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

I am happy to know that Prat Falling will not be in Super Smash Bros. 3DS/Wii U, and I'm fairly certain that you are happy about that, too.

Smasher history

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, I plan on buying it this holiday. The roster's huge.

Control preferences

David uses a purple GameCube controller to play.

I prefer to play with the GameCube controller.

In Super Smash Bros. Melee, I tend to use "DAVE" as my name.

In Super Smash Bros. Brawl and Project M, I use "David."

Fighting style

With Sheik (in Melee and Project M), I tend to play aggressively. Shorthopping and forward aerial attacks are sweet for ledge-guarding.

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

Playing Mewtwo in Project M is an absolute pleasure. Utilizing his new hover ability, I can now use Shadow Claw with even more precision and gimp with his tail even more than I was able to in Melee.

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'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).

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 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.

Smash Bros. Legacy is a website and blog I created dedicated to Super Smash Bros. Me and a few other authors post content occasionally, including speculation for SSB4 as well as general Smash Bros GIFs, videos, audio, original artwork, and more.

Here are two videos I've made for the site. Check out mySmash Bros. Legacy subpage here.

GIF Contributions

Below is a gallery of GIF images I've created for SmashWiki articles that needed content. In other words, I am controlling the characters in these clips!

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!
