I am a dedicated smasher from Schenectady, New York who has been playing Super Smash Bros. since I received Melee as a Christmas present about six years ago. It took a couple of years before I really got into it. But once I did, Melee was the game I played the most on the GCN, by far (more then 50% of my playtime on the GCN was on Melee). I was just one of the millions who anticipated Brawl's release. I preordered it and bought it the day it came out, despite not owning a Wii yet. I would have to wait 2 months before I could obtain a Wii and play Brawl. Like many others who played Melee dedicatedly, I noticed the physics differences immediately. Initially, I didn't like the physics changes and the loss of L-cancelling, but I would adapt to Brawl very quickly. Now, I prefer Brawl over Melee. I am very knowledgeable on both games (moreso on Brawl) as I have tested various aspects of the game such as how early every character's smash attacks KO, every character's endurance, and even how well every character can momentum cancel. I discovered various things not mentioned on this wiki such as Fox's dair in Melee was actually a spike and not a meteor smash, albeit a very weak one and how exactly priority works. My other gaming passion is the Pokémon series which are the only other games I had played as much as Super Smash Bros. I have spent over 2000 hours combined on my Brawl and Diamond files. For my smasherbeta image, I have a picture of my favorite pokémon, Tyranitar, that was drawn for me by someone who was dear to me.

Feats

I have spent countless hours on Melee and Brawl 1P modes and have accomplished many feats.

• In Melee, I cleared Classic and Crazy Hand on Normal with every character without continuing.
• In Melee, I cleared Adventure and Giga Bowser on Normal with every character w/o continuing.
• In Melee, I cleared Classic on Very Hard and Crazy Hand with Ganondorf w/o continuing.
• In Melee, I cleared Adventure on Very Hard with Ganondorf w/o continuing (I didn't beat fast enough to fight Giga Bowser, however).
• In Melee, I made it to the G&Ws in All Star on Very Hard with Ganondorf w/o continuing (they ended up killing me but I still managed to clear it).
• In Melee, I survived 15 Minute-Melee with every character.
• In Melee, I cleared Event 51 with every character and beaten it w/o stock loss with 17 characters (Dr.Mario, Bowser, Peach, Yoshi, C.Falcon, Ganondorf, Falco, Fox, Ness, Kirby, Samus, Link, Pikachu, Jigglypuff, Mewtwo, Marth, and Roy).
• In Melee using Ganondorf, I cleared Event 50 in 30 seconds and cleared Event 51 in 1m 04 sec.
• In Melee, I collected every trophy except Olimar's (I never owned or knew someone who owned Pikmin).
• In Brawl, I cleared Classic on Hard and defeated Crazy Hand with every character w/o continuing.
• In Brawl, I cleared Classic on Intense and defeated Crazy Hand with Fox and King Dedede w/o continuing (I did this despite Fox being a secondary character).
• In Brawl, I cleared Classic on Intense w/o continuing with 14 characters (Bowser, Ganondorf, Kirby, Meta Knight, King Dedede, Fox, Falco, Wolf, Pikachu, Lucario, Marth, Ike, Mr.G&W, and Snake).
• In Brawl, I cleared Classic on Intense with one stock w/o continuing with King Dedede. I also managed to defeat Crazy Hand with Master Hand in this run.
• In Brawl, I cleared All Star on Hard with every character w/o continuing.
• In Brawl, I cleared All Star on Intense w/o continuing with King Dedede and Snake.
• In Brawl, I cleared the Subspace Emissary with 100% on Intense, both from starting from the beginning and from replaying all the levels on Intense (the main difference is that you can pick any character you unlock on the replay-throughs but there is no way to restore any lost lives)
• In Brawl, I defeated Tabuu on Intense w/o taking damage and w/o using stickers with Diddy Kong, Lucario, and Marth. I also defeated the Duon on Intense w/o taking damage and w/o using stickers with Fox, Wolf, and Lucario.
• In Brawl, I cleared Boss Battles on Intense with every character. I also cleared it on Intense w/o using any heart containers. I have accomplished this with Marth, Fox, Wolf, Lucario, and Captain Falcon.
• In Cruel Brawl, I obtained at least 1 KO with every character and obtained 41 KOs with Pit and Meta Knight.
• In Brawl, I have collected every CD, trophy, and sticker. Note that I do not considered this to be that impressive and I'm simply listing it because other users have (the same applies for collecting the Melee trophies).

Character Information

In Melee, I tested every character to see who was my best. Needless to say, my favorite character, Ganondorf, was by far my best character. My second best and other primary character was Captain Falcon. My secondary characters of note were Falco, Marth, and Bowser (who was my bottom tier character). I was a masterful edgeguarder with Ganondorf, as my cousin noted once that each time he went off the edge, he didn't make it back.

