I've been visiting this site for the past few weeks as a non-member, and decided it's about time I joined!
As my username suggests, I love Smash Bros, as well as Sonic. They're my two favourite video game franchises. Of course, my gaming interests stretch far and wide, though!
I main Kirby in Smash 64, Mario in Melee, and Sonic in Brawl. Or at least, they would be the characters I play as most, though I'm able to play well with a lot of characters (and recently, I'm discovering I'm very good with Toon Link in Brawl).
I joined here mainly because right now I have no one to consistently play Smash Bros with in my area. I live in Ireland, so needless to say, the Smash Bros tournament scene is basically non-existant, to my knowledge. I doubt this will really change with Smash 4, and while I am getting both versions as I own both systems, I can't think of many people in my area who will be too. So considering the fact that we will have online play in Smash 4, I figured it would be a good idea to properly join an online Smash community and maybe try and fit in, and maybe by the time Smash 4 is out, I'll have lots of people to play with! I also need a place to properly express my excitement for all of the announcements and what not, as they happen!
I also got Project M working recently (both on my modded Wii and on Dolphin), and I think it is an amazing mod. It's another reason why I wish I had people to play with!
As for a bit about me, I am currently enrolled in a Computer Games Design course in college. It's going pretty well, and I am of course tinkering around and will eventually work on putting out my own projects!
This is also the third forum I have joined. I joined my first back in 2010, and I still use it. I then joined another a few months ago. So I have a lot of experience with forums already, and hopefully that will show!
I think that's enough about me for now, I'll not rattle on any further. I look forward to enjoying my stay here at Smashboards!
