Hello, my name is John. I knew about Smash back in 2009, but it was only until the spring of 2014 when my friends really got me into it. Credit goes to Snake for getting me to play. If it weren't for his presence in Brawl, I probably wouldn't be writing this page. Back then, I thought Nintendo made dumb games for kids and stuff (don't worry, I've changed my mind!). Naturally, Snake getting cut from SSB4 has disappointed me, but luckily, I've warmed up to the other characters, and have since enjoyed playing games such as Fire Emblem and EarthBound.

My opinions on the Smash games I've played

Melee

I haven't played Melee in years, but I've seen lots of cool tournament videos for it. If I played it again, I would enjoy it, considering it was the basis for Project M. If anyone would rather play Melee than Project M, I would understand, but I would rather play PM because it has the same great gameplay and more content.

Brawl

I don't dislike Brawl, especially since it was my first Smash game I was really into, but nowadays, I think it is too slow. That said, I don't think it is fair to compare Brawl to Melee, considering how radically different both games are. It's like comparing apples to oranges. I can respect the chess like nature of competitive Brawl matches, and the skill needed to pull off some of the advanced techniques, but I dislike the game's campy nature and the lack of character balance. If I'm going to play a Smash game nowadays, I would rather play one other than Brawl.

Project M

Project M is definitely my favorite Smash game to play. I used to dislike it, but thanks to me doing fairly well with Zelda in the mod, I got into it. After a while, I mained Snake, just like I used to in Brawl. When 3.5 came around, I disliked the changes made to Snake, and eventually started maining Ness. I personally think I'm better with PM Ness than any other character in any Smash game. Project M got even better when my friend told me how to replace the music files. I have put in many EarthBound/Mother songs and many Ace Combat songs, among other things. My personal favorite is Agnus Dei from Ace Combat 4, which I put on Final Destination. You should listen to it sometime. I just want to know how to change song names. If anyone knows how to do that, and tells me how, I would be thankful!

Smash 4

SSB4 is okay, but I have lots of complaints about it. I like the game's character balance, and the addition of Omega Mode stages is great. Now for the things I dislike:

• I dislike the new ledge grabbing physics. It has become impossible to edgehog, which I thought was a great thing.
• I dislike the "black lightning" that comes when you've been hit with the mortal blow, since it is very inconsistent. Sometimes, you die after black lightning, sometimes you don't.
• The game's main theme is very overused. People say the same thing about Brawl, I guess, but I liked Brawl's theme way more, so it never bothered me.
• Fox's and Ness's new voices are terrible. Also, in my opinion, Ness looks a bit creepy. His face lost color and his eyes are kind of blank.
• Some new characters. I don't think Palutena, Dark Pit, and Wii Fit Trainer are good additions to the game in terms of valuable Nintendo characters. Little Mac and Villager deserve to be in the game, but their movesets seem to be designed to be cheap. They rely on a campy playstyle that isn't too fun to play against.

Character Wishlist

• King K. Rool. Never played a game with him in it, but seriously, imagine all the fun you would have beating your friends with the big fat alligator king! He's cool and has tons of moveset potential.
• Wolf. Can't let you cut that, Sakurai!
• Slippy. This one is mostly a joke. He could either have a unique moveset or just be a Fox clone, but either way, it would be fun to beat him up in training mode.
• Sceptile. A popular character request. My friend and I thought up a whole moveset for this Pokémon.
• Blaziken. Blaziken is famous enough to deserve to be in Smash, it would represent Pokémon Gen 3, and it could be an incredibly easy clone of Captain Falcon.
• Paula. Honestly, they should give her Lucas's special moves, since she learns all of those in EarthBound. Then give Lucas some more unique stuff like Offense Up, PSI Shield, Lifeup, and PK Love.
• Lyn. One of the three main characters of the first Fire Emblem game released internationally. She has the potential to have a very unique moveset. I can imagine a Mani Katti Critical Hit as her Final Smash.
• Snake. I understand why he was cut, but the roster seems to be missing something without him. I want him back!
• Knuckles, Shadow, or Eggman. By the time SSBV comes out, it's safe to say Sonic will get another representative. All three of these would make good choices imo.
• Optimus Prime. Yes, the chance of him being in Smash is pretty much impossible (you thought Ridley was too big). But if I'm correct, Transformers is popular in Japan, so you never know. One condition though: He has to have his Generation 1 design. Generation 1 is the best Transformers series.
• Shrek.
