About Me

Hello. I have been playing the Smash Bros. series since I received Melee in 2006. I played Melee casually until I got Brawl in 2008, and played that casually up until early 2012, when I joined the IRC chat on this wiki. I have to thank the wiki and AllisBrawl for helping me get to where I am. I unfortunately can't go to most tournaments in my area (the few my scene has) so I am forced to play on Brawl's wifi. I have not been in an offline tournament since March of this year, and in that tournament I got 2-0'd both sets. I have grown as a player since I dropped Luigi (I used Luigi and Pikachu at the tournament and got three stocked when I decided to go Pikachu), and plan to use Sheik as a way to handle more campy characters (such as Toon Link and Link).

The game's extreme difficulty on a competitive level is very subtle, as it requires a lot of practice with specific matchups and characters to win. My characters have severe weaknesses and losing matchups to higher tiered characters overall (the only even I have is with Pikachu and Wario). I feel that the game at times tend to limit my technical ability and actually makes me worse if I do not constantly practice and wifi (with its 8 or more frame input lag) makes this matter worse. I can beat most lower level players, but if you live at least 1000 miles from the United States I will tend to do poorly than I believe I will.

As for Melee, I attempted to play the game competitively during the summer but lost interest over time. The Smash Bros. Documentary almost got me back on the Melee train (it is getting me on the Project M train instead), but Melee's tech skill gap and the severe physics change I would have to deal with is too severe. I have heard people compare Melee's tech skill gap to Marvel vs. Capcom 2 and the most demanding fighting games. I still play it semi-competitively and I will strive to support the community. I sport blue falcon and Doc in the game (with some jiggs).

If you want to see if you could possibly beat me, I would suggest brawling Scr7. He is newer to competitive Brawl, but uses the top tier character pretty proficiently (to the point where I cannot safely use Sheik against him without losing. He has trouble handling wifi Game & Watch and is just under my skill level overall. If you can beat him, you have a good chance against me. Just keep in mind that he plays a pretty linear style compared to mine; I tend to play super defensive while he attempts to get combos (coming from the Smash 64 meta).

I have also started to play Pokémon and Super Smash Flash 2 competitively. I bought Pokémon X in October and have over 100 hours on it already. I am still forming a team, but my friend code is here if you want to add me on safari (just message me first): 5198-2935-7260

As for Super Smash Flash 2, it is one of my favorite games to play on the PC and is usually more enjoyable than Brawl. I don't see what the hate is about it. I actually asked PewPewU about the game in an AMA and he said it stressed him out. He never stated an answer (because he's 12 inside joke norcal tho).

I'm doing an overhaul of the VGM tracks and shall post at least fifty on my Wikia wiki by New Year's. Not making any promises.
