Hey everyone,
I'm Firelucario and today I decided to join the Smashboards. And I'm more excited than ever!
Why do you ask? Well, it all started back in 2007 or so... A game called Super Smash Bros. Brawl was still in the making and managed to grab my attention. As a fairly new gamer back in the day, I was mostly ignorant about the sheer amount of franchises that existed, including the ones owned by Nintendo. Before Brawl, I only knew a little about the Mario and Pokémon franchises. But the Smash Dojo was something I had never seen before, it opened a whole new world for me. Brawl was the reason that I bought my first home console, it was the reason why I did research on all the characters I loved to play as and the reason why I would eventually try their respective franchises.... I played the game for days and never got enough of it, but eventually I moved on to other games and Brawl would remain unplayed for several years.
I never got into the competive scene, for the longest time I didn't even know it existed. Or that was the case... Until the notorious WFC shutdown was announced and someone asked me to join an online Brawl Farewell tournament. I accepted and started to train a little bit with my favorite characters Pit and Lucario. It was a single elimination tournament and I lost the first match, but I was able to put up quite a fight. Sadly, just when I was craving for more thrilling matches, the online service ended and I had to wait for the next entries. That being said, I'm mostly a casual player...
At this very moment, we are anticipating a new game. A game that looks even more promising than before... Memories are rushing back and with just a few weeks away from the Japanese release of the 3DS version. I couldn't hold myself anymore.
I would like to experience this new game with other fans of the series and this forum seems to be the best place to do so.
So here I am! Many new experiences await and I hope to will have a good time with many of you on this forum.
Until then, Firelucario
