I've played ''Smash'' for a very long time and have competed in some tournaments but irl stuff, my horrible anxiety and undiagnosed ADHD at the time, and a general lack of motivation at the time prevented me from actually taking it as seriously as I would have liked. As I've gotten older, I've taken more of an active interest in it since I can manage my mental health and responsibilities better than when I was younger. I haven't been to any tournaments since COVID but will plan to in the future. I generally edit the attributes, changes, and moveset pages, mainly for the characters I play, but other fighters as well. I also pretty much only solo main a single character in each respective game, although I do have other characters that are either pockets or that I play for fun. Currently pursuing a degree in Computer Science and am hoping to graduate in Fall 2023 or Spring 2024.

I started playing ''Brawl'' casually but eventually grew to enjoy Wi-Fi, watching competitive matches, and learning more advanced tech. I initially mained [[SSBB|Snake]] for a bit, but I strongly dislike the way he is designed due to his absurdly huge janky hitboxes (even though this would have been a boon for me if I played him), extremely laggy aerials, and horrible ground to air transitioning due to his 9 frame jumpsquat. Eventually, I found a new main in [[SSBB|Zero Suit Samus]], who I thoroughly enjoyed for her many different setups, movement tech, and item game with her Power Suit Pieces (utilizing glide tosses and jump cancelled throws was something I got good at and consistently did). I still play ''Brawl'' to this day, as despite many issues I have with the game, I still enjoy it and it was the game that got me into the series. Even I pretty much solely play ZSS, I do have a couple of  pocket characters which are [[SSBB|Meta Knight]] and [[SSBB|King Dedede]]. Characters I play for fun are [[SSBB|Olimar]], [[SSBB|Marth]], [[SSBB|Diddy Kong]], and [[SSBB|Wario]].  

When ''Smash 4'' first came out, I did not enjoy the game very much at all but it grew on me in early 2015. I had trouble finding a main character to play mainly because I didn't like the changes they made to ZSS (even though she was technically buffed) and I couldn't find a character I was interested in putting time and effort into learning until [[SSB4|Ryu]] came out, who I loved to play due to the large amount of setups and combo opportunities he had as well as his combo breaking options. It took a lot of practice and grinding to master his inputs and get good with him but I eventually developed a reliable and consistent gameplan with him. I haven't played the game in a while and if I were to return to it for some reason, it would definitely take some derusting in order to get back to as good as I once was. Characters I have as pocket characters in ''Smash 4'' are [[SSB4|Cloud]], [[SSB4|Mario]], and [[SSB4|Donkey Kong]]. Characters I play for fun are [[SSB4|Mewtwo]], [[SSB4|Sheik]], [[SSB4|Rosalina & Luma]], [[SSB4|Bowser]], and [[SSB4|Bayonetta]].  

Throughout ''Smash 4'''s competitive lifespan, I eventually got into ''Melee'', which to this day, I spend a great deal of my free time playing and labbing with [[SSBM|Fox]], albeit not to the degree of ''Ultimate''. Other characters I enjoy playing are [[SSBM|Sheik]], [[SSBM|Peach]], and [[SSBM|Marth]].

I've been playing ''Ultimate'' for some time now and it is easily my favorite ''Smash'' game. Choosing a main was very difficult due to the huge variety of characters that I enjoy playing, but I eventually made a return to my original main of [[SSBU|Snake]] and am solo maining him as I am very happy with the changes made to him in this game (I personally think he's better in ''Ultimate'' even though the general consensus is that he's better in ''Brawl''). He is easily my best character and by far my favorite character to play, mainly due to his edgeguarding and the sheer versatility of his moveset. Characters I have as pocket characters include: [[SSBU|Luigi]], [[SSBU|Roy]], [[SSBU|Wolf]], [[SSBU|Terry]], and [[SSBU|Steve]]. Characters I enjoy playing for fun but have no intention of investing time into (except maybe one) are: [[SSBU|Incineroar]], [[SSBU|Mario]], [[SSBU|Samus]],[[SSBU|Ness]], [[SSBU|Young Link]], [[SSBU|Kazuya]], [[SSBU|Shulk]], [[SSBU|R.O.B.]], and [[SSBU|Sephiroth]].
