==Overview==
==Overview==
I am an Australian semi-competitive Smasher who plays both Melee and Brawl (although I do play 64 occasionally). In Melee I use Jigglypuff, Ice Climbers, Ganondorf and Mr. Game and Watch (although I can also use Pichu, Roy and Ness to an extent). In Brawl I play every character competitively, so I normally either counter-pick my opponent's choice, use Meta-Knight or pick Random.  
I am an Australian semi-competitive Smasher who plays both Melee and Brawl (although I do play 64 occasionally). I main Jigglypuff and Ice Climbers in Melee, with Ness and Mr. Game & Watch as secondaries or for low-tier tournaments. I also occasionally use Ganondorf, Pichu and Roy.
 
I main Ness and Jigglypuff in the original game for Nintendo 64, and don't really use anyone else.  
 
I can use anyone in Super Smash Brothers Brawl, but some of the more common characters I pick are Mr. Game and Watch, Jigglypuff, Meta Knight and Snake.


==How I Started Playing Smash==
==How I Started Playing Smash==
I always used to play 64 with my older brother and his friends before Melee was released, I used Pikachu because he was the only one I knew of (from the Pokemon anime). When Melee came out, my brother unlocked all the characters and stages and I used to play against him, most often on Corneria with no items. Because I only had my brother to play against, my main goal was to get skilled enough to beat him consistently (he mains Marth). I started visiting Detstar.com's Melee section, and while I knew about competitive play and advanced techniques, I gave up on trying to learn them very quickly because of their difficulty.

Eventually, the memory card became corrupted and we lost our save data. Since my bro had stopped playing the game frequently, it was up to me to unlock everything again. This gave me a good taste of all of the different characters, stages and modes. I continued playing and went on the Melee section of the original NSider boards frequently, this was my first proper taste of competitive smash and a smash forum. So I continued practicing to beat my brother, still ignoring advanced techniques. At this point I was using Roy, Ness and Ice Climbers if I remember correctly.

==Current Smash==
==Smash Info==
In Smash 64, I am trying to improve as Ness. In Melee I am attempting to advance Master Hand's metagame, learn how to use ever character, and figure out the secret to Ness's Super Yoyo Glitch. In Brawl I am trying to improve as everyone (mainly Ice Climbers).
I am one of the very few Jigglypuff, Ice Climbers, Ness and Mr. Game and Watch mains in Australia. I am known amongst my friends for my good DI, use of Jigglypuff's ledge-cancelled Sing and my strategic use of Up-Air as Game and Watch. I am one of the most knowledgeable and active Master Hand players (along with Insane Carzy Guy and Dragoon Fighter), and a guide I have written to his gameplay can be found at this link: http://www.smashboards.com/showthread.php?t=278836


==Online Play==
==Online Play==
I do not have online connectivity and from what I have played at friend's houses/seen on forums, I do not intend to get it because of it's numerous problems.

While I do not play SSB:64 often, when I do play I normally use Ness. I am trying to setup online support on Mupen64 at the moment.
