Years later, I purchased [[Super Smash Bros. Melee]] right along with a [[Nintendo GameCube]]. Melee quickly became my most loved video game ever, rivaled only later on (for a brief time) by [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl|Brawl]].

The hype for Super Smash Bros. Brawl was almost too much for me. At E3 2006, I could barely contain my excitement. Checking the [[Smash Bros. DOJO!!]] website was part my daily routine for a good long time until March 9th, 2008 when I was able to purchase the game during the midnight release.

Since then, I've participated in various [[Super_Smash_Bros._(series)|Super Smash Bros.]] unofficial tournaments, and have taken a particular liking to [[Project M]].

Having had the opportunity to try [[Super_Smash_Bros._for_Wii_U|Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]] in Best Buy, I plan on buying it this holiday. The roster's going to be huge.

With [[Sheik_(SSBM)|Sheik]] (in Melee and Project M), I often rely on speed. Shorthopping and forward aerial attacks are sweet for [[Edge-guarding|ledge-guarding]].

In Brawl, I love using [[Zero Suit Samus]]' [[Plasma Wire]] in an attempt to [[juggle]] opponents.

While I've never been involved in tournaments on the national level, I've participated in many unofficial Smash Bros 64, Melee, Brawl, and Project M tournaments. I've even organized a few at Northwest University in Kirkland, WA as well as at my home in the greater Seattle area.

I've placed at every university-based tournament in which I've participated. I am the sole champion of 4 consecutive Smash Bros tournaments held at Northwest University (Brawl, Melee, and Project M), and have received 2nd place twice at tournaments at Pacific Lutheran University in Tacoma, WA (Project M).

Why do I complain about input delay in general? I've only used CRT TVs to play games for pretty much my whole life (until recently), so I'm used to zero display lag.
Display lag is frustrating because I've only used CRT TVs to play games for pretty much my whole life (until recently for non-Smash games), so I'm used to zero display lag.


Buffering is frustrating because as [[Ike_(SSBB)|Ike]], I will often unintentionally use his laggy neutral areal attack off of the stage when trying to use his standard jab attack.