For information about my characters in Brawl, read the rollover text on my competency chart.

Competency Chart

This is a chart showing my competency with every character in Brawl. I once tested every character in Brawl to see who was truly my best. However, the testing was against computer players, and took place a year and a half ago. As such, the results are very outdated and I now judge my competency chart by my analysis of my characters. When deciding a character's position, I analyze their performance against human players, how comfortable and fluid I feel playing the character, my knowledge of the character beyond statistics, and how often I win with them. I included a number of my overall judgment of my competence with the character, as a means to show the difference between characters. Snake, being my best, is given 15.00, which every other character is judged upon in comparison.

I also have a competency chart done for Brawl Minus. However, I do not have much to analyze in it, so it is largely estimation and feeling based. As such, it likely contains inaccuracies. I also omitted numerical ratings due to the lack of data to analyze.

vBrawl Competency Tiers
	S/Primary				A/Secondary
	1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9	10	11	12
	A character I was indifferent too during my early Brawl days, but I just absolutely love playing him now. But he stills has strong enough competition to not become the only character I play, unlike Ganondorf in Melee. 15.00	The one character I truly believe is underrated. His statistics are pretty damn good, I love his playstyle, and he has many attacks that are among my favorites (<3 d-smash, f-smash, bair, blaster, and d-throw) 14.90	My favorite/best before I started brawling with serious human players. Since then he has been eclipsed by Snake and Wolf, but I still find enjoyment and success when playing him. <3 the bair, u-tilt, and f-smash. 14.85	Outside of Smash Bros., he is my favorite character among the Smash Bros. cast. I love his entire moveset (especially the aerials). He has been a main since the beginning, though his status has dropped. 14.20	My favorite character in Melee, I found his unnecessary nerf painful. I still love the character and is my "bottom tier main". As such, unlike the other characters in my secondary tier, he sees about as much play time as my true mains. I just love his dair, uair, f-smash, and dash attack. 13.60	Like the aerials (besides fair >_<), his meteor smash, Phantasm, the chain throw, the DACUS (and the dash attack on its own), and the character himself. But I don't feel too competent when playing him 13.50	My former borderline main. There's a notable difference between him and Lucario, but there's an even bigger difference between him and Falco. I do win with him, but he has had numerous amounts of disappointing performances, and while there are times I feel great with him, sometimes I feel rather awkward playing him. However, he has been dropped, as I don't see the worth in continuing to main him nor do I like him enough to continue trying. 13.40	My second favorite and best in Melee that I considered unsalvageable in Brawl for so long, I've been able to play him surprisingly well lately. Playing him in the punish style, I saw remarkable improvement in him. His down throw is also one of my favorite throws in Brawl (second to Wolf's). 13.30	In my early days of Brawl, he arose as my first definitive top main. But when Dedede, Snake, and Falco began to rise through the ranks, he didn't improve enough. Then with the advent of serious human players to fight, and the higher rise of Lucario and Wolf, he was surpassed again. And he just couldn't keep up. His fair is still among my favorite attacks though. 12.90	Fulfilling the role in Melee that Ganondorf does in Brawl, I was ecstatic about his speed buffs. However, while he has been a character I played since the beginning (being at least secondary), he had too strong of competition and could not rise enough himself to reach the top. Like Ganondorf, he sees more playtime than the other secondaries, but not as much as the mains unlike Ganondorf. His hammer head f-smash is still my favorite smash attack in Melee and Brawl. 12.50	A character who's anime counterpart I despise (about as much as the anime itself), a Pokemon I dislike as a Pokemon, but as a Smash Bros. character, I actually like and respect him. Like Game & Watch though, he suffers handling issues and just isn't good enough to ever reach main status. 12.40	I like the turtle, Oil Panic momentum cancelling, and his smashes, but usually he just doesn't feel right when I play him. 12.00
			B/Tertiary
			13	14	15	16	17	18	19
			While I used to dislike Donkey Kong, he has warmed up to me over the years. I like his general power style, reach, and his insane surviving capabilities, but hasn't been good enough to surpass upper middle nor have I enjoyed him enough to put more effort into him. 11.00	A character I liked and played since the beginning. I love his power, fair, and jab, and there's nothing I really dislike about him, but he suffers from just not being good enough to attain main status. He also has a long losing streak against Havoc's Falcon (I lost count of how much it is >_<). 10.70	Love his offensive abilities, along with the dair, u-tilt and dat up smash. But I have some control problems when playing him, and he just dies so fast. When you factor in how easy he can be to combo too, he takes hits worst than any other character imo. 10.30	Undoubtedly the best character in the game, but I don't find him good enough to warrant a ban, and I'm not even sure if he deserves his own tier. While I like the character outside Smash Bros., I'm indifferent towards him as a Smash Bros. character (he's the only one of my four most anticipated characters who never reached main status (the other of the four anticipated were King Dedede, Lucario, and Wolf)). I find his style enjoyable and somewhat comfortable, but he lacks anything that really stands out to me. 10.25	He was my first definitive worst, and a character I absolutely felt unable to play. But having this distinction, I put effort into bettering him. He would then rise drastically through my competency tiers and I would come to like playing him. But he seems to have hit a competency ceiling and has been unable to ever reach the secondary tier. I like playing him aggro and utilising his air speed. On a side note, if Egg Roll didn't leave him helpless, he would of been an amazing momentum canceller and been among the top tier of surviving ability. 10.20	A character I find strange and foreign, but can enjoy playing. I'm too conservative with throwing Pikmin to ever excel with him though. 10.10	Always been among the upper middle, but hasn't appealed to me too much nor have I shown any notable competence with him. I like the character, though he lacks any attacks I especially like. 9.80

