Smash History and Information

TheBlueBlade has been smashing for eight years, competitively for four years. Brawl has brought out some new horizons, as Blade uses four different characters, including his mains of Lucas and Sonic, and he seconds at Wolf. He uses Marth as his main and Yoshi as his secondary in SSBM, and he mains Pikachu in Smash 64. Although he is not totally skilled at Melee, he is quite skilled at Smash 64. Blade's first ever Smash tournament was MELEE-FC in July of 2004, finishing near the bottom. Ever since, he has participated in the last two MELEE-FC tournaments, and he had the same results. Blade also attended South Bend Smash League in the summer of 2006, which fell through at the end of September 2006. He revived South Bend Smash League in November 2007, but it shortly ended after in March 2008. Blade made his Brawl debut on February 9th, 2008, and he finished 4th, his best finish ever in a Smash tournament. Blade has become a respected tournament director throughout the Midwest. He hosted two Midwest Circuit events, Well Thought Out Name, and co-hosted with Blood Hawk and Kel, the Midwest Circuit Championship.
