This article is incomplete, only because documenting the entirely of any individual's Smash history and experience would be ludicrous.

Hi! I own SmashBrosLegacy.com and have been playing Super Smash Bros. since it launched in 1999.

Let's face it, everyone's happy that Prat Falling is absent from Super Smash Bros. 3DS/Wii U.

Smasher history

This section may be out of date, because I don't update it all of the time.

Before I had a Nintendo 64 to call my own, I often played Super Smash Bros. at friends' houses.

One fateful day, my brother and I sold our NES and games to purchase a Nintendo 64. Super Smash Bros. was the fourth game we purchased. It became a favorite and was played often.

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 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 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. local tournaments, and have taken a particular liking to Project M.

Having had the opportunity to try Super Smash Bros. for Wii U in Best Buy early last summer, I was hyped for that game as well. Purchase the 3DS version at midnight as well as the Wii U version a month later.

Melee is my favorite iteration of Smash.

Control preferences

David uses a purple GameCube controller to play.

I use the GameCube controller.

Is there another way to play?

Fighting style

With Sheik, I tend to play aggressively. With Samus, I tend to play aggressively to a lesser extent.

Tournament Involvement

While I've never been involved in tournaments on the national level, I've participated in many local 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 stream tournaments in the south Washington area.

Here's a video a friend of mine made during one of the aforementioned tournaments. He knows nothing about Smash Bros but made an excellent commentator anyway.

Tendency to john

Yes, I confess, I have been known to john. Although it's basically just when playing Super Smash Bros Brawl, and often due to:

• Display lag and Wi-Fi lag (yes, I'm one of those people)
• Buffering (in Brawl)
• Tripping (in Brawl)

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, I will often unintentionally use his laggy neutral areal attack off of the stage when trying to use his standard jab attack.

Random tripping has always been frustrating for obvious reasons.

Smash Bros. Legacy

Smash Bros. Legacy logo.

I'm founder of Smash Bros. Legacy, a group of content creators and modders who focus on Super Smash Bros. Smash Bros. Legacy is most known for its Project M mods, Super Smash Bros. Legacy XP and Super Smash Bros. Legacy TE, which offer new content in addition to the 3.6 version of Project M. We also post tutorial videos around the competitive scene and create artwork pertaining to Smash as well.

Formerly Smash Bros. Legacy had an active stream that would broadcast local smash fests and tourneys. Here is a stream highlight of me playing a close set from a local University tourney.

GIF Contributions

Below is a gallery of GIF images I've created for SmashWiki articles that needed content.

My general procedure is to use a capture card, get video of a particular action in a Super Smash Bros game for a particular article, import the video content into PhotoShop and create a small GIF image out of it to be used on this site. Hope you enjoy!
