I am a dedicated smasher from Schenectady, New York who has been playing Super Smash Bros. since I received Melee as a Christmas present about six years ago. It took a couple of years before I really got into it. But once I did, Melee was the game I played the most on the GCN, by far (more then 50% of my playtime on the GCN was on Melee). I was just one of the millions who anticipated Brawl's release. I preordered it and bought it the day it came out, despite not owning a Wii yet. I would have to wait 2 months before I could obtain a Wii and play Brawl. Like many others who played Melee dedicatedly, I noticed the physics differences immediately. Initially, I didn't like the physics changes and the loss of L-cancelling, but I would adapt to Brawl very quickly, and being preferring it over Melee. I am very knowledgeable on both games (moreso on Brawl) as I have tested various aspects of the game such as how early every character's smash attacks KO, every character's endurance, and even how well every character can momentum cancel. I discovered various things not mentioned on this wiki such as Fox's dair in Melee was actually a spike and not a meteor smash, albeit a very weak one, and the workings of priority. My other gaming passion is the Pokémon series which are the only other games I had played as much as Super Smash Bros. I have spent over 2000 hours combined on my Brawl and Diamond files. For my smasherbeta image, I have a picture of my favorite pokémon, Tyranitar, that was drawn for me by someone who was dear to me.

I do play Brawl competitively, comaining Wolf and King Dedede. I've believed I reached a professional level (albeit among the lower levels of it), and I'm good enough to consistently win money at locals in my region, as well as get ranked 5th in my region. I have yet to get much success when I travel out of region, though even with the much stronger competition, I have yet to attend a tournament where I failed to win at least one set.

If you ever wondered what the professional level is like in Brawl, you can challenge me to wifi, and I'll pretty much always play you, if I'm not too busy with other things.

1P mode feats

I have spent countless hours on Melee and Brawl 1P modes and have accomplished many feats.

  • In Melee, I cleared Classic and Crazy Hand on Normal with every character without continuing.
  • In Melee, I cleared Adventure and Giga Bowser on Normal with every character w/o continuing.
  • In Melee, I cleared Classic on Very Hard and Crazy Hand with Ganondorf w/o continuing.
  • In Melee, I cleared Adventure on Very Hard with Ganondorf w/o continuing (I didn't beat it fast enough to fight Giga Bowser, however).
  • In Melee, I made it to the G&Ws in All Star on Very Hard with Ganondorf w/o continuing (they ended up killing me but I still managed to clear it).
  • In Melee, I survived 15 Minute-Melee with every character.
  • In Melee, I cleared Event 51 with every character and beaten it w/o stock loss with 17 characters (Dr.Mario, Bowser, Peach, Yoshi, C.Falcon, Ganondorf, Falco, Fox, Ness, Kirby, Samus, Link, Pikachu, Jigglypuff, Mewtwo, Marth, and Roy).
  • In Melee using Ganondorf, I cleared Event 50 in 30 seconds and cleared Event 51 in 1m 04 sec.
  • In Melee, I collected every trophy except Olimar's (I never owned or knew someone who owned Pikmin).
  • In Brawl, I cleared Classic on Hard and defeated Crazy Hand with every character w/o continuing.
  • In Brawl, I cleared Classic on Intense and defeated Crazy Hand with Fox and King Dedede w/o continuing (I did this despite Fox being a secondary character).
  • In Brawl, I cleared Classic on Intense w/o continuing with 17 characters (Bowser, Yoshi, Ganondorf, Kirby, Meta Knight, King Dedede, Olimar, Fox, Falco, Wolf, Captain Falcon, Pikachu, Lucario, Marth, Ike, Mr. Game & Watch, and Snake).
  • In Brawl, I cleared Classic on Intense with one stock w/o continuing with King Dedede. I also managed to defeat Crazy Hand with Master Hand in this run.
  • In Brawl, I cleared All Star on Hard with every character w/o continuing.
  • In Brawl, I cleared All Star on Intense w/o continuing with King Dedede and Snake.
  • In Brawl, I cleared the Subspace Emissary with 100% on Intense, both from starting from the beginning and from replaying all the levels on Intense (the main difference is that you can pick any character you unlock on the replaythroughs,but you don't get your stocks and damage restored after cut scenes).
  • In Brawl, I defeated Tabuu on Intense w/o taking damage and w/o using stickers with Diddy Kong, Lucario, and Marth. I also defeated the Duon on Intense w/o taking damage and w/o using stickers with Fox, Wolf, and Lucario.
  • In Brawl, I cleared Boss Battles on Intense with every character, including once as Nolimar. I also cleared it on Intense w/o using any heart containers. I have accomplished that feat thus far with Marth, Fox, Wolf, Lucario, Captain Falcon, and Nolimar (this can be seen on this video.
  • In Brawl, I cleared Boss Battles on Intense while taking no damage at all with Marth (can be seen here).
  • In Cruel Brawl, I obtained at least 1 KO with every character, and obtained 46 KOs with Meta Knight.
  • In Brawl, I have collected every CD, trophy, and sticker. Note that I do not considered this to be that impressive and I'm simply listing it because other users have (the same applies for collecting the Melee trophies).

