Hello all, I am MintyGuy700 a smasher from Minnesota. I play all of the Smash games, though I primarily play Smash 4.
Hello all, I am MintyGuy700, a [[smasher]] from Minnesota. I enjoy playing each ''Smash'' title, though I play mostly ''[[Ultimate]]'' and a bit of ''[[Melee]]''.


==Smash career==
===2012===
My ''Smash'' story begins in 2012 when I notice a copy of ''Melee'' at this pawn shop while out running errands with my dad. At this point, I'm twelve years old and have to explain to my dad why I think ''Melee's'' ''T'' ESRB rating is too high and that I ought to be able to play it no problem. Miraculously, he agrees to buy it as long as I pay him back once we get back home. Later on this year, I would also get ''Brawl'' from a Toys "R" Us, citing to my mom the same "''T'' is too high for this game" reasoning. I enjoyed both games casually, slightly preferring ''Melee'' to ''Brawl'' for whatever reason. All the same, I only really play casually and later that year, I've begun playing [[Minecraft]] for the first time and become hooked on that.


'''Under Construction'''
===2013===
Through the majority of 2013, I play little of ''Smash'', only ever breaking it back out when having over neighbors or classmates. However, in October I get grounded, which means no more video games—particularly Minecraft—for me for a while. In late November, my mom allows me to use the [[Wii]] in the mornings before I go to school. With said opportunity I began playing ''Brawl'' again. Once my grounding was lifted, I became interested in becoming better in ''Brawl''—then I find a {{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fv1A12CfWog|title=video}} by {{Sm|Dapuffster}} outlining different skill levels of the game. With no knowledge that Minnesota even had a competitive scene, I began watching [[VGBootCamp]] videos and slowly improving at ''Melee'' by playing [[CPU]]s and my younger brother, (He's the "{{Sm|TriforceMayhem}}" I teamed with once.) and at ''Brawl'' with him, CPUs and later using the [[IRC]] a few times. In December, I buy an [[N64]] and ''[[Smash 64]]'' to complete my collection of ''Smash'' titles.
 
===2014===
I continue very slowly getting better at ''Smash'' battling some users on the IRC, including [[User:Scr7/Player_Matchups#MintyGuy700|Scr7]]. I watch [[The Smash Brothers]] documentary, make my [[SmashBoards]] account in May and closely follow news about the newest ''Smash'' title, ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'' all year. In October and November, my brother and I go to Target on the morning of both release days to get {{for3ds}} and {{forwiiu}}, respectively. I hold a small [[Single Elimination Bracket|single elimination bracket]] in my house the weekend after ''Smash Wii U'' is released, having invited over classmates and neighbors for it.
 
===2015===
Still unaware of my state's scene, in March I receive a challenge request from {{Sm|Triple R}} on [[Anther's Ladder]] during one session, a real stroke of luck considering how infrequently he used the website to begin with. After our set, he links me to the MN Smash [[Facebook]] group and provides a list of upcoming events. I ask my dad to take me to a ''Smash'' event in Saint Cloud, Minnesota which he agrees to do, and finally on April 19th, I go to my first tournament along with my brother. It's a breakout performance. I eliminated a top 50 Minnesota player and took a game off of the third best in state at the time, {{Sm|Dexter|p=Minnesota}}. I only attended a handful more events this year, but the seed is planted and I yearned to compete more.
 
===2016===
I {{cite web|url=https://challonge.com/qr314mkn|title=win my first doubles tournament,}} Triple R carrying my entire weight that bracket.
 
===2018===
I {{cite web|url=https://www.facebook.com/groups/MNSmash/permalink/2070317803024654/|title=make statistical top 50 in state.}}
 
===2019===
I {{cite web|url=https://challonge.com/THB10|title=win my first singles tournament.}} Which makes it even funnier when I then go on vacation to Japan and {{cite web|url=https://smash.gg/tournament/tokyo-nights-26-ashman-aether-saga-pt-i/|title=go 0-2 for the first time in ''Ultimate''}} at the very next event I attend.
