(Yikes! I don’t think I’ll ever enter a Melee tournament again after my krusty performance on this one lol. (But to be fair, the tournament format was pretty bad; it wasn’t a standard singles bracket, it was a free for all ;-;)) |
(Just read the last paragraph if you want to know about the main switches, it basically explains it all.) |

I started playing Smash when I was around 8 years old, where at the time I only had my Wii and a few games to play with. Until one day at a yard sale I saw a copy of ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', two Wavebird Controllers (I eventually got Wired Controllers), and a Memory Card. Ever since that day I knew that the series would be with me for a very long time. | I started playing Smash when I was around 8 years old, where at the time I only had my Wii and a few games to play with.

As stated above, I'm a very dedicated [[Meta Knight]] player because of my childhood experiences with The ''Kirby Series'', and will probably continue to play him no matter what Buff, Nerf, controversy, Tier list, or player opinion. Some of my friends who've played against Vancouver's top players like {{Sm|Big D}} and {{Sm|Firefly}}, and are of even skill of me, even consider me the best ''Smash 4'' {{SSB4|Meta Knight}} player in Vancouver, mainly for (in my opinion) ''rather dumb'' reasons like me being the highest placing Meta Knight at every tournament I go to | As stated above, I'm a very dedicated [[Meta Knight]] player because of my childhood experiences with The ''Kirby Series'', and will probably continue to play him no matter what Buff, Nerf, controversy, Tier list, or player opinion.

With that said, I'm currently on a hiatus from (solo)-maining/playing Meta Knight in Smash 4 as of 08/04/18. I haven't dropped him altogether (NEVER WOULD I LEGITIMATELY DO THAT lol), nor is this an "emotional" change due to me "being salty I loose with him", far from it. Its morso that I feel like if I stick with ONLY him for the rest of my Smash career that I'll be left behind in the current meta, especially in my region, where players who main characters that naturally counter MK (such as Mario and Cloud) are fairly common. Going on from "MK in the meta", I personally believe he's reached the peak of his viability at all levels of play this point, and his peak IMO is generally: "Can win tournaments, but it takes more effort to solo main him compared to dual-maining him/having secondaries/secondarying him". (Most MK players like MkLeo, AC, and Abadango are examples of this in each of the different ways). So I made a promise to myself that if I don't get Top 8 with Solo MK at the next tournament I went to that had at least 100+ entrants (that ended up being AniRevo Summer 2018) that I would drop Solo MK and focus more on Lucina instead. The result was a close, but in the end, rather disappointing (for me) 9th place finish at AniRevo Summer 2018 (which is actually pretty good, but I made a promise and will keep a promise). With that, I'm currently focusing on getting my Lucina to at least a close to the level of my MK, and so that matchups that are difficult for MK (notably Mario) won't be such a hassle for me anymore, especially after going Solo MK for almost 2 years now, I'm slowly finding less enjoyment out of the character after playing him for so long. I still love the character, undoubtedly my favorite character of all time in general, its just for the time-being, I guess you can say I'm a Lucina main now lol. | |||

Another reason was because of Marth (who overtime, I began to dislike watching and playing as in Smash 4, due to his playstyle being rather repetitive in my opinion; constant Tipper F-air spacing and tippers in general started to get boring for me to watch and play as) being my main in Melee (this was when I was still active in Melee BTW), I thought Lucina's less precise playstyle wouldn't affect how I played Marth in Melee, and it seemed to work well with me. Overtime, the character's buffs turned her from my favourite character to play as other than Meta Knight, to that and my key secondary. I'm always one to choose Lucina over Marth! XP]] | ||
