User blog:Smasher51/User Interveiws/DerpyDoodle

Hello Everyone. Recently I wanted to do a blog post, but couldn't think of one to do. So, one of the things that came to mind was a thing that Sonic News Network (The Sonic Wiki) does. What they do is they have a featured user like we had for a while (And will once again after the bracket challenge), but they have a little twist. They interview the featured user. I didn't look into the process exactly, but I thought that I should try my hand at it. I plan to do a new one of these at least once a week at most, and five days at least in between each one. One thing I had to look for was activity. Some users were extremely active, while others were not as active (not trying to force guilt on anyone. It's not like everyone's gonna hate you for not being active 24/7), but one of the first users that came to mind was DerpyDoodle, who will probably go down in Smash history as one of the biggest contributors to the wiki. Anyway, to the interview.

Q: What experience have you had with the Smash Franchise?
A: I first played Smash Bros in late 2012 when my friend brought over a copy of Brawl. I played it and got hooked pretty quickly. A few months later, I went to another friend's house, and he had Melee, so I tried it out, but I didn't really like it that much. I now own a copy of Brawl. I've unfortunately never gotten to play SSB 64 or Project M, but I hope to do so in the future. I've obsessed about SSB4 for a really long time, but since I don't have a Wii U or a 3DS, I've only gotten to play the demo version twice at stores. It is a pretty good game though.

Q: How long have you been on the wiki?
A: Technically I've been on this wiki since February 18, 2014, so slightly over a year, although I only created a blog before going inactive for two months. I started getting seriously active after the April 8 Nintendo Direct came out and I saw that there were many special moves revealed that needed pages.

Q: Who is/are your main(s) in the series
A: Currently, my Brawl main is Marth, and I hope to pick him or Lucina up in SSB4. I also play Falco, Luigi, and Zelda a lot. On the occasional chance that I play Melee, I normally play as Falco.

Q: What are some things you like on this wiki?
A: One thing I really like this wiki is the relaxed atmosphere. On the other wiki I'm active on, there are a ton of rules you must abide by and the community is severe if you break them. I get the chance to write blogs and forums and interact with the community in ways that I wouldn't get to do on that wiki. And even though we're relaxed, we still have users who are dedicated to quality and can help stop something from getting out of control.

Q: What else do you like to do or interests you?
A: When I'm not in school or on the wiki, I like to read, draw, and occasionally write fanfiction. I'm also a part of Stage Crew at my school's drama club. I'm into manga and anime and I like to read/watch it whenever I get the chance.

Q: Any last thoughts?
A: I can't wait for Mewtwo and perhaps other DLC to come out! Maybe then the wiki will regain some life.

Well, that's all for now. But stay tuned for the next interview and a blog where I list, in my opinion, the worst items in Smash 4.
