Dekar: Who are your mains in Brawl, and why?
CAO: I main Wolf because i have a soft spot for him. I always wanted him to be in smash back when I first picked up the game. I have more recently been focussing on Peach because there are elements to her gameplay that I have carried over from melee, and Pokemon Trainer because Charizard is cute when he falls over from his glide.
Dekar: Why is the Melbourne smash scene so strong?
CAO: Because i do everything for them. Well, that's not the only reason, but it's a good deal why it is. Building up a strong scene in a relatively desparate population takes a long time to build, and I'm one of those stable types that tends to stick around for the long run so I'm someone people can rely on.
Dekar: What's in the future for brawl, and the smash scene in general?
CAO: Brawl's future is pretty good because it's really easy for newcomers to pick up the game and get into it on a competituve level. I've been putting a lot of work into organising a national smash circuit to bring smash to the next level, so we're in for some interesting and memorable times down the track.
Dekar: Thanks Cao, and thank you Forte for such wonderful weather today.
