I was kind of hoping for someone else to go first but I can’t wait any longer. Here are my questions Kinzer.
-When you first met me back at Brawl til you fall, what was your first impression of me?
"Oh hey, another Sonic player!"
-Do you think I ask for way too much help from you for Sonic advice?
Certainly not. I try to help everybody as much as I possibly can.
-Do you think the Vegas Smash Brawl community will ever revive again in the future or is it dead and cannot be recovered?
It would take a miracle to get everybody interested in Brawl again, as well as getting some of the lazy-*** smashers to actually drive/carpool to the tournaments.
-Who was the biggest inspiration to help you improve your Sonic to the point where it is today?
It's impossible to single-out one specific person. I wouldn't be where I am today if it weren't for the entirety of this sub-forum, giving me advice, tips, critiques, and all that stuff.
-Would you ever Sonic ditto money match me?
Only if I really needed the money, otherwise we are friends and I don't mainly play for the money.
-Do you consider me as your ‘Sonic Rival’?
More like an apprentice.
-What is your favorite Sonic game from both new school and old school series?
Sonic 3 & Knuckles for undisputed best old-school Sonic game. New Generation would have to go to SA2. I must've logged countless hours raising Chao without having known the glitch.
-What are your top 3 favorite Sonic characters? How about top 3 least favorite?
Do transformations count as their own characters?
For favorite, it'd have to be Sonic, Tails, and Robotnik.
As for my least favorite, that'd go to Shadow, Chip, and Chris.
-I always believe (and continue to believe) that our matchup is in your favor like around 60:40. What is your belief of our matchup?
We go even. The only reason I continue to win is due to my seniority, more knowledge, and probably the mindset I have about competitive gaming in general.
-What was your best match that you ever had?
It would have to go to a Sonic ditto match. Any of them to be frank. I always love to play against another skilled Sonic player to get some ideas from them.
-Other than Brawl and Sonic games, what other games do you like to play on your free time?
There's Hisoutensoku, then WoW. I really don't do much else as of late.
-Have you read any of the Archie Sonic comic book series?
Yes, but I got bored of comic reading. I tried to get into it but I suppose I can't stand motionless pictures. If somehow they put the comic series...es(?) on a film or show I'd watch every episode/film for sure.
-When Sonic was first announced in Brawl, what was your first reaction?
I didn't even know he was in this game until I got it and looked on the back cover. I originally got this game because it was a successor to Melee, and I spent a lot of my time casually playing Melee and since I enjoyed it I thought Brawl would be everything Melee was and better. I also intended to main Ike when I got Brawl. I still enjoy playing Brawl with other competitive players, but after all I've changed and I seem to have outgrown both casual Brawl and Melee and neither seem to keep my attention for long unless there's Sonic involved in Brawl.
-If you were part of the team the created Brawl, what would you do to Sonic and to the other characters? What characters would you add or remove from Brawl?
For the sake of balance, I would give Sonic either set-ups into his kill moves, or make his supposed "strong-moves" stronger.
As for characters I'd remove from rawl, scrap Olimar, R.O.B., ICs, and G&W. I don't even care about the broken that is Snake, Meta Knight; and all that jazz, those guys specifically are boring characters, and it doesn't help that they all play so freaking Gay.
As for who I would like to see added? Probably Megaman for sure. Maybe Bomberman but I'm not exactly sure what they could do to him to make him fit into this game. I can't really think of anybody else At this moment, there are simply too many characters from too many gaming universes to possibly fit in here.
-Do you want a Rosy the Rascal plushie?
Oh Sweet Jesus NO!
-Which version of “It Doesn’t Matter”, Believe in Myself”, and “Unknown from M.E.” did you prefer?
SA1's It Doesn't Matter, Believe in Myself, and if I had to pick my poison, Unknown from M.E.
-“Live and Learn”, “Open Your Heart”, or “Knight of the Wind”, which one did you like more?
Knight of the Wind.
-What Sonic character(s) represents your personality the best?
I still believe Silver's naive but good-willed personality fits me best.
