of winning money at. And after the Smash 4 came along, I had absolutely no interest in ever touching Brawl again outside of Boss Battles and getting videos for my Youtube channel.


In regards to Melee, I don't play it competitively, due to various issues I have with the game and its competitive community, and the fact I find it way too old and late for me to start putting serious effort into. Nowadays I only play it for single player stuff and to get videos of its dumb AI. I occasionally enter Melee tournaments alongside Brawl, depending on my mood and if I have money to burn. I will also play friendlies in it against Melee friends and other Brawl players. When I do play Melee with others I pretty much go all Ganon, but may occasionally use Jigglypuff. For how well I do, I'll stomp casuals and beat other Brawl competitives who don't play Melee, and can defeat low level Melee players, while I get stomped by good Melee players.
In regards to Melee, I don't play it competitively, due to various issues I have with the game, such as the lack of any remotely viable character I could click with, and overall just not liking it as much as the Smash games that came after. Since the Brawl era, I really only played it for single player stuff and to get videos of its dumb AI. I did very occasionally enter local Melee tournaments though, depending on my mood. I also occasionally played friendlies in it against Melee friends and other Brawl/Smash 4 players. When I do play Melee with others I pretty much go all Ganon. For how well I do, I'll stomp casuals and beat other Brawl/Smash 4/Ult players who don't play Melee, and can defeat low level Melee players, while I get stomped by good Melee players. By the time of Ultimate's release, I've lost interest in even the occasional dabbling in Melee.


===Brawl mods===
As for Smash 64, I never owned it, and despite me being a boomer gamer that still enjoys many old games, I find Smash 64 to be incredibly antiquated and it has never appealed to me, both with how it plays and its barebones content. I've played it a few times, but only ever got a moderate amount of enjoyment from it at best, and have not enjoyed it as a spectator either. Maybe someday I'll give Smash Remix a try though.
In regards to Brawl mods, I play both Minus and Project M, with no interest in Balanced Brawl nor Plus. Minus is certainly my favorite mod and the only one I fully like, as while the other mods went to patch or "Meleefy" Brawl, it went for something completely different, and delivered the feeling of an entirely new Smash game. It's really well made overall with many enjoyable characters, doesn't cut out or introduce unnecessary things in a guise to be "more competitive", and I say it's achieved the goal of "balance" the most of any of the mods, not having characters that are clearly trash nor characters that are clearly above everyone else (plus it didn't take the Minus team four years to make half a game). The best thing about Minus though is that it's the only mod with real casual appeal, being fully accessible to casuals while having things they'll actually like (in fact, the casuals I have played Minus with actually preferred it to vBrawl, and some of them won't play Smash with me unless it's Minus). But it's also fully accessible and enjoyable to competitive players, who can enjoy it at a casual or competitive level. It achieves what the ideal Smash strives for best; being an extremely appealling game to casuals while also having competitive depth. I strongly recommend to try out Minus, regardless of if you're competitive or not, and if you're ever going to play with family or other casual friends, play Minus with them, I'm certain you all will have a much better time.