I absolutely hated this character in Melee (and was my worst), but I somewhat like her in Brawl. However, I find her character design terrible and is one of, if not the worst designs in the game imo. While she has plenty of good to great attacks, her design of "slow moving, tall lightweight character with a moveset consisting almost entirely of unreliable kill moves that don't mold well together" creates so many horrendous flaws for her. 8.80	I never liked this character, but I do decent with him. I do find a unique attribute of his is that while his overall power is weak (only having three attacks that can reliably KO under 150%, with one not being readily available), his few finishers are such good finishers that he doesn't have the finishing problems that many of the characters in his power tier and lower do. 8.70	I have always been dislike to indifferent to this character. While I do decent with him, he doesn't feel right often and I do not like his style. His arrows can be fun to spam though :p 8.45	A character I never liked as I hate the 2 in 1 character gimmick (due to gameplay issues it brings up). Despite my dislike for them, I can do decent with them (though my style with them is pretty basic). 8.30	I like his aerials and back throw, but I heavily dislike his smashes (among the worse smash sets imo). I also dislike his recovery (who doesn't?), and overall, I don't feel too competent when playing him. 8.20	I never liked Mario as a Smash Bros. character, typically being among my low competency tier. He has rose a little bit over the past year and I'm not so bad with him. I like his juggling capabilities, but he lacks anything outstanding for me, and I heavily dislike that he lacks reliable finishers outside smash attacks. 8.15	I like his smashes and think he has among the best smash sets. However, I do not like anything else he has, and think he has a poor aerial game that is possibly among the worst. Overall, I just feel average when playing him, though I have a lot of difficulty racking up damage with him. 8.00	A character I surprisingly liked playing a lot in Melee, its nerfs were too much for me to play it with enjoyment or competency in Brawl. Though it is a character I like to fool around with. One thing about Jigglypuff is I believe it should have never been in Smash Bros., and Mewtwo was the superior choice instead in both SSB64 and Brawl. 7.15	Like Sheik, though I sometimes use him for joke reasons. 7.00	I like Charizard and would probably be about tertiary if I could play him as a standalone character (<3 his grab). I'm indifferent towards Squirtle and Ivysaur is one of my most disliked characters. As for the Pokemon Trainer gimmick, I find it useless and just an unnecessary attempt to make a "unique" character. I think all of the Pokemon would be better as standalone characters, and if they weren't significant enough to be standalone characters, Mewtwo should of just been kept instead of introducing such a pointless and terrible gimmick. As such, I do hope this gimmick does not return in the next Smash Bros., and really hope they don't introduce more characters with this gimmick. 6.95	I used to initially hate this character, but has warmed up to me some. I still don't like him though, and can't play him too well. 6.90	I like his aerial game and his u-smash, but I just can't play him well enough. The only thing I really dislike about him is his grab. 6.85	Luigi is a character I like, outside of Smash Bros., and he has plenty of attacks I like (gotta love the spear hand). However, I can't really do well with him. He is awkward to play for me, and I don't really like his overall play style. 6.70

				While I don't dislike Link, I just could never play him well nor enjoy playing him. 6.20	A character I never really liked nor could play well. I find her too weak, and her physics are pretty awkward to me. 6.10	The character I loathe the most. I find the character annoying, and do not enjoy playing her as well (though she gets played once in a while for joke reasons). 6.00	The character I have the least experience with. I don't enjoy playing her nor has she appealed to me enough to try her out much. 5.95	The character I dislike playing most in Brawl. I completely dislike her playing style, and there's really nothing about her I like. 5.90