-What are your top 3 Anime you like?
...Do ecchis count as anime? Is it even a good idea to mention it on a forum with minors?
Well, me being a minor myself (though for much longer!) I guess I shouldn't be watching Sekerei to begin with, but that'd be on the top of the list. I'm waiting for the second season to come out in full. Sue me.
G Gundam is a close second. I remember watching that show so much when I was younger, and having recently rewatched the whole thing, it bright back memories. Too bad it was only 49 episodes long, but oh well! I even had Gundam Battle Assault II because of that game. God I was stupid to get rid of it, now I want to play it so bad for nostalgia.
...Hmm, I really don't watch that many animes. Cartoon shows sure, but if we're strictly speaking animes, the only other series I actually did finish watching was Neon Genesis Evangelion. Again, a short anime, only 26 episodes long, and the ending was lackluster, but I enjoyed marathoning that too.
-What type of music genre do you like?
Anything but the ******** rap that only talks about drugs, killing, and ***ing *****es. Country can be unbearable at times too but some country songs I do like. I can't mention any in particular though ATM, there aren't that many diamonds in the rough when it comes to those two genres to me.
You also can't go wrong with the oldies.
But if I had to pick a specific genre, VGM all the way.
-What is your favorite Megaman game you played?
The first Megaman X. I spent countless hours on that game, and it's no thanks to the first Sigma Castle boss. That freaking spider...
-If you could be any Sonic character, what character would you be?
They call me Sonic! 'Cause I am faster than sound, I keep 'em jumpin' around! Blue Hedgehog Sonic, with incredible speed, I'm movin' my feet!
-Where did you get your name “Kinzer” from?
I got my name from playing one of those old WWII shooter games, where I would have to punch in a nickname. I really couldn't think of anything original, and to think I could've been simply known as "King." Once I punched in "Kin," I hit random letters. Guess which letters came up next...
-What is your favorite match up against Sonic? What is your least favorite match up?
I always love to play against characters that force me to think about my play. Sonic and Lucario come to my mind. Easy win matchups like Gannon-banned, Link, Zelda, Mario, and etc. are fun too; I could always use a break from all the dumb top-tiered characters, or those that give Sonic trouble. Don't get me wrong though, I like to play out Sonic's bad matchups to get knowledge. As for the ones I hate playing out? Gah, don't get me started on a Wario who goes out of their way to time you out. Falco I cannot stand. Olimar is a Gay-*** MFer. Pikachu was fun until buffered CGs. I could go on but I think I'll leave it at that. Let's not forget Meta Knight though.
-Why do you always bring a bottle of A1 Steaksauce with you to every tournament or smashfest that you attend?
It's the inside joke of our community Tails! I play this game for the community, and since the Steaksauce is our mascot, I always bring it along with me for luck.
-Who do you like, Kagami or Konata?
Neither of the two. If I had to choose though, Konata.
-Since you play Touhou, if Reisen wasn’t a playable character, who would you play as?
I'm not sure. I'd probably be playing Reimu but I may still be searching for a character since I am fairly new to Hisoutensoku and I'm still trying to get used to having a feel for all the characters.
-If Sonic wasn’t a playable character, who would you main?
Meta Knight. That would assume that I'd still be playing this game competitively. This game bores me with it's imbalanced gameplay and campy tactics, and if Sonic weren't in it I don't think I would've bothered with it unless my Meta Knight was good enough to make money.
-If Sonic wasn’t in Brawl, would you still be a competitive player or just play casually?
I already answered this above, but I really do believe that I'd be playing Meta Knight strictly competitively, or not at all.
-What characters do you main/play in Melee?
Funny. I used to play Kirby before I knew all about competitive gaming. Then I slowly drifted to Marth/Luigi/Dr. Mario. Right now I probably would only play Marth.
-Do you like Lucky Star?
Havent' watched it. Don't plan on changing that anytime soon.
-What are your thoughts of the combo video that I created for both of us? What improvement should I have done, other than forgetting to put SK92’s name in the credits?
