User:Mako Shark



Hey, I'm Mako Shark (also Tiger Shark, shortened to Shark). The name "Mako Shark" refers to a type of mackerel shark that lives in most parts of the ocean. I'm originally from Canberra, Australia, but I'm living in Japan at the moment, during my gap year between university and year 12. In Canberra, I played Brawl regularly with other competitors, but at the moment I can't meet or play anyone due to my incompetent language skills.

My favourite Brawl characters are Wolf and Falco, because they both look incredibly cool and have badass attitudes, and my favourite Melee characters are Pichu, because of his humorous and role, and Roy, because... Roy's our boy.

I founded this group for my tiny state, the Australian Capital Territory.

On Smash Wiki
On Smash Wiki, I enjoy grammar policing, making multiple, successive, minor edits, being obsessive over tiny page layout details, and writing excruciatingly long, stubborn posts on talk pages that people often give up responding to. I also never remember to sign my posts. I think the sysops around here ought to lighten up, be more accepting and optimistic, learn some manners, and learn to admit their own mistakes without being so critical of everyone else.

Contributions
The following is a list of my contributions on this Wiki. Many of them involve editing whole articles for clarification, grammar, structure and readability, and the word "editing" denotes this unless otherwise specified. However, I don't always edit articles' Trivia sections.


 * Momentum Canceling - editing. A joint project with Omega Tyrant.
 * Freeze frame - editing, added a visual example.
 * Newcomer - editing.
 * Wolf (SSBB) - editing, added two images.
 * Wolf Flash, Fire Wolf, and Wolf's sections of Blaster and Reflect - editing.
 * Added Power Rankings pages for the Australian states of Queensland and New South Wales. Note that I don't endorse or reject the idea of Power Rankings, I'm just compiling.

Fox and Falco's throw damage
I discovered the percentages dealt by Fox and Falco's up, down and back throws in Brawl, including the exact damages of the physical throws versus the accompanying laser shots. This was discovered by using the throws on Bowser in Training Mode, while Bowser was wearing a Franklin Badge. The badge prevented Bowser from being damaged by the lasers, so he only took damage from the physical throw. This was repeated with each throw ten times for consistency, but the percentage that each physical throw deals is an integer anyway. Each throw was then performed on Bowser ten times without the Franklin Badge, and the results were compared. Again, the damage percentage dealt by each throw was an integer. Here are the results:

Upcoming work
The following is a list of articles that I plan to create or edit in future.


 * Super Smash Bros. Logo - I think the logo needs its own article.
 * Priority - A joint project with Omega Tyrant.
 * Various smasher articles for current competitive Australian smashers.

Outside of Smash
Elsewhere on the internet, I have a deviantART account, but it rarely gets updated. I also use a Wikipedia account, and I use msn for conversations; ask if you'd like my address.
