Smash History and Information
TheBlueBlade has been smashing for seven years. Brawl has brought out some new horizons, as Blade uses four different characters, including his mains of Lucario and Ice Climbers, and he seconds at Wolf and Game & Watch. He uses Marth as his main and Yoshi as his secondary in SSBM, and he mains Pikachu in Smash 64. Although he is not totally skilled at Melee, he is quite skilled at Smash 64. Blue's first ever Smash tournament was MELEE-FC in July of 2004, finishing near the bottom. Ever since, he has participated in the last two MELEE-FC tournaments, and he had the same results. Blue also attended South Bend Smash League in the summer of 2006, which fell through at the end of September 2006. He revived South Bend Smash League in November 2007, and it is currently running every 2-3 weeks. Blade made his Brawl debut on February 9th, 2008, and he finished 4th, his best finish ever in a Smash tournament. Blade is also a Smash Debater on SmashBoards.