In regards to Project M, I don't really like it. I think the game tries too hard to "be competitive", and cut out many good things/reintroduced bad things (such as removing buffering and reintroducing L-cancelling) in the guise of "competitiveness". I additionally really hate what the PM team did to most Brawl characters, and thought it was pretty lazy of them to just revert high tier Melee characters to carbon copies of their Melee selves (e.g. Falco), rather than try to make use of any Brawl changes or their own changes. So pretty much only middle and below tier Melee characters had some actual good and interesting things done to them. Plus the PM team have some really strong biases they won't get over (such as intentionally trying to make Fox/Falco the best characters, and taking out all super armor because they don't like it), and it's pretty clear they didn't actually know Brawl before modding it (e.g. claiming Dedede's super armor in his vBrawl recovery made it "unreasonable to deal with", even though any half-competent Brawl player can edgeguard Dedede easily and some even say Dedede's recovery is bad). I play it in spite of this though, as I still really enjoy Ganon in it, as well as Mewtwo, and I figured if this game was gonna be turning up at tournaments and smashfests I go to, I might as well do some training in it to stomp the Melee kids that play it and get myself some extra money.
With Smash 4, I liked it quite a bit more than Brawl, and despite not getting as much practice in it as I should have, I was one of the best players in my revived and stronger region in it (even being [https://pbs.twimg.com/media/B6soP2IIEAAMLIb.jpg ranked 1st] and then [https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CGkSDKXUIAAfIkB.png:large 2nd] in my region's first two PRs). Then throughout my Smash 4 career my activity would wane at times and I had a couple extended hiatuses that led to a slight downturn in results when I first came back, but I would train up and quickly retake my #2 spot under {{Sm|Dark Wizzy}} despite my region growing substantially stronger each time, where I consistently hovered around for my entire Smash 4 career. Unlike in Brawl, I additionally got solid OoR results during the occasional times I traveled, including making it out of pools at both [[KTAR XVIII]] and [[KTAR XIX]], and when I finally entered a supermajor I got top 64 at [[Shine 2017#Smash Wii_U singles|Shine 2017]]. I ended up retiring from Smash 4 in early 2018 pretty much right after the announcement of the new Smash, while I finished still ranked #2 under Dark Wizzy in the CR during my [https://scontent.fewr1-3.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/26167564_1479252108839518_3706959293735350152_n.jpg?_nc_cat=104&_nc_ht=scontent.fewr1-3.fna&oh=e1089c71ea8699760e78fff0ed0fef70&oe=5C4877BC final active season], while also finishing with significant winning records against every non-Wizzy CR player, though I never did take a set off Wizzy. I mained R.O.B. to the end, and still played around a lot with Charizard, though by the end he fell quite a bit behind my R.O.B. and never quite reached co-main status.


In regards to Balanced Brawl, I tried it some years back, and it was the first mod I tried. I only played it for a few days, before losing interest and never trying it again. It was a nice concept, but there are some big problems with it. First, it has pretty much no casual appeal whatsoever; the game is barely different from vBrawl and most casuals would certainly not notice the subtle changes of the higher tier characters. For competitive players, this mod would be good....if it was an official patch. The mod can't be the standard, as requiring mods would create significant logistic issues among other issues. And then the mod isn't appealing as a side event game nor for casual play among competitives, for the aforementioned reasoning why it doesn't appeal to casuals. So competitives won't play it for fun, and have no reason to train in it to just get good at it. Plus the mod was also made back in 2009 and was never updated for the discovered prowess since then of some characters (such as Olimar) and others being realised to not be as good as once thought (such as Snake), so the mod's actual character balancing may be a little questionable (though its balance is definitely a lot better than vBrawl's and probably better than PM's, though Minus' is better).  
As for Ultimate, it is easily my favorite Smash yet and I always have a ton of fun playing it. I'm currently still solo-maining R.O.B. as I'm very pleased with his changes and adaption into the new game, and he is my best character by far, while solo Charizard, Ridley, Dedede, and Wolf are other characters I really enjoy playing but have not invested heavily in. The other characters I enjoy playing but have no current plans to ever invest into seriously are K. Rool, Incineroar, Hero, the Belmonts, and Snake. As for my competitive career in it, I have not actually competed in much tournaments, due to various life issues killing my motivation to compete, though I have still been regularly playing the game, and I have done very well in the few tournaments I have entered, including winning most of the locals I entered.


As for Brawl Plus, I never played it, and I have zero interest in trying "babby's first mod".
===Brawl mods===
I loved Brawl Minus, before Ult it was the most fun I had playing Smash, especially so casually. Project M on the other hand I never liked that much, but have gotten some enjoyment from it when I did play it.