Competency Chart

This is a chart showing my competency with every character in Brawl. I once tested every character in Brawl to see who was truly my best. However, the testing was against computer players, and took place in the summer of 09. As such, the results are very outdated, and I now judge my competency chart by my analysis of my characters' performance against capable human competition. When deciding a character's position, I analyze their performance against human players, how comfortable and fluid I feel playing the character, my knowledge of the character beyond statistics, and how often I win with them. I included a number of my overall judgment of my competence with the character, as a means to show the difference between characters. Wolf, being my best, is given 15.00, which every other character is judged upon in comparison.

I also have a competency chart done for Brawl Minus. However, I do not have much to analyze in it, so it is largely estimation and feeling based. As such, it likely contains inaccuracies. I also omitted numerical ratings due to the lack of data to analyze.

vBrawl Competency Tiers
  S/Primary A/Secondary
  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12
  My favorite character to play. His statistics are pretty damn good, I love his playstyle + mobility, and he has many attacks that are among my favorites (d-smash, f-smash, bair, fair, d-throw, and Wolf Flash)
15.00 		My favorite/best before I started brawling with serious human players. Since then he has been eclipsed by Wolf, but I still find nearly as much enjoyment and success when playing him. Love the bair, u-tilt, and f-smash.
14.95 		A character I was indifferent to during my early Brawl days, but he is my favorite outside my mains now. Used to be a main and at one point my best character, but once I started playing in offline tournaments, Wolf and Dedede have clearly surpassed him
14.60 		Was perpetually among the upper middle, not appealing to me too much nor having had shown any notable competence with him. I recently became interested in playing R.O.B. though, and I'm becoming more confident with him.
14.50 		Outside of Smash Bros., he is my favorite character among the Smash Bros. cast. I love his entire moveset (especially the aerials). He was a main in beginning and kept the status for a lone time, though his status has dropped. I am interested in picking him up as a secondary, mainly for matchup use against Pikachu. He is still clearly a step below my mains though.
14.00 		Fulfilling the role in Melee that Ganondorf does in Brawl, I was ecstatic about his speed buffs. However, while he has been a character I played since the beginning (being at least an often used fun character), he had too strong of competition and could not rise enough himself to reach the top. Like Ganondorf, he sees more playtime than other characters I don't main, but not as much as Ganondorf. His hammer head f-smash is still my favorite smash attack in Melee and Brawl.
13.95 		My favorite character and main in Melee, I found his unnecessary nerf painful. I still love the character and is my "bottom tier main". As such, unlike the other characters in my secondary tier, he sees nearly as much play time as my true mains. I just love his dair, uair, f-smash, and dash attack.
13.90 		My former borderline main. I do win with him, but he has had numerous amounts of disappointing performances, and while there are times I feel great with him, sometimes I feel rather awkward playing him. However, he has been dropped, as I don't see the worth in continuing to main him nor do I like him enough to continue trying.
13.75 		I like the turtle, Oil Panic momentum cancelling, and his smashes, but usually he just doesn't feel right when I play him. A character I like to troll with
13.50 		Like the aerials (besides fair), his meteor smash, Phantasm, the chain throw, the DACUS (and the dash attack on its own), and the character himself. But I don't feel too competent when playing him and his style can be a bit awkward for me.
13.40 		My second favorite and best in Melee that I considered unsalvageable in Brawl for so long, I've been able to relearn and play him surprisingly well. Playing him in the punish style, I saw remarkable improvement in him. His down throw is also one of my favorite throws in Brawl (after Wolf's and Dedede's).
13.30 		In my early days of Brawl, he arose as my first definitive top main. But when Dedede, Snake, and Falco began to rise through the ranks, he didn't improve enough. Then with the advent of serious human players to fight, and the higher rise of Lucario and Wolf, he was surpassed again. And he just couldn't keep up. His fair is still among my favorite attacks though.
13.15
        B/Tertiary        
        13 14 15 16 17 18        
        Undoubtedly the best character in the game, and despite previous feelings, I am proban. While I like the character outside Smash Bros., I'm indifferent towards him as a Smash Bros. character (he's the only one of my four most anticipated characters who never reached main status (the other of the four anticipated were King Dedede, Lucario, and Wolf)). And despite his borderline broken status, I'm not too good with him.
12.00 		While I used to dislike Donkey Kong, he has warmed up to me over the years. I like his general power style, reach, and his insane surviving capabilities, but hasn't been good enough to surpass upper middle nor have I enjoyed him enough to put more effort into him.
11.90 		He was my first definitive worst, and a character I absolutely felt unable to play. But having this distinction, I put effort into bettering him. He would then rise drastically through my competency tiers and I would come to like playing him. But he seems to have hit a competency ceiling and has been unable to ever reach the secondary tier. I enjoy playing him aggro and utilising his air speed.
