All About Erik (AAE)
Greetings, greetings. I'm Erik, editing from California, but I primarily edit Golden Sun Universe, which I am a bureaucrat at. Otherwise, I don't post or appear anywhere else on the Internet. SmashWiki is my "secondary wiki", and even after saying that I rarely appeared here for several years after Brawl's release; it was the latest pair of Smash Bros. games that prompted me to put in lots of hard work into revising and restructuring the universe-franchise articles for the time being. A more detailed profile of myself is on my user page at the Golden Sun wiki, if you're into that sort of thing...

Past and Current Activities
I wrote the initial forms of the fully-detailed Franchise Description sections for every character-based Universe page. As part of my efforts to cover them all, I had also written several universes' descriptions in advance so that I wouldn't have to scramble to write them and post them shortly after their first reveals, assuming the likely scenario that they would have made it in - but this left me with several universe write-ups for pages on franchises that never got roster representation in the final game, and I therefore felt they did not warrant an entire section with a wall of heavily-descriptive prose because Smash players wouldn't be anywhere near as interested and willing to read them. I have these potential write-ups posted below as an extra treat, as well as to show the writing style I used for the articles:

Erik's Miscellany
I'm not at all a skilled or competitive player, and I only ever focused on the single-player portions of these games. But I like achievement-hunting, and these are my Melee milestones:
 * I have collected all 290 non-Action Replay trophies
 * I have beaten Event match 51 without losing a life.
 * I have beaten Classic mode on Very Hard
 * I have beaten Adventure mode on Very Hard
 * I have beaten All-Star mode on Very Hard. Took forever, but I pulled it off with Roy on April 13, 2007.

Meanwhile, my Brawl achievements include having gotten every single trophy and sticker in the game, as well as having devoted the time to beating 100-Man Brawl legitimately with every character choice and repeatedly putting ALL of the characters through the five Target Tests, 10-Man Brawl, and Home Run Contest to minimize the total time ratings and maximize the total distances. In some ways, this kind of Stadium-mode play was the real meat of Brawl's single-player offerings.

You don't see funny trolling like this nowadays...