In Minus, I comain Wolf and Ganon, while seconding Jigglypuff and Captain Falcon, as well as going a plethora of other characters in friendlies. In PM, I comain Ganon and Mewtwo, and will pretty much just go them, though I may go Bowser and Kirby in friendlies.
In Minus, I comained Wolf, Dedede, and Ganon, as well as going a plethora of other characters in casual play. In PM, I solo-mained Ganon, with no other character clicking with me at all. I did enter a couple PM brackets during the lame duck period of Brawl, doing decent at one, and doing pretty good at the second, while obtaining my PM career highlight of [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bbYChx-xwt4 taking a set off Manalord], one of the best Melee and PM players in upstate New York, something some of the PM players in my region would still talk with me about years after it happened. Near the end of Smash 4 I also once entered a local PM weekly and took a set off my region's #1 PM player Sand (though he did end up swiftly destroying me in the Loser Finals runback).


==About me==
==Other games==
Read [[User:Omega Tyrant/Userboxes|this]].
I've been a huge Smash fan since Melee, but here are other games I really enjoy and will readily discuss:


==Youtube channel==
*Pokemon, which is the game series I have easily invested the most into after Smash, or maybe even more than Smash. I don't play it competitively, though I do like challenge runs and playing romhacks. Gen 4 is my favorite, with HGSS being my absolute favorite Pokemon game.
I have become heavily involved on Youtube, managing a Youtube account where I upload near daily. To learn more about it and to see some videos of mine I would recommend watching, go [[User:Omega Tyrant/Youtube|here]].


==1P mode feats==
*Classic Doom (so Ultimate Doom, Doom 2, and Doom 64), I'm not much a fan of shooters, but something about these games have absolutely gripped me ever since I was a kid, and I still love playing them to this day. The fan-made content in particular is absolutely incredible; even though the base game maps of these games haven't all aged well, people are still pumping out high quality maps and mods for Doom to this day, and you'll never run out of new content to play in Doom. Classic Doom also remains my favorite game to spectate, whether it's speedruns or more casual commented playthroughs.
I have spent countless hours on ''Melee'' and ''Brawl'' 1P modes and have accomplished many feats.
*In ''Melee'', I cleared Classic and Crazy Hand on Normal with every character without continuing.
*In ''Melee'', I cleared Adventure and Giga Bowser on Normal with every character w/o continuing.
*In ''Melee'', I cleared Classic on Very Hard and Crazy Hand with Ganondorf w/o continuing.
*In ''Melee'', I cleared Adventure on Very Hard with Ganondorf w/o continuing (I didn't beat it fast enough to fight Giga Bowser, however).
*In ''Melee'', I made it to the G&Ws in All Star on Very Hard with Ganondorf w/o continuing (they ended up killing me but I still managed to clear it).
*In ''Melee'', I survived 15 Minute-Melee with every character.
*In ''Melee'', I cleared Event 51 with every character and beaten it w/o stock loss with 19 characters (the only ones I haven't done it with yet are Mario, Luigi, Ice Climbers, Zelda, Young Link, Pichu, and Mr. Game & Watch).
*In ''Melee'' using Ganondorf, I cleared Event 50 in 30 seconds and cleared Event 51 in 1m 04 sec.
*In ''Melee'', I collected every trophy except Olimar's (I never owned or knew someone who owned Pikmin).
*In ''Brawl'', I cleared Classic on Hard and defeated Crazy Hand with every character w/o continuing.
*In ''Brawl'', I cleared Classic on Intense and defeated Crazy Hand with Fox and King Dedede w/o continuing (I did this despite Fox being a secondary character).
*In ''Brawl'', I cleared Classic on Intense w/o continuing with 17 characters (Bowser, Yoshi, Ganondorf, Kirby, Meta Knight, King Dedede, Olimar, Fox, Falco, Wolf, Captain Falcon, Pikachu, Lucario, Marth, Ike, Mr. Game & Watch, and Snake).
*In ''Brawl'', I cleared Classic on Intense with one stock w/o continuing with King Dedede. I also managed to defeat Crazy Hand with Master Hand in this run.
*In ''Brawl'', I cleared All Star on Hard with every character w/o continuing.
*In ''Brawl'', I cleared All Star on Intense w/o continuing with King Dedede and Snake.
*In ''Brawl'', I cleared the Subspace Emissary with 100% on Intense, both from starting from the beginning and from replaying all the levels on Intense (the main difference is that you can pick any character you unlock on the replay-throughs, but you don't get your stocks and damage restored after cut scenes).
*In ''Brawl'', I cleared Boss Battles on Intense with every character, including once as Nolimar. I also cleared it on Intense w/o using any heart containers. I have accomplished that feat thus far with Marth, Fox, Wolf, Lucario, Captain Falcon, and Nolimar (this can be seen on this [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JWQcX8WK46w video].
*In ''Brawl'', I cleared Boss Battles on Intense while taking no damage at all with Marth ([http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8AXTrBalxMMvideo can be seen here]).
*In Cruel Brawl, I obtained at least 1 KO with every character, and obtained 46 KOs with Meta Knight.
*In ''Brawl'', I have collected every CD, trophy, and sticker. Note that I do not considered this to be that impressive and I'm simply listing it because other users have (the same applies for collecting the ''Melee'' trophies).


