I'm 56K, welcome :) This is my user page, you can check out my smasher page here: 56K.

About me
I am currently a college student at the University of Minnesota in St. Paul, MN. I am 19 years old, and am about to finish my first year. My current major is Computer Science. I hope to have a career as a programmer of some sort. I like to listen to old-school rap, most of the new stuff isn't as good :P. My favorite types of games are arcade games, fighting games, and classic adventure games. I like learning what makes games tick. Glitches, codes, and debug modes are very interesting to me. If I have a broken or malfunctioning controller, I always try to fix it if it's too old to refund :). I'm usually successful. Sometimes I take parts from defunct controllers to fix other ones.

My best characters
This list represents my ability with the listed characters. I ranked them in my own opinion of my skill with said character. For example, although many people will tell me that my Ice Climbers and my Peach are much harder for them, I think that I am more skilled with Game & Watch, he is simply lower tier making him easier to fight against. My first main was Ganon, this was back when SSBM first came out and I only played with my close friends. When I started learning advanced techniques and playing against more skilled players, I decided to find a smaller, quicker character. I originally chose Game & Watch as a joke with my friends because I thought he was really bad, but he was such a strange and comedic character that I decided to get really skilled with him. He quickly became my favorite character. I didn't think he had much potential but after watching videos of ChuDat and DireVulcan's Game and Watch I was convinced that he could be a great character in the right hands.

Influential Smashers
These smashers influenced me to play the characters I play now. I am a Youtube whore. A good amount of time that I spend developing my smash game is spent sitting in front of my computer analyzing smash matches. Even if someone is using a character that I don't play, I will still watch and analyze their movements and decisions. I try to pick up as much as I can from watching the videos, and then see what does and doesn't work for me when I play with others.

56K's SSBM tier list
This is my opinion as to what the tier list should be. A lot of this may be biased by the smashers I play with a lot, but oh well. I know that tons of people will disagree with this list. That's why I made it. Whatcha gonna do about it? :P
