I know I've barely been active here for a very long time now, but there's reasons for it, and the things I saw that went down on Twitter today really didn't help (especially since one of them (was) my favorite player). In short, bye for now, Smash...

As stated above, I'm a very dedicated Meta Knight player because of my childhood experiences with The ''Kirby Series'', and will probably continue to play him no matter what Buff, Nerf, controversy, Tier list, or player opinion.

Recently though, I've been finding it harder to solo-main MK continuously like I use to, not to mention playing him for so long is also starting to wear on me to the point of there being days where I just don't feel like playing him at all, and end up playing other characters instead. So, while I'll definitely still be maining him, and he will likely be the character I use primarily in tournaments, I'll also be trying to dedicate my time to other characters, to see if any can relieve my "boredom", so to speak, of MK. So far, it seems to be working out well with the likes of Lucina, Roy and Joker.

==Like me? Wanna be a friend (for some reason)? Use this:==
Recently however, with the ongoing pandemic and Ultimate's terrible online being the only safe solution to play, I've basically become inactive with the game and with Smash in general (including contributing to this Wiki). I just don't seem to have the drive or passion for the series anymore like I use to, and if I'm honest, I've felt this way long before the pandemic because I've just felt dissatisfied with Ultimate in general. I don't really like some of the games aspects such as the 8 frame input delay instead of 6, annoyingly unresponsive buffer system, not being able to run past opponents, lack of advanced techniques to speed up gameplay, how every move practically feels + on shield, rather 1-dimensional and uninteresting neutral/characters in general; I could go on, but I've gotta stop somewhere. I've also been trying to shift my focus towards the real world more as much as I can in its current state, having recently graduated high school and heading towards post-secondary. So yeah, with everything happening right now - including all the things going on if you know what ''July 1st, 2020'' is all about (yikes) -, I honestly down feel the need or want to be a part of it currently. I'll probably return once things get better for everyone, and obviously I'll still keep in touch with the friends I've made through Smash and watch videos of it here and there, but for now, for the first time in the longest time, Smash doesn't really feel like a big part of my life anymore, and in its current state, I don't want it to be.

==Random facts from me==
==Random facts from me==
*My favorite Smash characters overall are [[Meta Knight]] (duh) and [[Marth]]/[[Lucina]]. The fact that all are my favorite color (blue), and wield swords catches my interest, as well as me loving them in their origin games/series. The fact that Meta Knight and Lucina both wear masks though is purely coincidental.

**On that note, my two favorite Smash chracters to ''play'' are ''Brawl'' Meta Knight and ''Melee/Project M'' Marth.

*It just so happens that my name is ''Ken'' and I play ''Red Marth'' {{Head|Marth|g=SSBM|s=20px|cl=Red|}}{{Head|Marth|g=SSBB|s=20px|cl=Red|}}{{Head|Marth|g=SSB4|s=20px|cl=Red|}}{{Head|Marth|g=SSBU|s=20px|cl=Red|}}...

*My favorite smash player overall is {{Sm|Leffen}}.
**Besides this, I typically use default and/or blue Alts for characters I play. There are exceptions though, such as {{Head|Fox|g=SSBU|s=20px|cl=Red|}}{{Head|Falco|g=SSBU|s=20px|cl=Black|}}{{Head|Mario|g=SSBU|s=20px|cl=Black}} and the aforementioned Red Marth).
*I am left-handed.
*My favorite smash player overall is {{Sm|Nairo}}.
*My most wanted characters for ''[[Ultimate]]'' are/were {{s|Wikirby|Bandana Waddle Dee}} and Alucard (respectively), with the latter being (unfortunately) given an [[Assist Trophy]] status, and the former the [[Spirit]] treatment.
*I am left-handed; which makes me pretty decent at movements of my control stick on average relative to most, but hinders my button-mashing when excessive mashing is required, notably with Luigi.