==Character popularity==
*Dragon Quest, which is my other favorite RPG alongside Pokemon. Dragon Quest Monsters 2 in particular is my big childhood game that I put even more time into than any individual Pokemon game, and Dragon Quest 8 remains my favorite single-player experience in a video game, barring maybe the aforementioned Doom when you factor in its WADs and mods.
Recently I got in an argument on IRC about the popularity of the ICs. So I decided to do a quick test to gauge general popularity by seeing how much fanart results each Brawl character turns up in deviantArt's search. Now how can this gauge popularity? Generally, people only draw fanart of what they like (or draw what someone else likes as a gift/commission). And dArt is the largest art site out there, notorious for being infested with video game fandom and people of all art skill levels. It has a pretty good search function, and unlike google, will turn up mostly only relevant results (so nearly every result of your search is fanart related to it).


'''Note:''' ''I know this is not the most definitive way to judge popularity and am not treating it as such, it's just to '''give a general quantifiable idea''' of how popular each character is.''
*Castlevania (both Classicvania and Metroidvania style), Mario (the 2D platformers, 3D platformers, and M&L), and Fire Emblem are other video games series I'm a big fan of, and there are lots of other games I enjoy, but it would be too much to list them all out.


Additional notes:
==Youtube channel==
*A * means the character's name overlaps with their series name, inflating results.
As mentioned in the intro, most people from outside this wiki probably know me because of my Youtube channel, that you can find [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzauHkxA0tcMC91lmBU0zqQ here]. I'm prone to some big schedule slips, but the channel is still alive and I have no intention of abandoning it anytime soon.  
*Misc section is used to show the results of an alternative search, in the case of names with overlap issues.
*Peach was searched as "Princess Peach" since just Peach brought up a ton of irrelevant results.
*Link searched as "Zelda Link" since like Peach, Link alone brings up a ton of irrelevant results.
*Zelda searched as "Princess Zelda" since "Zelda" overlaps with the series name and creates a lot of other overlap with irrelevant things.
*Pit searched as "Smash Pit" since like Peach, Pit alone brings up a ton of irrelevant results (and "Kid Icarus Pit" gets less results).
*R.O.B. searched as "Nintendo R.O.B.", due to dart search not recognising periods, making "R.O.B." create a huge overlap with anything named "Rob".
*King Dedede searched as just "Dedede", since a lot of people neglect to call him his entire name, and "Dedede" doesn't create additional overlap.
*Fox searched as "Star Fox", due to the obvious issues searching just "Fox" would cause.
*Wolf searched as "Star Wolf", due to the obvious issues searching just "Wolf" would cause.
*Pokemon Trainer searched as "Brawl Pokemon Trainer", due to his name being the term used to refer to all trainers in the Pokemon series, creating a massive overlap and resulting in a ton of irrelevant results.
*Roy searched as "Fire Emblem Roy", due to the existence of major characters in other series named Roy, creating a huge overlap with other Roys.
*Ness searched as "Earthbound Ness", due to "Ness" creating a huge overlap with irrelevant results.
*Lucas searched as "Mother Lucas", since like Roy, there exists major characters in other series named "Lucas".
*Snake searched as "Solid Snake", due to the obvious issues searching just "Snake" would cause.
*Sonic searched by full name, to get less series overlap.
 