11.75 		A character I find strange and foreign, but can enjoy playing. I'm too conservative with throwing Pikmin to ever excel with him though.
11.20 		A character who's anime counterpart I despise (about as much as the anime itself), a Pokémon I dislike as a Pokémon, but as a Smash Bros. character, I actually like and respect him. Like Game & Watch though, he suffers handling issues and just isn't good enough to ever reach at least secondary status.
11.00 		Love his offensive abilities, along with the dair, u-tilt and dat up smash. But I have some control problems when playing him, and he just dies so fast. When you factor in how easy he can be to combo too, he takes hits worst than any other character.
10.50 		       
C D
19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32
I never liked Mario as a Smash Bros. character, typically being among my low competency tier. He has rose a bit over the past year and I'm not so bad with him as once thought. I like his juggling capabilities and the cape, but he lacks anything outstanding for me, and I heavily dislike that he lacks reliable finishers outside smash attacks.
9.50 		A character I liked and played in the beginning, though he has since fallen drastically. I love his power, fair, and jab, but he is otherwise meh to me.
9.25 		I absolutely hated this character in Melee (and was my worst), but I somewhat like her in Brawl. However, I find her character design terrible and is one of, if not the worst designs in the game. While she has plenty of good to great attacks, her design of "slow moving, tall lightweight character with a moveset consisting almost entirely of unreliable kill moves that don't mold well together" creates so many horrendous flaws for her.
9.20 		I never liked this character, but I do decent with him. I do find a unique attribute of his is that while his overall power is weak (only having four attacks that can reliably KO under 150%, with one not being readily available), his few finishers are such good finishers that he doesn't have the finishing problems that many of the characters in his power tier and lower do.
9.00 		I have always been dislike to indifferent to this character. While I do decent with him, he doesn't feel right often and I do not like his style. His arrows can be fun to spam though.
8.75 		I like his aerials and back throw, but I heavily dislike his smashes (among the worse smash sets). I also dislike his recovery (who doesn't?), and overall, I don't feel too competent when playing him.
8.70 		A character I surprisingly liked playing a lot in Melee, its nerfs were too much for me to play it with enjoyment or competency in Brawl. It has become a character I like to fool around with though.
8.60 		A character I never liked as I hate the 2 in 1 character gimmick (due to gameplay issues it brings up). I can do limited chain throwing with them, but my style with them is otherwise basic.
8.30 		I like his smashes and think he has among the best smash sets. However, I do not like anything else he has, and think he has a poor aerial game that is possibly among the worst. Overall, I just feel average when playing him, though I have a lot of difficulty racking up damage with him.
8.20 		I did like Charizard and he would probably be about tertiary if I could play him as a standalone character. I'm indifferent towards Squirtle, and Ivysaur is one of my most disliked characters. As for the Pokémon Trainer gimmick, I find it useless and just an unnecessary attempt to make a "unique" character. I think all of the Pokémon would be better as standalone characters, and if they weren't significant enough to be standalone characters, Mewtwo should of just been kept instead of introducing such a pointless and terrible gimmick. As such, I do hope this gimmick does not return in the next Smash Bros., and really hope they don't introduce more characters with this gimmick (as a baffling amount of people ask for).
7.75 		I used to initially hate this character, but has warmed up to me some. I still don't like him though, and can't play him too well.
7.50 		I like his aerial game and his u-smash, but I just can't play him well enough. The only thing I really dislike about him is his grab.
7.25 		Luigi is a character I like, outside of Smash Bros., and he has plenty of attacks I like (gotta love the spear hand). However, I can't really do well with him. He is awkward to play for me, and I don't really like his overall play style.
7.10 		Like Sheik, though I sometimes use him for joke reasons.
6.90
        E          
        33 34 35 36 37          
        While I don't dislike Link, I just could never play him well nor enjoy playing him.
6.40 		A character I never really liked nor could play well. I find her too weak, and her physics are pretty awkward to me.
6.10 		The character I dislike playing most in Brawl. I completely dislike her playing style, and there's really nothing about her I like.
6.00 		I find the character annoying, and do not enjoy playing her as well (though she gets played once in a while for joke reasons).
5.95 		The character I have the least experience with. I don't enjoy playing her nor has she appealed to me enough to try her out much.
5.85

  • Revising all subspace enemy articles.
  • Updating the Brawl Minus article.
  • Rewrite the Dedede SSBB article to not be such a mess.
  • Revise every character article to some degree (Melee and Brawl).
  • Try to help revive the smasher namespace. Its coverage of Brawl competitive play is very subpar.
  • Finding post calculation knockback values for every hitbox of every attack in Brawl, to then objectively measure the power of each character.
