Hello! My name is Daniel, and I am an avid smasher who has been playing Smash in some form since I was 6, and still love it to this day. I started out playing Smash on the N64, completely missed Melee somehow and went straight to Brawl, and then disowned Brawl once I discovered how good Smash 4 was by comparison.

I Have Opinions
I believe each game has its own merits, and that no one Smash game is "the best." My personal belief is that Smash 64 is the best in that it gave the franchise its start (and okay I have some nostalgia-goggles for it), Melee is the best for playing competitively, Brawl has the best story mode (Subspace Emissary is SWEET), and Smash 4 is the best for just having a fun time with your friends.

Also, I have some opinions regarding Melee. I believe wobbling is okay and a perfectly fine move to use in competitive play, but I have zero respect for players who don't know how to do anything with Ice Climbers except for wobble. Which is why I hate Nintendude and love Chudat.

Also maybe needs to practice on his stream.

I also think that Fox should be tournament-banned because he's broken and is too OP. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

My Melee Education
I really enjoy playing Smash 4, but it has recently started to become a little bit stale for me in terms of competitive play. I then decided to take up Melee, since all of my more hardcore-smasher friends were playing it. I quickly encountered the problem of never having owned a GameCube before, so I had to spend multiple weeks just getting adjusted to the bizarre controller layout. I have been playing now for about a year. I have mastered wavedashing, I have a good punish and offstage game, but have almost no neutral game, which is a problem. I aspire to one day be able to compete in Melee tournaments and actually make it past round 2, but for right now I need to work on L-cancelling, because I can't seem to get the hang of it.

Tournament Experience
So far my only major Smash tournament experience has been the MAGfest 2016 Smash for WiiU tournament. I was the first player eliminated in the first game of the first round, because I decided to play Jigglypuff in an 8-player smash. In retrospect, this was probably a bad idea, and I would've been better off with Captain Falcon, who was my real main at the time. I regularly attend Friday Smashfests at the University of Maryland, and I occasionally win a game in the Melee tournament. Someday I hope to attend a Smash @ Xanadu once I become more confident in my abilities.

 * I also updated the S@X logo
 * I split the Blaster page into Blaster (Fox) and Blaster (Falco)
 * Various cleanups
