Hey, I'm RikotheFoxKid. There's some information about me in the box and some stuff below, so check it out!

Biography
I first played Super Smash Bros. in 2002 at a friend's house. At the time I was unaware of Melee's existance, probably due to the fact that I just learned about the first one.

Since I just started, you would expect I was really bad. The first person I ever played as was Pikachu, probably because I was obsessed with Pokemon (I still like it, but not as much). After a while, I decided to start using Kirby. Then I learned there were 4 secret characters, but I only knew about Jigglypuff and Luigi. Then that ended my playing of Super Smash Bros. 64.

Then about 2 years later, I go to another friends house and find out about Melee. The first person I played as was Ness. I don't know why I picked Ness, but it was probably because at lunch I would always imitate him, going "PK FIRE" and "PK THUNDER", but he's still one of my favorites (see the box). The first stage I ever played on was Temple.

Then another friend of mine got Melee, and I learned about all the secret characters. Out of the 11, the ones I didn't know were in the game were Dr. Mario, Mewtwo, Young Link, Marth, Roy, Ganondorf, Falco, and Mr. Game & Watch. At this time, I was TERRIBLE at Melee.

But then I got a Gamecube, and the second game I bought was Melee. Now I've gotten better at it.

Like just about the entire population of the world, I anticipated the release of Brawl, and on March 10th, one day after its release, I got it, and I cleared it within a week. To show how much skill I have, within that time, Sonic became my best character.

One of my best friends is also me greatest rivals in Super Smash Bros. We've been competing since I got Melee. He used Dr. Mario or Young Link in Melee, and in Brawl he uses Toon Link, Wolf, and Mr. Game & Watch. I am pretty close to him, but he has some serious skill in Super Smash Bros.

That's basically all that there is about me.

What I Think About Certain Stats
In the Super Smash Bros. Brawl Guide Book, each character gets a rating in 5 different stats. I have individual opinions for each of these stats:

Offense: I consider offense to be pretty useful, but one can win without it (R.O.B. is an example). If a character I use is based around offense, then I'll stick with them.

Defense: I don't consider defense a big deal, but if someone is a supreme lightweight (like Pichu or Jigglypuff), then I would probably suck as them.

Projectile: I consider projectile attacks pretty important and characters who lack projectiles have a big disadvantage against projectile users (thus, when I play as Sonic, I quickly rush towards the nearest Super Scope, Ray Gun, or Cracker Launcher).

Grab: I don't care much for grabs, but I do think use them frequently. The only time that I care about grabs is when I'm playing as Mewtwo.

Final Smash: Final Smash varies. If you're character is one of those who can kick the crap out of someone without a Final Smash, I really don't mind playing without them. But if you're playing as someone who lacks a good finisher (like Sonic), then you should go chase after that Smash Ball!

Speed: I consider speed very important. It's gonna be really hard for your opponent to kill you if they can't catch you!

Home-Run Contest
I'm not one of those crazy people who can go over 10000 feet in the Home-Run Contest, but I'm not terrible. I've only done the Contest with 3 characters though, and these are my rankings by character (in Brawl):

1: Ganondorf

2: Sonic

3: Yoshi

Tier Lists
Okay, I'll be honest, until I found this Wiki I had not a clue that tiers existed! For that long I believed Jigglypuff was the best (REST IS BEAST!!!).

I don't believe the Tier List is true, but I'm not one of those people who throws a fit about it. So if people think certain characters are better, I won't mind, because if you haven't noticed, my Melee characters are all considered the worst (except for Fox), and my favorite even holds the honor of holding bottom place!

Another thing I would like to note is how the five different tiers are unbalanced. I mean come on, there are 26 characters! You could put 5 in the Top, High, Low, and Bottom, and then 6 in the Middle! But they decide to put 2 in the top and about 10 in the bottom!

Another thing, Mewtwo deserves to be somewhere other than the bottom! So his attacks suck, but his grabs are his main asset! Power and attack isn't everything!

My Tier Lists
I have made my own custom Tier Lists for all 3 games. 5 of my friends and I all agree they're pretty accurate, but I'll take suggestions. The 5 tiers on each of these lists are evenly balanced. So Top doesn't have two, and bottom doesn't have ten:

SSB Tier List

SSBM Tier List

SSBB Tier List

SSBB

 * Olimar has been promoted to 13.
 * King Dedede has been demoted to 29.

My Opinion on Tournament Legality of Brawl Stage
When tournaments arise for Brawl, there are going to be stages that will be banned. Here's what I think for each stage.

75m: This stage will most likely be banned due to the large size, close blast lines, and the incredible knockback that Donkey Kong and the springs create.

Battlefield: I usually don't go here, but I find it safe to say that this is the most fair stage in Brawl.

Bridge of Eldin: This stage could possibly be banned due to Puff Up glitch (I get this from the fact that Brinstar Depths was banned in Melee for th very same reason). However, aside from that, this stage would probably be legal. It is also possible that since tournaments usually turn off items, they will turn of Final Smash as well.

Castle Siege: This should be legal.

Delfino Plaza: This will be legal.

Distant Planet: Possibly be banned because of the creature that eats you, but if you get eaten it's your own stupid fault!

Final Destination: I must say this is the SECOND most fair stage in Brawl. Only projectile users get an advantage here.

Flat Zone 2: The same thing will happen to Flat Zone 2 as what happened to Flat Zone 1: BANNED!!

Frigate Orpheon: I think this stage is pretty fair.

Green Hill Zone: I only see problems with the checkpoint and the Puff Up glitch, but other than that I'm fine.

Halberd: Nothing wrong with this stage.

Hanenbow: Nothing wrong here.

Luigi's Mansion: Fair Stage, except when the mansion breaks, then the Final Destination effect occurs.

Lylat Cruise: I see nothing wrong with this stage.

Mario Bros.: This stage will be banned within 3 seconds! IT IS WAY TO EASY TO DIE IN THIS STAGE!!!

Mario Circuit: Fair

Mushroomy Kingdom: This stage is fair. However if World 1-2 is formed and someone goes on top, Pikachu will have a big advantage.

New Pork City: This is my favorite Stage, but I have to say it will probably be banned, because of its large size and the Ultimate Chimera.

Norfair: They banned Planet Zebes and Brinstar, right? Then they'll most likely ban Norfair.

Pictochat: Possibly, due to the fire and rockets that occasionally appear.

Pirate Ship: Fair

Pokemon Stadium 2: Fair

Port Town Aero Drive: It's basically Mute City.

Rumble Falls: This will probably be banned because of the spikes.

Shadow Moses Island: I think this stage is really fair, with no hazards.

Skyworld: This stage is fair.

Smashville: To tell the truth, I've barely ever been here, but it looks fair to me.

Spear Pillar: This one's tough. It's fair in the fact that there's only one hazard, but that hazard can get pretty deadly, especially when the stage turns upside down are mirrored.

Summit: That killer fish could possibly ban this stage.

WarioWare: Since items are usually off, getting the boosts from the minigames in this level would cause an unfair advantage. Thus, this stage will probably be banned.

Yoshi's Island: Fair as far as I know.

Melee Stages: Same legality as in Melee.
