Smashboards

A suggestion is to "lurk" the forum. Basically, it just means viewing the threads just get the idea of the navigation. Also, you can watch a thread. When you jump in on a thread, at the top near the title, in the thread tool, you can watch the thread which means you have marked and can click on Watched Forums for easy access. You'll get the hang of the site pretty quick.

still don't really understand what's being said, but i'll probably have to grind online matches or something before I do, though it might be more accurately described as "flailing". I really have no idea of what i'm doing.

Oh wait, what are you referring to exactly? The site navigation?

mostly playing online or against other players.

wait...was that what I was supposed to ask about here?

Well this isn't a thread, this is my wall profile. So you're a newcomer to online? Brawl or Melee?

website and brawl. played a few matches against a friend in melee, but they didn't turn out too well.
