[[Image:AnimAppreciator.gif|right]]Greetings, greetings. I'm Erik Jensen, a 24-year-old (as of August 7) white male editing from California. I've done heavy page-editing in the past and have won sysop status for that, but I'm certainly not the type to spend all day making minor edits to a lot of pages. (In fact, most of my wiki-editing focus takes place at the Golden Sun wiki.) I pretty much haunt a select few Wikis including Golden Sun, and aside from the above sites listed and occasional posts at a Golden Sun forum, I don't post or appear anywhere else on the Internet, and I don't give out my email address.
[[Image:AnimAppreciator.gif|right]]Greetings, greetings. I'm Erik Jensen, editing from California, but I primarily edit Golden Sun Universe, which I am a bureaucrat at. SmashWiki is my "secondary wiki", and even after saying that I rarely appear here (unless an all-new Smash Bros. game prompts me to write fully-updated essay-style Franchise Descriptions for each franchise's Universe article ;) ). Otherwise, I don't post or appear anywhere else on the Internet, and I don't give out my email address. A more detailed profile of myself is on my user page at the Golden Sun wiki, if you're into that sort of thing...


I'm a very non-aggressive person, and also quite lazy and prone to procrastination. On anything that's a Wiki or something like it, I always try to think from the perspectives of the other people making edits, and if there's someone I disagree with, I look for ways to compromise and collaborate. The self-imposed title "Appreciator" refers to my tendency to be very forgiving with what I see and read in stories, as well as how I like to go out of my way to understand what the developers of a show or game have in mind instead of randomly rant or rave about what I see on the surface through a quick glance; I can appreciate pretty much any type of character and plot element, and if there's something in a story or game I don't like, rather than bitch about it I ignore it so I can focus on the other aspects that are better.

The biggest thing I don't like is nonconstructive criticism. Basically, if someone doesn't like something, they would do well to explain how and why, because that feels like a well-supported opinion that can be respected. Straight blanket statements like how something *is* bad, without paying any attention or respect to those that happen to like it, on the other hand: As Sonic Sez, "That's no good." :P People won't like you if you insult their favorite franchise just for the sake of having something to randomly rant at, but I can at least say that I'll respect and ignore your misgivings if you provide an understandable reasoning and show you don't have anything stupidly personal against other people that think differently.

I always liked Smash Bros. for being the most awesome crossover that has ever been realized, and for [[Brawl]] I was especially excited by the possibility of there being an appearance by [[Golden Sun]], my pick for most treasured game series ever. Of course I was disappointed when it was revealed there would be no playable characters or stages, but it still was a major event for me when [[Isaac]] at least made an appearance as an Assist Trophy and there was some battle music in [[Norfair]]. Perhaps when there's an SSB4, the Golden Sun series (which finally made a resurgence over a year after Brawl's release) will finally get the representation and global recognition it deserves. ;)

I've done everything in the Universe template.
I'm only choosing the original Mewtwo over the new forme for the ballot because I predict the forme to be some sort of alternative mode the original can either change into at will or have as a final smash. And I personally predict Matthew from Golden Sun: Dark Dawn will make it in and not Isaac, but I figure that if Isaac is the one that makes it in, I, of all people, should show my support by having had him on my ballot too. =D

All About Erik (AAE)

Greetings, greetings. I'm Erik Jensen, editing from California, but I primarily edit Golden Sun Universe, which I am a bureaucrat at. SmashWiki is my "secondary wiki", and even after saying that I rarely appear here (unless an all-new Smash Bros. game prompts me to write fully-updated essay-style Franchise Descriptions for each franchise's Universe article ;) ). Otherwise, I don't post or appear anywhere else on the Internet, and I don't give out my email address. 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 write the fully-detailed Franchise Descriptions for every character-based Universe page.


I noticed Omega Tyrant's Smash 4 Character Prediction game, but I'm not interested in any sort of prize and wouldn't want to take the chance away from anyone else. Even so, I'll just post here what would have been my own entry ballot and see how many of these are hits:

Ballot
  1. Peach
  2. Wario
  3. Waluigi
  4. Bowser Jr.
  5. Diddy Kong
  6. King K. Rool
  7. Sheik
  8. Toon Link
  9. Vaati
  10. Zero Suit Samus
  11. Krystal
  12. Jigglypuff
  13. Mewtwo (original)
  14. Zoroark
  15. Ice Climbers
  16. Viridi
  17. Mr. Game & Watch
  18. R.O.B.
  19. Captain Falcon
  20. Samurai Goroh
  21. Olimar
  22. Chrom
  23. Ike
  24. Isaac
  25. Matthew
  26. Andy
  27. Little Mac
  28. Ray Mk III
  29. Snake
  30. Sonic

I'm only choosing the original Mewtwo over the new forme for the ballot because I predict the forme to be some sort of alternative mode the original can either change into at will or have as a final smash. And I personally predict Matthew from Golden Sun: Dark Dawn will make it in and not Isaac, but I figure that if Isaac is the one that makes it in, I, of all people, should show my support by having had him on my ballot too. =D

Erik's Miscellany

Prior to my getting into the crazy wacky world of Action Replay for Melee, my Melee credentials included the following more hardcore achievements, all without the help of any Action Replay:

  • I have collected all 290 non-AR 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 credentials 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. Yes, I'm devoted.
