Hey, I'm an Ex-Smash Labber! I used to hang around the SmashCords Discords; while there, I was an administrator in the Terry Discord and Community Organizer in the King K. Rool Discord. I also labbed a few other characters sometimes, such as Donkey Kong and Duck Hunt. I also used contribute to Smogon as a moderator, one of the largest competitive Pokemon Communities.

On SmashWiki, I'm basically the guardian of the King K. Rool page on this website because nobody else is gonna keep that thing up to standard. I also contributed heavily to his moveset pages, Command Input Special Moves, and Arcade controller. I spend time making Overviews on various moveset pages and providing technical/competitive information too. This game is very interesting from a mechanics standpoint and I like to share what I learned.

and an absolute ton of moveset pages!

Unplayable character documentation

In 2021, I published a proposal regarding documenting unplayable characters on SmashWiki. This was passed in early 2023, and I have since dedicated myself to making the pages for each of them. This list, with its redlinks, is basically my checklist. If you wish to help, by all means do, but contact me @plague_von_karma on Discord.

Character Slot-bearing Unplayables

These characters can be controlled through simple character codes;

Brawl Bosses

These characters can be controlled through a special debug code that enables P4's boss control;

To be revised

These pages are from before the new policy was established and need revamping to work akin to the above completed pages.

Characters of dubious playability

All of these characters are programmed as items and don't appear to have debug codes that make them playable (a la Brawl bosses). Thus, more research is required. It is likely that this could involve large-scale modding of the game beyond the scope of a simple CSS mod, which resultantly falls outside the scope of the project. Possible, but just needs more than any of the above characters. If they lack any debug codes that would make them playable, then it's dead in the water to me.

Indistinguishables

These characters appear to not necessarily be "unplayables," and thus need further research to vet them;

Fighting Polygon Team - Same physics, hitboxes, and everything, but may need further checks to see if they are like the Japanese versions of the characters. But from what I can tell, they pull from the same data. Naming convention would likely be how the 64 community does it (eg. "Polygon Mario").
Fighting Mii Team - Seemingly just Mii Fighters and I don't see them being worth investigating regardless.

Resources

I used to spend a lot of time looking at scripts, using Ruben's KO Calculator and stuff like that. I find it fun labbing outside of Smash to theorycraft more effectively. Obviously tests in-game are done as well though! Here's my main resource hub. I keep absolutely everything I do on there, although there are links to more lab repos for specific characters among other things, so it can get a bit messy...

I do similar things for Pokemon, especially RBY!

Tournament placings

I sometimes play in tournaments; often WiFi ones, but sometimes offline. They're nothing extravagant and the tours are often small-ish scale. I'm considering participating in more. I only really go to tourneys if a friend is there. My most notable win would be Nabster at Smash Quarter, I guess, but he's not like, ridiculously high level. There are definitely more tourneys than just these, especially in regards to Brawl, but I can't find any records.