Some characters with higher results were put below others, after consideration for inflation/cut out relevant results.

For some additional notes:
*It's difficult to accurately search R.O.B., due to the period issue, how common of a name "Rob" is, and the fact R.O.B. has no real series he hails from. R.O.B would probably score better with more relevant results if he could be searched more properly.
*Wolf is a bit difficult to search, due to "Star Wolf" still creating some overlap with normal Wolf drawings, and "Wolf O'Donnell" hardly being used, resulting in that name cutting out a ton of Wolf's relevant results.
**Issue also applies to Fox, though not as severely.
*Pit's actual results are probably higher than is what listed, as a lot of relevant results do get cut by the names that cut out the irrelevant results.
**Similarly, Ness' and Lucas' results are probably higher than what's listed.
*Interestingly, Lucario scored higher than every character that wasn't a flagship character or Luigi/Yoshi, and just missed the 100K mark, while also having a name that has one of the smallest overlap issues (there's pretty much no overlap with his name and thus little inflation with it). He also trounced the other pokemon that weren't Pikachu (beating Charizard by more than 50%, and beating Mewtwo by more than twice as much). So if you think Lucario will get removed/"replaced", look at this to get an idea of how popular of a pokemon he is.
*For some reason, cutting the "Mr." out of "Mr. Game & Watch" drastically increases the amount of results. As expected though, this just adds in a ton of irrelevant results. G&W has a similar issue to R.O.B. though, where his complicated name and lack of a series makes it difficult to search for him. As such, his results in actuality are probably better than what's listed.
*The only characters Ice Climbers got more results than are characters whose name create search issues.
*Even with "Zelda Link", Link's results are still inflated, as it brings results of the other Links. No doubt though his true result is still well over 100K.
*Kirby's results are certainly inflated, though there's no other name that could be used to cut down on the inflation without cutting too much relevant results.
*Ike's results are considered with just "Ike", despite an overlap issue. Reason is, Ike is not a common name, and the only other significant fictional Ike, the one from South Part, is a fraction of the results, while Ike has the vast majority. Additionally, "Fire Emblem Ike" significantly cuts out Ike's relevant results (adding "Fire Emblem" to Ike and Marth scores 11077 and 10525 respectively).
 
==Competency Chart==
This is a chart showing my competency with every character in ''Brawl''. When deciding a character's position, I analyze their performance against human players, how comfortable and fluid I feel playing the character, my knowledge of the character beyond statistics, and most importantly, how often I win with them. I included a number of my overall judgment of my competence with the character, as a means to show the difference between characters. King Dedede, being my best, is given 15.00, which every other character is judged upon in comparison. Why 15 instead of 10? Because when I originally tested against CPUs, 15 was the max score, and I kept the 15 scale since. I'll probably fix it at some point in the future though.

