Hiya!

[Defiant Shout]

Hey, I'm new here- but I guess that's pretty obvious already, and I've come here for a few reasons:

• Skype/Discord groups
  • Really want to improve my smash skills with a live chat, and find some people who I can relate to when speaking Smash (I also enjoy a good meme or two).
• Forum threads
  • People showing off their skills with characters gives me something to aspire towards.
• It's Smashboards
  • Why wouldn't I wanna be up to date on all the great stuff about smash. I'd like to not be outta the loop when in contact with friends after all.

"Heard about" the website by google, although a friend of mine had mentioned Skype groups, which most likely are based here.

Now there's a bunch of stuff I'm into besides Smash, namely League of Legends, but quite a few other games as well (mainly Nintendo, but Steam also has a big presence). I also really enjoy art, a bit of anime, and creative writing (although I'm pretty bad at it, so I really only pursue it during school breaks). My music taste is pretty broad, I really only dislike overplayed/mixed songs and screamo so I don't think I'll be fighting anyone over that. I'm into some other things as well, but I don't pursue these things nearly enough for them to be mentioned.

My Smash life is a mix between casual and competitive: I can't go to tourneys because my parents are pretty unable to take me anywhere and school has been exceptionally difficult since I've taken a real interest in smash, but I would love to go, and probably will be able to once I start college. My school actually has two Smash clubs, a more competitive and melee-based one, and one that's play what you bring, which is mostly casual. I'd also like to mention that the clubs aren't more than a bunch of high school kids of mixed talent, but are definitely impressive when it comes to the competitive club. I do play to win, and really only find friendly enjoyment when it's with people I know or am able to chat with, so yea, that's one of my quirks (I still play for glory, but it's more practice and me raging at lag occurring at all the wrong times). I have a few mains (as seen to the left, I believe), and each is mostly for enjoyment or capability, namely Luigi and Falco, for the easy wave dashing and my natural synergy with the character, respectively. My main on Wii U also isn't Falco simply because Wii U feels so different (I don't know why), and it'll be a while before I get used to it enough to be comfortable playing Falco.

I'm a part of the Stabyourself forum community, and a visitor of Mario Fan Games Galaxy forum as well, but each seems to be very small, and mostly joined due to the aforementioned friend. I want to get into game design eventually, but for now I'll just be perusing those websites and learning programming.

I think I'm gonna make a new avatar rather than reusing mine from other forums, so don't kill me for being default. :<

Welcome to Smashboards!

There should be a Skype group with the characters you main. You should check the characters boards for the Smash game you normally play. If not then you could try to create one.

Thanks for the welcome!
I'd like to ask if there's a good way to go about looking for a Skype/Discord group, since searching through posts (even on character specific forums for wii u), seems to be a very impossible task. Would it usually be stickied (or whatever the term may be), or does that only apply when a moderator (or any properly ranked official) of the forum makes the group?

Go to the forum for the character whose Skype group you want to join, and use the search box to search for "skype", making sure to tick "search this forum only". That should help you find relevant posts and threads more quickly.

Skype/Discord/etc groups aren't endorsed by Smashboards, so we don't sticky them (we don't ban or discourage them, they just aren't "official Smashboards xyz group"). A few are run by the moderators here, but most aren't.

I had done that already, but that clarifies why doing it is still difficult. Thanks anyways.
