THIS USER IS CURRENTLY ON SEMI-HIATUS.

SamtheBKBoss has a lot of "life stuff" on his hands at the moment, and while he has certainly found himself dropping in occasionally, he does not want anyone to expect SmashWiki edits from him, or attempts at contacting him to be answered in a timely manner. Your regularly scheduled userpage content can be found below. Thank you for reading.

SamtheBKBoss
Hopelessly obsessed with the Banjo-Kazooie franchise.
Main	Banjo & Kazooie
Secondaries	Enderman, King K. Rool, Min Min, Terry
Also enjoys playing	Piranha Plant, Mii Gunner, Villager
Skill	Knows some sweet Banjo & Kazooie plays and combos, and can put up a fairly decent fight with Enderman or Min Min, but that's pretty much it. Not really, really bad, but chances are, couldn't beat you. Prefers a competitive ruleset and setting, but has never participated in an actual tournament. Hasn't played any other Smash game for more than, like, five or ten minutes. Decided pretty quickly that 64, Melee and Brawl weren't for him, and hasn't touched 3DS / Wii U.

About contacting	If you're reading this, chances are I don't have NSO, but you may as well try to hit me up during the weekend on Xbox Live or Discord for a few rounds of Ultimate, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, or ARMS. Additionally, so long as I have free time, I am always, always up for a little Among Us.

“	Hey... there... Noticed you were... Here...	”
—Onionsan, UNDERTALE

Um... all you need to know about me is that I am a nerd (I prefer the term "geek") who probably has Asperger syndrome (waiting on an official diagnosis). In person I'm shy, quiet, and very slow to putting sentences together, making social interactions extraordinarily awkward. On the internet is where I can accurately reflect my polite, knowledgeable, extremely loyal (and absolutely never narcissistic) self. I apologize in advance for any uncalled-for acts of vigilantism that will probably come about as I try to keep chaos at bay around me (I can't STAND disorder in information reserves like this). Oh, and just in case you're not sure, I am male and would like to be referred to as such.

I got into Super Smash Bros. Ultimate because of my pre-existing connection to Banjo-Kazooie. I started playing in December 2019, and I haven't found any interest in actually playing the other Smash games, but I would consider myself pretty well-versed in Smash knowledge. Unfortunately, most of the time other people beat me to adding technical info, so I often find myself elaborating, fixing formatting, reformatting, finding things for Admins to do that I can't, suggesting nitpicky changes, or "bettering wording" in general. Run for Administrator? When Shrek gets into Smash.

Something else you should know about me as an editor is that I have an unhealthy tendency to closely monitor and scrutinise changes made to pages relating to universes I care about the most - specifically, you will notice this behaviour around Banjo-Kazooie, Minecraft, Cuphead and UNDERTALE info. If you are concerned about this becoming problematic in the future, note that I actively try to suppress the aggressiveness that inevitably builds when someone touches my precious pages in a careless way. If you're interested in my connections to these franchises, see here.

Here's a friendly reminder that Space Invaders, one of the most important and influential video games of all time, seriously needs representation in Smash (also, Pac-Man and Galaxian could use a lot more).

And finally, a heads-up in case you want to accuse me of sockpuppeting: KirboBoi64 is my actual younger brother. He edits in the same house as I, and may make the same kinds of edits I tend towards, but he's not me. Making that clear.

I guess that's everything I really want you to know. But if you're interested in more about me, you can scroll down for random trivia.

Fighter comfort

How well I understand and handle every fighter in Ultimate. If you have a mouse, you can hover over a fighter's portrait for a quick explanation for their placement. There are two yellow tiers because both rows are of about equal importance. The last two tiers are ordered by fighter number; all other tiers are ordered by my "comfort," left > right.

Note that, again, I only play/have played Ultimate. Banjo & Kazooie alone in the top tier are for reference as my uncontested best fighter.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
My ability to play one fighter stands far above my ability to play the rest.
I play these fighters on a semi-regular basis with a respectable amount of skill.
I'm actively learning and trying to get into the orange tier; I have a decent grasp so far.
Purely casual picks that I'm fairly decent with.
I can play these fighters, but I never pick them unless asked.
I've picked 'em up once or twice, but the interest just isn't there.
Never touched these fighters, for one reason or another.
Haven't purchased these fighters, also for one reason or another.

My playstyle (how to beat me)

My biggest weakness is how slowly I tend to think things through. Even if I have something memorized, I'll second-guess the crap outta myself before going through with whatever it may be, if my opponent hasn't knocked me off the stage yet. Simply put, I don't allocate my brainpower well. That's why I'm so lucky to have a main that's well suited to me: Banjo & Kazooie, for a variety of reasons, aren't easily punished for slow thinking. They can escape light pressure easily, can camp and spam when I need time to think, and alongside being nice and heavy, they have one of the best recoveries in the game in case I make a careless mistake. However, don't dismiss me as another annoying "Banjo main." Nothing could be farther from the truth.

I'M AN ANNOYING KAZOOIE MAIN!!! HAHA GET REKT LOSERS!!!!1!!! TAKE THESE GRENADE EGGS TO THE FACE!!! FIFTEEN WONDERWINGS A GAME BAYBEE!!! BACK-AIR YOU TO HADES, SUCKERS!!!!!!!1!!!

Sorry, the negative connotation that the term "Banjo main" has really makes me sick. You don't have to play the duo campy and spammy, although it takes some work to get a "hype" playstyle down with them. Also, this term completely ignores an entire character - and the one actually responsible for the entire bloody moveset, at that. (And adding to the irony is the fact that Kazooie is directly responsible for the fighter's "annoying" qualities.)

And anyway, that was a joke. Actually, I have a more mindgame-oriented approach to playing with the duo than most of my peers. Obviously, if an opponent is leaving themself wide open, I'll go in for a powerful attack, but usually, baiting and punishing pretty much sums up my entire gameplan - that is, when I'm not facing someone insanely light on their feet and hungry for combos. Again, I can't think fast enough to counter that, so I end up in a more defensive and, well, annoying stance in those matches. Also, it's worth pointing out that I instinctually prioritize melee, up-close options when possible, and with the bird 'n bear, that's not always a good thing. But it's not like I don't know any combos or rushdown tactics with them! Ever heard of drag-down neutral aerial into rapid jab? Drag-down back aerial into side tilt? Down special into down special into down special into back aerial? Down throw into pretty much anything? Forward aerial that kills at 90%? Back aerial against the bottom of Final Destination? Neutral aerial offstage? Seriously, why is no-one talking about Kazooie's neutral and back aerials? They're INSANE!

I also have quirks to how I play my secondaries. I play a fairly decent Enderman and it's TONS of fun, but as I should have already made clear, I don't allocate brainpower well and I usually miss opportunities to use blocks, TNT, etc. in creative ways. Terry's the same way. I have a hard time recalling his insane combos when I'm in trouble and need them the most. I usually abuse King K. Rool's "tank" attributes and go all-out on my opponent with him. I have a decent grasp of Min Min's zoning capabilities, but because all of her attacks are technically melee, my mind is often fooled into wanting me to go in close to fight, which leads to disaster.

Userboxes

This user has an intense platonic love for Kazooie, almost comparable to that of SamtheBKBoss.

To-do list

• Create /Kazooie (SSB?) (create "Attributes" section) and /SW:OFFICIAL? (expand upon "Conclusions" section)
• Fancy up the "Other mains" sections of Template:Smasher (need to learn how to display text IF a binary question is NOT true)

Enough about me! Go edit something! That's what this wiki is for!