You did fine Jerry. Even if the clips were old, you worked with what you have, and if people were impressed despite the date some of those matches were recorded, you made a good combo video; since it's suppose to entertain.
-What is your favorite Sonic song?
Crush 40's version of Un-Gravitify.
-Have ever been on a RTC Transit/Citizens Area Transit bus before since you lived here in Las Vegas?
Not at all. My parents have always had two cars.
-What is your favorite stage from any Sonic game that you played?
Oh, that's a toughie. Can I say Emerald Coast?
-Do you like Chili Dogs?
Hell yeah I do.
-Do you have any Sonic plushies?
You trollin'.
-Do you still believe that I will become a good Sonic player?
Get rid of that defeatist attitude and I still believe you could surpass me.
-How do you like your steak cooked?
If I could it raw, I would, but I would have to settle for Medium-Rare.
-Sonic Adventure or Sonic Adventure 2, which game did you like more?
The second one, if only for the Chao Garden.
-What characters do you like to play for fun in Brawl?
Sonic.
Other characters including Martha, Meat Knight, Gannon, and a plethora of other characters. I don't play any of them to the same degree or with the same satisfaction as Sonic though, none of them can possibly compare.
-Are you sure that Kagami does not equal Reisen?
Absolutely. Kagami is a troll who should've been dead from either lack of Oxygen on the moon, burnt to a crisp from the Sun's heat, or frozen to death on the dark side of the moon. Reisen is all real, aside from... being a fictional character.
-Do you believe I have too many Sonic plushies?
Tails, if you donated all your Sonic plushies, you could make at leats 500 children in need happy.
I do know however that you probably have too many Shadow plushies that should be burned immediately.
-Do you like to play claw machines or UFO Catchers?
Nope. Claw Machines are rigged, and I've never played UFO Catcher.
-If you were/are going to attend Anime Vegas this year, what item is on your must buy list?
A regular Sonic plushie, and a Reisen plushie too.
-Have you ever played Sonic 06?
I want to, but I have not.
-Do you think I’m too shy of a person with posting on the forums? Do you think I’m just an overall shy person?
Yes, and yes. Nobody hates you, and I don't see why you can't socialize more around here.
-Do you know what was the original transit name of Las Vegas before it was changed to Citizens Area Transit back in 1992?
Nuh-Uh. Could you tell me?
-What is your opinion about the Gamecube controller skins that I made for you and for the other Vegas Smashers?
Double Sawnik Pawnch on LOLimar too good. I'm sure everybody else appreciated their skins too.
-Why do you hate Megaman X6?
Because that game was half-*****, is unbearably difficult to navigate through, I had a glitch on Metal Shark Player's stage where the crusher killed me on the way up, and I swear that you cannot beat that game without Zero. at least the soundtrack was good. It doesn't help that I traded my soul to the devil just to beat that game on Nightmare mode.
-Have you enter any other tournament before?
You mean for other games besides Brawl? No, I haven't actually.
-Was it true that when you started playing Brawl in tournaments that you used a Wii Mote?
Correct.
-Do you think I post way too many questions?
Nope, I'm glad that somebody actually takes this much interest in knowing me. I'm humbled.
-I heard that you like Mudkip, is that true?
Yez.
-What is your favorite Sonic texture that was created?
Super Sonic.
-What would you do to modify Green Hill Zone to make it a legal stage?
You're suggesting that I don't already believe GHZ is a legal stage?
-What is your favorite stage to play on?
Take a good guess...
-Do you like waffles? Do you like pancakes? Do you like French toast? Can you wait to get a mouth full?
Waffles!
-What is your favorite bus?
The Special bus.
-What’s your favorite kind of pizza?
Pepperoni.
-What your first reaction when you did iSDR on Frigate and when I found out iSDR on Castle Siege?
"Save it."
-What is your favorite Sonic AT?
Side-Taunt cancel.
I guess this is plenty of questions since it reach 3 pages on Microsoft Word.
If you ran out of ideas, okay.
Then again theres no hispanics here so I wouldnt exactly know what traits to look out for lol.