However, while he has been a character I played since the beginning (being at least an often used fun character), he had too strong of competition, his buffs were not enough, and he could not rise enough himself to reach the top. Like Ganondorf, he sees more playtime than other characters I don't main, but not as much as Ganondorf. His hammer head f-smash is still my favorite smash attack in ''Melee'' and one of my favorites in ''Brawl''.]]<br>13.95

I just love his dair, uair, f-smash, and dash attack. Seriously, if Ganon was just a little better, he would have likely been my main still, just like he's the only main in PM and only competes with Wolf for top main in Minus for me, his playstyle just fits me so much.]]<br>13.90

He has since been long dropped, as I don't see the worth in continuing to main him nor do I like him enough to continue trying. I do really like some of his moves (f-smash, bair, u-tilt), and like how he handles, but on the whole I do not like his moveset.]]<br>13.75

You either probably know me as that blunt admin with inconsistent activity that blocks a lot of people and writes big walls of text skirting the line of SW:NPA, or as that guy on Youtube who makes Smash videos of Luigi beating level 9 CPUs by doing nothing, or maybe as that R.O.B. you ran into once on Elite Smash or in an arena that beat you up.

My activity here greatly fluctuates, and I can't promise that I will always be around, but as long as I am around I'll edit as I feel like it and help when needed. Just don't ever expect me to involve myself in the thick of things and spend hours a day on the wiki again, you can look at me as an overseer of the wiki or as a possible mentor figure.

If you ever want to play me in Ultimate, just ask me wherever and I'll tell you when I can play. I do not have any interest in playing any of the other Smash games online however, so do not ask me to play in one of them.

Smash games

I did play Brawl competitively, comaining Wolf and King Dedede,with a Snake that I also used frequently. I believed I did reach a borderline high level, and was good enough to consistently win money at locals in my region, win sets against high level players, and was able to get ranked 5th in my region's last Brawl PR in 2012, within months of my offline competitive debut. I didn't get much success when I occasionally travelled out of region to the prestigious NYC/NJ area, though even with the much stronger competition, I never attended a tournament where I failed to win at least one set. I didn't get to attend much out-of-region tournaments however, as after Apex 2013 my OoR attendance vanished and my overall tournament attendance plummeted, in large part due to my region's Brawl activity falling off a cliff afterward, and my own increasing disillusionment with the competitive Brawl scene. At the end, I only attended nearby local tournaments due to my depleted interest in competitive Brawl, largely in part due to the Brawl's community inability to follow through with a large scale Meta Knight ban, and my inability to burn $50-100 on a single tournament I had no realistic chance of winning money at. And after the Smash 4 came along, I had absolutely no interest in ever touching Brawl again outside of Boss Battles and getting videos for my Youtube channel.

In regards to Melee, I don't play it competitively, due to various issues I have with the game, such as the lack of any remotely viable character I could click with, and overall just not liking it as much as the Smash games that came after. Since the Brawl era, I really only played it for single player stuff and to get videos of its dumb AI. I did very occasionally enter local Melee tournaments though, depending on my mood. I also occasionally played friendlies in it against Melee friends and other Brawl/Smash 4 players. When I do play Melee with others I pretty much go all Ganon. For how well I do, I'll stomp casuals and beat other Brawl/Smash 4/Ult players who don't play Melee, and can defeat low level Melee players, while I get stomped by good Melee players. By the time of Ultimate's release, I've lost interest in even the occasional dabbling in Melee.

As for Smash 64, I never owned it, and despite me being a boomer gamer that still enjoys many old games, I find Smash 64 to be incredibly antiquated and it has never appealed to me, both with how it plays and its barebones content. I've played it a few times, but only ever got a moderate amount of enjoyment from it at best, and have not enjoyed it as a spectator either. Maybe someday I'll give Smash Remix a try though.

