Hi, I'm Nullatrum. I have a popular youtube channel (named Nullatrum (who'da thunk it?)) mostly about Minecraft but one of my primary interests is Smash Bros. I've edited on wikis before, mostly zeldapedia and some others on the wikia sites. Yeah I could've just used my wikia account and stuck with smashbros.wikia.com, but lately wikia.com has just seemed to be a worse format and smashbros.wikia.com doesn't have as much stuff on PM, or as much stuff in general. I discovered the competitive scene with Melee and wanted to learn Wavedashing L Cancelling and all that jazz, and didn't bother with Brawl after learning how unpopular it is compared to Melee. Later, PM came out and I transitioned to that. And in the summer of 2014, I started to go to my first tournaments, where, for the most part, I lost or just got completely wrecked. Heh, I've gotta ways to go.
So that means I play usually 4 stock 8 minutes no items and legal stages. 20XX stuff right there, and the characters I pick are who seem the most fun to me. I fence in real life and do that competitively, which is surprisingly, mentally, similar to smash with "spacing" (different terms in fencing), the "rock paper scissors" (smash has attack, grab, shield, fencing has attack, compound attack, and parry), the whole independent mental game of it, and a lot of other things. So Marth was natural (heh) but I've been demoted on the hierarchy of players at Project M tourneys to "sword boy". I then moved around to Ike as he was unique and has a really big nair and cool uses with quickdraw as it can now be jump cancelled. That was, of course, until I found Lucas. I first found Lucas in PM (by "found" I mean really exposed to what he can do, I obviously knew of the character's existence) when I got 4-stocked 2 matches in a row by a smasher named Boss. I was playing Marth even, so I should have had the whole range advantage. Alas, he comboed me to extinction and it was glorious. So now I'm trying to sort of "follow in his footsteps" and combo with Lucas in cool ways. My favorite thing about Lucas has to be his meteor mash with his down air. Always fun, and you get three chances to land in a sense due to the triple kick sorta thing that goes with it.
As for Smash 4, I'm excited for its release. I'll play the 3DS version to hold me over in the summer, but will, if the game is good and not dead like Brawl, transition to the Wii U version. I'm excited to try out Wii Fit Trainer (seems actually kind of similar to Lucas with the charge-up move) and Greninja.
I also know Japanese.
Tourney Standings
Project M
| Tournament | Date | Place | Double's Place | Double's Partner |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Super Smash Sundays | May 25, 2014 | Did not make bracket | ||
| UGC Project M Bi-Weekly | May 31, 2014 | 17th | ||
| Super Smash Sundays Doubles | June 8, 2014 | 65th | 9th | Tator Nator |
At May 25, 2014 SSS I only played Marth in tourney and won one pool match but (obviously) didn't make it into brackets. UGC Project M Bi-Weekly at May 31, 2014, I then played Ike only and won my first match against a really new player, got wrecked by a Marth named Nicko, and then came close but lost to a Game and Watch (still as Ike). Then, in Doubles at SSS on June 9, it looks like Tator Nator and I beat Zero and Larry (lol) but really they just got a match loss because Larry was running late. In singles I just lost two matches, but the second match I was starting to come back at the end. I played Ike in the beginning of the tourney but shifted towards Lucas by the end. No Marth that day.
20XX
The perfect smash Bros. Game, Super Smash Bros. Ultima Fight Tekken Perfection vs Capcom 3, may exist currently, but there can be improvements made. A magical world where all characters are fox level in the tiers, where all stages are neutral or counterpick, where wifi has no lag, and where the game teaches advanced techniques like wavedashing and l-cancelling and short hopping. It would include all rosters (minus clones) and introduce the new, Fierce Deity Link as a playable character! (I like Zelda, like, a little bit)
MORE ON 20XX SOON
