Hey folks. So, I'm me, and this is about me, and things me likey or me do.

For the record, I'm not as self-centered as that sounded.

Attributes
I'm a competitive Brawl enthusiast who wishes he'd be into playing hardcore back in the days of Melee, but has relegated himself to enjoying and improving exclusively in Brawl, despite its many technical shortcomings to its predecessor. I play in the Central Jersey area, residing near the coast and making appearances when I can in tournaments near Rutgers University, but I've only participated in a couple of tourneys so far with nothing much to show. To be fair, the competition is always steep. The area is crawling with veteran Smashers, including M2K himself, and the nearby NY scene is no different. TehSpamerer actually roomed across the hall from my Smash buddies this semester (not that we played him much, though). NinjaLink, Inui, Atomsk...I've frequently seen these and dudes like these play up close, and I've had the opportunity to get trounced by them a couple of times. Up till recently, my primary training rival was the best Yoshi on the East Coast, a master of pivot-grabs, chain releases, b-air/up-smash combos, u-air placement, off-edge egg camping, and all those excellent things Yoshi can do to win. And I do okay. Not great, but okay.

Mains
1. Sonic

2. Pokémon Trainer (primary = Charizard)

3. Samus

4. Falco

5. Zelda

For some reason, I started playing Brawl with Wario but failed to grasp his play-style before moving to Pokémon Trainer and spending a large amount of time trying to be decent with him. I slowly realized how awful he could be with poor mastery, and switched to Sonic, my originally intended Brawl main. I found him to be way fun to play as, and even though I feel the crunch on killing to this day, I'm managing (GO!). I came back to Trainer when I realized how freaking awesome Charizard is, and honestly I'd be a Charizard-only main if I could, because he's middle-tier (at least) by himself. Samus I picked up out of a love for Metroid, and I'm a bit of a d-air whore, so I've worked up a play-style to land as many d-airs as possible, no matter where I am. ^_^ Falco and Zelda are similar in that regard, except Falco actually has a great one for on-stage usage, whereas Zelda's sucks, but I'm working it into my game anyways. Also, up-smash spam = yay.

Purpose
My goal here at SmashWiki is simple. Much to my chagrin, both this place and, to a FAR greater extent, GameFAQs, lag behind Smashboards in displaying crucial pieces of knowledge regarding characters in Brawl. There are a large number of entries that are clear and concise, with good summarizing of both advanced and basic character attributes, but many low or middle-tier characters seem to get the Sakurai treatment, wherein only the most basic, and occasionally not quite true, elements are explained. I don't claim to be a master at anything in the game, but I sure as hell can improve both the Sonic and Samus pages, and I've already tripled the "Attributes" sections in the Charizard and Ivysaur pages (too much writing perhaps, but it's definitely accurate, lemme' tell ya). I'm something of a low-tier warrior in that regard. I enjoy playing with Ganondorf as well, though I'm horrible at ACing the d-air, landing the pseudo-spike up-air, and other stuff, so I'd only be able to offer a few things there.

Future of my Entry
This'll all be cleaned up and less texty once I start doin' some more contributing. Tha's about it.

You Dudes/ettes
Anytime you wanna' talk strategy on my mains, I'm down. Also, as I'm a newbie here, lemme' know if there's anything I can do to fit in better.