With Smash 4, I liked it quite a bit more than Brawl, and despite not getting as much practice in it as I should have, I was one of the best players in my revived and stronger region in it (even being ranked 1st and then 2nd in my region's first two PRs). Then throughout my Smash 4 career my activity would wane at times and I had a couple extended hiatuses that led to a slight downturn in results when I first came back, but I would train up and quickly retake my #2 spot under Dark Wizzy despite my region growing substantially stronger each time, where I consistently hovered around for my entire Smash 4 career. Unlike in Brawl, I additionally got solid OoR results during the occasional times I traveled, including making it out of pools at both KTAR XVIII and KTAR XIX, and when I finally entered a supermajor I got top 64 at Shine 2017. I ended up retiring from Smash 4 in early 2018 pretty much right after the announcement of the new Smash, while I finished still ranked #2 under Dark Wizzy in the CR during my final active season, while also finishing with significant winning records against every non-Wizzy CR player, though I never did take a set off Wizzy. I mained R.O.B. to the end, and still played around a lot with Charizard, though by the end he fell quite a bit behind my R.O.B. and never quite reached co-main status.

As for Ultimate, it is easily my favorite Smash yet and I always have a ton of fun playing it. I'm currently still solo-maining R.O.B. as I'm very pleased with his changes and adaption into the new game, and he is my best character by far, while solo Charizard, Ridley, Dedede, and Wolf are other characters I really enjoy playing but have not invested heavily in. The other characters I enjoy playing but have no current plans to ever invest into seriously are K. Rool, Incineroar, Hero, the Belmonts, and Snake. As for my competitive career in it, I have not actually competed in much tournaments, due to various life issues killing my motivation to compete, though I have still been regularly playing the game, and I have done very well in the few tournaments I have entered, including winning most of the locals I entered.

Brawl mods

I loved Brawl Minus, before Ult it was the most fun I had playing Smash, especially so casually. Project M on the other hand I never liked that much, but have gotten some enjoyment from it when I did play it.

In Minus, I comained Wolf, Dedede, and Ganon, as well as going a plethora of other characters in casual play. In PM, I solo-mained Ganon, with no other character clicking with me at all. I did enter a couple PM brackets during the lame duck period of Brawl, doing decent at one, and doing pretty good at the second, while obtaining my PM career highlight of taking a set off Manalord, one of the best Melee and PM players in upstate New York, something some of the PM players in my region would still talk with me about years after it happened. Near the end of Smash 4 I also once entered a local PM weekly and took a set off my region's #1 PM player Sand (though he did end up swiftly destroying me in the Loser Finals runback).

Other games

I've been a huge Smash fan since Melee, but here are other games I really enjoy and will readily discuss:

  • Pokemon, which is the game series I have easily invested the most into after Smash, or maybe even more than Smash. I don't play it competitively, though I do like challenge runs and playing romhacks. Gen 4 is my favorite, with HGSS being my absolute favorite Pokemon game.
  • Classic Doom (so Ultimate Doom, Doom 2, and Doom 64), I'm not much a fan of shooters, but something about these games have absolutely gripped me ever since I was a kid, and I still love playing them to this day. The fan-made content in particular is absolutely incredible; even though the base game maps of these games haven't all aged well, people are still pumping out high quality maps and mods for Doom to this day, and you'll never run out of new content to play in Doom. Classic Doom also remains my favorite game to spectate, whether it's speedruns or more casual commented playthroughs.
  • Dragon Quest, which is my other favorite RPG alongside Pokemon. Dragon Quest Monsters 2 in particular is my big childhood game that I put even more time into than any individual Pokemon game, and Dragon Quest 8 remains my favorite single-player experience in a video game, barring maybe the aforementioned Doom when you factor in its WADs and mods.
  • Castlevania (both Classicvania and Metroidvania style), Mario (the 2D platformers, 3D platformers, and M&L), and Fire Emblem are other video games series I'm a big fan of, and there are lots of other games I enjoy, but it would be too much to list them all out.

Youtube channel

As mentioned in the intro, most people from outside this wiki probably know me because of my Youtube channel, that you can find here. I'm prone to some big schedule slips, but the channel is still alive and I have no intention of abandoning it anytime soon.

Be warned though that their audio quality isn't that good and in some cases maybe even completely shit, but some of them have been updated however; if I have the song on Game Banana too, that means I have updated its BRSTM to better quality.
